all. The board members have done
a good job and I feel we shouldn't
kick them out. We need their ex-
perience."
Councilman Carlista Snyder,
whose husband, Ralph L. Snyder,
last week offered to take the SER
vice directors job at the salary
of dollar a year, remarked:
"Ralph's offer was made because
he feels as strongly as I do that
we cannot afford high salaried
men and that the board should be
retained. He does not want the
job but will take it as a public
spirited citizen"
Most members of council lean
ed towards establishing a fixed
salary for the service director,
and the matter probably will be
voted at next Tuesdays meeting.
The director, incidentally, is ap-
pointed by the mayor, with coun-
ellis approval.
Solicitor Wilber informed coun-
Gil last month that The city could
not proceed with necessary bond
issues unless a service director is
appointed.
Under councils new action, the
utilities board would have auth
ority only over municipality owned
utilities, i. e., waterworks, airport,
sewage disposal system. The SER
vice director would be in charge
of all other SarviceS

dent of schools in Reading, Ohio,
reported to his board of education
last week the schools largest en-
rollment of 1,225 children and at the
same time laid on the table the need
for new million dollar school
building.
Reading, Ohio, located at the edge
of Cincinnati has been the center of
a sensational residential develop
ment in the last few years. The
mortar was hardly set on a large
new elementary school building when
it became necessary for Mr.. Durkee
to ask for another building.
The millionI dollar estimate in
cludes equipment and furnishings.
Realtors now developing additional
subdivisions in Reading have assured
Mr.. ~Durkee that 600 to 800 more
homes will be completed in Reading
within the coming year.
Estimating the average home to
have only two children, the former
Beaverdam man told his board it
could expect the school population
to at least double in the next two
years.

missing links in agriculture and
does not compete with but compli-
ment other existing organizations.
One of the main goals, according
to Mr.. Shaw, is to obtain for
farmers a farir share of the ma
tional income. The Farm Bureau
is non-Governmental, independ-
ent farm organization built and
financed by farmers to do for
farmers what they want to do.
During the past several years, the
Farm Bureau has been very in
strumental in working with Con-
gresS TO assist farmers in getting
their fair share of the national in

grams and other means. The Farm
Bureau was successful in then
fight to keep peanuts as one of the
basic commodities. According to
Mr.. Shaw, if it was not for the
Farm Bureau, peanuts would have
not been considered as one of the
basic commodities i'll the 1855 pro-

the huge cat running along the
road.
1t was much larger than any
