.KIWANIANS MOVE
LICENSE OFFICE

Rush season out of the way,
automobile license tag headquart-
ers have been moved by the XII
wants club from 12418 w. Fifth st.
to the Splitter Motor Sales garage.
Miss Katherine Southwick has
been designated by the club to
handle the sale of tags in the
future, and the Garage will be
open for this purpose every day,
including Saturday.
AS a result of the tag sale, the
Kiwanians have already realized
several hundred dollars which will
be used in carrying on their pro-
gram of civic betterment.
Street markers have already
arrived and will be put in place as
soon as standards can be obtained.
Made of heavy steel, the plates
are four inches high, black on a
white background, and can be
read from a considerable distance.
They will be bolted to angle-iron
posts, which are expected to be
received in about a month. The
posts will, in turn, be set in con-
crete, inside two eight-inch tiles
placed end-to-end vertically in the
ground.
Signs have been obtained for
every street intersection in Marys-
Vile, and include names of sever
al street which none of the KiWan-
ianS was aware existed. An official
Village plat map was used to OBJ
tain names of all the streets and
the correct number of signs to
make.

cuss possibility of remedying the
faulty sewer situation which has
twice this spring resulted in the

The School Board decided to do
this at their last regular meeting,
Monday evening, as the prelimin-

which has bothered the schools for
many years.
Both times the school Easements

for its election of new members.
There has always been an argu-
mcnt between the G. R. and the
Hi-Y about their different meth
DDS of taking in members. How
ever, neither side ever agrees with
other, so the old customs go on
undiSturbed. There were three So
phomore boys and one junior voted
into the club. They are Dale Bell,
Harold Goedeking, Mamie Rogers,
and Bob Shanks.
We have a new teacher and a
new secretary in school Mrs. Mar
tin is taking Mr.. Wiseman's place
and Barbara Way is the new Sec
retary. We enjoy having both of
them.
Wednesday morning a tree be-
hind the Senior high building was
trimmed of some branches. Late
Wednesday afternoon the wind did
some triming on her own and al
most trimmed the school building.
A tree near the front entrance was
blown down, luckily falling away
from the building, between two
other trees.
Monday morning the biology
classes in high school heard talk
by Mr.. Beck of the Farm Bureau,
who is an authority on bees. He
had a demonstration comb and e.
quipment used in handling bees
and examples of combs damaged
by other insects. He spoke of hob
bieS in general, and bee keeping in
particular. The class enjoyed it
very much. We have been studying
the insects and have decided there
are too many of them.
Results from the Senior Test
have been returned. This test, Civ
en- all over the state to high school
seniors, covered literature and
grammar, history, math, science
and reading. It's really hard. Miss
Mills said that if anyone ever got
them all right, they'd probably be
made president or something. Bob
Hamilton was first in the county,
Judith Kingsmore second, Mary
Scott third.
If you've wondered why most of
the students are walking around
with their nose in a book, it's not
a sudden thirst for knowledge. This
is the last week of the fifth six
weeks period and book reports
for English, history and Spanish
have to be in by Friday. We all in
tended to read our books the first
week. How time flies.

ty preparatory to and in connec-
ton with. the educational phases

choed Mr.. Boerger's statements,

Our last service of the day was
held in a large windowless room
on the third floor of a building.
1t was some type of an assembly
hall and may have belonged to

Germany. The boys had construct

the temperature of the room. My

never before shaken all over. All

boys seemed to have charge of the
hall. They arranged the chairs
before the service, watched us
through the pine bough decorat-

gathered up our song books after
the meeting. That gave me an op-

After supper l had a nice cold

a beautiful moonlight night but
not fun because night riding in

that was the best possible gift, but
I still can't associate drink with
religious celebration. To me, the
high point in the evening was
when a few of us sat around our
little tree and told each man of
the way his family observes

many versions and the sincerity
with which each fellow believed
