for social events.
Members of the floor committee of
teachers at the community center diff
fered in their opinions as to the pro-
priety Of the dances, it is said, result

community activities.
The dances that resulted in today's

dance halls. but in the schools We
must maintain a high standard in all
entertainments" Superintendent Nor
Jensen said I'VE try to keep every
activity of the centers on a plane SO

NO ACTION TAKEN
IN REDUCING FORCE
Sheritf'S Department Subject
of Conference Yesterday.
Asks More Time

No action was taken by the judges of
the circuit court on the request of Sheriff
j. c. Hartsfeld that they ask the board
OF revenue to defer it's recent action plac-
ing the sheriff's department on a monthly
budget of 5000 at a conference held yes
terday.
In addition to the judges, d. c. Ball
president of the board of revenue, Mr.
Hartsfield and his attorney attended the
conference. The sheriff asked that the
action reducing his force be deferred un-
til July l, when there would be no courts
in session. He stated that with only q
men to enforce the laws in Jefferson
county, approximately 800 square miles, It
would be impossible for him to handle
the court work as we'll. He declared If
he was forced to reduce his force on
April l, as he will be il the expense re-
dIction goes into effect on that date, it
will be impossible for him to properly
cope with the law enforcement situation
in the county, and he will be compelled
to neglect either the serving of court
papers or the enforcement of law in the
county.
The matter was discussed at length,
after which the judges decided it was not
in their province to interfere with the ac-
lions of the board of revenue as the mat
ter was one for the discretion of the
board.
Request of William ]. Waldrop, clerk of
the court, that the judges reconsider the
recently issued that he
dispense with the services of three clerks
in the civil division and one in the Grim
inal division OF the circuit court was
not acted on.
