The .school bus ruling under the ‘ new State school system which has caused quite a bit of dissatisfaction aniong school patrons of Cleveland county since the opening of the rural schools ras not a ruling of I either local school authorities or' the State School Cimmission.

Reason For The 20c Tax Asked In City School Vote Teachers Will Take SO Par Cent Salary Out—Valuation Cut Figures In The Rate. (Another of a series of artic les on the proposed 30c special school tas levy for the ninth I month term in Shelby. This statement la Issued by the OHy School Board.) "Is the local tax of JOc. which Is being asked by the School Board In line with the obligations under the new set-up? “Yes. During the past two years in which the state has operated the schools for the six months’ term. tne local or supplementary cost has been divided Into lour almost ex actly equal parts; namely, one fourth to supplement the state term; one-fourth for each of the three extended term months. "Inasmuch as two months’ term has been assumed by the state, the local costs should be approximately one-half of what it has been. Therefore, on the same valuation a tax rate of 15c would be relatively the same provision that we have previously had. But cutting the valuation 35 per cent the rate would have to be Increased to ex actly 20c In order to produce as much on the reduced valuation as was formerly produced by a 15c rate on the unreduced valuation. (One man who is working with the list ing of the taxes predicts that the valuation will be cut 30 per cent.) "But you ask, "Will not the sup plementary cost for the state term be Increased by the increase of the state term from six to eight months?” “Yes, on the other hand though, teachers will take their 30 per cent salary cut for the ninth month Just as they have for the other eight. This, it is believed, will bal ance the other Increases. “Let It be said again that the 30c you are asked to vote Is not a levy but a maximum limit. Three Boards will have to pass on wheth er a 20c levy is needed or whether a lower levy will be sufficient." onelby Women Enthusiastic For N R A Program; To Support Drive Are Unorganised Bui They Do The Shopping And Are Keeping Their Eye* Open. "Get the women folks stirred up, and you better watch out," is a saying in these parts almost as old as the hills about town. Just now the women of the Shel by are stirred up, really enthusiast ic, about the NR A program for re viving business and as a result the recovery drive promises to click with more speed and with more precision in this section than it possibly could have under any other circumstances. The reason is that the women do a majority of the buying and when occasion demands they can be pret ty independent about it. They are careful about their pennies, and are by instinct and trading good penny savers. but when they think the, are doing the right thing, or tha' somebody else tent, it’s another story. All over Shelby and section this week the major topic of conversa tion has been the 40 hour week and better-wage program. It’s the main talk among working people, employ es, men and women. Shelby and Cleveland county business houses and firms stepped In behind the program in an admirable manner. By their prompt action and coop eration they expressed the view, “Mr. President, we are with you” in stronger terms than words could convey. Most of them did so vol untarily, willingly, and eagerly, but as one business man put It: “If we hadn’t we would have caught heck from the women. They believe in the recovery program and If ve < hadn’t, it would have been just too i bad by the time they got through j< turning up their noses and passing ' us bv. And we’ll be sticking to r for that very same reason." -1 Business Firms Now Under NBA Code For Short Day And Week Business Shelby Gives Enthusiastic Support To Recovery Drive At Monday Nighl Meeting. Other Towns Cooperating. Means Employment For More People and Shorter Hours.
