Competition Should Improve Selections

With the filing deadl ne pad. 1J men have filed for the owing school board election of the Polk-Lincoln-Johnson School Corporation School Hoard. I his. to say the least, is encouraging. With contests assured in each of the three townships, it gives a more important duty to the voter at the May Primary election. It is the duty of the voter to determine who they want to handle the business of the school for the coming four years, as this election will be an important one in selecting this board. Running a school is strictly big business. One very encouraging factor i< that these men are running for this job out of desire to serve. Yes, they are paid for this, but no one is seeking tins job for tlie token salary of $125 00 per year they receive. Broken down into hourly pay. tills would not amount to much money for the men. The election of a school board for this area is of interest to ad, not just those who have children in school. The work and decisions of this board will eff.ct every taxpayer ui the three township area. Derisions of utmost Importance will face the board not only in the running of the school, but certainly to come up Is the future of the school in this district. The reorganization act that has set the wheels in motion for all of this merging of schools, was done for one purpose, to offer a better education to the students in the high school. Larger schools make a wider and more complete curriculum available for all. However, as long as the small high schools remain, this Is not available. Nothing Is combined but the financial end of it when the upper grades cannot be put into one building. There are two ways of meet-

Let's Raise Living Standards Now

The proposed sanitary sewer system for North Liberty. meAis more than improved health and increased property value. It means better living conditions for every family served by the new sewers. Without sanitary sewers, the standard of living in the community is not up to par . . . the benefits of running water are not more than half realized. The problems of waste disposal become more acute each day. After the sewers are in operation. all wastes are promptly and automatically carried away by a network of underground pipe to the disposal plant. This makes it possible for every family to enjoy the convenience of a modem bathroom. Even though your original hou.se plan may not have included a modem bathroom, there are very’ few houses in which space cannot be found for one. Suitable bathroom fixtures are available in a price range that fits comfortably into every family income. The bathroom is the source of personal clean!ine.-is. Bathrooms became a necessity in this

ing this situation. One, us course, is to bund t new sca,s>l for the higher grades. This has been done in m.uiy sections, but can be a very expensive jump right off the bat The other is to combine the upper graces in the present facilities available This is also be mg done in many areas as building funds are being started to be ready for the expansion that is in the future. The combining of two high schools in the Polk-Lineuln-Johnson district has been suggested by the North Central Conference. However, this is something that involves more than a system of transportation of students to make this possible. There is much to be worked out before this can be done, but one of the two alternatives must be reached in the near future. In addition to the normal running of a school, which is no small task in the most pleasant situations, these two decisions will face the new’ board. Many little jealousies and feelings will be hurt before it is over, but if the parents of the students will have enough sense to look past these feelings and realize that any su< h move in the future is for the bc>t and has not been done hastily, they certainly should be men and women enough to realize the importance this can have in the education of the students. The first step still remains to select the .school board in the May primary election. This will be Tuesday, May 5, and even though we have just torn of! the March sheet on the calendar, the date Is rapidly approaching. Take time to know the situation and the candidates ... it Is your responsibility as a parent or a taxpayer to express your choice in the coming election for school board as well as county, state and national candidates.

country long before the automobile ceased being a luxury. Bathing in a modern bathroom is a pleasure rather than a nuisance . . . and frequent bathing is a well known aid to better health. A sanitary toilet is appreciated by all. Here, too, is an essential to health, recognized as such in every’ modem community. Many hours of labor are removed from the shoulders of the housewife when the wastes from kitchen, laundry, washbowl, bathtub and toilet are drained off into sewers. Modem appliances, such as automatic washers, which may have been just a dream because of inadequate septic tank capacity, become a reality when municipal sewers serve the house. The comforts and better health made possible by sanitary sewers are also of prime imr>ortance in schools, public buildings and in every place of business. These conveniences are enjoyed by tens of millions of Americans and it is time the people of our community had i them too.
