Douglas has been buzzing
with activity for two weeks now
in carrying out our testing pro-
gram. The sixth graders started
the ball TO rolling this year, and
from all evidence our pupils are
more conscientious, and they are
striving harder than ever before
to do their very best.
Mrs. c. Boyer, safety patrol
lady, is urging each boy and girl
at Douglas to launch an indivi-
dual safety campaign in carrying
out good, and sensible safety prac-
tices during this school year. She
informed them that each of the
patrol women have citations that
they will have to issue to them il
any of the safety rules are VIC
lated. She indicated that every
parent is directly responsible for
the pupils who may receive these
citations.
We are fortunate in having a
third patrol woman this year. She
is Mrs. Richardson, and she's
stationed at the crossing on 18th
street and 9Th ave.
The pupils are doubly elateds
first over the return of our art
conSultant, Mrs. 1. Dukes, who re-
ceived an advanced degree in the
field of Art, and secondly over
the addition of Mrs. :Juanita Hurd
as Music Consultant. Their delight
is evident each time these in
structors enter class.
Our faculty is saddened over
the departure of one of our favo-
rite teachers, Mrs. M. Chandler.
Mrs. Chandler has been promoted
to the position of Curriculum As
sistant at Bethune Elementary. We
are happy over her promotion,
but very sorry to see her go. Be
fore leaving, the entire staff fet-
ed her with a party and gifts.
A recent visitor at Douglas was
Mrs. Louise Symonette, a school
teacher from Nassau, Bahamas.
She was the guest of Mrs. In
graham, Second Grade teacher.
Regular PTA, melting will be
held on September 9th, at 800
pm. All parents of our pupils are
requested to be present for this,
our initial meeting for the year.
Our new PTA president, Mrs.

On Soil Bank Program

Should l participate in the soil
bank? That is question each Del
aware farmer must consider care
fully and then answer for his own
particular farm. There is no one
answer to fit all situations. Some
of the questions to be answered in
arriving at the decision of whether
or not a farmer should place a por-
tion of his farm in the soil bank
are:
1. Will an acre placed in the soil
bank yield a larger return than
planting it in a crop?
2. What productive use can
make of the resources, other than
land, which l save by putting land
in the bank? fertilizer, self and
hired labor, credit, machinery, etc.
3. Will participating i'm the soil
banks cause change in the man
agement program for my farm?
A. How does the soil bank affect
me as a landlord? rs a tenant?
Some ideas and suggestions to
help answer these questions are
given in a three9page pamphlet
that is available for distribution
through the Extension Office,

may secure their copy by writing
