Lucius D. Clay and Gen. •u sir Brian Robertson, the United d States and British commanders in Germany, jointly announced l . f the decision to keep their reprer sentatives away from the subit committee meetings of the conc. trol council. >■ The status of the council was thrown into doubt by a walkout of a meeting last Saturday by the Soviet delegation headed by Mar- - shal Vassily D. Sokolovsky, the I: Soviet military governor. ’ Since then the Russians have boycotted a number of meetings J of various divisions of the council. Clay and Robertson issued the announcement after they met at Lancester House, the seat of the I British military government here.

Have you checked-up on your blood strength lately? Overwork, undue worry, cold, flu or other illness often wears down the red-blood-cells. Every day—every hour—millions of tiny red-blood-cells must pour forth from the marrow of your bones to replace those that are worn-out.

To get real relief you must keep up your blood strength. Medical authorities, by analysis of the blood, have by positive proof shown that SSS Tonic is amazingly effective in building up low blood strength In non-organlc nutritional anemia.

School Consolidation Problem Discussed By Star Columnist

(By Lyman L. Hann) In view of the great amount of attention the Adams county board of education has given in the •past year to the problem of the consolidation of the schools of B the county, the comment of Mau- ' rice Early in his column “The Day 1 in Indiana,” March 22, is especially- timelv. He, as well as a num--1 ' her of other prominent representa1 fives of the Indianapolis press, was present last Thursday at the ' dinner in the Riley room of the 1 Claypool hotel that launched the ’ work of the Indiana school study 1 commission, and his comments indicate that he was impressed by the scope of the work being undertaken to determine just what inajbe right or wrong with Indiana schools and what may reasonably be done to improve them. The proposal that the county board placed before the people of Adams county at their last meeting is in line with the suggestions in Mr. Early’s article. It may be I pertinent to note that this proposal is an honest attempt to have the people of the county, through their elected officials, solve the school

problem without too much intervention of any state commission or other agency. We shall hope to profit by the recommendations finally made by this Indiana school study commission, made up of some 32 prominent lay people of the state and 24 educators. But it is felt that the greatest responsibility fbr deciding on a plan that will give us better schools in Adams county rests with our own. people. We are clinging to the much publicised “Home Rule.” but rule by a large enough unit to manage ’ the school problem efficiently and economically. The comments of Mr. Early are quoted in full: “Since the coming of the motor age all study commissions have decided that the township school system is wasteful and inefficient. That is easy to prove, but it does I

not take into consideration the human element —the attachment of persons in a community to their schools. „ “Therefore the newly organized Indiana School Study commission is to tackle this problem to determine whether the proposal for the union of the township schools into a county unit can ever be brought about. Under the 1947 law, permitting counties to establish a county school system, only one county out of the 92 has adopted it. “In view of this apparent local hostility to the abandonment of the township school unit, the school committee's researchers are to explore the question. “Does the 1947 county school corporation law tend to promote or to hinder desirable consolidations?” The word “desirable” is underlined. “Numerous small high schools will feel a financial sting by the state. These schools are so small and so costly that the state has been allowing them more than their share of state funds. That ■ practice has been discontinued. r I “Patrons who insist on maintain- 1 ing these schools for sentimental or other reasons may change their ' minds when they pay increased 1

s property taxes this year. I “Thirteen years ago the Indiana ’ ' committee on governmental econ- ' omy called attention to the fact ’ that small schools are an educational handicap to the children and they are unduely costly. “That committee said there frequently is no relationship between township boundaries and the problems of education. It recommended that rural schools be managed by a county board and that they be supported by a county tax rate. It was not until 12 years later that a permissive law was passed and it is being ignored. “People are talking about one world, a Hoosier educator remarked. but some don’t want one county. in matters of education.”
