Roy School House Burned
In Churches and Other Temporary Accommodations
$6OOOOOO BONDS MODERN BUILDING AT ON CE Or
DERED BY THE PEOPLE

Of the old one and the deliberations
terminated in a unanimous vote Of all
present, including over so men and
taxpayers, that the School Board be
instructed to begin at once prelimina-
ries for the issuance of $60,00O.00 in
bonds for the new building, decide on
the best and most modern kind Of a
building to have, and complete it in
the shortest time possible, having it
ready for the beginning Of the fall
term if possible.
The School Board met Saturday ev-
ening with the Village Legal Advisor
Attorney w. R. Holly Of Springer,
persent, and organized. K. Lopez was
elected president and L. E. Deubler
vice president. Albert Branch was
chosen secretary but resigned later
and the place is yet to be filed.
During the deliberations the Wag-
ner District sent in delegation to re-
quest that they be admitted to the
Roy District and given the rights and
benefit of a Community School. Other
districts are considering the same
thing and it may be that several will
consolidate and make this the biggest
as we'll as the best district in the en-
tire county.
The way in which the people of Roy
and the District met this emergency
is the source of pride to us and we
recognize the fact that nothing can
be disaster to a people with such a
spirit of cooperation. This is why
Roy is the best town in the state of
its class and why it will soon be a
bigger and better town, with more
prosperous and moderen community.
Its this "Everlastin' teamwork" that
make cities out of small towns and
we have it down to a science. The
burning of our school house is unfor-
tunate but "Phoenix" has nothing on
the town of Roy when it comes to ris-
ing bigger and better from the ashes.
School was opened last Monday
morning in various places around town
and good attendance is reported.
The work will be carried on even if
most of the books were destroyed in
the fire. "Where there's will, there's
ways2 IS being demonstrated here
daily. The churches generously offer
ed the use of their buildings and the
work goes on. The different grades
are located in the following rooms:
Red Cross Rooms-Primary.
Picture Show Hall--2nd, 3rd, 4th,
Grades.
Christian Church-5th, 9th Grades.
Baptist Church-7th, 9Th, 9th and
10th Grades.

BUREAU OF WAR RISK INSUR-
ANCE IDENTIFICATION CARDS

Former service men are receiving
from the Bureau Of War Risk Insur-
ance, an Identification card bearing
their name and insurance number, for
ready reference, such as they carried
while in the service. This card will
enable the men to give their correct
insurance number when communicat-
ing with the Bureau Of War Risk In
surance and also serves for identif-
cation in case Of sickness or accident.
Many Of these cards are being re-
turned to the Bureau by former men
instead Of being retained. The Di-
rector Of the War Risk Insurance Blu
reau requests all former service men
who receive these Identification cards
to keep them.

Democrat Plans

Owing to the inability of State Com
mitteman ]. Floersheim and County
Chairman, J. w. Beck, to attend the
meeting Of the State Central Commit
tee meeting at albuquerque, that duty
was unloaded upon the S-A editor. We
went Sunday returning Tuesday even
ing and had very pleasant and, we
think profitable trip, and experience.
Most of the counties were represents
ed and much efficient planning was
done for the coming campaign.
The Convention to select delegates
to the National Convention at San
Francisco was given to Roswell, and
the date, June 3, when it will be
pleasure trip to drive down to that
interesting city and enjoy their hos
pitality while choosing men for the
most important mission modern man
or woman may attempt-that Of choos-
ing the next president of the United
States.
The inside information gained at
this meeting is most gratifying and
many Of our doubts and fears have
been set at rest by it while the need
for work to prevent and correct the
political conditions and practices OF
the dominant official element at pres
ent in New Mexico, and return to the
constructive program of the all-Dem-
ocratic administration.
The outstanding feature of the meet
ing was the unanimous desire to do
without State Daily paper and help
the So weekly Democratic papers dis
tributed over the state, to reach the
people with the truth where the false
hood of the polluted, misguiding, big
business-owned daily press reaches on
ly indifferently and conveys to them
only what the interests of those to
whom the truth is not profitable, de-
sires for them to read.
The weeklies are to have source
of information in state matters that
will bring to the people the things
that those who have knowledge and
access to records know of graft, mis-
rule and unjust discrimination that
exists in our state while the National
committee furnishes the truth about
national affairs.
What money is spent for publicity
will 90 to the Democratic weeklies and
the Democratic papers which feel like
getting rich off the campaign will be
allowed to go with the opposition, the
theory being that if an editor is not
enough of a Democrat to be for the
greatest cause in the world, he is evil
IDENTIFY against it and will be less harm
full in the ranks of the enemy.

Inter Church
HEARN, EDITOR

i
In one of the Eastern states no.
tice of a picnic ended with the well
come expression "Horses and preach
ers fed free"
April 25th to May End is the week
when thirty denominations unite in a
financial campaign conducted by the
lInterchurch movement.
Our orphanages, schools, churshas,
and hospitals have not kept pace with
our national growth
Five thousand patients per day have
been refused admission to protestant
hospitals last year on account of lack
of room.
More children are turned away from
our orphanages than are admitted be-
cause Of overcrowding.
A human feeling would tell us that
If we do not believe in the method of
the Interchurch movement we can best
serve our common Lord by keeping
our mouths shut. "
A careless criticism may make an
orphan homeless or cause sick mans
death.
The man who is going to drop dead
because he fears that this organic un-
ion needs to suck thermometer
he has organic troubles of his own.
Mrs. W. H. Wilcox says: my
own church has made orphanage and
hospital work prominent and / am
glad to see that the Protestant church
is taking this advanced step"
Henry Krabbenschmidt says: / be-
lieve that every dollar raised for the
Interchurch movement will be applied
to the proper channels. The business
methods are sound"
If you should inquire the Inter-
church movement will not distribute
aeroplanes to the farmers of New Mex
leo for farming purposes.
The New York Office will provide US
with a set of slides and steroptieon
for next Sunday night. They are the
results of the recent survey to date.
We want at least one representative
from each community on the mesa to
carry the information home. We will
not likely get the opportunity again.
/ believe that the work of the Inter-
church movement along the line Of
Improvement, Standardization and ex-
pansion Of its hospitals is one Of the
greatest undertakings of any organi-
zation and will result in the greatest
of benefit not only to those of the
Ecor and needy who may need the care
Of tie hospitals II the foreigners in
whose countries they are established,
but will result in the better education
of our own people along this line, the
good results of this movement along
this one line only are so far reaching
that it is hardly possible for us TO
imagine its extent. feel that it is a
work that is worthy of the best there
is in any of US and that each of us
should give it our support, not only
by a good word here and there but
where we can, we should put forth an
effort to do something worth while.
Respectfully,

The Roy school building was entire
" destroyed by fire last Thursday
night, nothing but the crumbling roc5
and concrete walls remaining Of what
has been the pride Of Roy in the past
and the hope Of her future.
There had been no fire in the stoves
all day and nothing unusual. The jan
itor, Nue Trujillo, and wife, had swept
and busted and had the rooms all
ready for school next morning and
left, locking the doors securely at 6
p. m. At Is minutes before eleven at
night, the fire was discovered by Chris
Willers and Taylor Browning as they
were starting home, but from differ
ent parts Of town.
The fire seems to have started in
the southwest room up stairs and then
bursted out through the roof at the
time it was first seen. The alarm was
sounded as fast as possible but when
people arrived at the scene no ordi-
nary human agency could have saved
the building so the people could only
stand by and witness the tragedy.
All the books, and equipment of the
Schools were destroyed including the
Piano which cost so much in worry
and effort to attain. Within an hour
after the flames were discovered all
that would burn was in ashes.
Bonds unpaid amounting to $500
remain on the building and insurance
was in force to the amount Of $1,000
which will likely be paid in full. The
building was worth double the price
Of building it owing to cost of mater
ial and labor being from double to six
times the cost when it was built.
Friday evening the people Of Roy
and the district, outside, met at the
Roy Theatre in a mass meeting, at
which Mayor F. S. Brown was chosen
to preside and VIM. G. Johnson re-
corded the deliberations. The teach
ers volunteered 10 go on with the
schools and do the best possible with
out equipment for the remaining five
weeks of the term and the Christian
and Baptist churches were offered
gratis for school purposes in the emer-
gency. The Red Cross Hall and Pic
ture Show hall were also rendered and
it was decided to continue the schools
Monday morning and do the best they
can with what equipment can be got
ten together.
When the emergency was disposed
Of the matter of what to do about a
new building was discussed thoroughly
and the united sentiment was all for
beginning at once to prepare to erect
a modern school building on the site
