Tn. ,7tralagauca Of purchasing a
grand piano with the amplco attach
mont was savagcIy attacked at first:
but after the Auditors Office was
forced o. admit that the piano was
really q gi, to the school, the impress
sion became more general that II IS an
asset rather than liability. The famous
AmpIco reproducing attachmc nt is said
By famous musical critics TO b. almost
equal to the personal performing of
great piaHIsts-the reproductions are
20 exact. 4 good many admit that
such an instrument Is of tremendous
Importance IN al isolated place where
great performers cannot be had, even
at one thousand dollars night.
Finally, the examiners failed to note
that the school has to show for its de
iiciency more than fifty thousand dol
lars worth of permanent improve
ments, paid for during the past two
years: a heating plant at S27 900:
water mains at SO ZOO; dormitory fur
niturc at 5000; new sewer connec-
tons at 81 200; connecting old building
10 new heating plant. Sl.lo0; furni-
ture and equipment in new part OF
school, sl,i00; additions of permanent
equipment to the laboratories, 81 800;
expenditures on Highland Village, in
addition TO that subscribed by the peo-
pie. $4,000; musical instruments, s4,-
500; additions to library, $4,000. This
lists only part of the permanent
construction and equipment, the cost
of which is extra and above the orr
ginal Secrie & Varnum contract, which
provided only for the bare walls of the
building; yet all of these things, A.
mounting to more than 900, are
in use at the school plant, and anyone
can see them for himself.
The appropriation to cover the de-
fciency has gone through uncut. 1t
will enable the school to start again
with a clean slate-everything paid
for. BY careful management the rev.
enue from the millage will enable the
school to run at almost its former ca
pacity and efficiency.
Some people raise the question, Why
did the school go beyond its budget
at all There is only one answer;
1t was necessary to make the additions
IN the physical plant or to close the
school. Without the heating plant
and water and sewer systems the
County High School building, as well
as the Normal School addition would
7 have remained useless. Without the
furniture and equipment half of last
/ years summer school students would
have had to be refused admittance.
! Think these things over and deal
fairly with them in your own mind.

by the Gunnison school, includes part
Of the regular or annual salary of the
regular faculty; that is, instead Of
showing only the extra charges for
additional summer school faculty and
lecturers, II shows one-sixth Of the
regular annual salary of the regular

from the summer school, should have

This newspaper must first Of all De
clean. it must be fair, it must pc
honest and without malice in Its
opinions and expressions and it must
at all time, devote itself unfilncning-
lyand fearlessly to the public service
in the interests of the masses OF the
people.
It must always combat evil and in
justice.
1t must always fight for progress
and reform.
1t must never tolerate corruptions-
1t must be in sympathy with the
poor and unfortunate.
For Belington it must always
stand with the unselfish devotion, for
the achievement of the finest ideals,
of every high purpose, of every en-
ternrise, of every step in the march
Of progress.
1t must stand for good govern
ment, freedom, equality, the public
welfare, civic and true patriotism and

THURSDAY, OCT. 10, 1928

There are still left around Be
l;ngton a few people who con-
tend that newspaper advertis-
ing values are overarted. So
for their benefit we want to call
attention to the fact that while
the strike Of printing pressmen
in New York is about at an end,
there was one whole week when
the New York papers were cut
down to four and eight pages,
six and eight daily papers com
bining to make possible even an
eight-page paper.
But here is the point. Dur
ing that week advertising was
not accepted, all space in the
papers being devoted to news.
And merchants Of New York
publicly announced that if the
strike was prolonged for a few
weeks many Of them would be
bankrupt. Stores quickly saw
a falling off in the number of
customers. Clerks by the thou
sand were idle behind thecount-
ers, with only an occasional sale
The people who read the paper
did not find an advertisement in
them so they quit buying every
thing except groceries and the
things they were forced to have
from day to day. Petitions
were sent to the paper by the
advertiser urged them to
hurry and settle the strike, il
they possibly could, so adver.
Using could again be secured in
theeir columns.
1t is the man who advertises
that gets the business, there's
no sense in questioning that. As
he generally doesn't miss the
water until the well runs dry
neither does he notice q loss o1
customers until he ceases to ad.
vertise. The New York exam
pie was a fine inc to prove the
power of printers ink And
just as advertising has made
money for New York merchant
in their territory, so it will oake
money for our merchants right
here at home.

written it is going to show terrible
toll of deaths due wholly to careless
ness. Already the Pennsylvania
railroad has issued statement that,
despite all warnings, twice as many
people have been killed on that COM
pany's railroad crossings this year as
last. There were 46 killed and 80 in
iured at crossings on this one system
in the month of July alone.
The railroad also makes one state
ment which we wish every auto dr1v-
er around Belington would remem-
Der. The officials say in closing their
report: "The Pennsylvania has often
iperated a whole year without killing
a single passenger. But if our loco
motive engineers were as careless
with the lives of their passengers as
as the drivers of autos are with their
lives no such record could ever be
hoped for.
There's one reliable rule for cross
ing railroad tracks-go into second!
The mere act of reaching for the
gear lever to make the shift from
high to second will cause you to be-
come watchful. The fact that you
can't race with a locomotive when
your car is in second" is another
safeguard. And still another is that
the chance of killing" your engine
is very small as long as it is running
in second speed.
Get tn habit of automatically
changing into second as you ap-
proach railroad crossing, and it vii
never be your fault that the number
of fatalities in this country are daily
growing to an awful proportion.
