Thanks to the treess efforts in scientific research
of Senator Dudley j. LeBlanc-eminent statesman Of
Louisiana and creator of this great HADACOL
you don't have to be satisfied with symptomatc
relef-because it's possible to relieve the real
of such ailments stomach distress, gas pains,
heartburn, indigestion aches and pains, certain
disorders and general rundown condition, due
to lack of Vitamins B., Be- Iron and Niacin.

COUNTY ELEMENTARY LEVY

At the present time school dis
tricts must levy mills each before
participating in state and county aid.
Each county must levy 10 mills. 1t
might be just as we'll to eliminate
this 5mill levy and levy instead a
15-mill or 20-mill county levy for
elementary purposes. This will help in
equalizing the tax load and also
clarity tuition payments.
CASH BALANCES
For the coming budget any cash
balance remaining to the credit of
the district can be used for increas-
ing the Reserve up to the $50 al
lowed by law, or to apply against
the needs of the coming budget. Und-
er the ruling by the Attorney Gen
eral, part of this cash balance may
be used to reduce the levy needed for
the stated efficiency in state foun-
dation programs of both high school
and elementary and also may be used
to reduce the levy needed in the 1870
allowed above the foundation pro-
gram for high schools. The Depart
ment recommends that the law be
amended so that cash balances may
be used to increase Reserves and
that any balances remaining can be
used to effect district levies needed
after district, state, and county aid
has been secured. This means that
the cash balances could be used to
offset levies for the state deficiency,
the per cent allowed without vote,
and anything above this that would
have to be voted.
ASSESSMENTS

county aid dependent to large part

concerned, it is imperative that some

Healthy Economy Demands
Equal Paw for Women

WASHINGTON, D. Establish
m n t of the principle of equal
pay for women is essential to a
healthy economy, Secretary of Labor
Maurice J. Tobin told a subcommit-
tee of the House Committee on Edu-
cation and Labor. He urged that pas
sage of bills H. R. 1884 and H. R.
2438, the proposed "Women's Equal
Pay Act of 1949."
w ge discrimination against
women, he said, tends to depress
all wage levels, resulting even
tually in lower levels of earnings
for all, with consequent reduc-
ton in purchasing power and in
standards of living.
Women workers make up a sub
stantial part of the labor force,
he emphasized-almo 18 million
in February 1850.
The discriminatory wage practices
also result in labor disputes, Tobin
declared. ''The threat of lay-off and
wage cutting implicit in the opera
ton of lower wage standards for
women makes for unrest on the part
of both men and women workers and
creates an undesirable condition of
instability in the labor market"

self must be eliminated, and the con-
scription of youth for war PROCESS
sively abandoned by the nations, not
extended. The danger is that the
more power a nation gives to it's
military leaders, the more it comes
to trust in ornaments for it's security
and this in turn inspires other ma
tions to put their trust in ornaments.
The result of this kind of thing is
the arms race, whipped by fear and
suspicion, that leads to war.
If, for just one year, the United
States were to put into efforts for
disarm ament and international un-
derstan ding what it now spends
for arms and ornaments, the
whole course of world history might
be turned into more hopeful chan
neIs. Certainly the addition of
more money and more men to an
already awful burden of arms and
suspicion will do little to help.

TRUSTEES IN HIGH SCHOOL
DISTRICTS
There seems to be good evidence
produced during the past year that
high school districts should be di-
vided into trustee districts in order
that the entire high school dis
trict, composed of several common
school districts, will be represented
on the high school board.
Other items which will need some
revision concern budgeting for junior
colleges, counting of post graduates
in the ANB, funds for the education
of the exceptional child, Qualification
of the junior high school, provision
for the licensing and acrediting of
private schools, Qualification of the
law in regard to determining resi-
dence of pupils, increase in salaries
of County Superintendent, and
Qualification of the law relating to
the change of boundaries of high
school districts. Other matters being
studied concern the method of pro-
motion of eighth grade pupils to high
school, securing uniform rules and
for conducting elections
in all school districts, Qualification
on methods to be used by boards in
selling school property, as to bids,
ETC., Qualification of sections in the
law referring to voluntary consolida-
ton of school districts, better time
and date setup for the mailing of
budgets, uniform provisions for the
of all school district books,
more efficient results from the state
textbook law, provision for the county
high school to vote a levy when it
does not have a high school dis
trict, and repeal of many obsolete
laws now cluttering up the law books.

PRESENTS RECOMMENDATIONS


portation will be given students be
changed from miles to miles. A
law introduced into the last Session
advocated 2 u miles. Budgeting for
transportation seems to be quite salts
factory, excepting in the elementary
where the district should be allowed
to levy for the entire balance of the
transportation budget after receiv-
ing state and county aid, without a
vote. 1t might also be advisable to
define by law the county transpOr-
tation committee and give it statu-
tory powers over bus routes of the
county and other transportation
problems. Other legislation should be
concerned with clarifying methods by
which districts may purchase BUSES,
and possibly providing bus deprecia-
ton fund. Under present law a dis
trict cannot bond itself for the pur-
chase of school bus. 1t is also true
under present law that districts do
not have to call for bids on letting
bus contracts, except where COM
mon carrier is involved. 1t might be
we'll to change this to make it manda-
tory to ask for bids excepting where
renewals are concerned. Less con-
fusion might result if transportation
and also tuition were paid on the
basis of figures for the previous
year.
OPERATING SCHOOLS
The present law provides that dis
trictS which do not operate schools
do not now receive state and county
aid should they decide to operate a
schools for next year. A recent rul-
ing of the State Board of Education
provides that if such districts Sc
cure approval of the County Superin-
tendent and the County Commission
ers for the reopening of this school,
then upon approval by the state, such
schools will be eligible to receive an
average number belonging for state
and county aid. Such approval is only
to be granted in cases where it is
more efficient, economical, and bet
ter for the pupils to have such school
