Chief Reynolds Bradley is call
ing upon the people of Smyrna

If proper precautions are taken,
however, fire may be avoided.
Particular attention should be
given to trees in churches and
schools.

School Board
Supports s9lO
State Unit Cost

The Smyrna Board of Edu-
cation at its regular monthly
meeting decided to dispense
with its usual December meet
ing which would occur during
the vacation week on Decem-
ber 9th. The Board will have
two meetings in January, how
ever, one on the 3rd and one
on the 3lst as previously an
nounced. The Smyrna Board
members were invited to attend
the College Homecoming Day
on which students from the
John Bassett Moore High School
who have post high school
education are invited to attend
afternoon school activities from
l2-4 p. M, December 10th. The
Smyrna Board of Education
went on record as supporting
the unit of $4,000 for all other
costs as requested by the State
Board of Education. No increase
in all other costs has been given
to the schools since 1856. In
the meantime, many costs of
operation have continued to in
crease. The Smyrna Schools,
along with many others, find
more and more money must be
taken from local funds for this
purpose where in 1856 the State
provided about 800 of this
cost. The Smyrna District feels
that the $9l0 will merely bring
the schools of the districts of
the State back to the level of
State support for such items as
textbooks, fuel oil, custodial
supplies, ETC., as they had in
1856. The Smyrna Board of
Education reviewed plans for
replacing the high school steps
at the front entry. These steps
are presently deteriorating bad
