something more than a slap on

Many OF us have got beyond
that stage. BY any standard, we

Fewer Hunters, But More Birds Reported
In Local Area As Season "Opens Week Late

Fewer hunters and slight in
crease in the pheasant population
emerged this week as characteristic
of the 1853 hunting season which
opened Monday morning, following a
postponement of one week because
of drought conditions in farmlands
and wood lots.
Although there are conflicting re-
ports, the general concensus of opin-
ion seems to be that there is a slight
increase in the number of pheasants
this year, as compared with last
falls extremely scarce supply.
Rabbits, however, are hard to find,
according to reports following the
first three days of the hunting sea
son.
Perhaps because of the postponed
season and also because of prelimin-
airy reports of game shortage, this
year saw fewer hunters taking to the
field than in many years in the Bluff
ton area.

School Levy Facts
To Be Discussed
At Citizens Meet

An open meeting of all citizens
of the Cory-Rawson school district
has been called for Monday evening
at 8 o'clock in the high school audi
torium to discuss the need for a
favorable vote on the 6.9-mill levy
The extra levy, which was defeated
at the last election, will be voted
upon again at a special election
December 10.
Called by Citizens Planning
Committee, the meeting will inform
the voters of all the facts in the
school operation.
Cory-Rawson has the lowest oper-
ating levy of any school district in
Hancock County.
Working and studying conditions
at the school are much better since
consolidation.
The elementary program is strong
er with kindergarten class in each
elementary building and making il
possible to separate junior high stu
dents from those in high school.
Drivers training and machine
shop classes have been added since
consolidation. Two years of short
hand and tipping are now offered.
Since the regular operating levey
has expired a new levy is needed.
Cory-Rawson has the largest en-
rollment in the county school system
with the largest number of teachers.
The school board has cut the mill
age and in so doing will not buy
buses for the next two years and
has trimmed the budget on its per-
manent improvement program.
