FrankiOrd-DagSbOrO School District
Loose School

Some days ago local members of
the FrankfOrd-Dagsboro Consolidat
ed School District were called to
Dover by the State Board of Educa-
ttOn and asked to state their reason
for having refused to sell the school
bonds so as to allow the building
commission 10 proceed with the cree
tiOn of new high school for this
district, and it is understood their
reason was that they were dissati5-
fled with the site which was selected
by the building commission.
At special election held during
July of last year the district voted
almost unanimously to bond the dis
trict for the purpose of erecting a
new high school in this district.
Since it is not one of the duties of
the local school board members a
select a site, many persons are won
dering why the commission QOcaD
have not called public meeting so
as to get the sentiment of the peo-
pie of the district. 1t appears now
that the majority of the people were
unaware the site had been definitely
oCIllGl anu lilIL llICIG WdS al DOSSl-
bility of the money being allocated
to another district, which has since
been done. Now that the money has
been allocated to Lord Baltimore a
number of persons have shown much
resentment toward the local school
board members for their failure to
advise the general public of the con-
ditions.
Many feel that the local board
should have sold the bonds and ac-
cepted the school on a site which
had been the choice of the State
Board as well as many other state
officials, sooner than loose the school
entirely. They claim that they should
have at least called a public meeting
and state the conditions so as to re-
lieVed themselves of the responsible
ity of having killed the school.
Many who have supported the To-
cal commissioners in their stand for
4 site along the DUPONT Highway,
have changed their minds after hav-
ing learned why the money was re-
allOcated to another district. An
other thing which has caused much
change in sentiment is the promise
of the state highway department to
construct an eighteen foot secondary
road from DagsbOro to FrankfOrd,
providing the school is erected upon
the old state road
There seems only one way out Of
the matter and that is to elect at
the coming regular school election
three commissioners who pledge
themselves to sell the school bonds,
as it is said the State Board of Edu-
cation will make another ALLEGATION
in this event. 1t is said that this
will not be a difficult matter if SEN
timent continues to change as it has
in the past two weeks. What the
people now want is a school regard
less of the location.

The progress made toward curbing
landscape leprosy in New Jersey has
been watched with interest and graf
iflcation. Weeks before its new law
went into effect about sixty signs
which interfered with scenery or
constituted a menace to travel had
been removed, while $50 firms had
given notice that they would discon-
tinue outdoor advertising. onnecti-
cut also curbs billbOards through
taxation. Virginia now has a law
sweeping all intersections clean of
advertising. Other States report
progress toward similar goals.
All arguments for this form of
regulation apply with especial force
to Pennsylvania, with its thousands
of miles of fine roads and abundance
of lovely scenery, which is suffering
from the increasing encroachment
of roadside signs. The license and
tax charges in the TalDoC Dill are
exceedingly mild in comparison with
the billboard fees in France, which
range from $24 to SIG per thirty
nine square inches, in accordance
with the size of the signs. Even so,
bitter opposition to the enactment
of this measure is to be expected.
Billboard regulation is overdue in
Pennsylvania, however, and the
present Legislature must be made to
realize that taxation and restriction
on roadside advertising are impera-
tive for the preservation of the
States scenery and the protection of
its travellers. .r
Milford chronicle., 1931-02-13

The movement to abate landscape
leprosy has been rapidly gaining mo-
mentum in this country in recent
years. 1t represents belated recog-
milton of the fact that, while the
steady increase in the Nations hard
surfaced highways has made motor
travel much more convenient and
comfortable, it has also stimulated
parasitical growth of signs of
every description, which rob travel
ing of much of its pleasure. How
can it be pleasureable when bill
boards in serried ranks hide attrac-
tive scenery or obscure the view at
dangerous curves and intersections?
As Governor Buck, of Delaware,
saye:
There is a problem which we
must face with determination if the
roads we are building today shall
be a heritage of pleasure to those
who are to follow us. have refer
ence to the abuse of our costly and,
generally speaking, attractive high
ways by the indiscriminate erection
of not only unsightly but, in some
repulsive signs.
"The rapidity with which this class
of advertising is increasing in our
State demands that the business,
which entirely derives its life and
from the pubno's invest
ment in motorized highways, be sub
jected to State regulation if our
main thoroughfares are not to be-
come avenues of artificial scenery
AS Governor Buck points out, the
only real solution for this problem
Is State regulation. Voluntary cam
paigns by various clubs can and do
help to abate this nuisance, for their
protests to users of billboards are
needed. The Pennsyl-
vania Department of Highways, de-
spite it's limited powers, removed
$4,000 illegal signs during clean
lp campaign last fall. But these re-
suits are small in comparison with
hose which can be obtained through |
ldequate State regulation.

U. S. LOSES BUYER
China Too Poor to Purchase
Farm Board Wheat.

SHANGHAI, Oct. 30.-Engulfed
by foreign and domestic difficulties,
and with finances at a low ebb, the
China nationalist government found
it impossible today to purchase
further wheat supplies from the
United States government farm
board.
The Japanese crisis in Manchuria
and the heavy load of flood relief
payments, will eliminate China as
a wheat buyer even though addi-
tional purchases are desirable, gov
eminent authorities said.
The custer of Gen. Chang Hsueh-

CHICAGO SCHOOL
TEACHERS DRAW
BELATED CHECKS
First Payment Since April
Brings Relief to $4,000
instructors.

CHICAGO Oct. 30-Chicago's
$4,000 school teachers today re-
ceived their first pay checks since
last April.
To many of the instructors the
checks for their September salaries
brought relief from actual privation
and suffering. The payments aver
aged $3.50 each.
Issuance of the checks marked
the first step in the long struggle
to solve Chicago's tax muddle which
has resulted in the teachers serv-
ing without pay and numerous de-
lays in payment of other city en-
ployes.
Of1cials and civic leaders eX-
pressed themselves as optimistic that
at least part Of overdue school pay
rolls for last April, May and June,
and salaries for October, falling due
almost Immediately, would be paid
within few weeks.
Teachers viewed the payment of
even one months salary as a god
send. Many had exhausted their
last credit accounts. Others had
been forced to borrow funds.
Many teachers in extremity had
cashed in scrip which was offered
IN lieu of cash at enormous dis
counts demanded by the few brok-
ers and merchants who would han
die it.
In almost every case the teachers
said their first salary checks would
go to pay the most pressing bills

FRANCE DOUBTS
WORLD CREDIT
BANKS VALUE
Republic Unlikely to Take
Part in Plan to Relieve
Problem in Germany.
BY RALPH HEINZEN
United Press stan Correspondent
fCOpvright. 1881. by United Pressi

ABOARD S. S. LIE DE FRANCE,
Oct. 30.-Members Of Premier Pierre
Lavals party expressed doubt to-
day that France would participate
in an international credit bank to
release frozen short-term credits IN
Germany.
The United Press learned that
Emile Francqui, Belgian financier
and minister of safe who sub
mitted the plan to President Hoover,
had not been invited to discuss
the plan with Laval and other
French officials in Paris.
Laval studied cabled reports of
the plan as it was understood to
have been proposed to President
Hoover. The premier made no COM
ment.
Utility Is Doubted
Charles Rist, honorary under
governor of the Bank of France and
well-known as an author and econ
onist, doubted the utility of the
plan. He did not believe France
would participate directly in it.
He maintained that creditor for
eign banks might act directly to
draw draft bills countersigned by
the Reichsbank, which they could
market at regular discount rates of
the emission banks, without the
necessity of an intermediary bank.
Rist was surprised at reports that
several American bankers were said
to believe that the Bank of France
desired a slump in the dollar.
Pressure RumOr Denied
Contrarily, Rist said, the sugges-
ton of the Bank of France that the
Federal Reserve bank raise its dis
count rate was prompted by the fact
that too much gold was being taken
out Of the United States.
Rist added that the low rate of
The Bank Of England had obliged
the United States and France to
maintain low discount rates, but
the necessity was removed when
England went off the gold standard
France, therefore, believed the time
opportune for discount rates to be
raised.
Rist insisted no pressure was
brought upon the Federal Reserve
bank under the threat of withdrawal
OF French gold as was rumored in
the United States.
