if building is possible.

these are young married teachers
who are willing to return to the pro-

Treasures Bonds.
Our good natured county auditor
informs us that one of the new laws

school district treasurer's bonds must
be filed at the county auditors office.
State aids and other funds now on
hand at the auditors office cannot be
sent to the school treasurers until
this is done.

"He said that the contract

gram designed to boost bomber
production until 100 of the four

the government. will produce
parts of the planes while plane
companies on both coasts VIII
make other parts.
While plane production in this
country reached an all-time high
of 1.O36 during January, Defense
Director William s. Knudsen in
dicated at a press conference that
most of the planes were tram
ing ships and other defense
sources said they included very

pared with 799 during December.
