County Superintendent
State Aids VS.. Bad Roads.

The following are a few financial
or economic reasons pertaining to
schools that show why all respon-
sible factors and government units
should cooperate in every possible way
to keep the roads open and keep the
children in school:
There are over 500 school pupils
in Pine county enrolled in schools
Each pupil draws apportionment aid
for his or her school to the amount
of over four cents for each day in
school. Biased on average daily at
tendance.)
More than two-thirds of our Pine
county pupils live in districts draw
ing supplemental aid which may be
estimated to average about IL cents
per child per day. (Also based on
average daily attendance.)
About one-third of our pupils de-
pend on transportation. Most of our
school transportation is state aided
at the rate of about 16 cents per pupil
per day. Biased on eight cents per
child per mile one way.)
Practically all transported pupils
attend or affect schools drawing sup
Elemental aids.
Therefore, blocked transportation
for one day in Pine county would
cause a school aid loss due to non
attendance of transported pupils of
about $3.50 per day or over $4,000 per
week.
If roads were this bad, at least one
half of the other pupils, that are not
transported, would be unable to at
tend school. About one-third of these
reside in districts drawing supple
mental aid SO there would be an addi-
tional daily loss of about $170.
Therefore, school bus routes should
have the very first attention and con-
sideration when snow pillow service
is planned. Blocked transportation
of, school children will cause state
aid loss of over $500 per week in
Pine county.
In most counties, where snow pillow
service has been established for many
years, all responsible authorities CO
operate in opening all school bus
routes first of all, and for reasons
stated. This was true in Carlton
county years ago even before apppr-
tionment and supplemental aids were
based on average daily attendance.
School boards of our central schools
will find it interesting to note the
actual state aid losses to their high
school for each high school pupil that
drops out of school.
AS l explained in this column last
year, every IL nonresident high
school students will draw for the high
school about $1,000 in state aids. How
many drop out every year? How
many of these cases can be prevented?
How many high school students quit
school annually because of impossible
roads and blocked transportation serv-
ice. Snow tax is still one of our
heavy taxes in state aid losses alone.
Let us keep our school bus routes
open first of all. School boards have
no legal right to spend money on
roads, so this is a problem for town.

INTERNATIONAL
NEWS REVIEW
Continued from Page ~

Rumors flew thick that Germany
tren directed huge squadron of war
ships to Bilbao intent upon forcing
the release of the "Palos", but in Ber-
lin it was promptly stated that such
rumOrs were ridiculous and without
the slightest foundation.
Then came word too, that the Ger
man governmental spite of the ship
Incidents not thinking about send
ing regular troops to Spain. 1t may
be that individual German volunteers
would be permitted to fight in the
ranks of the Spanish fascists, but tie
German government as such was not
going to participate.
This was something new. And what
might be the reason? Possibly the
fact that the Italian government had
managed to convey to Berlin the dis
tinct impression that Mussolini, after
all, was not going to implicate him
self in the Spanish crisis. He may
have reasoned out what such an ac-
ton would cost-he may have thought,
quite especially, of the almost certain
loss of British and French friendship
without which he would not be able to
get along very easily in matters inter-
national.
Anyhow, as the year ended, it was
indicated that, as far as the immed-
late future is concerned, the danger
of a great-power war growing out of
the Spanish conflict, is not more i'm
minent than it has been right along
since the beginning of the troubles
in Spain.
Chinese Drama.
While the Occidental world had it's
incipient troubles, the Orient had its.
AS told last week, Chang Kai-shek,
military dictator of the China gov
eminent at Marking, had been kid
mapped and imprisoned by Chang
Hsueh-hang, war lord of the Shensi
province. Chang was disguised with
Chang because the Marking govern
ment, without actively protesting, wit
messed Japan's gradual swallowing up
of five north Chinese provinces, and
Chang wanted Chang to readmit the
communist party to the ranks of the
reigning Kuomintang Peoples
Party; Chang also implored Chang
to start war against Japan in order
to secure the restoration of Manchu-
kuo-formerly Manchuria-to China.
1t was at Sianfu that Chang kept
Chang, more or less comfortably, i'm
INJURED, and it was at that point that
negotiations for his release were in
progress. But nothing was known of
their details except-and that was a
mere rumor-that Chang wanted ran
som to the extent of rs million Amer
lean dollars. Then Madame Chang
Kai-shek took matters into her own
hands; she flew to Sianfu and had a
series of conferences with Chang
who, incidentally. is son of the MUIR
dered Chang Tso-lin, late war lord of
late Manchuria.
Chang Released.
The upshot of it was that Chang
released Chang who was sent back
to Marking by airplane. What the
terms of the release were has not been
disclosed, but is it understood that
Chang has undertaken, not to prose-
cute Chang for his obvious attempt
to rebel against the central govern
ment. And-that's the truly Chinese
part of it-Chang is reported to have
expressed to Chang his profound re-
grets that he acted the way he did;
he is said to have given every in
dication of being penitent, and stories
are afloat that he has pledged his

16, 1886, at the home of his son r.
win, in Hutchinson, Kansas. -
The deceased was born Februthy II,
1851, near Meyersdale, Pa, and was
aged IS years and 5 days. He was the

abeth Gnegy, who moved from their
early home in Pennsylvania to Brook
side, West Va, in 1852 and in 1856
they moved to Garrett county, occu-
plying what is now known as the old
Gnegy homestead at Gnegy Church.

coded him to the grave Is years ago.
Surviving are two sons, Franklin and
Irwin; also three brothers in Garrett
county-Joel, near Red House; John
S., of Oakland, and David, of Gnegy
Church.
