The PTA’a resolution to the Board is as follows: - ‘- Several years ago the citizeps of Orange County voted a bond is sue for the construction of new school buildings in the county. Out of this issue was to copic funds .'or an elementary school bulki ng* for the Hillsboro school.. “Since that time vie have seen . new buildings constructed and oc cupied in several parts of the county. Classes are being taught in every niche and corner. Our elementary department has lost its accredited standing because of lack of proper classroom space. Teach ers and pupils cannot do their best under these conditions. “We realize time must be taken Tnd progress is slow in the origi nal .planning for,.a school build ing so we may get the best par- - gible for our money. We appre ciate all the efforts of the board in (he planning of this project but feel the time has come for more rapid and positive action toward .he completion of this building. “The Hillsboro PTA, therefore,’ ' asks that the Board put all its force behind the Cameron Park Elementary School project and have it ready to be occupied for he school year beginning in the PLAN CHRISTMAS LIGHTS _ Plans are underway by a group of Hillsboro Merchants , to lease Christmas decorative lights" for lighting the business district dur ing the pre-Christmas season.
