Woods Combed
For Missing Girl

UNITY, N. H., March 9. CUP.
An all-day search of East Unity
woods by a sheriff's posse and
CCC workers today had failed to
reveal any trace of three-year;old
Shirley Brooks, who vanished
from her home Saturday AFTER

Authorities discounted theory
that the local girl might have met
a fate similar to that Of four..year-
old Beverly Page, whose bizarre
murder is under investigation az

They expressed belief that Shlr-

Fits Is Directing
Search For Men
Who Injured Him

LOS ANGELES, Mar. Q. (UP).
Propped up in hospital bed, Dis
tr;ct ATTORNEY Buron Fits today
directed search for men who tried
10 assassinate him. He thinks they
were radicals. -,
The search is following four
lines. First. that the assault was
tbe result of labor troubles; sec
ond that it was the work of an
ex-convict whom he prosecuted;
third, underworld enemies har.
rassed by his vice crusades; and
fourth, the work of cranks.
Fits said he did not believe the
men were professional killers be-
cause of their faulty aim and the
fact that they used pistols instead
of machine guns. ,- %.

Students Warned About Conduct

Before the assembly, Friday, Mr..
Hayes. school principal, warned the
students about their conduct in the
halls and in the class rooms.
For several weeks the students have
been abusing their privileges more and
more. without being called down by
the faculty. Now it has become neces-
sary to place rules and regulations on
conduct before them. A few Of the
rules are:
|. No pupil shall be permitted to con-
gregate in the halls for social or other
purposes.
2. A person wishing to speak in the
assembly must first receive permission
from the teacher in charge.
B. The magazines and newspapers
must be left at the reading table.
4. All BIO tipping students who are
excused at 2:45 must leave the build
ing. If they wish to remain they must
stay in the assembly.
S. All students must report to the
assembly at dismissal time. Any per-
son who does not do so will be con-
sidered absent
6. Any. person who leaves the as
sembly during a study period, after
$3.50, or at 12:45, must sign out.

Blackbird Arrives Two DAYS Late

E. AZ Rice phoned to the Western
News office Tuesday morning from his
ranch south Of town. that the redwing
blackbird that has been spending the
summer on the ranch for the last sew
eral years arrived that morning from
his winters sojoum in the southland.
Mr. Rice said the bird was two days
late in its annual appearance, and fig
ures that it stopped few days in the
McGinnis Meadows district, one having
been reported there last week The
peculiar thing about this blackbird and
its habits is that for several years il has
been returning to the Rice ranch each
spring on almost the same date-on or
about February g. The bird evidently
loitered on the way on his travels
northward this year.

that amount, This year, however, it
recovered that loss when it made a

What do YOU go to school for
This is the question that was asked the
psychology class. and it seems a diff
iicult one TO answer.
Ore never starts school with any
objective. he goes because he is forced
to do so under a state law and by his
own parents: another reason may be
the natural desire for companship, and
the novelty of school, After the years
have rolled by, this delight in school
and the novelty in routine work may
still live in great number of us, but in
others it has died out and school has
become only drudge and a course Of
civilization A few of us may have
failed; others last only until they have
acquired the minimum amount of edu-
cation. After eight years of basic work
most of us still have no thought Of
what we intend to do or be after we
leave school for good.
Not until we are in the upper grades
of high school do we realize we have
spent a decade in learning and still
have nothing by which we may earn a
livelihood : except natures gift, our
physical strength.
But the twelve years of elementary
training are not in the least in vain
At graduation one is given his choice
Of two roads: the crowded road of COM
mon labor and the comparatively de-
serted road of higher education On
the former a person. even though he
may have tire abilities of leader, has
lacked the initiative to follow his
dreams Of a future and has taken the
path Of least resistance. This, how
ever. is nothing dishonorable; a vast
majority of the people must be salts
fled with an elementary education
should higher education be profitable
On the latter road. even though 1t re-
quires perseverance and effort, the
fields of endeavor are wider and more
numerous, giving one an opportunity 10
do the things one enjoys and IS capable
of doing.
So it seems that elementary schools
have a. their primary purpose, TO cIas-
SHY person and give him an OPP
portunity to begin life in the right d.
rection and on the right foot. Il may
take eighteen years, but "a thing well
begun IS half done
