way. There is the possibility now of obtaining u 46 per cent government grant, which would make the total necessary from taxation to be about $33,000. This amount could be raised by the township In its present financial situation, should i the citizens desire It. The school i township now has bonds and noten ' outstanding in the amount of $1,400 1 ami which will be paid off by 1939. Mr. High stated that the Increase I In the tax levy would probably not I be excessive inasmuch as the govI ernment requires that the bonds ■ bear not more than three per cent . interest and be paid off in a period | of from 15 to 20 years. New Buses Required A reduction In administrative | overhead and fuel would off-set to ; a large extent the necessity of the purchase of four new buses, lie said that this reduction would l make It possible to pay for a bus each year. The proposed plan is to have two classes in each room with one teacher. This would enable teachers to give more attention to each class, in as much as they now quell I have eight grades. It would also | be possible to give the pupils better educational equipment as well as more sanitary and healthful conditions. Trustee High, said today he did not wjsh to influence the citizens of the township in either way. He said he will file an application tor a new building providing at least 51 percent and preferably 70 per cent of the citizens and the three members of the township advisory board: Harve Beery, president; John Borne, secretary, and Samuel Henscheu. sign a petition requesting him to do so.

Trustee High urged that action be taken immediately, for government grants. He said because of the diminishing funds that if the citizens followed the trend towards consolidation several years from now, after govern- , meut grants are not available, they would have to raise the entire amount in addition to taking care of the probable higher building costs. Thus to do it at a late? date would mean that the farmers would have to receive $2 a bushel for corn, S2O for hogs, etc., to do so as advantageously as could Ite done today.

| union in every mill in the nation. Bolstered by a contract recog nizing the Amalgamated Association of Iron, Steel and Tin workers in Carnegie-Illinois corporation's 27 plants. John L. Lewis prepared immediately to seek similar agree inents with all other United States Steel affiliates and then approach the independent operators. Simultaneously, William Green, president of the American Federation of Labor, told the United Press in a telephone interview from Coshocton. 0., that he considered establishment of the 40-hour week in the industry "very decided progress." Secretary of Labor Frances Pergins hailed th“ Carnegie-Illinois contract as “the most important victory in recent years for the principle of collective bargaining in this country." Green made bls first comment upon swift developments in the steel industry which included widespread accordance of a $5 minimum daily wage and to-hour week and recognition by a U. S. Steel subsidiary of at) 'outside” union for the first time in its 36 years of existence. "The establishment of the 40hour week will represent very decided progress." Green said. "It will make it possible for the steel industry to comply with the Walsh-Healey act. "However, as I understand the ' situation now, the steel companies [ announced the 40-hour week they just gave it. As for the CarnegieIllinois contract, there's a lot to he said about it. Os course it isn't entirely pleasing to me. "We always like to see them | (steel workers) win their struggle to be (he sole collective bargaining j agency." "This is the most important vie-' tory in recent years for the principle of collective bargaining in this i country,'' Miss Perkins said. “1 . am especially grateful that the agreement was so peaceably and ' quickly arrived at. "It is probably the first step to- I ward voluntary recognition of the ■ collective bargaining principle in a ; great mass-production industry as j the best solution of management - ! labor difficulties. What this con- | tract represents is a more modern ! and statesmanlike attitude in labor : relations.” o Trade in a Good Town—Decatur.

REBEL TROOPS (CONTINUED FROM PAGE ONE) ron toward Morata where was concentrated the pick or tile government troops. Another nationalist force pushed its way from Mffranosa, just south of Madrid, toward Perales. The fighting, which began about 8:30 p. m. last night, continued throughout the night witn Heavy losses being reported on both sides. There was no appreciable . change in the lines at daylight. The loyalist high command viewed the nationalist offensive as a race against time, feeling that, each army must now strike a decisive blow before it runs out of food, munitions and man power because of the international neutral control on the Spanish boarders. o OPPONENTS TO ■ (CONTINUED FROM PAGE ONE) nitely decided who would be call- . cd. The administration pressed its campaign to rally support for the court bill. Leaders reiterated that they expected tile measure to pass both houses of congress. Consolidation of farm support by the president’s suupporters continued to present one of their greatest difficulties, despite their

confident predictions that agrarian sentiment would support the administration. Burke sharply disagreed with such claims, asserting that the farmers would never support the Supreme Court enlargement proposal. Chairman Hugo L. Black, D., Ala., of the lobby investigating committee, declined to say whether his group planned to investigate what majority leader Joseph T. Robinson termed as “unfair and dishonest" propaganda campaign against the court bill. Robinson had attacked activities of a Kansas preacher who sent form letters to many persons enclosing pink, blue and green slips which were to be sent to congressmen in protest against court enlargement. — o Flood Relief Bill Drastically Changed Indianapolis, Ind . March 3 —(UP) —A measure to appropriate $2,225,000 for relief of flood stricken cities along the Ohio river was amended drastically today by Sen. Claude B. Mcßride, D„ Jeffensonville, the author.

Let’s go to town —at home! NO TELLING what tomorrow’s weather may be. It fools the best forecasters. But we do want that chintz for the windows. We do need a carpet sweeper, a new percolator, and a new end-table in the living-room. And we don’t want to slosh around rainy streets to hunt them. Problem: How to thwart the weather man. Simple enough! Let's sit down by the fireplace and read the advertisements. Here it’s comfortable and snug. We’ll take the newspaper page by page, compare prices, qualities, brand-names. Tomorrow, rain or shine, we’ll head for the store that has what we want, and be home again in a jiffy. “Buying at home”—through the advertising columns—gives you wide selection, more time to decide, and satisfaction when you decide. Make it one of your pleasant habits!
