Now is the time to move for.
ward in unanimity toward the
building of a school system tina,
can cope with the challenge OF
our growing community.
Altho / have been made a bit
apprehensive about passing out
my own personal brand of laurels,
I'll venture nosegay for E. S.
Black, superintendent of the Ken
newick schools.
.-....
When the current school term
opened, the school administration
faced a condition that promised
sure disaster - attendance sky
rocketed, pupils packed the class
rooms and teacher loads neared
their ultimate limits.
But there has been no education
al breakdown in Kennewick.
More teachers and more class
room space are in immediate pros
pect.
With the solid support Of the
school directors. Superintendent
Black has transformed impending
chaos into order. Altho some con-
ditions in the schools still require
correction, alienation for them is
in sight.
:. To E. S. Black, who lin my own
personal opini6n) stands as the
one man most responsible for this
accomplishment, extend my
heartiest and most sincere COM
mendation. 4

Cloud was lover of civic beauty,
and until his death in 1907 and
for several years thereafter, the
Civic League was an influential
organization. 1t had more than
100 members and met regularly
in Mr.. Kinkade's offices.
Mr.. McCloud was at one time
owner of what is now the Rexall
Drug store operated by Charles
Asman. He later bought the Davis

the time of his death. His reputa-
ton and influence was known
far beyond the corporation limits

many important documents and
records of previous administra-

The deed to this tract of land may

For the Village to obtain clear
title to the land, it was necessary,
several years ago, to obtain quit

Clouds heirs. None of these, Of

use to be made of the property,
but it has always been known
that Mr.. McCloud'S one and only
reason for deciding it to the Com
munity was to provide a place of
beauty to welcome strangers to
Marysville.

The best outlook for better hous-
ing in the South, say Extension
Service Officials is through the
use of family labor and local ma
terials such as sand, gravel, field
stones and rough lumber, since
the housing problems of the South
are directly related to low income,
and average farmer to hire all the
labor and buy all the material for
building his home.
Jackson advocate. [volume] (Jackson, Miss.) 1939-current, 1948-01-10

The urgent need TO rural home
improvement in the South is in
Dictated by census data which show
that about three fourths of the
farmers in the South are i'll hous-
ed. Most of these farmers live in
homes that are over-crowded, run
down, and otherwise inadequate.
Less than one farm home in 20
has indoor toilet facilities, while
three out of 20 have no toilet IA
cilities at all.
Seeking to help remedy this
grave rural housing problem, ex-
tension agents are showing farm
ers how to repair, remodel or re-
build their homes. The agents not
only furnish floors plans for new
homes, but in some communities,
they also are showing farmers how
to make and lay concrete blocks
and how to build.
