down the number of state boards and

Quoted by the state be grouped. For
instance, the state now has oil inspec-

The house committee on education
killed the Thorkelson bill allowing
teachers of rs years experience in
the state to retire at the age of 60 on

to have them taken up as a special
order later on.

 The Country club is one of the prettiest places in the city for a party and a large crowd is expected Tuesday afternoon. Those desiring reservations are asked to telephone Mrs. Jack Lovett, chairman, 331-J; Mrs. Edward Graham, 3S7S-J; Mrs Eason T. Cook, 2276-J; or Mrs. M. C.. Nixon, 4165.
