AMBULANCE
FUND DRIVE
Campaign To Start First
Week In August To Raise
Funds For Service
ANSWER 1876 CALLS

Starting the first week in
August, the local Legion Ambu-
lance Service will go before the
public to raise additional funds in
order that they may continue
their valuable aid to the COM
munity life of this area. During
the past year, the Legion pur-
chased a Cadillac Ambulance as
a replacement for the obsolete
Studebaker unit they formerly
owned. In order to pay for the
purchase of this new equipment,
the two-way radio installation and
anoxygen unit, it was necessary
to expend practically all monies
received by the Ambulance Ser
vice to date. This left the Ambu-
lance Fund so depleted that it
has been quite an effort to meet
monthly operating expenses.
Answer 1876 Calls
In the last twelve month period
the Post Ambulances have an
swered a total of one hundred,
ninety-six bonified calls. Of this
number, a reasonable share were
emergency runs; several lives
saved. OF the monies received by
the Ambulance Service all funds
are deposited directly to the
Ambulance Account and cannot,
under any circumstances be used
for any other purposes. Therefore,
all contributors may be safely as
sured that their aid is spent
1000 for the advancement of this
community project. Another fac
tor which should not be overlook
ed is that all funds subscribed to
the Legion Ambulance Service
are deductible from both the
State and Federal Income Tax
Assessment. A signed receipt will
be given to all those who contri-
butte to this drive. Mo matter how
small, each and every donation
made to this Fund will be great
ly appreciated by the members of
the David c. Harrison Post No.
ii, Inc, who give so freely of
their time to aid others in dis
tress.

Stores Are Urged
To Plan Carefully

Department and speciality

customers to suburban areas II
they are to increase sales volume
and profits.
That is the conclusion Of Rob-

economic analyst and business
consultant, in an article, Branch
Store Policies" which appears
in the September issue Of the
monthly bulletin Of the Urban
Land Institute,
A decision to branch out, how
ever, raises a number Of ques-
tions for the store making the
decision, Mr.. Armstrong notes.
What suburb should be selected?
How big should the branch store
be-? Where in the suburb selected
should the branch be put?
The answers, he says. vary
with specific conditions. but he
adds:
"With the economic and sta
tistical methods and formulae
which we now have at our dis
posal, it is no longer necessary
for a store to use guess and
hunch methods. Branch expan-
sion can be planned and ac-
complished scientifically and
aimed at those localities which
may now. or in the future, con-
tain a population with sufficient
purchasing power to justify q
new store"
Mr.. Armstrong recommends
prompt formation of branch
programs extending ahead for
Is, 20 or even 25 years. "If

NEED FOR SPACE

Possibility that space out
side the new elementary
school building will have to
be rented for one of the three
kindergarten sections t h i S
school year was to be con-
sidered by the Board of Education
at special meeting this Thursday
night.
Under consideration is the rent
ing of space in the basement of
the new st. John Lutheran parish
building, or else at the Youth Cen
ter, for half-days.
One of the rooms previously
used for kindergarten space must
be used for first or second grade
this year, since big enrollments in
these two grades require five sec
tionS each. Kindergarten, with an
anticipated 1870 children, will re-
quire three sections. Two teachers,
full-time, and one teacher, part
time, will again be required for
kindergarten.
A public hearing on the school
budget, advertised for last Thurs
days regular Board meeting, drew
not a single person outside Board
members. The budget was tenta-
lively approved by the Board.
