Pupil Population
Presents Problem
10 School Board
TO Discuss With
Heights P-T.A At
June Board Meeting

School Superintendent I. j Nc
nWalne told the members of the
Prince Edward county school boa d
that reduction in the number Of
teachers in the county for the neXl
session is absolutely necessary
because of substantial reductions in
state funds due to diminishing pupil
attendance
He estimates that there arc ap.
proximately 20 teaching positions
carried by the county With no spe
ciflc appropriation from the state
These teaching positions are very
costly to the county. and must be
reduced if possible. the superinten-
dent indicated
according to attendance figures,
reimbursement is allowed on part
Of the salaries for 100 of the county
teaching positions. but with some
reduction in daily attendance. the
number of positions may be cut
from 100 to as low as l04 next year
One Of the places that must yield
a teacher is the Darlington Heights
elementary school Rice and Wor
sham also face the loss Of one
teacher each There are currently
three c a c h er S at Darlington
Heights serving 80 pupils who are
spread out over seven grades. The
grades at Darlington Heights have
from five to nine pupils per grade
The number Of pupils is expected
TO drop next year making the re-
ducton even more mandatory
The state figures on the basis Of
one teacher per 80 pupils in the ele-
mentaiy grades
Go to Worsham
The ideal remedy from the adj
ministratiye viewpoint Of the school
board is TO transfer the elementary
students from Darlington Heights TO
Wofsham elementary school next
session. where the five 10 nine
pupils per grade can round out the
classes at Worsham, and thereby
save Worsh a m from losing
teacher also
The solution appears ideal from
the administrative viewpoint. but
school board member from Darling
ton Heights, George Shorter pre-
sented a resolution from the Oar
llngton Heights P-TA requesting
the school board to maintain the
elementary school al Darlington
Heights with the same number Of
teachers as are now employed, and
to grant a hearing to representa-
tlges of this school before max
ing any basic change that might
alter the present operation Of the
school I
In order 70 comply With the re-
quest Of the Darlington Heights
P-TA. the school board deferred
any action on the matter and desig-
mated the next m e ing Of the
school board as the time to meet
with representatives Of the Darling
ton Heights school and discuss the
situation The school board viii

USO, One of Groups Added to 1858
United Fund, Entertains Servicemen

It has often been said, There
is nothing like a home away
from home"
Nowhere is this saying more
true than in the many United
Service Organizations (USO) es-
tablished at home and abroad for
men serving in the various
branches of the service. To these
men the USO comes nearest to
providing the recreational, spiri-
tual and welfare facilities to
which they are accustomed.
Established in 1941, USO clubs
around the world soon became
a favorite "hang out" Regard
less of what form of relaxation
the men found on their off-duty
hours, the majority of them at
some time or another dropped in
to the USO, where they could
spend many happy leisure hours.
United Service Organizations
have been added as a member
agency to the 1858 Bluffton-Rich.
land United Fund. AS member
agency of the United Fund, the
USO will receive $82, if the goa
of 1892 for 1858 is reached.
| Among the agencies of the orig
inal United Service Organiza
tons were the YMCA, YWCA
Catholic Community Service
Salvation Army, Jewish Welfare
The Bluffton news. [volume] (Bluffton, Ohio) 1875-current, 1958-10-09

Board, and National Travellers
Aid association.
Most of the clubs and units
were set up close to camps or
training centers and industrial
centers.
Although USO clubs do not op-
crate today on a national basis
(the official organization was
terminated in 1880, there remain
many clubs that provide the
serviceman with the recreational,
spiritual and welfare facilities
that earmarked the original or
ganization.
You can keep someone dear tc
you or friend in "home away
from home" by giving what you
can - and as much as you can -
to the solicitor who contacts you
in the forthcoming United Fund
campaign.
