Parking Problem
Still A Problem

There are still a few business or
employee cars parked on the main
business and side streets of Sid
ney. At the meeting of the Cham
Der of Commerce Merchants Com
mittee, last Monday, all agreed
that the business people Of Sidney
and their employees should park
their cars away from the main
business area.
Every business in Sidney should
encourage off street parking to
make room for the customers COM
ing into town. BY providing adeQ-
uate parking in the downtown
area. it will make shopping easier
for the customer and will encour-
age them and more, to make Sid
ney a better shopping area.
The majority Of our customers
would much prefer to find ade-
quate parking space without park
ing meters. This can only be ac-
complished by the cooperation Of
business men and their employees.

ST. LOMENA'S JOINS NATION
IN HONOR|NG OUR BLESSED LADY

A special Iridium of Prayer
will be held in st. Philomena's
Church, Sidney on Nov. 18th, 10th
and Goth, 1859 honoring Our Bless
sed Lady as Our National Patro-
ness. In the year l846 the Bishops
of the United States consecrated
the country to the Blessed Virgin
Mary under the title Of Her I'm
maculate Conception. Over a hum
dred years later, in thanksgiving
for the many benefits received
through her ~intersession, the
Catholics of America will present
to their National Patroness a great
gift-the National Shrine of the
Immaculate Conception.
In 1914 Pope Plus X = now
Saint Plus x : gave enthusiastic
approval to the contemplated bull
ding OF the National Shrine: How
highly We esteem this project We
need not say, since nothing could be
more useful to the Church or fur
Their more helpfully the welfare of
the Republic. When Plus x
wrote these words to his Eminence
James Cardinal Gibbons the build
ing of the Shrine was only a
dream in the minds of the Ameri-
can Bishops. However, six years
later, on Sept. 23rd, 1920 the cor
nerstone OF the masterpiece of
religious architecture" was laid
by Cardinal Gibbons The work of
digging excavations for the huge
building began on Sept. 18th, 1922.
Construction progressed steadily
until 1881, by which time the
North and South Crypts Of the
building - containing the beauti-
ful lower Church OF the Shrine
were completed. But at this point,
work came to a long halt due first
of all to the depression and later
TO World War II. Construction re-
sumed in the summer of 1855.
Now after a lapse Of almost half
q century, completion OF the
second great step in building the
Shrine has been achieved-the up
per Structure. 1t Is this achieve
ment that the Nov. goth ceremony
will formally acknowledge. and
celebrate.
The Shrine is one OF the seven
largest Churches in the world and
the largest Catholic Church in the
Nation. It is estimated that, when
finally completed, 1t will cost go
million; at present $18, soc, 900 has

The Boards Of Trustees Of School
District No. 5 and School District
No. ~ have adopted resolutions to
annex District No. "a to District
No. 5. Both boards adopted resolu-
tons by unanimous ballot. The
question will be submitted to the
people in each district for their
approval or disapproval. In School
District No. S, this election will be
held on Saturday, November 81,
from ZOO pm. to 900 pm, at the
elementary school.
School District No. "a has not
operated a school for about eight
years They have, by contract, been
bringing their school age pupils to
the Sidney Schools by Bus. They
have paid regular tuition during
that time.
Laws passed at the last legisla-
ture would require that District
No. "a be abandoned. The trustees
indicated that they wanted the en-
tire district to become a part of
School District No. S since their
affiliation has been with this dis
trict and they felt the best educa-
ton available was to be found in
the Sidney Public Schools.
The additional evaluation in
School District No. S which will
result from the annexation will
help in the financial structure of
the district. Present mill levies in
School District No. "a are 38.4465,
as compared with 38.7155 in
School District No. S.
The board of Trustees has ap-
proved the annexation and urge
voters to support this forward
step by both districts. Remember
