An Open Letter to
Parents of Fourth
St. School Students
BY DAN TRAVIS
Dear Parents !:

Dear Parents:
" Onthe desk of Principal Philip
!. Zarem Of Fourth st. school there
stands a file-box. That box con
tains damaging evidence of g
major parental shortening ir
this community. The box con-
tains slips OF paper that show
\ how often our children are alb
sent from school and how often
they are late to class when they
go to school.
Parents, i tell you, as l stood
recently ooking down on that
crowded and packed box Of alb.
sence and tardy slips I didn't be.
lieve that such could or would
exist if you were fully aware of
what the real situation was like.
For this reason I write this open
letter.
When Fourth st. boys and girls
are tardy to class they bring
home with them the same day
a printed slip of paper that
states the reasons why they Were
tardl. We parents are supposed
to sign and send these back the
next morning. The purpose Of
this is to let us know tina our
children were tardy together with
the reasons they gave for being
tardy.
According to Principal Zarem,
"Too often parents sign these
slips and feel that by so doing
they have discharged their obi
cations. l had hoped" he said,
that when our boys and girls
took these slips home their par
ents would sit down and talk
with them about their being tar
dy. had hoped that parents
would try to show our boys ard
girls that it is Important to be
school every day" He continued,
on time to class and to be in
II had hoped that each parent
would make some sort of ar
rangements to, get his child to-
class on time, and every day."
Obviously. however; Principal
Zarem's hopes have not been
realized for he added that it was
disheartening to watch students
leisurely strolling to class five,
or ten minutes after the bell
has rung, and exasperating to-
see them go on paying or con-
tinuing in some other activities
even though they knew the bell
had rung and that they would be
tardy. He concluded with the
statement that the school is at
tempting to teach the meaning
Of time" but it must also be-
taught in the homes; that the
home and school absolutely must
work together.
What's the reason for all this.
hardness and. absenteeism? Did
someone ask that question? In
the children's own words they
are: /. Mama was still sleeping
and so I had fix my own break
fast" q II had to go to the
store for my mother Or. my
aunt)." 8. II had to go to pay
a bill" 4. II had to go to pay the
insurance. Etc. Embarrassing,
isn't it,
I hope, Parents. that these
lines will serve to acquaint you
with what + saw and was told by
Principal Zarem who, by the
way, is one Of the best in the
field and knows what he's talk
ing about. hope, fufthr, that it
will stimulate us all to do our
part by our children to see that
that their attendance records at
school remain or become PER

Commissioners
Vote Against
Parking Meters
But Village Council,
1t Seems, Have
Their Own Plans

The Noble county commission
ers threw a monkey wrench into
the proposed plan of the Cald-
well council to install parking
meters in Caldwell, Monday
when they passed a resolution
to the effect that the street sur
rounding the public square in
Caldwell should be for the free
use of the general public.
Mayor Sam Secrest, backed by
the village council members,
who last week voted to install
the meters, said today in a direct
statement to the press:
''If we find that we can legal
ly place parking meters there,
we will do so. The commission
ers, as usual, are playing poll
tics.
The complete resolution, NOV
ed by Charles Rayner, of Ava,
and seconded by w. c. Toad
Davis, is as follows:
"Whereas, this board has been
informed that the council of the
village of Caldwell, Ohio, is con-
templating the installation of
parking meters in said village
and;
Whereas, this board is of the
opinion that the parking area on
the inside of the street surround
ing the public square in Caldwell
should be for the free use of the
general public;
"NoW, therefore, be it resolved
that this board of Commissioners
condemn the placing of parking
meters or any other instrument
or device for the collection OF
money from the public for park
ing privileges on the inside Of
said square and urge the coun-
| Gil to refuse to place said meters
or devices, and that a copy o1
this resolution be delivered tc
the clerk of the village of Cald-
well forthwith.
All three members of the
board of commissioners voted ir
favor of the resolution.
Sealed bids will be received
by the council until 7 p. m.
April 5, for the purchase of 10(
or more parking meters. The
bids will be quoted on tria.
basis for a period of nine months
with option to purchase at the
end of this period.
Without any advance publicity
the council voted favorably or
the parking meters at their reg
ular monthly meeting, March 8
Since that time, the entire com
munity has been arohsed ano
there is considerable opposition
to the plan.
There is every indication today
that the council will stand pat on
their plan to install parking
meters-come what may.

Disappeared
From Home
June 30, l9A7

Murder and robbery is be-
lieved to be the fate suffered
by Albert Becker, so. of Har-
riettsville, who disappeared
nearly two years ago with
$1,000 cash in his pockets.

ials feel that the body was plac-
ed in the lonely secluded field
south of town after being shot
and robbed by a person or per-
sons still at large.
Several clues which may help
solve the case are being ,investi-
gated this week by local officials
who are expected to enlist the
aid of a special investigator.

tar week.
The present club deadline was
March 81 and all chicks had to
be started by that date. The
chicken of tomorrow contest
rules state that all chicks must
be started the week of April
80 so the deadline has been eX-
tended to April 9. Members of
the local Al club may enter
their flocks in either or both
contests under the present setup.
Another inspection and weigh
ing will take place at the end of
twelve weeks. At this time cock
rels and pullets will be weighed
separately and the weight of the
cockrels recorded and turned
over to the local contest commit
tee. This work will probably be
done by the county agent. Entry
blanks can be secured at the eX-
tension office and must be turn
ed in to Mr.. Boyer by March Is.
Four-H members interested
only in the local contest and the
special awards to be given at
fair time are required to start
minimum of so chicks. These do
not have to be straight-run
chicks but may be all pulletts
or all cockrels. To enter both
contests, however, the above set
of rules must be followed.
Four-H club entrants will be
eligible to compete for the five
prizes awarded the best pen
displayed at the fair. Pens enter
ed at the fair must contain at
least three birds. These may be
three pullets, three cockrels or
two pullets and one cockrel.
First prize will be ten dollars.
Pens will be auctioned off at the
grandstand on Friday afternoon
of teh fair. Last year members
received from five to ten cents
more per pound than they would
have if their birds had been sold
to local buyers.
