School Budget Must Be Revised. Board Learns

The semi-annual report of Pal mer school, presented to the school board last Monday eve ming, was the principal topic of discussion at that board meet ing. As the result of that report, which presented a complete fi- nancial and statistical picture of the operation of Palmer school for the first half of the current term, it will be necessary to make up revised school budget, according to Carl Smelling, school superintendent.
 Of particular interest in the report were the compiled figures of classroom enrolment in the grade school to date. Five classes each have an enrolment of more tn n 25 students. Comment columns of this section of the re- port constantly repeat that there is no room for more pupils, nor are there seats available even if the classroom could accOmmo- date another student.
 In view of these present over- crowded conditions, and because an increase in school population is expected next term, MT. Snel- ling said it would be necessary to operate the Palmer grade school on double shifts.
 Figures have been presented which predict a possible school increase of 33 and one-third per cent. Although evidence seems to prove that these figures were ex- aggerated, MT. Smelling stated that he feels Palmer can reason ably expect an increase of Is per cent next term.
 Classrooms are so small that there is no solution except the double shift, the superintendent declared. Plans now are being formulated for that program. Buses will be required to make two trips each, morning and afternoon.

Homemaker's Club
 Backs Grange Plan

First to get in step with the
 "adside cleanup and home qualification project of the Northland Pioneer Grange is the Sourdough Homemaker's club. Ladies of the club met last week and decided that not only does the Valley need cleaning up, it needs "brightening up."
 Club members felt that a common garden flower should be selected for planting by all individuals nd club groups along roadsides and in pasture lots. The poppy was chosen as that flower.
 A spokesman for the club membership asked that all Val ley residents cooperate with this plan for brightening Valley roadsides and woodlots. Plant poppies in the stump rows or along the road, plant them in your garden or anywhere, plant many or plant few, but do plant poppies," the ladies urge.

MOVIES: Anybody who spent
time in World War II foXholes
will be revolted by something
called "A Foreign Affair."" in
which Marlene Dietrich, John
Lund and Jean Arthur join in
the nastiest insult to human de-
cency yet bubbled out of the
Hollywood sewer The fl ] m
starts with a slap at organized
labor and goes on to glorify the
minority of our citizens who
think war is an excuse for vic
timizing d e f e e d peoples
through black markets. Things
have gone pretty bad when Am
erican world leadership can't be
found except in black marketeer-
ing, and when Hollywood can get
away with showing a pro-labor
Congressman as an obnoxious
crackpot.
RADIO: With the AFL now
sponsoring a bright little radio
show, and with the CIO still
taking bows for its recent Sc
ries of quiz programs, we'd
like to nod to a less celebrated
program which did a wonder
full job last Winter and Spring.
1t was aired weekly in Akron,
Ohio, by the CIO Rubber
Workers, and was ace-high in
every departme ent. Labor
should take to the airways
more. The air can use freshen-
ing, you know.
SPORTS: Something we would
love dearly would be wrestling
match between Olympic champ
Henry Wittenberg of New York
and any of the doze.- pretenders
to the heavyweight pro title. If
the rules of fair play were en-
forced, Wittenberg would win
easily. But if they were allowed
to play rough, our money would
have to ride on the pro. Wres-
Ting may be a Aippodrome, but
some of those 250-pound pros
know how to protect themselves
in the rough going. The first
thing they do with an over-am-
bitionus amateur. is break his
nose with an elbow. It's an old
trick, frequently used to tame"
tough young wrestlers who have
no use for professional show
manship and want to win all
their matches.
