Levy Proposal In
Vernita District Fails

~ d. y !. = 10y w. /. 81
An election to levy an additional
R-mill tax in the Vernita school
district for the coming year failed
Monday, when the patrons of the
district cast tie vote, IL to H.
On the measure.
The election was called when a
number of residents of the school
district asked the directors to con-
Slder the possibility of opening the
Uernita grade school instead of
sending the children to White
Bluffs, as has been done for the
past few years,
The extra millage would be nee
assary, the directors said, not only
ITO raise sufficient funds to pay the
expenses of a grade school in the
district, but also to pay the trans
nortation costs of the bus if it were
operated to bring only the high
school students to White Bluffs.
There are six or eight children
in the Vernita district who will
attend grade school next year.
Following the election, the diree-
Tors voted to continue sending the
students to the White Bluffs school
next year.

POLI'S

Today the Loew Poli Theater gives you convincing proof of the Motion Picture 1ndustry's current slogan, Motion Pictures Are Your Best Entertainment, when a hilar- ious page from modern New York life is spotlighted in the newest en- trant in comedies, Metro Goldwyn- Mayors Three Loves Has Nancy" which opens a four day engagement at this popular tneater today
 Robert Montgomery is seen in one of the finest of his comedy charac- terizations, carrying off the part of flippant novelist with an ease born of experience. Janet Gaynor co-starred with Montgomery, is stunning in series of new gowns which are breath-taking in their modernty. Miss Gaynor, portraying glamorous role once again, as in "A Star Is Born, her triumphant comeback picture, is once more the assured actress possessing the ver- satility that has made her famous.
 Director Richard Seitz has paced the action of the picture with an eye to taking full advantage of every situation and comedy characterize tion.
 The supporting cast is one of the finest yet assembled for a comedy. Franchot Tone is ideally cast as bibulous publisher, and this role, to which he gives his best, proves one of the scintillating spots of the film.
 Included in an exceptionally bril- liant and capable supporting cast are Reginald Owen as a naughty butler, Guy Kibbee, Charley Grape win, Claire Dodd, Cora Wither- spoon, Grady Sutton, and Emma Dunn.
 The story is that of a flippant novelist who gets in difficulties with a Broadway actress. Faced with the possibility of having to marry the girl, he persuades his publisher to send him on a lecture tour of the South. There he meets a small town girl, casually invites her to seek his help if she ever gets in trouble in New York and forgets all about her, only to find her waiting at the penthouse apartment he shares with his friend, the pub- fisher upon his return. Ensuing complications provide some of the merriest and fastest comedy seen this season. This is one of the $250,000 Movie Quiz Films. Don't miss it if you are competing for one of the cash prizes.
 On the same program you will witness the adventures of Americas latest laugh provokers, "The Hig- gins Family" with James, Lucille and Russell Gleason.

 Now to continue the compari- son. At school the teacher is en- gagged in general work. She has a very definite grade program to cover. Class recitations and study take up most of her time. The pupil, too, is constructed, more or less, and his experience is limited, He is different creature from the free little boy on the front porch, in the living room or dining room. Different from the lusty fellow on the lot or playing in someone's y,uu.
 The true Johnny comes out in his free time, not in his school time, with few exceptions. Which makes it a harder problem for you, mother, because you are dealing with liberty and the teacher is not thus handicapped. She may feel that she is, having standards of discipline to reach that you need not worry about so much; but if she were not helped by rules, of which each child is
