provide the building with the
proper proportion: and when this
Is accomplished, the structure will
then have the appearance of a
finished building.
The roof is of heavy gauged
copper and was installed to pro-
vide the maximum amount of con-
traction and expansion. 1t carries
a bonded guarantee.
The entrance way to the build
ing is forty feet in width with
hanging ceiling lights of castle de-
sign and massive concrete COZ
Umns. At the intersection of the
two wings is provided a fam
shaped concrete base which is an
extension Of the concrete walk. On
this was erected the flag pole. 1t
NAV be seen from the entrance
way of each class room and ex-
tends high enough to be seen from
The street and highway. At the end
Cf each wing a walk that extends
he full length of the porch inter-
sects the street. Along each side
cf the building have been installed
rev concrete walks.
The building has been painted
with an oil base paint inside and
out. The color of the class rooms
is a shade lighter than sea foam
green and is provided with an
enamel dato which will eliminate
dirty walls. Our trim work, chalk
troughs. window sashes and lentels
are all steel. The building is as
near fire proof as is possible to
construct. All room open on to
the playground, and all door open
ings are protected with a ten-foot
porch extending the full length OF
the building. Engineers who have
looked over the building have pro-
nounced it the most modern struc-
ture in the state.
SIDEWALKS
The older school building which
provides ten class rooms, an audi
torium. cafteria and offices has
had an entire system of sidewalks
constructed around that building
by the WPA. This was done be-
cause of the difficulties incurred
during days of irrigation and wet
weather Altogether about seven
thousand square feet of sidewalk
were laid around this building. IT
will provide material saving to the

Not even the present serious
situation which exists in regard to
American national defense deters
or slows down the New Deals
Socialistic fifth column. Indeed,
nothing deters these New Deal
radicals; nothing occurs which
they do not attempt to turn to
their advantage.
No sooner had it become ap-
parent that the New Deal had woe
fully neglected American national
defense than the Socialistic plan
ners in the New Deal undertook to
use this situation to further their
seven-year-old plan of subjecting
more and more of private property
and enterprise to Government
ownership and operation.
Wrapping their nefarious scheme
in the robes of patriotism, the
New Deal planners moved to drive
the biggest nail yet hammered in
to American private enterprise. AS
;he President pointed out that our
national defense needs would cost
billions of dollars in the next year
or two, his red-tinged aides point
ed out that this would necessitate
considerable plant expansion in
the fields Of machine tools, avia-
ton and armor plate manufacture.

LANDScAPING
In addition 10 the construction
of the new school plant and the
installation Of sidewalks around
the old building, a ground improve
ment project was set up for the
new school grounds. This includ-
I'd septic tank twenty-four feet
III length, fourteen feet in depth
and eight feet in width, and a
large cess pool eight feet in dia-
meter. The school also purchased
and WPA has installed chain
link cyclone fence around the en-
tire play ground of the new
building. This was installed as
safety factor, since the primary
children will be housed in the new
building.
The ground was leveled and
bermuda sod is being hauled from
the irrigation bitches and trans
planted on the entire playground
and in front and sides of the
building.
SHRUBBERY PLANTING
Along the south side of the play
grounds was planted Rudis eucaly
plus trees. On the north side was
planted male mulberry. On the
eastern end of the grounds was
planted Arizona cypress. Back of
the building and entrance was
planted two silk oaks. Along the
walls between the windows was
planted Cassia, Contoneaster and
Italian cypress. Beneath the win
dows ledges was planted dwarf
myrtle and other dwarf shrubbery
that will. not grow higher than
window ledge.
Along the walls at the end of
each building was planted yellow
and pink shingle-blooming olean-
der.
The Primary equipment that has
been used at the older school
building will be moved to the
Fairgrounds and installed for the
Primary children. The first and
fourth grades inclusive will be
housed in the new school plant
when school opens September 8,
1910. The kindergarten will re-
main in the old building according
to Wesley d. Kirby, superinten-
dent.

Board are NJ. l.. Talla, president;

Abraham Lincoln made the party
