make an effort to control the state conventions. If this is the case there may be several slates of delegates filed.’ U —-q_— If you haven't signed one of the hospital petitions being circulated by volunteer workers this week, please do so by Sunday. An effort is being made by those in charge to have at least 3.000 signers before the petitions are turuedJn next week. This is not a matter of personalities. The enquestion Is whether the people of Adams county want to properly care for their sick. The bond issue requested by the board’ of trustees of Adams county Memorial hospital will bring that board sufficient funds whereby the county hospital can be made one of the finest in northern Indiana. Our people are entitled to no less. 0 0 An effort is now under way to consolidate the school systems of Wabash and Jefferson townships at Geneva into a single system to be known as Sobth Adams consolidated school. The two township trustees and the advisory boards have taken preliminary steps to bring about this merger. Jhere is some opposition to the move In Jefferson township, which probably will be strong enough to warrant an eigfttion. Jefferson township has lonjrthken pride in its school system. The people of that township have operated a high school for many years. Recently it has become more difficult to obtain qualified teachers, but always when opening day rolls around in September Jefferson is ready to go. Consolidation has numerous advantages and perhaps'some disadvantages. All people of the county, who long have had a high Interest in the best public schools possible, are hopeful that if and when the question comes to a vote, Jefferson township citizens, will do what they honestly and conscientiously believe Is best for their children. Personalities and politics should be forgotten and welfare of each Young American of the township should be foremost in the voters’ minds.
