L. Bowen writes the TIMES as follows: "The public schools ef the Bunn District will open September 1, 1930. In order to make the first formal day of school count, we are planning to have our formal opening Friday af ternoon Augnst 29. At this formal opening on Friday afternoon, before school begins on the Monday follow ing. we shonld like for all of the pa rents to come and see to It that their children are looked after properly. We should like for this to be a real "get-togetber" meeting for teacher, children, and parents. Lessons will be assigned and b?ok lists given so .hat we can begin School properly on Mon day. May we urge the parents to come to this meeting because so many will not come later. Economy will be the watch-word in running the schools this year. We shall' not allow, however, this fact to cripple the efficiency of the work, but it is necessary that each of us see to it that we make the best pos sible use of the facilities that we have. The greatest economic loss In any school system is the lack of good at tendance and the "re-teaching" of re tarded pupil?. Now the fact that pu pil's repeat their work is largely due to non-attendance and lack of interest on the part cf the parents. Our at tendance for last year was remark able, in fact it was as good as we could ever expect. Are we going to allow the attendance to be lowered? We hope not. In actual- economic savings due to good attendance the Buthn school alone saved several thousands of dollars last year. We are anxious that every child of school age will be enrolled at the beginning of school and be kept in school regu larly during the entire year. Most parents feel the need of hav ing better things for their children. The best that a parent can do Is to give to the child every educational op portunity that is available. The su pervising principal feels like we? teachers, children, and parents, are going to pull together this year for the very best opportunities that we can offer for the children and the community. We have a great task where unthinkable responsibility lies, but where there are vast opportuni ties. And we can bear the respon sibilities and offer the opportunities If we will resolve new to put our shoulders to the task In a united ef fort to give to the boys and girls only the best and thereby bring out of young life the glory that Is In it i The principal will be at the High School butldlngMTbursday August 28 for the purpose of registering high school students. All eight grade stu dents come between ten and twelv* o'clqck iW *? {.tenth. and eleventh grade StAeiu conm between two thirty and nR cfeloCk in the afternoon. We are anxious to. get the registra tion complete during the day so that there will be no necessity for regis tering after the work begins.

Here the parasites breed 1q the, soil lor dust ?which contains some vegefeibli or an imal matter yet is protected-from the sun, rain and wind and gets ascertain amount of moisture. . , "We have had more-than the usual number of complaints about heavy Infestations of fleas in dwellings this past few weeks," says C. H. Brannon. extension entomologist at State Col lege. "Animals and poultry should be prevented from going under tho porch ahd the vegetable and organic natter usually found in such, places should be carefully cleaned out. When this is done the area should be tprayed with creosote oil and the ground where the Immature;fleas are developing should be thoroughly cov ered with salt and wet down." Mb Brannon says most infestations in dwelling houses are caused by pet animals allowed in the cellar or basement or permitted to lounge and sleep under the porch. The fleas breed rapidly in the dust and will quickly infest a house when the pets are permitted to come in after hav ing used the infested area. Such house infestations may be controlled by keeping out the animals and applying gasoline to the floors. The ruga should be removed and the floors thoroughly scrubbed- first, says Mr. Brannon. Applying derrts pow der to pet animals and washing them In a weak solution of saponfled creo sote or keroslne emulsion will des troy the fleas upon them. The skin tf cats Is tender and the dips or washes used must be milder than for dogs, he says. The year 1824 will go down In his tory as that of the "flyless summer," it is stated, hut there are still plenty of flies in the ointment. MR. WINGFIELD Wilt Be At Oar Store August 26th and 27th - .
