HUNTERS MAY BE ABLE

According to information, the
State game commission is maj

NORLAND CITIZEN REPORTS
SEEING STRANGE CRITTER

Milburn Swindall, Norland mer
chant and farmer, reports seeting
a strange animal in his pasture
field the past week that he feels
sure was a young bear.
He went to his pasture to salt
his cattle or to see if his herd
was all there. When he reached
the pasture fence he happened to
see the animal in crouching po-
sition and his first thought was
that a. strange calf or yearling
was in the field. Looking closer
he decided definitely that it was
not either. He started across the
fence as carefully as possible so
to not brighten the animal away
before he could see just what it
might be, but it discovered him
IS he crossed and ambled away
into the bushes and out of sight.

County Schools
To Open
Monday

All schools in Dickinson coun-
ty are scheduled to open next
Monday. However, according r.
the superintendent of schools, it
is doubtful if every school will
open on that date. Patrons are
asked to wait few days before
contracting school officials in case
a teacher is not present for the
first roll call. Every effort pos
sible is being made to secure com
petent teachers, but prevailing
conditions throughout the state
are becoming more critical almos1
hourly. The problem of securing
qualified and experienced teach
ers cannot be solved until after
the war, and patrons are being
urged to cooperate in every way
possible with the teacher at
your school in order that the best
school possible may be had under
the circumstances.
At recent meeting of the
school board it was decided that
the school ground in Clintwood
would be fenced and not be held
open to the public loafers and
cows and not as d parking ground
for cars and trucks during the
day and night and in all seasons
Of the year.
All persons are asked to buy
school books between the hours
of 900 a. m. and 500 p. m. on
Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday,
Thursday and Friday and until
noon on Saturday during h
months of September and Octob-
er. After October and until fur
Their notice the book store will be
open only on Saturday mornings.
The book store is now To-
Gated at Dickinson Memorial
High School, and books can
only be purchased at that place
and at the time indicated above
