School Survey Is
Past First Stage
With $50 Listed

The first part of the London
City School System Ohio State
University survey has been COM
pleted according to Superintendent
J. J Hartley. And the figures in
dicate that the location of the
school is just as close to ideal as
possible.
The figures compiled in the sur
vey of children under school age
indicate that within the next five
years London school population is
due for an increase of approxima-
tely $50, accounting for no serious
influx of outsiders moving into the
area.
A point of interest growing out
Of the survey was that there are
353 pre-school children living east
of Main Street and 297 living west
OF the same street. The Eastern
portion is broken down into Ito
boys and 1T girls. The western
sector is composed of Isl boys and
146 girls.
Superintendent Hartley said any
person who was not contacted in
the census taking should contact
the school as soon as possible. He
added that this is applicable only
to the London City School District

hibit in the Trophy Case in the
new school building.
Membership in the FLA is made
up of farm boys who are students
of vocational agriculture in high
school. The organization activi-
ties are designed primarily to help
develop rural leadership and good
citizenship, and to stimulate the

ter has 30 members. Officers are

dent, Harry Sheridan; secretary,

each year for the observance of
National FLA Week. Although
generally recognized as a Revolu.
tionary War General and our first

was the farm he called Mount Ver-
non. There, he was one of the first
in the nation to practice contour

ton, and other soil conservation

Madison County Native Lauded For
Work With Indians In Arizona

A former Madison County wom-
an has won recognition in Califor-
MIA and Arizona for her charitable
work with the Navajo Indians in
the various reservations through
out Arizona. She is Nell Thomp-
son, the former Nell Coberly, who
left Madison County about 25
years ago.
Mrs. Thompson, a sister of Mrs.
John Ford, Walnut Street, Lon
don, lives in Hawthorne, Califor-
MIA. and spends her retiring hours
collecting barrels and boxes of
food and clothing for the Indians
whom she says have always fas-
cinated her.
A retired employee of the Bell
Telephone Company, Mrs. Thomp-
son pays all the expenses connect
ed with travelling to the many res
ervations, and does all her work on
a completely independent basis.
She asks nothing more than the
pleasure" in return for the fav-
ors she does.
Once however, she was present
ed with a bracelet by a squaw, and
on another occasion, she was invit-
ed to visit the reservation, which
she did, spending two days with
the Indians.
In the process of collecting the
clothing and food, as well as the
delivery, Mrs. Thompson does all
her own driving. Merchants OF the
area contributed many of the gar
ments she had given the Indians,
and during the past two years, she
has found something to keep her
busy at worthwhile tasks. She has
also put herself to the task of
washing and ironing many of the
clothes contributed by her friends
and neighbors.
Before going to California, Mrs.
Thompson was affiliated with the
telephone company in West Jeffer-
son. and continued her work in the
same field until her retirement.

Future Farmers
Keep Records For
Proof Positive

London High Schools Future
Farmers of America have been
busy this week recounting some of
their accomplishments during the
past year, and they have decided
that their records almost speak for
themselves.
Only recently the Chapter won
a silver medal award for their pro-
ficiency in parliamentary proce-
dure, and their classroom activities
are displayed in the charts they
have kept as result of close
work on the $50 acre farm they
operate.
On the farm, the FLA boys and
Advisor Hooking grow beef cattle,
hogs and sheep as well as several
small grain crops. They have also
planted four acre pasture plot in
two varieties of trefoil, on a strict
ly experimental basis.
AS a result of the farm opera
tions, the rooms of the school room
portion of their training are plast-
cred with charts and graphs show
ing the trends developed through
various methods of practice. The
charts deal with ration formulate
and other processes which the boys
have used in actual work on the
farm.
During FLA week, president
Larry Morehart. along with the
other boys in the chapter, have
been emphasizing the Importance
of keeping accurate records of all
work and evaluation of work ac-
cording to the results shown in the
records.
