A STATEMENT.

Mr. Editor: Please allow me q |
space to make statement to the peo-
pie of Belington Independent District
In the first place let me say that
have no apology to make, no sores to
heal nor vengeance to wreak. 1t has
been my object to get the best could
for our boys and girls and at the
same time be as lenient as possible
on the taxpayer.

has been very urgent for vote
on the Gym" proposition, that l
would be governed by the result of
the primary election. This friend

ter against me on election day, by
prostituting it's intent. This friend

urgent for vote on the Gym" but

reducing the school term in the gra-
des to six months 1t. seems that
this friend (?) has been measuring
my corn in his fifteen quart half-bus-
hel measure. This friend (?) came
to me last year and offered to "get
behind the school" if / would do GER
tain things that he wished done;
! leaving me to infer that unless |
followed his advice, he would not
help. | offered to resign and give
him the place. ooh no" said he. I'm
the Independent District the Board
fills it's own vacancies) would not
| have the place under any considerat-
ion." Yet this friend CD of the
! schools would make a cats paw of
me to pull his chestnuts out of the
fire" This won't work with your
"Uncle Bill
For the term of 1918 and 1919, the
Board received nearly $500. from the
State for the support of the Graded
School, and was compelled to close
the school one month on account of
lack of funds. For the term of 1919
and 1920, we received no support for
the Grades, employed an additional
teacher yet only closed part of the
grades few days This would not
have been necessaryy had not the b.
ard of Public Works reduced the
valuation of Public Utilities, Our
predecessors closed the High School
for lack of funds with $4,000 in it's
treasury.
Permit me to say, that | intend to
remain right on the job, and intend
to do all that can for the boys and
girls of our city. / hold no malice
! against those who were mislead by
my enemies; am also glad to know
that have made some enemies. The
man who makes no enemies, will pass
| off the stage of life and be remember
ed no more than the insect of yester-
| day. God bless our enemies. Our
Savior had many of those necessary
evils.
intend to do all, can to put the
school property in good shape for our
successors who will have my full
support in their work
Let us forget the primary and all
work for Greater Belington
My Colleagues are in full accord
with this statement.

disabled VETERANS are to have pre-
ferential treatment.
Figures give by DR.. Rucker to
New York woman show
that this third of billion dollars
would not meet all the legitimate and
honorable debts contracted by the
United States with its wounded men.
These figures show that under the
present law, disable man IS not en-
titled to re-education with living ex-
pences unless he is so incapacltated
that he cannot return to his former
lawful occupation, but may be educat-
ed at Government expence. There
are at least 100000 men who are IN

w. but not more than $4,000 or a.
possible 10000 will be educated and
permitted to draw living compensa-
ton as well. This leaves from 80,
600 to 100000 men who are left with
nothing but their pensions, although
disabled Even with the most
economical care, it will take half a
billion annually to look after these
men properly.

"To the above figures said DR..
Rucker, Should be added enough

lieved to be the maximum number
discharged with disability.
The mere patching up of these men
and getting them into some degree Of
physical efficiency viii not complete
the work which the Government is. in
honor bound to do. Furthermore, it
is not only unscientific to consider
the job finished upon discharge from
hospital, but it is also bad general
economic policy. A great many of
these men will require physical after
care. This will be provided by the.
Govern ment through the use Of out
patient clinics and follow-up sys-
tenn. Many of these men will require
re-education This will be done by
the Vocational Board, but even all
this, it will be necessary to carry on
certain work which will maintain,
which will stimulate, which will ele-
vate the morale and the spiritual out
look of these ex-soldiers, sailors and
marines.
"In spite of all that the Govern
ment, in its really great generosity
is willing to do for these men, there
will always remain certain residum
who will be unable to enter private
life in competition with men
who are physically and metally sound.
Some instrumentality will be neces-
sary to handle the individual who is

The New York woman mentioned
above, who is active in rehabilitation
work, has received reports showing

Government was able to get around to
