payments to the state for the educa-
ton of high school pupils committed
from the respective counties"
The recommendations concerning
the work program were "That, in or
der to give more adequate and useful
training, the vocational program be

the less useful activities either be

chanical and building trades be
taught in the course of maintenance
work around the school; and that the
state employment service be regular
ly consulted as means of migrating
the vocational training program with
existing employment opportunities"

sociates about conditions at the girls

Liquor Monopoly Lauded
Words of praise for the conduct of
he state liquor monopoly were con-
aimed in the report of the surveying
company, received by the state COM
nittee when it began it's sessions on
Monday. Some changes which might
% termed drastic, insofar as the deal
II arrangements were concerned, were
made, however.
Experiments were suggested in SELL
ng the liquor at fixed prices to the
managers of the state stores, and they
would then in turn operate the stores
N the profits made. However, the
tate would still control the prices
o be charged in the state stores. In
tead of the manager being paid a
commission on the total sales, the
took would be sold to him at dis
cunts. 1t was suggested that this
PROCEDURE would eliminate consider

1. That, to effect better control,
consideration be given to limiting the
umber of (retail) licenses that may
e issued in any community in rela-

2. That, to speed up transactions

lay on board a complete list of all

AXE out his own sales slip.
8. That, to reduce expenses, an eff

ossible reduction in the number of
spectors on the payroll of the board.
