School Dedication
Continued from Page One)

Continued from Page One)
Mr.. Donald Elliott, president of
the Board of Education, told brief
ly of the years of blood, sweat,
and tears" the many problems and
set-backs incurred, and of the
patience and cooperation with the
school board of the school faculty,
student body and parents during
the five years since the first bond
issue for the new building was
passed by the voters of Jefferson
Township.
Then, with Mr.. James Argan-
bright, Commander of American
Legion Post 201, an alumnus of
Jefferson High School, as a rep
resentative, Mr.. Elliott dedicated
the Jefferson Memorial School to
Veterans of all wars. Mr.. Argan-
bright, in few well chosen words,
expressed appreciation and thanks
for those represented, then called
for silent prayer by the assembly.
Mr.. Rolla D. Webster, Madison
County School Superintendent,
spoke briefly, congratulating those
responsible for their splendid ach-
ievement and expressing his wishes
for continued success of the school.
After God Bless America" by
the Assembly, the program con-
cluded with "Benediction" by the
Rev. George Eley.
The auditorium was cleared and
ready for the round and square
dance, sponsore by the Legion, at
900 pm. With Marrot's Orchestra
of Columbus providing the music,
a large and enthusiastic crowd
participating, the dancing contin-
ued till II pm.
With the dying away of the last
notes of the last dance number,
the full schedule of the impressive
and long to be remembered day
was brought to an end. The long
cherished dream, the sometimes al
most hopelessly, hoped for modern
and adequate school for the child
rem of the community, now had
becOr11e a reality

Billy Goat Bluff
Rioh+ Off The Cuff

JUNEAU, Alaska R)-The af-
fair of the goats has become one
of the seasons major biological
disappointments of this Northern
territory.
1t was disappointing to the u.
S. Fish and Wildlife Service, and,
had they known what was in the
wind, it would have been a crush
ing blow to the mountain goats of
Kodiak Island.
The goats of Kodiak, you see,
are all billies-and bachelors.
The project vas to get two cap
tured nannies 10 Kodiak-if only
some way could be found to get
them across the swollen Knik
River northeast Of Anchorage.
Now comes the setback. Erwin
Nelson, FWS federal aid in Alas
ka, reports the goats were finally
brought across the river-but he
doesn't know how. And somebody
made a mistake he doesn't know
how. They aren't nannies at all.
They are just another lonely pair
of billies.
The trapper, Glen Williams, will
get only $3.50 piece for the bill
lies. The price for bring-em-back
-alive nannies is $3.50. But nobody
figures Williams is the goat. He
presumably knew all the time he
had only the $3.50 kind.

The duty of each of us and par
ticularly of our courts is to help
eliminate these irresponsible driv-
ers from our highways. To keep
our families whole we need honest
and thorough law enforcement.
From the cases we read of in this
newspaper our community is fall
ing short of it's duty. Drunken
drivers are being fined and then
sent back on the road.
1t takes a courageous judge to
maintain true justice. But if he
lacks this courage he is not serv-
ing his public nor his convictions.
An honest public servant would
see to it that drunken drivers are
not sent back on the road after
seven and eight offences until
they finally commit manslaughter.
Our officials should revoke drivers
licenses much more freely. And
drivers should be checked fire.
quently by city police for posses
sion of the license. This might keep
some of the illegal and incompet-
ant twelve to fifteen year old driv-
ers off the road.
Strict law enforcement is our
only hope to make highway travel
safer. The farm community has as
much responsibility in this respect
as the big metropolis. Let's keep
the innocent people alive.
Sincerely,
Mrs. Samuel B. Ronsheim

Boys Prayer
Unanswered

PONTIAC, Mich. P)-The pray
er of 16-year-old Jerry Moore has
not been answered. And who is to
say it is not better that way?
When his parents, Mr.. and Mrs.
Murray j. Moore, were tragically
killed year ago in an auto COLI
sion, Jerry and his 10 brothers
and sisters were lost and bewild-
cred.
Dear Cod" he said, please
let us stay together. If we had
to lose our father and mother,
surely the rest of us belong to-
gether."
= Today, on the anniversary of the
tragic accident, only Jerry, IA
year-old Ann and Tom, 13, are
together. New homes have been
found for Sharon II, Jean 10, Bar
bara, 8, Janet z, Jim 6, Jeff 5,
Shirley 3, and Michael l.
Their new homes are widely
spread out in Worthwhile, Mich,
Pittsburgh, Pa, Royal Oak, Mich,
and Tom will soon be living with
a Royal Oak businessman and his
family.
Both Jerry and Ann, regarded
as too old to be adopted, are un-
der the watchful and sympathetic
eye of Probate Judge Arthur
Moore, no relation, and steps for
their complete education are being
made.
Every effort was made after the
accident to keep the children to-
gether. The Probate Court first
allowed them all to stay in the
home newly-purchased by their
parents in nearby Leonard, in the
care of their maternal grandpar-
ents, Mr.. and Mrs. Charles T.
Moss, of Royal Oak.
However, when the grandpar-
ents' health failed, other arrange
ments had to be made. The chill
drens' paternal grandmother, Mrs.
Grace Moore, took over and with
the help of alternating house keep
ers, provided for the youngsters.
Time made apparent the neces-
sity of new homes for the children.
And all but Jerry, Ann and Tom
went into new homes, on a trial
basis pla, which has since worked
out nicely for all. Those three are
now with their paternal grand
mother in Leonard.

Dear Sir:
The biggest threats to life on our
highways are all the people who
continue to operate motor vehicles
while having one or many drinks
under their belts. Scientists have
the figures to prove that even one
drink lowers ones reaction time.
Think of the potential danger
powerful modern car represents in
terms of your life and the lives of
your loved ones-when the person
behind the wheel is one rendered
irresponsible by the effects of al
cohol.
