The departure from tradition

states of Texas and Kansas, both

Now that President Eisenhower

Delaware did not gain the

EARLY Reminder q.

If to remark this week to "be and vote
November g. there would be who would feel that such
expression entirely out of place, that the timing
poor that is four months until election and that there
is get all steamed up about ones responsibility to
vote at this time of the year
Well it isn't out of place. If have reflected for a
the deep significance of Independence Day which
will be observed Wednesday throughout nation it
is early begin rejecting how each of
November g. do his part to assert that independence
and acknowledge freedom.
The privilege of voting of important herages,
made possible by struggle for Independence in 1776 and
unless continue to exercise that privilege the day will
surely come when will be unable to 90 to the polls
The answer to way Of thinking, is not the one in
effect in Australia where voting in compulsory. We should
have be made votein fact that is not democracy
way of doing things That practice should always remain
voluntary but every person should be filled with the i'm
porance this right of franchise that compusOn
would be necessary.
There ought to be need for checkers at the polls
need to hire automobiles to bring in people to vote.
The big thing to do right is to begin inform
ing ourselves the campaign issuesand then firmly
solve that when election day comes, will vote.
Statistics show that fewer than 44450000 Independent
and free Americans bothered to vote in the Congressional
elections of 1854 less than 50 percent of those eligible That
thoughts we entertain the meaning of the Fourth of
July
Can't we somehow change this attitude?

Resolution Passed
Committing Funds
To Bond Payment

The Board of Education met
Monday in special session in order
to adopt resolution committing
the additional incentive fund money
to be received from the State be-
ginning next year to the repay
ment of the $5OO,OOO elementary
school bond issue to the extent re-
quired for full amortization of the
bonds.
Willard L. Hawkins, county
superintendent of schools, said
such resolution by the board was
required by the bond attorney in
preparation for the advertisement
and sale of the bonds which is due
to take place within the next week
or two.
Hawkins said the architect prom
ised to have the specifications for
the buildings ready for bidding by
the middle of August and the school
board hoped to have the buildings
under contract not later than Oc-
tober l. By that time the bonds are
to be sold and the money available
to place the buildings under con-
tract.
AS indicated in the resolution,
both buildings will be entirely paid
for by funds for school construc-
ton coming from the state and will
in no way affect the local tax rate.
When completed the broom ele-
mentary school in Oakland will
house grades 4, 5 and 6 in the Oak
land area, and the eight-room
school on route 40, at Long Stretch,
will accommodate all children in
grades one through eight in the
johnson, Finzel and Avilton areas.
Only other business before the
board was approval of bids for
some janitorial supplies, and a
brief discussion on the ruling of
the State Department that school
buses must be purchased at 10 per-
cent less than the list price in order
to bring about some uniformity in
the cost of buses throughout the
state.
