Jordan Acts ia View of Serious Short
age of Fuel.

A request that all the schools in
Shawnee county outside of Topeka be
closed Friday on account of the fuel
shortage, was issued today by Josia n
Jordan, county superintendent.
Jordan stated that critical condi-
tions exist in many school districts
and expressed the belief that it be-
share in relieving the suffering He
urged that school boards take notice
of actual cases of want and furnish
fuel to families where the county
authorities are unable to do so.
Jordan's statement follows:
Owing to the fuel shortage l request
that the schools of the county close Fri
day, Dee. 10, for two weeks at least The
situation is critical in many school dis
tricts and it becomes the duty OF school
authorities to do their share In preventing &
suffering from lack of fuel 1t is alto
gether likely that by jan the situation
will be so improved that the schools may
open.

will furnish fuel to families when county

Jordan explained that he had no
authority to order the schools closed
except in such an emergency as that
of the flu last year, but that he could
make the request and believed many
school boards would comply with it.
1t will be up to each school board in
