School District Has
Bonding Privilege Of
$4,000, Graft Told

Fred w. Graft, superintendent
of schools, said this week he had
been informed by the county
treasurer's office that the bond
ing privilege of school district
7 is $4,000 as of now.
The information had been
sought in connection with the
study the board of trustees and
school executives are making on
the problem of additional space
for classes. A possible solution
is the construction of a new
building, intended to relieve con-
gestion for several years.
Reporting the superintendent's
address last week at a meeting Of
the Kiwanis club, the Laurel Out
looks story contained a typo
graphical error. 1t said the
guessed bonding privilege was
$4,000. The figure should have
been $150,O00.

Dirty American Dollars Are
fUntouchabIes' in Havana

HAVANA.-If the Yankee dollar
is in disrepute here, one Mortified
look will tell you why. United States
dollars circulate here as if they
were Cuban dinero.
The difference is that when a
peso note gets shoddy, it can be
withdrawn by the Cuban treasury
and a crisp, new and clean one is
sued in its place.
But the bills brought here by tour
lists have no withdrawal agency.
They get dirtier and dirtier. 1t is
amazing how dirty they get. Tour
lists could take them home but they
are afraid to touch them. Many are
so worn out that serial numbers can
not be read. They come with change
every time a larger one is broken,
but tourists try to spend them fast
so they won't have to put them in
pockets.

Canine Mental Troubles
Stem From Human Beings

ATLANTA. GA. - Dogs become
mentally i'll from associating with
people, DR.. L. c. Moss of Fort Col
Inns, Colo, reported in on address to
the national convention of the Amer
lean Animal Hospital association.
Exploration of human behavior
has led to the inevitable conclusion
that mental and environmental in
fiuences play major role in shap-
ing lives of pets and other domestic
animals" he declared. Abuse or
pampering by humans can produce
psychotic dogs, DR.. Moss noted.
The association of dogs with other
dogs. he declared, can produce men
tai illnesses, too. The veterinarian
said dogs are influenced by fear,
pain, jealousy, suspicion. frustra'
ton and dominance Of stronger
members. In brief, what people call
a dogs life has considerable founda
ton in fact. Even the dogs don't
like it.

HOWDY FOLKS:

The air waves are clear and
pure on this beautiful fall morn
ing. Perhaps the absence of po-
litical palaver on election day
explains it.
There's vast difference
between a horse race and a
political race. In the horse
race the whole horse runs.
You can't fool all the people
all the time, but politician is
contented with a sizeable major
ity.
A politician is one who
talks himself red, white and
blue in the face.
That little boy who was sent
to the store and forgot what he
was sent for grew up to be a
politician.
You know we're only kid
ding. As a matter of fact,
the writer came from a long
line of politicians. His grand
father once ran for the b0r-
der.
We make no bones of the fact
that we are running after your
business.
And, if we get your trade,
we'll try hard enough to hold

We are writing this ad election day, so naturally
we don't know yet how the election is coming out
One nice thing, among many nice things, in this
country is the fact that we can hold election
and no matter which side wins, nearly every one
cooperates with the regime. Because one
side loses, we don't cook up revolution, as hap
pens in some countries. No one tells us how TO
vote We make our own choice It's pretty
good country, this United States of America
