The Bruno Case.
At special meeting of the patrons,
pupils and taxpayers at Bruno not
long ago, the following points were
brought out:
Q) About IS per cent of the money
for operation of the school comes from
state aids. Valuations and farm in
comes have dropped so as to make
problems complicated.
(2) Unless general state aids, in
Guiding classification, transportation
and supplemental, are paid off at
least rs per cent or 80 per cent the
school budget will have to be reduced
in order to balance it.
60 Vocational courses for high
school students is the general trend
everywhere. The Federal aided
Smith-Hughes agricultural depart
ment at Bruno is practically self
supporting.
The meeting unanimously voted ap-
prOval of the school boards tentative
plan that will make it possible to
continue the well-liked Smith Hughes
agricultural work and also introduce
some commercial work at even re-
duction in the school budget This
is made possible by the hiring of
superintendent who is also a qualified
Smith-Hughes agriculture instructor,
The present agriculture teacher, Mr.
Lamberty, will have charge of the
new agricultural department at
Askov. The new plan for Bruno is
common in some states like Iowa,
and has the approval of the Min
nesota state agricultural supervisor.
1t is advisable and possible in
small high school system. The new
plan will combine two highly paid
positions and the net saving will
amount to over $500 annually, even
when an extra academic teacher is
hired.

Bundles for Britain Party at WaldOrf-AstOria Is
 Broken Up

New York, Nov. 8-(UP)-While 1 400 society leaders, diplomats and stage and screen celebrities danced in the grand ball room of the Wal dorf-Astoria hotel at Bundles for Britain" party early today, police quietly surrounded the block and searched the hotel in response to 6 phone call saying that the ball room Twill be blown up in a few minutes"
 Police officials and the hotel man. agement. faced with the choice of leaving the dancers in possible peril, or eyacuating the ball room and pos- sibly creating a panic that would im- pede the bomb search, chose the for mer. None of the dancers learned of the threat.
 The party was at its height when A man telephoned a police station near the hotel and gave the warning. The voice was described as "com- conplace, with no accent"
 Uniformed and plain clothes po- licemen swarmed to the hotel. Only plain clothes men entered the ball room, to avoid alarming the dancers. Meyer Davis orchestra was playing and Eddie Cantor was master of ceremonies. The ball room was hur- riedly but quietly searched, then the lobbies and hundreds of public and private rooms in that part of the building, while bomb squad experts stood by, patrol cars circled the block and all exits were guarded.
 The search continued long after the ball ended.

BY WILLIAM H. LAWRENCE United Press Staff Correspondent

New York, November 8. - (UP) - Wendell L. Willkie began work today on message to the more than 20,O00,000 persons who voted for him on the role he believes they should play in President Roosevelt's third term.
 He gave every indication that he would be as unusual as defeated presidential nominee as he was a candidate.
 He obtained 30 minutes on all three networks NEG, CBS and MES - at 10:30 D. m., Monday to tell the nation which would not elect him president, now he intends to continue a crusade" for govern mental policies which differ in many respects from those advanced by MT. Roosevelt, whom the voters gave another term.
 Willkie declined to reveal his per- sonal plans before he talks, and would not confirm reports that the Willkie clubs, headed by political amateurs" largely responsible for his nomination, and which, before Tues day had thousands of members, would be continued indefinitely as a personal political organization.
 Urged To Fight On
 Thousands of those who voted for Willkie, Have written to urge him to keep up the fight against the New Deal. Many of these letters were bitter. They appealed to Will kie to devise some means of trans lating the policies he advocates into action. More than 10000 letters were received in three mails yester- day morning, and the tenor of all of them seemed the same, Willkie said.
 Excerpts from this mail, selected at random by this correspondent with Willkies permission said:
 New York City Resident; What are we to do now? Must those of us who believe in your crusade just sit back and let nature (the ad- ministartion) take its course? The cry is for united country, and acquiesce to leadership whose judgment and intellectual integrity we distrust? Is thsre any way that the millions of your supporters can exert any influence? You aroused many of us out of our political

SCU(TLED SHIP
 REFUSES TO SINK
Derelict of Sea Has Been Menace for Many Years
 to Shipping

Sandy Hook, N. J., November B. (UP)-The Bluebird, reduced to derelict but refusing to die, lay an: chored near the Ambrose Channel today bobbing defiance to every passing ship.
 She had been scuttled once and had come up the wrong way, her wooden bottom facing the sky and menacing navigation. Today she had her own way, temporarily, while army engineers and tug cerws de- cided what to do next. They had left her to spend the night alone, surrounded by warning lights.
 The Bluebirdis, or was, a 2o-foot wooden schooner. Some think she might have been three-masted. Her history is shrouded in the mistS of time. When she last left port in tow bound for Davy Jones locker, her masts were gone and her deck was burned away.
 For a year or more, as long as anyone interested can remember she was aground at Newport Harbor N. J. One day she floated off on a high tide. Army harbor boats lowed her to an anchorage near old Orchard Shoal off Great Kills Staten Island. N. Y. Then the gov ernment hired E. M. Van Frank to dispose of her for $500.
 Down, But Up Again
 Last Monday Van Frank hired the Tug Dauntless, which took the >Bluebird in tow and put to sea The old schooner was loaded with ballast, plugs were kocked out ot her bottom to let the sea in, and she went down ignobly.
 The Dauntless was just getting under way again when the waves parted and the Bluebird's bottom emerged. The tug crew waited hope- fully but the Bluebird stayed up She evidently had turned over in descent, and dumped her ballast through the open deck space.
 The tug stood by all night. Tues day morning the Bluebird was still there. The tug took her in tow again, hauled her 20 miles to Sandy Hook Bay, notified van Frank that the Bluebird wouldn't 90 down, and went to other business.
 Nothing happened Wednesday, but Wednesday night the Bluebird tore loose from her anchorage in wind and put to sea. Still bottomside upr she hit straight for the main chan- mel. Thursday morning found her back on the path of her ancient, cargo-carrying glory. Somebody spotted her, still outward bound and notified the Coast Guard.
 The Coast Guard Cutter 1carus overlook her 16 miles southeast of Scotland Light and stood by as floating buoy to warn ships away. Then two army patrol boats took over and the Icarus left.
 Last night, the army boats mov- ed the Bluebird out of the channel, anchored her 1000 yards off buoy No. 10, set up lights and returned to their base. Van Frank thinks the Bluebird could be turned right side up if a tug tied on to one of the sides and pulled. Then the scuttl- ing could be started over again.

those who are doing garrison duty in occupied territory or behind the lines in Germany.
 Every soldier, no matter where he is stationed, gets two weeks vacation every six months. Here is how the average German soldier would probably spend his vacation week hence. He recided to go to Berlin and informs the sergeant major of his plans and gets his free roundtrip ticket and a leave permit for three weeks (the time spent on the train does not count as vacation). As the train stops at a big station. nurses of the Nation- al Socialist Women's Organization offer him refreshments and coffee, cakes and sandwiches.
 stop-overs en route to Berlin are permitted.
 When the soldier arrives in Ber- lin he first obtains his ration-card' If the ration ofilce is crowded, the
