Cubs Return
Home Safely
From Trip

"All's well that ends we'll"
= these words sum up the story
of the bus carrying approM-
mately twenty-five Clayton Cub
scouts on their way home from
Washington, Tuesday night.
The bus ran out of gas this
side of the Bay Bridge and the
driver of pickup truck stop
ped TO give aid. He drove the
school bus driver to get gas
and when returning he was
backing up near the school bus
when Maryland police charged
him with displaying an illegal
light on his vehicle, a white
light instead of red. However,
the police handled the situation
ina courteous manner.
The cubs, with Mrs. Samuel
Wallace, Austin Carey, and
Fred Del Vecchio as chaper-
ones left Clayton at 7 am. and
we're due back about 6 pm.
The parents became frantic
but were reassured on the ar
rival of the boys at o:55 pm.
The boys will now have a good
adventure story to tell their
friends.
The bus used was a contract
school bus driven by the owner.

To Fight

1.-THE cost of juvenile del
inquency is greater than the
cost of music training coupled
with an athletic program,
"Lewis W. Grubb, of Odessa

Lions Club Monday night.
He emphasized the impor-
tance of giving boys something
creative under guidance and
the challenge in that a COM
munity is only arid culrurally
If the people want it so. He
visualizes potential of a fif-
ty-voice boy choir.
1t costs less to keep them
out of crime, he continued, and
a positive attitude creates a
good citizen; the other road is
destructive.
The Lions have the ability
to "shape these boys" in the
way they are going. He added
weight to his thesis by quote:
''Teach a boy to blow a horn
and he will never blow safe";;
also, "there are no profession
al musicians In Sing Sing"

choir master at St. Peters

young boys, who after train

School Tax
Referendum
Planned For
We'd, May l

The Smyrna Board of Ed
ucation, at its meeting on A
pril 8, reduced the tax rate
for debt service by ST per
$l00 of assessed valuation for
1868. The new rate is Fl So
per $l00 of assessed valua-
ton, as compared to 26.5S le-
Wed In 1862.
The board also annom-
ced that a special referendum
will be held on May l In the
Smyrna Special School District
to determine whether or not an
additional TAX of l5f per Sl00
of assessed valuation shall be
levied for general school pur-
poses. The present authorized
tax rate for current expense is
l6.5f per Sl00 of assessed
valuation. If the additional tax
is authorized, the tax rate for
current expense for 1868 will
be 3l.5f per $l00 of assessed
valuation. Because the tax rate
for debt service has been re-
duced by ST, the total tax rate
for 1868 would be $50, or just
l0f more than the total tax
rate for 1862.
The Smyrna Board of Educa :
don and school administrators
are seriously considering the
advisability of conducting
closed lunch periods in all
schools of the District for 1863

policy will be formulated and
