Your Schools
Need Your
Vote Tuesday
(Editorial)

There have been few in
stances in the history of pub
lie education in Washington
when there has been a crisis
as great as that faced by Ia
coma schools today.
No matter what lies in the
background; no matter who
or what is 10 blame. the fact
is that Tacoma faces a dan
gerous curtailment in facili-
ties for public education.
The threat is not only 10
education itself, but a physi-
cal investment of several mil
lion dollars is menaced by
forced reduction of mainten-
ance.
For more than a year key
employees have been leaving
the school system because
wages paid did not keep up
with increasing costs of liv-
ing, and opportunity for bet
ter income was offered in in
dustries.
Key members of the educa-
ton and administrative stats
have been taken by Army
and Navy.
The school board does not
have the money to fill those
places, in competition with
higher wages offered by war
industries and the continued
appeal made on the basis Of
patriotism.
To meet this situation Ia
coma schools need a favorable
vote on the proposal for a
five-mill special levy for
maintenance and operation.
This will be the last and 10
the extreme right of a num-
Der Of proposals YOU viii see

Smyrna times. [volume] (Smyrna, Del.) 1854-1987, 1942-07-09

The following letter was received
by us from the local Legion re-:
last weeks column:
July 5, 1912
To the Editor of
what Not Shelf"
Your column in the Smyrna
Times edition of July End was most
interesting, and three items under
Have You Noticed" were especial
ly timely and worthy of being an
swered. Permit us, therefore, to
express our viewpoints on those
three items.
Item 1 = "That Smyrna people
are STILL too complacent about
this War;" Your observation is ex-
ceedingly keen, and yet, we of the
last World War regretfully recol-
lect that the same situation exist
ed at that time. Our Boys in Ser
vice should be told this, as it may
bolster their spirits, for it seems
that the majority of citizens every
where, who are not and never were
in armed service, cannot even re-
motely visualize what War means
excepting as it affects their pocket
books and causes trivial inconven-
fences. This should not be so, but,
humans apparently never change
until they actually suffer or mar
rowly escape mental and physical
agony.
Item 2-"That if people here
spent as much time doing war
work as they do complaining about
trivial local issues, this town would
be on the map for war work eff
ficiency." How true, and yet, we
do believe that those among us of
serious thought, who are active in
one or more worthy wartime ac-
tivities, would do well by Our Boys
in Service to respectfully ignore
trivialities, petty jealousies, polit-
ical aspirers, self-seekers, and Cos
sip mongers. We have work to do.
1t must be done, and it will be done,
but, we cannot waste time listening
to those who shirk their duty with
ridiculous excuses, which only too
often are tied up with selfishness
and pleasure.
Item 3-"That no Fourth of July
celebration was planned by any
