However, before the taxpayers en-i ter into any such plans it is wise I for them to make further investl-1 gatlon as to the cost of such an enterprise. The instance has been cited of' a case where the city of Green- 1 castle united with the surrounding township to effect a merger and consolidation, and reference has been made to the fact that the tax- I ation for school purposes in that i township-town corporation is at : the rate of SI.OO. Do not be misled by such statements. There are facts concerning the local situa- , tion in Monroe Township that should be considered, too. It is well for you to know that at present lhe school tax in Monroe Town- < ship is 84 cents. If the proposed

Revival Speaker o Rev. Lawrence E. Foudy. pastor of the Church of God. Nappanee. Indiana, will begin a series of revival meetings at the local Church of God on Cleveland street, Sunday night. school merger in Monroe Township and Berne could be operated at no greater cost than that in Greencastle, still the cost would be onefifth more than the present rate. But there are other factors entering into this comparison. No statement has been made public regarding the tax evaluation in much higher than the combined Berne - Monroe Township evaluation, however, for there are four railroads running through the township and through the city of Greencastle, and then, too, the population of Greencastle is much higher than Berne’s. In fact, the population of Greencastle is more than twice as large as that of Berne and Monroe combined. Also, the fact that DePauw University, a heavily endowed institution of higher learning, is located in that city would raise the value of property to no small degree. Therefore it is quite probable that the tax evaluation of the city of Greencastle is more than swice as much as Berne’s. Perhaps the township evaluation would not be greatly different. The tax evaluation of Berne and of Monroe Township

combined amounts to approximately $3,500,000. The tax evaluation of the Greencastle combination, will evidently amount to $5,000,000 and with four railroads holding property in the township and city, In all probability the evaluation for taxation will mount much higher than that. If the ussesseil evaluation Is greater, the tax rate will be proportionately lower to raise the same atndunt of revenue. Hence, the only fair comparison between Bny two systems of Instruction will be the "per pupil cost.” TherefoTb, it is rather elementary for anyone, whether he be schooled official or otherwise, to quote a mere tax rate and to judge from that alone the cost of a combina- [ tion experiment such as that at. i Greencastle would be more econI omical than the present arrangement in Monroe township. It is true that consolidation is i the popular move in these days. I Consolidation is considered a mark I of progress. It may be, and yet it may NOT be. No doubt whether or not it is a mark of progress will depend upon the person who is doing the thinking. At the present moment it may not be a mark of such progressive thinking when we realize that in all probability a new administration measure for public schools will develop before many years, or perhaps months. ! If a unit, larger than the township, is taken as the basis for school administration, township lines will be wiped out and greater efligiencome before a fifteen year bond iscy will result. Certainly this will sue could be paid (which is the plan for paying for the proposed building in the Berne- Monroe Township scheme.) It will be much wiser and more progressive to look into the future a little and to build plans accordingly. The News-Sentinel, Ft. Wayne, under date of February 12, 1937. carries a statement relative to the tax situation in Lafayette Township, Allen County, where a consolidated school is in operation. With that consolidation the tax rate is the highest of any township in the county. Consolidation has not reduced taxes for Lafayette township where the system has been in operation for a number of years. The statement declares, further, that the per pupil cost of instruction is SBO.OO, quite a high rate in comparison with the, Monroe Township cost. The average statement regarding lower taxes resulting from consolidation comes from ambitious school officials, not from the man who pays the bills. If you want to know how the taxpayer feels, go to Lafayette township, Allen county, and interview several farmers. Allen county is more than 100 miles closer home than Greencastle. Any interested person can find out for himself without taking for granted, the propaganda of the press. o WILLSHIRE NEWS Miss Thelma Brandon of Van Wert was a week-end guest of her sister, Mrs. Glen Spitler.

looked on as a stranger. It is a simple set, the entrance hall to Myrna’s home. A phonograph is playing "The Last Spring”. Director John M. Stahl believes in music to help his stars build up moods. Myrna Loy is standing off to one side listening. Gable, more relaxed, is talking to Donald Crisp and Edna May Oliver. "All right,” says Stahl, “let’s take it.” A property man on a catwalk starts the snow, which can be seen falling outside the windows on either side of the door. This movie snow is irritating to the nose and throat and Director Stahl puts on a mask. The actors naturally have to take it. Gable is outside in the snow. He gets out of a carriage and can be heard wearily mounting the steps, supported by Donald Crisp. Inside, Myrna and Edna May Oliver hurry to the door. Myrna flings it open. She sees Gable and with a cry, “My Darling”, she folds him in her arms. He speaks a few words to her and then slowly collapses to the floor, where Myrna cradles his head in her arms. Turning wildly to the others she calls “Help me! Help me!” Stahl stops the camera. It is a good scene, but he is one of Holly-

wood’s most careful workmen and will take another. Actors don’t mind this with Stahl. They listen to what he has to say. At the start of the picture, be even told Myrna Loy she didn’t know how to go into a man’s arms. “I always encourage a love affair between my stars,” he said to her. "Then they play their intimate scenes with more feeling." He was kidding, and she knew it, but it helped her to unbend. Now, you can take it from us, she melts into Gable’s arms like she belonged there. On an even smaller set, we watch Ginger Rogers and Fred Astaire rehearse a scene for "Stepping Toes”, It takes place inside an elevator, that is supposed to get stuck between floors. In some movie elevator scenes, the idea of motion is giver, by flicking lights and shadows on the faces of the players. In this one, however, there is a round grilled window on the side of the elevator, and a cyclorama (a belt of scenery on two rollers) creates the illusion of motion. Astaire and Ginger are a study in contrast when they are waiting for a scene to be made. Ginger takes it easy. Today, she sings a snatch of song—“ Pennies From Heaven”, from Bing Crosby’s recent hit. She stands quite calmly, while a hairdresser fusses with her coiffure and a wardrobe woman smooths out wrinkles in her white crepe evening gown, figured with large blue flowers. Astaire, as always, is nervous. He rehearses his dialog incessantly, trying it out with emphasis on different words. We have a hunch what is going to happen, and it does. When Director Mark Sandrich says shoot the scene, Fred blows on the lines he had been given too much time to rehearse. But Astaire could blow hundreds of lines and R-K-O wouldn’t be annoyed. Not after the millions of dollars it makes on his and Ginger’s pictures.
