E-D I- Lu-R-I -A-L V Celebrating a holiday can be dene in many different way-. Many people use this time from work to visit friends and relatives. others have guests come tc their homes. Others are content t > do nothing, just take it easy and enjoy the day of leisure while still others fleck to the golf courses, beaches, fishing holes or what have you.. On a community basis, the towns of Walkerton and Nofth Liberty offer a day's entertainment to the people of the area. Their pregrams vary in style, but be,th are aimed at giving the people something to do. Highlight of the Fourth are the well-planned and supervised entertainment for the young and old alike. In North Liberty a large, entertaining and well-ma iagel parade was staged that attracted not only a let of viewer^, but a large number of participant.;. This parade is gi >wing each year and continues tc be larger in participation and interest each year. Games, contests and other entertainment occupies much of the remainder cf the day until the fireworks display at night. In Walkerton, the accent is more on the youth. Games and contests started. a b ! y day at neon and it continued strong until the last fireworks display was out. Os course, one big attraction is the midway. Each year a midway is brought to town to help with the entertainment and celebraUon of Waikertcn. They also have the sensati >nal balloon asrension and par ichute drop, an event that you can see every

year but still anxiously await it the next Fourth of July. / Ball games of the younger / group and a band concert keep f the center of the park going ail day. These are fine participating activities for those who can take part, but are also crowd pleasers for those who watch. These two programs, among the bdst for towns of any size, are the combined efforts of those who take an interest in the communities. The merchants and the , sendee organizations. Little appreciation is given to those who are responsible and do the work in these celebrations. It is fine for the people and in return fine for the town. Let’s hope they never cease. Voice of the People LET’S KEEP OLE TEACHERS With the passing of time and the resignation of too many teachers, I am wondering if it is not time for us as a community interested in the welfare of our children, to make seme concrete advancement in the wage scale of our tea< hers and administrators. Out of 1 I schools we rate 9th in tax rate. That is to say. out of every SIOO.OO of assesed eval, uaticn, $1.68 goes toward our teachers’ salaries. As of last year, New Carlisle, Knox. Lakeville, North Judson. Oregon. Hamlet North Liberty, Madiscn Twp., and Washington Clay paid a prin cipal of a high school a minimum of $7,600.00 and a high cf $9,000.00. while at Walkerton we paid our principal $7,200.00. As of last year, Bremen. Knox, North Judson, Clinton Hanna t LaPorte). Monroe-Winamac, paid a superintendent a minimum of $9,200.00

and a high of $11,200.00, while at Walkerton we paid $8,700.00 for a principal and superintendent combined. Eight of our teachers with more 4han 20 years experience could be making $1,100.00 more in Scuth Bend. A person can leave our school and go to Scuth Bend and in four years will be making as much as he would be making in twenty years at Walkerton. If we are interested Ln our children, now is the time to give some tangible evidence of this concern To find gcod teachers for our children and keep them, we must do the following: 1- Our community must be informed of the situation by someone who knows this field. 2. We, the people of Walkeiton, must attend the School Beat i meeting in July and express our interest and concern for the budget. (Last year five people came to this meeting.) 3. Prior to Aug 8. the budget will be pouted in the local papei for your information and approval. We must take the time to study this budget.

•1. The last Thursday in August the School Board will meet to approve the budget. We must show interest in this meeting. I write this article as one citizen of Walkerton who congratulated the School Board Tor doing such a fine job in a community of unconcerned pcx>ple. We cannot blame the School Board, the teachers or administrators for our own unconcern or lack of interest. Whatever the trouble may be. it is our own fa mt . Now is the time to support our School Boai-d and let them know we are interested In our school system. David D Owe> Service Motes CLARK AB.
