PINE COUNTY RURAL
SCHOOL NEWS
Denham District No. 10.
A. E. GusrArsoN. County supt.

Denham DtStr1Ct No. ~.
Mrs. Florence Torvick Brandt, who
has been substituting at Denham
upper room), since Joe Kub enlisted
in the army, may leave us soon to join
Mr.. Brandt who has secured perma-
nent defense work at the Duluth
shipyards. An experienced two-year
graduate will be found to take her
place, if she leaves, so that the Den
ham school will remain on the ac-
credited list. We have qualified
Pine county (retired) teacher in view.
Saturday Sessions.
The attorney-general has rendered
an opinion that it is illegal in Min
nesota to teach school on Saturday.
A movement was started somewhere
in this state to shorten the school
term by teaching on Saturday. This
cannot be done.
Teachers Salary Schedule.
There is distinct shortage of quail
fed teachers. Pine county rural
schools were able to open and keep
open according to schedule this year
Unless some of the smaller schools
close and are transported next year,
we may face more serious problems
in finding teachers. Other counties
have already experienced this.
Many of our present teachers now
indicate that they are forced to make
other plans for next year because of
low salaries and higher living costs
Last year we lost over 40 per cent
of our teachers. The usual annual
loss is about 80 per cent.
Many board members and teachers
have asked us to make suggested
teacher salary schedule for next year.
We are working out such a schedule
based on statewide and countrywide
information we have at hand. This
will be sent to clerks and teachers
soon. We hope that it will be a
guide and that it will help to hold
our teachers for the ensuing year
1942-1943.
Great People.
Small people talk only about per-
sons, big people talk more of places
and things, but great people spend
most of their time developing ideas
and ideals" Help your teacher to
develop the best ideals among her
children. "If you wish to avoid
criticism, be nothing, do nothing and
good that they are good for nothing.
"Be not merely something good but
be also good for something"

Tax Expenditures in Con-
 uecticut Mount to SOFT; } One-Cent Gain

Tax expenditures for public health an Connecticut towns, cities and boroughs averaged SOFT per capita in 1941 as compared with $0.76 in 194O, according to Henry R. O'Brien. M. D, Chief Division of Local Health Administration, in an article published in the Monthly Bulletin of the State Department of Health.
 The American Public Health As- sociation estimates that effective of fcial and non-oficial local health work, exclusive of hospital ation, would cost about $200 per capita. Tn reporting the annual costs out of local tax funds for this protec- ton which ranged between $0.02 to $2O0 per capita in 1941, Doctor O'Brien explained that costs alone do not give a clear indication of the adequacy of any community IS health program.
 Within certain limits. however. both public and personal health arg purchasable. Dividends from a con- 'muniay'S expenditures for prIOlic healtA accrue in the shape of bet ter health and longer life for its citizens.
 Figures taken from ofhcM1 re- ports and personal communications show the following average per cap 1ta public health costs in 1941 &C., cording to population groups; 31 towny under 1000 population. $O.73; S2 towns 1.0O0-2,50O. $O!65; 26 towns 2,5O0-5, 900, $053; 39 towns 5000 10000, $O.45; Is toVnS 20,0O0- 50 ,0O0 30.72; 6 cities 50,0CO and over, $1O2 Per capita costs were based on tax expenditures for salaries, fees anc expenses of health officers. for syph. lis and gonorEhea control. tubercu' loSis case finding. school physicians and nurses, public health nurses sanitary inspectors. local meat in. spectors, for dental hygiene activ. lties and appropriations to visiting nurse associations.

STRAND

Film detective fans, who pride themselves on solving screen myS- teries before the cinema detective, will have one of the toughest jobs of their career when they see "The Lady In The Morgue", another one of the famous Universal Crime Club mysteries now showing at the Strand theater.
 The audience is completely left n doubt until the end about the iden- tity of the real killer. inasmuch as the plot has been woven so care- fully as to practically defy solution of the mystery in advance. In addi. ton to the clever plot nanipula ation "The Lady In The Morgue" is pack ed to the hilt with vivid situations fast action and Sardonic humor.
 Preston Foster heads the cast as "Bill Crane. private investigator who always gets his man, but who likes to bedeyil the official police Beautiful Patricia Ellis has the role of the mysterious brunette, about whom much of the mystery centers Others important in the cast arr Joseph Downing, Al Hill, James Robbins, Stanley Price, Gordor Hart, Roland Ores, Byron Foulger Minerva Urecal and Gordon Elliott
 Also on the same program is ''Tl1e Black Doll" another Crime Clut mystery, which features Donalo Woods. Nan Grey. Edger Kennedy and other top flight players. 'AThe Black Doll' tells the story of Mel son Rood. interruptions mine owner who has murdered one of his part ners. When "The Black Doll" 6 crude child's toy, appears on his library desk, he knows it is sym bol of approaching doom and he lays his plans sac2rdingly. However fate strikes him down, and from then on the complications come thick and fast.
 c. Henry Gordon, veteran screer william, is featured as Rood, SyC Saylor, John Wray, Doris Lloyd anc William Lundigan play important roles in this film.

POLI'S

Now current at the Lowe -Poi the ater and continuing until Tuesday evening, one of the greatest films that the mortal eyes of Waterbur- ians have ever seen is on tap, "Tales of Manhattan" with the greatest cast of stars that has ever been seen in a picture, headed by Charles Boyer, Ginger Rogers. Charles Laughton, Rita Hayworth, Edward G. Robinson and other great stars, all combined in film that has everything and is different from anything that you have ever seen before in any theater, anywhere.
 ''Tales of Manhattan" will give you all the thrills possible in sus- pense and comedy, you will be spell bound in your seat at one moment by the dramatic adventures of the top flight stars and the next mo- ment you will be convulsed with laughter at Paul Robeson, Ethel Waters and Rochester" It is a cinema achievement of rare dis tinction, it has enough stars, thrills and suspense and laughter for 10 pictures. Truly fabulous entertain ment and a picture that will make it tough for other films to follow, In some films there are a lot of stars who simply walk on the screen, turn around and then walk of again but in this film they will all have to work and do not have a picnic of it.
 On the same program there will be the sensational United States Government Offlcial film, "The World At War" and here is a docu- mentary film released by the War Information Board, 1t is made up of
The Waterbury Democrat., 1942-10-10

official war films of this government and films that have been captured in countries tn tahave been over run by the enemy, and the films that have been taken there were never meant for the eyes of the civilian population of this or any of the United Nations citizens. It is a film that all have to see, some thing that calls spade spade and one that is not a Hollywood production, but down to the earth facts that will leave you limp with conditions as they are and here you will see the whole truth.
 Make plans to see this gigantic double feature show before Tuesday night when it finishes its local run.
 Wednesday and Thursday of next week will bring to the stage of the Loew-Poli theater the greatest stage show of the season headed by Sam Donahue and his band, direct from the Glen Island Casino, as the ex- tra added attraction there will be the Deep River Boys, N. B. c. stage, screen and Bluebird recording stars and other great acts.

 Starring Gary Cooper in the role of the celebrated ballplayer, the picture presents the inspiring real- life story of janitor's son who be- came one of the most famous sports figures in modern annals.
 His romance with the loyal Flea nor, his scores of record breaking achievements that made him literally the idol of millions of American youngsters, his brave but hopeless night against paralysis, all furnish the absorbing drama of the films subsequent scenes. Fitttngly enough these end with the high point of his whole professional career when, on Lou Gehrig Day."
