Nursery School.

The Thursday Study club will
sponsor a nursery school scheduled
to begin Monday, September IA. This
will be an experiment to see how a
nursery school would work in Askov
Other towns have successful schools
in operation.
The school will be held in the Y
p. S. assembly hall from 9 a. m! to
11:30 a. m. Mondays through Fri
days and will continue for three
weeks. Members of the Study club
will supply the teaching staff.
All parents with children aged
four and five are urged to let their
youngsters attend. There will be nc

together besides giving them few
classes in such things as stories,
poetry, art, nature, health, singing
and games.

Doolittle and his gallant band of
airmen who bombed Tokio-the
story as it was told today by a
war department spokesman.
1t is one of the most heroic
epics of this or any other war;
a story to make American Hearts
beat quicker--and a story that
cries out that those of them who
fell into japanese hands be
avenged.
1t was, the war department
spokesman said, a perfect raid
which became unhinged only after
it had achieved its objective
and then only because of the one
factor that could not be predicted
