Play Id Safe

Spring is here again, and one of its great
benefits is that we no longer have to worry
about skidding to eternity on an icy sidewalk.
However, no season of the year is a safe

insurance company's records of claims paid

are by far the most common cause Of acci-

center centrally located in the northern dis
trict, probably in the Center township area.
There were about SO members of the
various boards in attendance and all were
in accord that something had to be DONE.
1t is impossible any longer for smaller
school districts to sit idly by until the state
steps in and tells them what to do
There were of course differences Of
opinion at the Thursday meeting for when
you get that many board members involved,
it is bound to happen.
But what is best for the entire Noble
county school system was the question up
permost in the minds of the individuals at
tending and it will be necessary to forget
some of the more personal opinions in the
overall picture
Supt. Secrest expressed himself as being
well pleased with the initial response and
the interest which is being manifested by the
board members in providing the best educa-
ton for their youngsters and for those in the
district which they serve.
If the northern district with one high
school jells, it will have an enrolment of ap-
proximately 1874 students with a tax valua-
ton of over Il million dollars.
At the present time in the proposed
northern district, Summerfield school has
the highest valuation amounting to $3110,-
000 This is due to the location of the Texas
Eastern Transmission station in that district.
They have a high school enrolment of "a
students but 25 of these come into the school
from Stock township.
The lowest high school enrolment in
the county is in Elk township, where SO stu
dents attend the Harriettsvile high school
It has tax valuation of 1912, 300
The state department of education says
that first class high school should have at
least 240 students enrolled and at the present
CIV oh i,, Nol>l
ty would qualify.
Merging of the separate districts is the
only solution and in the ensuing months, the
local boards as we'll as the county board will
come up with what they hope is a solution
to the existing problem and one that will
meet with the approval of the general pub
lie within the districts involved.

United Action

At Joint meeting of the Noble County
boards of education Thursday evening,
plans were discussed at great length rela-
tive to the consolidation of the various school
districts in this county.
These Individual districts have decided
that definite action must be taken this year
before the state department of education
steps in and places one or all OF the local
schools on a temporary charter and even
tually what happened at nearby Senecaville
and Lore City could easily happen here.
No community wants to lose their school
but if the possibility exists, then it is time
to take definite action.
At least that was the thinking Of the
various school board members who met
Thursday evening in the Common Pleas
courtroom to discuss their mutual problems,
under the guidance of Supt H. G. Secrest.
The most feasible solution offered was
tvo-fold. Either combine the entire county
into one district, as neighboring Morgan
county has done, with two centrally located
high schools or unite the various boards in
two districts.
Formation of a northern and southern
district seemed to be the most widely ac-
cepted by the boards.
The county board and Supt SecreSt
were given approval by the various boards
to start any action necessary along these
lines and get the ball rolling toward con-
crete solution.
There is very good possibility that the
formation of new district might be placed
on the ballot this fall At least the boards Of
education will be working toward this end.
A very definite feeling existed that the
county schools might as well forget about
Caldwell and they should proceed along
their own lines, without taking Caldwell in
to consideration
In the near future, the picture could
easily result in Noble county having two
school districts with Caldwell sitting right
in the middle.
In the event the two school districts
were consolidated, one centrally located
high school center would be at the present
building in Dexter City or at Southern Noble
and the other would be a new high school

it evil to give money to one tow

A HIDDEN CANCER

"Why didn't they operate?"
''Thev did, but it was too
late. When they cut out his
cancer they found another
Trey had not taken seriously
before. That killed him."
The above conversation might
have been heard in many
places wears ago, before the
the doctors found more effec-

cancer. The disease is far from
licked, but we have made pro-
gress, and in time the patient

There is the cancer of col
lectiviSm rotting eventually
into some form of communism.
There is the hidden cancer,
not hidden anv more, of labor
union monopoly which places
dictatorial power over the en-
tire American economy in the
hands of a few men. This has
already gone so far that. ac-
cording to Donald Richberg,
foremost authority on labor
unions, "Labor's economic
monopoly and political power
are preparing the way of Com
munism more effectively than
the Communists themselves"

that the most basic of rights

prevent ones doing so?

While we're on the subject of safety, it's
well to remember, too, that this spring as

and sometimes they're learned the hard way.
Be especially careful around the newcomers
who lack the mature judgment that comes
only with years of experience in traffic.
About one out of every five drivers in
the United States will be involved in an auto

will be killed.

LOST ART

One of the most frequent err
rands that a member of Con-
gress is called upon to fulfill
is furnishing information to con-
stituents. The inquiries are as
varied as are the type Of per-
sonalities found in the human
race. The answer to a great num-
Der of questions can be found in
pamphlets published by various
departments of the government.
The Department Of Agriculture
has list of publications which
covers a great many phases Of
farm and home life Recently,
/ received request from a rural
community for information with
regard to the processes for bak-
ing homemade bread. Baking
was a weekly practice in nearly
every home not more then a
generation or two ago and pro-
ficiency in this field was meas
ure Of a housewives ability.
Times have changed, and bread
making has, indeed, become
lost art in my household and
nearly every home with which
l am acquainted. However, this
evolution in the kitchen did not
prepare me for the shock of
learning that there are no longer
any government publications
dealing with homemade bread.

from Juniors in high school
inasmuch as the vacancies which
are currently being processed

scholastic and character require
ments are high and for that rea-

portunities this year is much
greater because l will have six
