school district budget for the
current fiscal year. The budget
was submitted to the county Of

It was noted that the bud

because OF, new school 1egisla-

million dollars for state equali-

This years levy represents a
decrease of 3.4 mills, compared

MIR. Skeie also reported that
77,000 meals were served inthe
school lunch program of the

E.+ Z z j.
Although we enjoyed the day
very much, we felt a little out
of place among the old-timerS
at the Kirby Old Settlers pic
mic last Sunday. We heard some
fascinating stories of the early
settlers in the community dur
ing the "good old days.
Those good old days" weren't
so good sometimes, according to
Warren AdSit, who settled in
the Kirby area in the DAYS
when Indian incidents were not
uncommon.
Mr.. Adsit says if one happen
ed to be out riding alone and
encountered Indians, ones hide
wasn't worth much unless he
happened to have a faster
horse than the Indians.
IF a horse happened to fall
and break your leg or your
arm" Mr.. Adsit said, you had
to get back on your horse and
ride for maybe so miles to get
the broken bone set" : .
Il wouldn't care to 60
through those Good Old Days
again, he said.
Life in those days was not
without its lighter side, how
ever, according to another story
related by Mr.. Adsit. Known in
those days for his love of good
horses, he told us of an Incl
dent which took place about
where Furman's store stands to-
day.
He had just acquired a new
horse. He and his wife, whom
he was counting at the. time,
were preparing to ride to Busby
to a baseball game, when his
"fiance" asked if she could
ride his new horse.
81 consented" he related,
"and got off. She got on the
horse and he pitched her about
as high as that tree you can
see over there. She Lit pretty
hard, but she got up and said,
We'll, I guess I can't ride him.
I said I guessed she couldn't
either, and so she rode her own
horse"
Adsit said there was nothing
wrong with the new horse, eX-
. cept he wasn't yet accustomed
to the long skirts the ladies
wore in those days.
Another. o1d-timer Cassius
French. DrObably could have
told some pretty good stories,
too, but we weren't lucky
enough to get in on any of
them.
After hearing from some of
those who went through them,
we're inclined to agree with Mr..
Adsit. We don't believe we'd
care much for the good old
days" either. We're too much
attached to some of the mod
ern commences.
