Mrs. Muriel Thompson attended the conference on the exceptional child at Butler University recently. Mrs. Helen Hickok and Miss Helen Noel attended the conferences on the exceptional child and the kindergarten and elementary conference. Miss Helen Noel also attended the conference on techniques of guidance. Conferences at Butler vary from one to two weeks in length. - Speedway schools will open at 8:20 a. m. on Wednesday, September 3. Opening registration for students from the kindergarten through the twelfth grade will be held on September 3. New high school students in Speedway and all seniors who are doubtful in regard to their total program should report-to the high school principal’s office sometime between August 18 and August 29. Due to the large enrollment expected in kindergarten it will probably be impossible to accept children who live outside' the corporate limits of Speedway. It is likely that only students who report on September 3 will be accepted. A birth certificate will be necessary and should be obtained prior to September 3. The Speedway school board follows a policy of rotating its offices each year. Officers for the coming yean under this plan will be Robert Thomas, president; Robert Kryter, treasurer, and Winfield Wood, secretary. Plans for the new high school building are progressing rapidly. It is likely that a contract will be let sometime this fall. Harry Miller, 1703 Allison St,

The Eighth Person # By GEORGE S. BENSON BesUwt es Herding Ctolaga SecnEy.ArktDtßsa

DID YOU know that you’re working 10 days out of every month for the government? Well, you are. That is the extent to which we have allowed activities of the government to grow. Perhaps, as a nation, we can see that the business of government has expanded. But when we get to looking at the books, the chances are we find a good deal more mushrooming than we imagined. Look at this another way. If you may be considered an average person, you pay taxes at the same rate as if your employer paid you no wages ten days out of each month, hut instead paid the check over to the government. This comes from the fact that right now federal, state, and local taxes consume about one-third of all the dollars earned in the United States. That’s a burden on our necks that merits attention. You Are NOW, DON’T think Sharing you can get out of this by pleading innocent. You’re just a wage earner, you say? Not a high-bracket man who turns over three-fourths of his net income to the "government? Sure, you know the take is high, but you say he’s the man who does the squawking? Listen. While you may not be paying directly your ten days of wages to the government, you’re paying just the same. The bill is made out every fiscal year, and you are helping pay it. You are sharing the burden of the costs of government. Where does all this money go, you ask? Of course, we have a lot of expenditures in government, besides paying salaries and other kinds of allowances to in-

dividuals. Yet one out of every eight workers in America in 1939 drew his salary from the government. Leaving the city and state governments out of this picture, it is estimated that one out of every eight persons in the country is on the federal payroll right now in one form or another. Need A STAND EIGHT averPolicy age people together—one of them gets a. check regularly from Uncle Sami Amazing isn’t it ? And remember, you are footing the bill. This includes civilian employees, those receiving old age assistance, veterans, dependents of veterans, those in the army, navy and coast guard. This is a total of more than 16 million people receiving monthly checks from the United. States government. This means that every seven persons must supply a check for the eighth each month. It is indeed a difficult task to decide where to start cutting. But we must, for our nation is in danger. If we do not, we shall be in the position of the Roman Empire, which lasted only little more than 400 years. Rome had too many folks on her payroll. She was soon dust. It is not easy to say: “Whoa!** It is difficult to get out from under tax burdens once they’re yoked upon us. But we must adopt a definite policy of reducing government expenditures. We must free our industry, and investment capital as well, from the over-burden of taxes. We must have genuine prosperity. And when we keep asking the government to spend, let us remember that power-out-of-purse is soon power-out-of-hand. It’s an easy but sure way to national ruin.’ >
