John Pulaski Threw Traffic Signals and Waste Cans Around-Einds Valuable Pearl in Oystcr-Fir,t Meeting of New Council.

That the board Of education is go- ing step too far in seeking to re- quire medical certificates of all High school pupils using the gymnasium swimming pool is the opinion of many people about the city and a protest will be made at the next meeting ot the board. During the last few weeks the High school has suffered from numerous wild tales, but no truth 10 the rumors was found when the cases were carefully considered by the authorities. For this reason, local people feel that the board of education is taking an improper stand in making the school mark for criticism as by eXacting medical cer- tiicates. The matter is in the hands of a committee to look into and re- port back 10 the board. and at the meeting of the board there will be d hot protest from several parents.
