system is functioning with eight
less teachers than a year ago,
but emphasized that all teachers
on the payroll last year have
again signed contracts with the
exception of those who have re-
signed or have been inducted in
to military service. The cut was
possible because of a number of
changes where grades were COM
bined and other shifts made, he
concluded.
The designations Of Paul Nor
man, Central high school physi-
cal director, and Willis White
head, industrial arts teacher,
were accepted. Norman has taken
a teaching position at Witten-
burg college and Whitehead at
Massachusetts, State college. New

A permanent home was made
possible when the will of Mrs.
Anna Seward, wife of the late
Judge c.. w. Seward, left to the
YWCA the old Seward home in
Sc North Second street, COM
plete with furnishings and $500
for remodeling purposes.
Newark has been handicapped
for many years for lack of a
strong Young Women's Chris
tian Association, Mrs. Burton
said this week. The last perm
anent quarters in Newark in
1867 were in the present To-
cation of the Salvation Army.
Officers of the association are
Mrs. Burton, president; Mrs. H.
G. Wallace, vice president; Mrs.
V. A. Snowman, treasurer and
Mrs. T. H. Lomas, secretary.
They have been meeting the last
four or five years in the homes
of active executive board men,
bers. There are many associ-
ate members whose contribution
is $1.00 per year. The organi-
zation needs more of these and
all the financial help possible,
Mrs. Burton revealed.
The Seward will required that
a board of three members be ap
pointed from the Second Pres
byterian church to work in con-
junction with the executive board
of the YWCA in remodeling and
furnishing as we'll as operating
the home. Those named were
Rev. Harold Wonder, pastor of
the church; A. B. Jones and j.
A. Wintermute.
On the property is 15-room
house, now in process of remod-
cling. 1t will contain a library,
club room, recreation rooms, and
space to hold classes in handi-
craft. Mrs. Gwen Kellar has
been named House Mother.
On the back of the lot is an
other home with eight rooms.
This will also be remodeled and
when the entire project is COM
pleted there will be sleeping
quarters for twenty girls.
Space will also be given to
the Girl Reserves, a junior group
of the YWCA, where social ac-
tivities can be enjoyed.
The local YWCA has been
working through the Springfield
association which is headquarters
for this district comprising towns

living portraits of famous men
in history appeared before the
vast throng. An announcer mar

which the subject lived. The

over 100 park employees who
have been raising whiskers for
the past months in preparation
for the grand finale.

Tenure Law Makes New
Contracts Necessary

1t was revealed by Superinten-
dent Paul B. Edwards at the
regular meeting Of the board Of
education Tuesday night that
school enrolment was $50 less
on opening day than a year ago.
However, said Edwards, it will
be the latter part of the week
before complete figures are avail
able.
1t was explained at the meet
ing that the new teachers tenure
law must be put into effect as
quickly as possible. In this re-
gard City Solicitor Charles 4.
Holtsberry submitted a resoiu-
tion which was adopted by the
board, legalizing the present con-
tracts until new ones can be
drawn up and properly signed.
The new law will affect, many
Newark teachers, and give them
status comparable to civil ser
vice.

One More Step

Recent passage Of the
u mill levy for the pur-
pose of raising funds for
continued operation of the
Licking County Tubercu-
losis Sanatorium, proves
that the great majority OF
the voters in this commun-
ity fully realize the import
ance of aiding in the slow
but successful fight against
this dread disease.
Thirty years ago tuber-
culosis was the first cause
of human death. Today, in
the United States, it ranks
eighth. The last decade
1alone has seen a decline of
31per cent in the mortality
rate of this once most
dreaded disease of all man.
kind. Thousands of men,
women, and children are
brimming with life, who
would otherwise be but
tear-choked memories. You
or l might be among those
thousands. The arm of tu-
berculosis prevention, as
'~'Kell as cure, is long.
However spectacular the
gains seem to have been, it
would be wrong to take vic
tory for granted. Tuber-
culosis is still one Of the ma
jor causes of death, especi-
ally in the younger age
groups. It is no respector
of social or economic bar
riers - tuberculosis strikes
all. Medical men carry on
the fight and the tremend-
Gus gains should demon
strate conclusively to the
saverage layman the ability
of the medical profession to
continue the battle success
fully.
Again we say that the
voters of Licking county
realize the Importance Of
carrying on the fight at
home, and we hope will con-
tinue to support such a hui
Jnanitarian healing institu-
tion as the Licking County
tuberculosis Sanatorium.

World Fair sightseeing buses made
their appearance last Saturday on
the Riverside-Camp Ham bus
lines. This ought to help relieve
the congestion on weekends and
the old buses can be replaced.
After noon mess one day last
week Jess Clough and Merle Har-
din were laying on their hunks fac
ing each other apparently relaxing
after their noon repast. Francis
Mooney walked in with an edition
Of the Sank Centre Herald and be-
gan reading the news Of 20 years
ago without informing anyone that
he was doing so. He would read
a few lines and stop and Jess Just
stared ahead but finally after a
couple Of mintes Of silence he and
Merle would discuss the news and
they were really surprised at what
changes had taken place since they
left for California. For the better
part Of an hour this kept UP and
it kept getting better all the time
as they went so far as to argue
on some of the news. One could
hardly refrain from laughing know
ing all the time Of the old news
but it was very funny. They found
out about it and from that time
on they both do their own reading
and won't take anyone's word for
the news.

fathers who had rookie sons in the

The area Just west Of our regi-
ment Is undergoing construction
for some new troops which are
scheduled to move in sometime in
the near future and therefore the
ground is all torn up to make way
for construction. Last Monday a
strong wind came up and raised
lot of dust and for while
there was so much dust that it re-
minded me of the dust storms back
in Minnesota a few years back. At
times ones vision was limited only
to a couple Of feet and traffic had
to be tied up in camp. Back in the
tents everyone's clothing was COW
cred with about an inch Of dust
and therefore that evening was
spent digging OUT.
Last Friday Bob Carlson, Stanley
Burt and Allie Berg worked late
into the night setting up couple
Of poles. They were hard at work
and they didn't stop until they had
them both up and firmly planted.
I was informed that on Saturday
the boys would start playing volley-
ball and they were right for now

About an hour later the Chaplain
strolled in and noticed the quota
ton. Upon looking about the room
he seen that everyne had followed
Jim's example and had a remark
something to the same effect on
their machines. He asked Jim If
that was standard equipment on
all machines and If I have ever
seen someone's face turn red that
was the time.
A selectee's girl friend wrote to

he was glad he went so If he en-

name Of Captain Juan Bautista de-
ANA led his band Of men from
Mexico northward breaking a trail
from old Mexico to its northern
most district. He crossed what is
now known as the city Of River
side and in honor of deAnza a
celebration is held annually in the
city Of Riverside. This celebration
resembles Minnesoat's Paul Bun
yam Days in one respect, that is,
there Is quite a bit Of facial foil
age in sight around town as every
man grows a beard for this event.
All throughout the day there were
various programs and beautiful
senoritas, gay Mexican caballeros
and dashing California dons roam
ed all about the town dressed in
the gaudy bright clothing Of old
Mexico. On Friday afternoon the
De ANA Trail caballeros who had
spent six days on the original
160-mile trail from the Mexican
border to Riverside were welcomed
by thousands of cheering people
who lined the streets. Every night
from 8 to II there was a gay
fiesta Dance held in the street
with an orchestra Of true Mexican
furnishing the music. The real
highlight of the festival was on
Saturday afternoon when they
held huge parade. The peculiar
thing about this parade was that
no power-driven vehicle was al
lowed to take part and therefore
the whole Of Southern California
was secured so as to secure every
ancient wagon available for the
event. Scattered throughout the
parade were many classy march
ing units and flashy drum corps.
There was a saddled pig being
ridden by a little boy not more
than five years old, also there
were the old stage coaches of the
early California pioneer days the
Riverside Fire Department had a
pageant Of steady development OF
it's department from the old time
hand pumps up until the present
day equipment, and also included
in the parade was an old 1885
hearse. There were hundreds OF
sleek, beautiful horses with saddles
of silver and jewels upon their
backs being ridden by Mexicans
The streets were lined with thou
sands upon thousands Of people
from all over California. A great
share of the Camp Ham and March
Field personnel were represented
as were soldiers from all over the
southern part of the state. The
festivities were ended with a Co.'S
