London Voters To Decide
Two Major School Issues
On November ) Ballot
Sunday Schools
Start Contest To
Boost Attendance

Two London Sunday School
classes have started competitive
attendance drives in an effort to
get their enrolment up to the
place where they feel they should
be, according to an announcement
made this week.
The Adult Mems class of the
First Methodist Church challenged
the class of the Presbyterian chur-
ch to the contest, running from Oc-
tober 6 through December %, and
the Presbyterian class accepted.
The class which gains the most
points during the attendance con-
test will be treated to banquet by
the losing team.
The point system being used
gives the class five points for each
new member on the first day he
attends, plus point for each addi-
tional Sunday, with an additional
five points for perfect attendance
during the contest. Regular men,
bers count point each Sunday
plus five points if they maintain
perfect attendance during the per-
iod covered.
For the purpose of the contest,
new members are those who have
not attended since June. The class
es have worked out leaders to re-
cruit both new members and those
whose membership has been irreg-
ular, and will do contact work to
keep the points increasing.

Both Measures
Called Vital To
School Growth

Voters of London are being ask
ed to decide two issues of major
Importance to the London Public
Schools, when they go to the polls
Tuesday, Nov. 5, 1857.
The issues to be decided by the
voters are renewal of a % mills
tax levy and $4,000 bond issue
for the purpose of purchasing real
estate Both items are classed as
necessary by the School board and
school administrators if the Lon
don Schools are to continue to pro-
gress and maintain the standards
they now have, according to an an
nouncement this week.
During the past five years, en-
rollment in the Public Schools has
increased by 346 pupils or nearly
the present enrolment in the High
School alone. Estimated enroll
ment for next year is $50 pupils in
the high school alone and probably
an $50 increase over all grades.
In the announcement it was stat
ed:
Increased enrollments bring in
creased costs which tax to the limit
present financial receipts of the
school. The 2.3 mills tax levy must
be renewed this year if funds are
to be available to meet school,
needs. Loss of the tax levy would
mean loss of about $4,000 in op.
Grating funds. A vote for the levy
will not increase present taxes.
THE $4,000 bond issue repre-.
sents chance in a life time fol

to the present school grounds is
available for that price. The pro.
perty held by a group of civic
