of September for Los Angeles where
she will make her future home. The

that the school hire full time nurse.
The school board, however, cannot az
ford to pay for a nurse of such high
calibre. All reports show that the
services of Mrs. Biggs have been en-
tirely satisfactory.

iaams spells itself in signs on the

piped to the camp grounds. However,
the water is free for the asking.
