water in places and don't know
where to go to. 1t seems like it
has slipped somebody's mind that
a roof should be made so the wat
er could run off of it. On one of
the plastered walls you can see
how the water has found its way
thru some leake and is now dis
coloring the plaster. Probably
some of this is what Supt.
Stegner meant when he said: Il
did not get everything the way l
wanted it."
Although these things are bad
enough they are only small items
compared with the fire danger OF
that building. The building is not
fire proof at all. Take a good look
at it and you will agree with me
that you never saw a worse fire
trap. What will happen if fire
should start in one of the long
halls? How are the children ever
going to get out Of the building?
Suppose a fire started when tho
gymnasium was crowded with
people, and no fire escape, no
other way out than thru that long
hall. / hate to think of what
would happen. Some think that
was the way Lou Helm felt too,
and that it was his reason for re-
signing as fire chief, 50 it could
be left for someone else to do the
condemning.
Compare our school building
with the one in Scobey. There is
mo comparison. They have beau
tiful fireproof building, an orna-
) ment to the town of which they
can be proud. We have something
that the best we can do with is TO
insure it good and plenty, then set
fire to it and collect the insurance,
so we would not have to look at
!. it the rest of our lives.
Nobody in Plentywood could
Y build such school house as we
were going to have. That's what
r the school board said. Architects
S inspectors and contractors had Il
: be imported from far away places
: and what we got is school build
o ing of which the whole town i
t making fun.
d The local working people got j
n in the neck. What little work i
It handed out to them is paid at ;
4. ridiculously low rate, and so IA
L below the estimate Of any con
g tractor, so there is no sense to il
m We got just what we could ex
L pect, and as long as it is Georg

er, we shall quote from it. "Al-
though l am a (Farmers) Union
member also, yet I am firmly con-
WINGED that it will be of equal
benefit and | might also say it is
becoming a very necessary duty
for the farmer to join and become
an active member of his local
county taxpayers association.
Here is one place where he can
learn a whole lot particularly
about the uselessness of taxpay-
ers associations-Ed.) as well as
to accomplish something of real
benefit to himelf and his neigh
bors. This has been a neglected
opportunity"
Syverud has to admit that, be-
cause of their political COM
plexes." the farmers of Sheridan
County have not rallied TO his tax
PAYERS association. The task OF
the taxpayers association, accord
ing to him, is to get the farmer,
the taxpayer, to take a hand and
have a voice in the spending (o1
taxes) as well as to pay" The
taxpayers league and the thirc
party or the rejuvenated with
monkey glands probably Other
capitalist parties, these are the
paths that Syverud and the Plen
tvwood Herald point to.
These are the paths of contlnu
ed oppression and brutality, thes'
are the paths of massive submits
sion. The path that the farmer
of Sheridan County have taken
that of organized action under tn
leadership of the United Farmer
League is the only action that WI
and can repel the attacks OF tn
exploiters and their agents.

AS far as adding any architec-
tural beauty to the City of Plen-
tywood, the new school building
is complete failure.
Taking a look at the concrete
slab, pancake-like and not very
artistically arranged, on top of
the two entrances is enough to
give one the jim-jams. An en-
trance is a place where most ar
chitects try to show a sample of
~ II creative ability. In this case

Ell did not enter anybody's mind
until after the building was up.
Then all at once somebody discov-
cred that the surrounding dirt was
several feet higher than the win
dows and the first good rain would
fill the basement with water.
A county outfit has been dig
ging away in the frozen ground
for ever so long in order to save
the building. In another year OF
so they will have the dirt down to
the level where it should be, pro-
viding Len Rue's pasture will be
big enough to hold the pile.
ALI this could have been pre-
vented by building the foundation
lup a couple of feet higher and the
building would have made som:
showing instead of putting it dow1
! in a hole where it is now. Blu
nobody ever thought of that.
Thru the length of the building
run two big Railways with rooms
only on one side. Building hall
