SCHOOL BOARD PLANS CALL FOR NEW STRUCTURE
NEW SCHOOL BUILDING TO BE ERECTED ON EAST WASHINGTON
The city school board is planning a new elementary school and a new’ senior high school building on cist Washington street, probably to be erected m 1956, it was disclosed today. The plan was disclosed when it w’as reported the three properties west of the football field have been considered and tne owners talked to about selling tc the school board. This ground will be sufficient acreage for state approval, which has been secured, there being about acres or more in the combined
tracts.
The elementary school building will contain cither sixteen or eighteen rooms and should be large enough to accommodate ad school children within the next 15 years or longer. It was also said the location is good because the concentration of school children is in the east section of the city and township, and when the new senior high school building is erected, many of the pupil? now drive to school instead ot walking, and this tract will afford them parking space and is off the main highway for traffic, and for the schools buses, so that there would not be the congestion that occurs dow’n town now. If the plans go through, and they more than likely will, the old Ridpath building will be abandoned and children going there now will he transferred to the new building or to other
schools.
The erection of the building will depend on the formation of a holding company to finance, and this might require slightly more time than if a bond issue were building the new school.

from industry.
The percentage of Hoosier income from manufacturing, Prof. Yoder finds, rose from 23.1 per cent in 1940 to 37.5 per cent in 1953. During the same period the proportion of total Hoosier income from agriculture remained about the same and the number of persons dependent on
farming declined.
Hoosier incomes in 1953, the last year for which figures are yet available, came 37.5 per cent from manufacturing, 22.3 from trade and service (a drop of four per cent since 1910), 7.2 from

Girl, 12, Spells Way To $16,000 NEW YORK. Aug. 24.—(UP) —Little Gloria Lockerman, the 12-year-old Negro spelling champ who ran her winnings to $16,000 on a TV giveaway show, rides back home to Baltimore today for some boning up with the dictionary and family conferences about her TV future. Gloria confidently spelled her way through a nonsense se’ - tence on CBS-TV's ''The $64,000 ! Question" to earn a possible shot | next Tuesday at $32,000. Indications were that Gloria would go for the bigger money. Her divorced parents, James Lockerman and Vivian Singleton, both of Philadelphia, seemed to favor a go-ahead. The answer that boosted Gloria to the $16,000 level on the quiz program was the spelling jf:: “The belligerent astigmatic anthropologist annihilated innumerable chrysanthemums.'’

Ike Opposed To Divided Germany PHILADELPHIA, Aug. 24 — (UP) — President Eisenhower said today the United States “can never accept” a divided Germany, Russian satellites and continued Communist subversion “as a part of the peace we desire and seek.” He also said this nation must not, in its “eagerness to avoid war,” make any agreement that would sell out “the freedom of (men for the pottage of a false peace.” Mr. Eisenhower said the United States asserted at Geneva — “and we shall always hold that there ca» be no true peace which involves acceptance of a status quo in which we find injustice to many nations, repressions of human beings on a gigantic scale, and constructive effort paralyzed in many ureas by
fear.”
"The spirit of Geneva, if it is to provide a healthy atmosphere for the pursuit of peace, if it i< to be genuine and not spurious, must inspire all to a correction of injustices, an observance o' human rights and an end to subversion organized on a worldwide scale,” he declared. “The division of Germany cannot be supported by any argument based on boundaries or language or racial origin. The domination of captive countries can no longer b< justified by any claim that this is needed for purposes of security. An international political n achine, operating within the borders of sovereign nations for their political and ideological subversion, cannot be explained away as a cultural movement. “In justice to others and to ourselves, we can never accept those wrongs a a part of tne peace that we desire and seek.” MAURI \GE LH ENSE Donald Rh- i An-tin, painter, Greencastle, and Annabcile Ellen Sears, student, Fillmore R. 1.
