SCHOOL, Mr. Nelson said that previously
the school district has been loaning
books to the pupils without charge.
Many of the books, he said, have be-
come decidedly worn and delapidated,
making entire sets practically useless
because of broken binding and missing
pages, and with the increase in size Of
classes and great decrease in budget
allotment for this particular item, it
now is impossible to make the neces-
sary additions and requirements with
out this rental fee.
1.-THE plan first considered by the
school board" said Mr.. Nelson, was
to insist upon pupils purchasing, in
dividually, complete set of books
needed in his grade, the school dis
trict selling at reduced prices those
disable books now on hand. However,
under this plan the estimated cost
per pupil would range from $500 in
grade school to $500 and $500 in high
school with only possibility of resell
value next year. Many school districts
over the state are insisting that pupils
furnish their own books, and are free
ing themselves of the responsibility of
handling books for sale.
Keeping in mind that many Of the
books on hand are still in disable con-
dition, the board finally accepted the
superior plan of continuing to furnish
all books for the pupils, but charging
small rental fee until this item can
again be provided for sufficiently in
the budget.
"This fee must be paid by all pupils
on the first day when books are is
sued, as the money will be sent i'm
mediately as the payment for books
that were necessary to be had for the
opening of school,"
Mr.. Nelson says that it is desirable
that every student now living in the
White Bluffs community, who plans to
attend school this year, be present for
the first day. This enables teachers
to estimate supplies and books needed

SCIENTISTS DEVELOP
SHATTERPROOF GRAPES

Shatterproofing' grapes is one OF
the latest accomplishments of scien-
lists of the United States Department
of Agriculture and one which may save
grape growers of the United States
thousands of dollars annually.
Shippers lose large sums yearly from
grapes which "shatter" or break from
the stem, in transit. DR.. Charles
Brooks of the depar 5ment has discov-
cred in laboratory experiments that
subjecting the grapes to carbon di-
oxide gas before they are placed in
the refrigerator car prevents much of
this shattering. He has applied for a

for their class work and to make pro-
visions for enough seats. Glasses have
become so large, he said, that often
a late-comer is handicapped both be-
cause he has miss instruction and be-
cause he has no books, or seat in which
to begin work. Where it is absolutely
necessary for high school boys to as
sist in work at home during the fruit
season, provision can be made so that
they will not lose their standing in
their studies, and Mr.. Nelson requests
that these boys attend the first day
and if they are to work the following
day or days, that they bring a note
from their parents explaining the stu
alton and expressing a desire for the
boy to stay away, so that assignments
can be given and the boys will not be
a burden later on with their make
up work.
"It should be definitely understood
by both parents and pupils" said Mr..
Nelson, "that sickness is the only leg
itimate excuse accepted by the state
for absence from school, Teachers may
give special permission on other oc-
casions but this permission must be
obtained before the absence occurs,
This rule applies to any pupil in grade
or high school and if the absence is
taken without permission, the school
has the authority to have the pupil
make up the time or in some cases of
prolonged absence without due reason,
can suspend the child. 1t would be
greatly appreciated if parents would
write or personally phone before their
children are Intentionally absent.
Following any absence, parents are
required to personally sign state APP
proved excuse blank which is kept on
record during the year. These excuse
slips are often filled out by the pupil
but should not be signed by the parent
until the pupil has done so. The belief
that pupils may sign their parents
name or have an untitled blank signed
by the parent is against school poll
tics. The parents signature is vou-
cher for the pupils reason for absence"

public service patent which will make
the method free for anyone to use.
Carlot shipments of grapes in the
United States have averaged more than
$4,000 for the last ten years and de-
partment officials believe that general
use of the new method may save the
grape growers large sums of money
every year.

an editor about it.
Don't your readers ever get

Instead of being fragile
women are really tough. They
can endure a lot. They have

But men don't thrive under

A WOman's Country
Compare laughing, husky,
factory girl laborers with tired,
colorless, boy laborerS!
America is being run by
women - women in homes,
women in offices, women in
schools, women in factories.
Women even get along with
machines better than men do.
Machines do not destroy the
identities of women as they
destroy the Identities of men.
The modern American woman
is more virile than the modern
American man. If the country
is to be saved, the women must
save it.
That's Sherwood AnderSon'S
idea. I wonder if you agree
with it.
How about the women of
your acquaintance?
Do they boss their husbands? ,
Can they endure more than
their husbands?
How about the women in your
office? Are they more tired
by the end of the day than
the men, or less? Are they
still ready for excitement, while
the men are tagged?
How about YOURSELF?
If you're a woman, what do
you secretly think of men?
If you're a man, what do you
secretly think of women?
