 In the present system the junior high is not rated as such by the state department of education pc. cause of the inability Of the schoo' to present the necessary courses que to crowded conditions.
 D. K. Perry. the architect "ho drew the plans. said the cost o' erection would be $l25.O0O. stanl@s L, Galpin, the president Of the school board, said the debt could be paid off with % years on the pres. ent assessment with an addltlona' fax of 1-2 mills Several cilzehs offered arguments for and against inc nroicct.

motor cars is on display in the

sorbers have made it possible to
lower the ears one inch due to the
fact that it is possible to use less
ride between the frame and bumper
on account of the movement OF
springs being controlled by the ac-
tion OF the shock absorbers.
An improved multiple disc clutch
is used on all models, being easily
ample to absorb the increased en-
gine power in a smooth and positive
manner. The centralized lubricating
system has been retained.
Bodies on all models are larger
and have three-fourths of an inch
lower roofs. Doors on the 1881
models are larger, giving better and
easier access. All closed body inter
iors are unusually attractive and
luxurious and new art metal smok-
ing and vanity cases are provided
in all sedan models and in the 5S

not modern and should be brought up
to date SO that they will be com.
Portable in winter and summer. The

CIRCULATION OF
COUNTY LIBRARY
SHOWS INCREASE

Miss Katharyn Campbell, acting
county librarian since the resigna-
tion of Miss Evalyn Boman several
months ago, has submitted the fol
lowing report to the county super
visors:
To the Honorable Board of Super
visors of Imperial Comfy,
Ell Centre, Calf.
Gentlemen.
Following is the annual report of
the year ending June sc, 1929 and
work accomplished by the county
Librarian and her staff. County IL
brarian resigned April /, 1929
You win note that our circulation
has increased l5,705 over last year
which shows that there is big de-
mand for library service, that we are
reaching more people and that the
books are being used. Larger coli
leetions and books of a greater va
rietY were kept at the branches this
year and the custodians were encour-
aged by the acting Librarian to in
terest their readers in more non
fiction and there has been more call
for better class of reading in prac-
tically all of the branches than ever
/ before.
Two new branches were organized
where they were greatly needed.
Magnolia school had room equip
/ ped with shelves by the school board
! and we provided the custodian and
supplied the books. They are very
enthusiastic and although the branch
was not started until October, their
circulation reached 1866. Mt. Sig
nal has just been a branch since
January and their circulation is al
ready S44.
The branch and school work has
| increased to Such proportions and
their demands are so heavy that now
more personal attention is necessary
cnd by having our own ear we were
able to make regular visits and COW
er more territory this year, saving
postage and giving better service in
every way.
Expense Reduced
The librarian was honored by be-
ing invited as n guest of the Mis-
sion Inn at Riverside. to attend the
meeting of the Institute of Inter
national A fairs and the fine talks
We're both entertaining and instruc-
tive.
For ''Book Week. the librarian
Lad very attractive exhibit which
she displayed in the window of the
Office Supply Company in FL Cen
tro. 1t represented in miniature a
room in home with the family en-
loving an evening with books from
a miniature library, the object of
the exhibit. Each member Of the
family had a book to suit his own
taste. In the rest of the window
there were beautiful illustrations
from famous books for children and
large attractive posters, to stimulate
interest in "Book Week. This ex-
hibit was also shown in Brawley and
other valley towns.
4 great many more books were
mended at headquarters TINS year
and fewer discarded We were able
TO eliminate binding bin entirely
by having a professional mender
take care of the books. The charges
% cents a book which is much less
than having them rebound.
Story hours are very popular par
tieularly in Brawlev where they are
held regularly with large attend
ance.
I wish to thank the board of
supervisors for their friendly inter
est and consideration shown us dur
ing the year. wish also to thank
the assistants for their devotion and
faithful work in the library.
Respectfully submitted,
Katharyn Campbell,
Acting County Librarian.

longer wheelbase, all models have
| been lowered approximately two
inches, giving long, low graceful
lines that are eloquent of the surg
ing power that has been built into
the big overhead valve engine.
Appearance Changed
While retaining the Buick indi-
yiduality of appearance, the lines
and contours of the body have been
refined to such an extent that the
1880 Buick is q distinctive creation.
The radiator shape has been revised
to give it long, racy appearance
The margin of the radiator she'll
has been reduced to more slender
dimensions and the radiator core
has been protected with thermo-
statically controlled shutters. The
cars beauty is further enhanced by
an attractive molding. The nose Of
the front tenders has been dropped
closer to the tires and smaller
wheels, with stockv, wooden spokes
have been adopted.
Mechanically, adoption of new
type brake is an outstanding con
tribution to the 1880 Raick ad-
Vances. This is a mechanically
operated four-wheel system of the
internal expanding Servo type. This
brake is the result OF years of re-
search TO- develop q safety device
which would be protected against
all adverse road and weather con
diti0hs.
The new Buick brake is controlled
by patented hinge shoe construc-
tion, assuring smooth operation and
the elimination of grabbing.
The new Buick semi-elliptic spring
suspension with double-acting hy-
draulic shock absorbers is another
noteworthy feature Of the new car
The long springs give the car a
free and easy swing which is con
trolled in both directions. They
eliminate sharp rebounds and pre-
vent the frame from striking the
axle under the most severe road con
ditions. The doubleacting shock alb
sorbers are new development and
check the car on both bound and re-
bound. Their action is controlled by
metering valves which insure uni
formity of action under all road
conditions.
That cost has been no cOnsidera-
tion in making the 1880 Buick the
finest car in the history of the com
pany is evidenced further in the
n / L..
arm distributors on all cars in the
80 and 90 series to insure proper
firing of the larger engine under
all speeds and conditions. The ear
buretiOn system in the new Buick
embodies two major improvements
the gasoline pump has been rede-
signed and improved, and the low
speed carburetor adjustment has
been eliminated. Each carburetor
is accurately calibrated to give the
best ail-arOund results.
A remarkable ease Of steering
has been obtained in the new Buick
by the use Of an accurately made
and fully adjustable worm and roll
er type steering gear. All road shock
through the steering wheel is elm
mated by special road shock elm
inator placed at the 'front end of
the frame on the steering gear
side. This device allows for slight
movement and in this way all road
shocks are absorbed in the shock
clirninator without being transfer
red to the steering wheel.
Chassis Entirely New
The new Buick chassis is entire
ly new The frame Is tapered and
is extra wide at the rear, making
a much better support for the
bodies. The double acting shock alb
