At the same time markets had six times as many hogs available.

"TOO LITTLE

A public-spirited, capable and forward looking School Board has presented to the citizens of Sullivan the serious need for better school buildings. At the same time, they submitted a definite long range plan and financial proposal to make better school buildings possible. Educational authorities worked with this fine School Board in determining the needs and a remedial program. Decisions of the best 'school minds in Indiana cities confronted with the same problem, were examined and appraised. The final solution was submitted to the citizens of Sullivan for action. Sullivan has over 5,000 citizens. About 1,575 are youths under 21 years of age. Five hundred and twenty-one objected by petition. The need was not questioned, an alternate or better plan was not offered, they simply objected. The integrity of the objectors is not to be questioned their full understanding of the problem is open for discussion. ; The School Board has seen fit to discontinue further action on the proposed plan anj tax levy. They feel it necessary to be guided by the expressed opinions of some 440 of the 521 objectors, who are representative of the great body of average citizens and taxpayers. ATTENTION SCHOOL BOARD! Twenty-nine hundred citizens, nearly seven times the number on which you base your decision, have not been heard from.- These twenty-nine hundred pay taxes in the same proportion to the 440. Until these twenty-nine hundred have spoken, there can be no true voice of Sullivan speaking about Sullivan's Schools. CONGRATULATIONS SCHOOL BOARD! Your load is a heavy one. Your alertness is to be commended. When aroused citizens ask why Sullivan is not better prepared educationally, it can not be said of you that you proposed TOO LITTLE TOO LATE. ,

Barkley urged Senators to avoid repititious and "threshing old straw" in debating the measure. Barkley and three other members of Congress's legislative "Big Four" told president Truman shortly before debate began that they hoped to push through OPA extension legislation satisfactory to him. Barkley said the president had assured him that he believed they were exerting their best efforts to pass an acceptable bill to replace the one Mr. Truman vetoed.

un rnce In Senate Ths measure up for debate would extend OPA in a modified form for one year, and would wipe out rent increases made since the old price law expired a week ago. The bill faces " rough going with the bitterest battle over new attempts to exempt meat, poultry and dairy products from ary price control. Senator , Joseph H.
