graceful piece of New Deal propa-

ancestry Of Mr.. Willkie, his wife and
both their families.

too late to be convincing. 1t Is

Governor Bficker to pay. Because of this deficit,
Daveg failed to meet the school foundation payments,
and local boards Of education forced to borrow
money to keep the schools open. Interest had to be
paid on this money
Davey severely censured for this failure by the
Ohio Education Association which made the following
statement This interest paid by boards Of education
