services will possibly be postponed
in Mississippi until October, accord
ing to Colonel L. w. Long, state
director of selective service, who
has just returned from Atlanta
where a conference was held in

ployer who is now employing a
registrant who was in Glass w. F

the local boards of his present oc-
cupation. He also advises the reg
istrant to inform the local board,

by Mr.. L. H. Wright, business
manager of the board of education.

pills of the Jackson public schools

dents in both cases.

rates are figured by dividing the
cost of education by the total en-
rolment and that the increase is
necessary to cope with the in
creasing costs of education.
1t is anticipated, and has been
SO budgeted, that $500 will be
realized from nonresident pupils

rising costs.
Nonresident pupils are defined

clay road had to be used by all

He argued further that the elimi-
nation of the il would mean furth-
er croWding of the J-3 buses, fore
ing an increased number of buses
on that line during morning and
afternoon rush hours. If the serv-
ice has to be supplemented, he
pointed out, no rubber would be
saved.
IF it is necessary to conserve
rubber" Mr.. Corbin added. then
the off-peak hour service should be
curtailed rather than the rush hour
service"
Mr.. Corbin charged that the de-
cision of the PUG "sustains" an eff
fort of the transit company to deny
the riding public transfer points be-
tween buses and streetcars at Geor-
gla avenue and Madison street and
Georgia and New Hampshire ave-
nues. He argued that the merger
agreement, made when the transit
lines combined some years back,
called for reasonable transfer points
between streetcars and buses.
