She is working and buying a

a recent letter to his mother he
said he was going to stay in the

Itat'what his mother cannot
nnderstand is how the revenue

received $2,000 last year at

salary then. If 12 times $70
'makes $2,000, then hirs. My

Men leaving for service in

said in his letter of resignation
that he was entering the armed
services or some type of war
work. That vacancy today had
not been filled.
During the summer vacation
months many of the smaller
school houses in the county were
repainted and repaired. Build

-ai'.least .few tlis
duration of the war when no
building will be in progress.
School bus routes will operate
practically the same as last year,
no extensions or additions being
permitted on account of the
shortage of tires and ga.soIine.

ed to outfit the buses for the
routes and present plans call for
opening all schools on schedule
