sundry other articles.
Many of the owners did not know
they had even been robbed until
the articles had been recovered and
were in the sheriff's office. An
touch was provided when
one citizen saw a stranger walking
down the street carrying a bundle
in a blanket in one hand.
and a Savage rifle in the other. Said
the citizen: That guy has a gun
Just like mine" Evidently he was
right, and the gun WAS his. for
when he looked for his rifle. it was
missing, Going to the sheriff's of
flee to notify the law, he found
the firearm had beaten him there.
The loot was found Tuesday
in a box car which was

principals win be here from one
to two weeks early to take care Of
preliminary planning in their de-
partment.
A new age requirement for at
tendance in the first grade was
adopted by the Board Of Trustees
at their lastS meeting This action
makes it necessary for a child to
be six years of age on or before
December l, 1947 in order to at
tend school. This moves the re-
ouirement back one month from !
where it was previously.
The action was taken because 1t
has been found here and elsewhere
that children will benefit more
from their school experiences if
they are older Many other schools
in the state and in Lincoln County
are making changes Of a similar
nature or have made them at a
previous date. The board also ex-
pressed itself as feeling that this
would eventually lead to the
of kindergarten in
the school as soon as space, teachers
and finance are available.
