Working Out Fine

The use of displaced Europeans

reports received by the State En-
ployment Service in Baltimore.
This is in sharp contrast to the

mittee have remained.
The other four have either left
to live with relatives in other
parts of the country or have been
assigned to other work.
This is how the program has
worked out in Montgomery,
Prince Georges, Anne Arundel,
Calvert and Charles Counties:
Montgomery County-Two fam
lilies sent there originally. of
whom one was returned to the

and has been replaced.
Prince Georges County-Of the
10 families assigned. one has re-
turned to Philadelphia because of
LII health.
Anne Arundel-No change in
the nine families sent there.

sent there originally have re-
manned.

Mr.. Welsh, president Of the

should vote them down and then

new BUILDING IS
TALK In MERGED
SCHOOL DISTRICTS
Building for 300 Between Mt.
Cory and Rawson Estimated
in Discussions
Proposal for Bond Issue May be
Submitted to Voters at
Fall Election

Speculation was rife this week in
the newly merged Mt. Cory and
Rawson school district as to
prospects for a new high school
building to be constructed somewhere
in the district outside either town.
Suggestion that such a building be
constructed was made by the Han
cock County Board of Education in
connection with announcement of the
merger last week. Under this plan
present school buildings would be
continued in Mt. Cory and Rawson
for the first eight grades.
Altho there was no elaboration of
details in connection with the boards
suggestion, discussions have estimat-
ed 800 as about the required size Of
the building if it is to be construct
ed with an eye to future needs.
Location Between Towns Favored
A location between the two towns
situated 3 miles apart is generally
favored, altho the suggestion of the
county board would make eligible
any site in the district outside the
two incorporated villages.
In order to carry out the sug-
gestion for new building, it would
first be necessary to submit the
proposal for bond issue to meet
the cost of construction, to the voters
Of the district, presumably at the
elecion next fall.
Under present statutes the per-
centage of total vote required to ap-
prove the measure would be 65 per
cent. However a bill now pending
in the state legislature would reduce
this margin to 55 per cent.
If the measure should be approved
by voters this fall, it is estimated
that the building would be ready for
occupancy in about two years.
