County School superintendent Wal
ter s. Fogarty states that the school
at West Alexandria will very likely be
discontinued. probably for year at
least, owing to the fact that the at
tendance at present is not sufficient
to warrant its continuance, However,
the situation probably will be clarified

proper accommodations are available
in Eaton, it is quite likely the change
