Careful In Expenditures

~aEetui HI ExpenulGureS
 Personally, know of nothing that could exert a greater influence on the passage of school bonds than the pres ence on the board of Mir. Minor. The voters know from a study of his past record that he will demand the judicious and economical expenditure of their money. Mir. Minors fitness is recognized in all parts of the county No other person in the county is so thoroughly qualified to sit on the education board.
 He has given freely of his time and has visited the school patrons and kept always conversant with their educational views. In late years he has practically retired from business and now is able to give almost unlimited time to his educational work. He should be kept in office. and should be kept there by a veritable landslide"
 Indorsing Dr. Wilson's statement, President Moore said he would later re- veal to the voters some of the educa- tional accomplishments for which Mir Minor is responsible. A countrywide campaign in his interest will be launched immediately

SEEK LANDSLIDE
 VOTE FOR MINOR
pr. Wilson Points Out His Great Work For
 County Schools

In a vigorous statement urging the overwhelming reelection of J. W. Minor as a member of the county board of education, -Dr. Cunningham Wilson, widely known physician and member of the board, declared Thursday that the displacement of this veteran educator would strike heavy blow at the con tinued educational progress of Jeffer- son county"
 In equally emphatic terms, J. D. Moore. president of the board, described MT. Minors services invaluable, and ex- pressed the belief that the voters will roll up an unprecedented ma ajority for him in the primary of May 13.
 There are countless reasons" said Dr. Wilson. "why Mir. Minor should by all means be retained on the board. Not the least of these is his long record of unselfish service extending over 20 years, during which his influence edu- catiOnally has been felt in every corner of the county.
 "Mr. Minor has been in our midst more than 30 years. ISis name and his record stand for honestly, efficiency and educational progress. He has made a marked success of his business affairs uuu tuc pcopic OL tuc CUuuty nave tHe utmost confidence in him. I feel that his reelection is assured, but feel also that his remarkable record on the board entities him to one of the biggest ma jorities ever given, Il candidate in Jeffer- son county"
 Leads In Building
 Dr. Wilson told how Mir. Minor, at the sessions of the board had taken the lead in the school building program and how he had taken firm position for the wise and economical expenditure of school funds. aa
 "The Jefferson county school build ings," he continued. "are highly credita- ble in appearance. but careful inspec- tion will show that there are no un- necessary frills. no waste of space, no extravaganza of any kind. This is due largely to the stand taken by Mir. Minor. His powerful influence in edu- cational affairs cannot be questioned.
 Much building remains to be done. A bond issue is being Nprojected. The finances are in such condition that nu- merous serious problems must be solved before this building issstarted. In these deliberations the board of education will need Mir. Minor, and the interests of the public and the thousands of school chil-
