Remember the days when we
could support the entire Mont.
gomery County school system
for less than $500 a year?
And when we county tax
payers were levied six cents on
every 500 of property we own
ed, for the support of our
schools? - Or when teachers
were paid the magnificent sum
of $50 every three months for
forming the young minds of the
nations future citizens?
Not likely, unless you were
around these parts before the
Civil War. For this is just a
sampling of the state of affairs
in the county 100 years ago,
brought to light in a historical
"find" unearthed by the Board
of Education in its move to new
quarters late last month.
School officials for years have
believed that the earliest records
of the School Board, dating
back to the establishment of the
Montgomery County school sys-
tenn in 1888, had been lost in a
fire which destroyed much Of
their headquarters in 1910.

Browsing through these

The minutes, handwritten in
the thin, serpentine script of an
other era, are almost illegible in
many portions of the yellowing
parchment pages. With 20/20
vision and little time to spare,
though, the reader will be re-.
warded with a picture of a time
and a way of life that will never
return.

| (AP). Benito Mussolini's
youngest son and Sophia Lor-

day in this picturesque North
Italian town near where the
late dictator's bullet-riddled
body was buried.
Hundreds of Fascist SYM
pathizers gathered at st. An

of Romano Mussolini, 33-year-
old jazz pianist, and beautiful
Maria Scicolone. %.
The crush at the wedding
became so great at one point

him, and a doctor gave him a

Many followers Of II Duce
wept during the ceremony
But the old days of fascism held
few memories for the bride and
groom. Romano was only
years old when his older
brothers, Vittorio and Bruno,
were dropping bombs in the
Ethiopian desert against the
troops of Emperor Halle Sc
laSsie.
Vittorio, who sought refuge
in Argentina after the war, was
not present at his brothers
wedding. He was attending the
wedding of his own daughter,
Adria, in Ghana.
Bruno was killed in a World
War II plane crash.
Edda Ciano, who was reputed
to be the Duce's favorite daugh-
ter during the heyday Of his
power, was reported on a cruise
to India. Edda was the wife of
Count Galeazzo Ciano, Musso-
lini's foreign minister. He was
executed on orders of the Duce
during World War II.
Romano's 31-year-old sister,
Anna Maria, and his mother,
