Lakeland School Board Meets Tuesday The Lakeland Community School board, in its second meeting since taking office, took certain official action relevant to conducting the business of the new school district. The meeting was held Tuesday night at the Syracuse school. One order of business was to locate office facilities for the new superintendent of the school district, Lewis S. Immel, separate and apart from either of the present four schools involved. The board discussed the handling of transfer students into the district, along with special education classes. No special education classes wil be held at the Milford school next year because of lack of room. The payment of bonds distcussed The board considered the levying of an accumulative building fund to take care of any building. Superintendent Immel said perhaps it would be three or four years until any new structure would be built, but a levy would give the school district some working capital when that time arrives. The state allows for levying of $1.25 in an accumulative building fund. The board appointed Mrs. Philip (Evelyn) Fawley as the superintendent’s secretary. She has been secretary to superintendent Immel for the past four years. The new superintendent was asked to meet with the several school principals in the school district to consider such problems as may arise for the next school year.

Milford Library Notes Due to the fact that so many children, who just completed their first year in school, were disappointed because they were not included in the summer reading program, the Milford librarians have decided to maintain a reading chart for them, and will issue them a reading certificate if they read ten or more books during the summer (June 4 to Aug. 4). So mothers and first graders, go to the library and register. The librarians will look forward to receiving cards from young and old this summer for the TRAVEL TREE. It is now up and ready for business. Thirty-nine first graders received their first library card during the month of May. A total of 1,325 books were placed in the various classes of the elementary school during the school year, with a known circulation of 4,218. Books in first and second grades as well as the special class, were used but no circulation records were kept. RESIDENTS OF WOODLAND AREA MEET TUESDAY Fifty-one resident of Washington and Monroe townships met with the county committee on school re-organization at the court house in Warsaw Tuesday night to see what can be done concerning the consolidation of the Monroe-Washington school district with that of Richland and EtnaTroy township in Whitley county. Members of the county committee present were John Augsburger, chairman, Marcus White, Ralph Brubaker, Carl Burt, Glen Whitehead and Raymond Gall. The county committee looked askance on any such arrangement since as chairman Augsburger pointed out, “What would we do with Jackson, Clay and Lake tonwships?” It was evident the petitioners from Monroe and Washington townships were keenly disappointed with the plan given them by the county committee. They voted against it 78 per cent in the May 8 election. No clear-cut decision was reached at the meeting as to what would be done. Leon Kubacki, Pierceton bank cashier, told the committee if the proposed Woodland plan were re-submitted it would be voted down by more than 78 per cent the next time. Augsburger said he could see nothing wrong with the proposed Woodland area, but that no effort had been made in that area to “sell” the plan. TO APPEAR ON FORT WAYNE TV STATION Miss Sally Jo Fosbrink, daughter of Mr. and Mrs. E. L.

Farm output per man hour is almost four times greater than in 1920 — due in large part to mechanization and the use of motor vehicles. CAN’T MATCH IT — An offer by a Fort Wayne brewery of its storage cellars for use as a shelter in a national emergency stirred the editor of The Angola Herald to speculate on what industries of that city might contribute. All the editor could think of was van abandoned milk condensery and the basement of a pop factory. DIG THIS — The town board of Winslow inserted this notice in The Pike County Dispatch: “It is strictly forbidden to dig fishing worms in ditches in the town of Winslow.” MUSEUM PIECE — A horse drawn steam fire engine, once the pride of the Aurora Fire Department, has been turned over to the Cincinnati Fire < Department for display in its museum of old fire fighting apparatus. The steam pumper was purchased by the city of Aurora in 1895. Under an agreement with the Cincinnati Department, the old pumper can be returned to Aurora for display in parades and other civic functions. BLOOPERS — In writing his column, “Personal and Otherwise” for The Pulaski County Journal, Dick Dodd had only to list a series of “goofs” made in recent issues. First he apologized to his son for leaving the boy’s name out of an article about school activities. Then he wondered how he could possibly have jammed two Tuesdays into one week as he did in reporting that a social club held its meetings on the “first and third Tuesdays of each week.” Finally he mentioned a reader had called his attention to a want ad offering for sale “a river sight on the Tippecanoe.’* Dodd wriggled out of this one by saying, “Os course it might be possible to cite a site that is a sight.

SAGE SAYING — In hlf column in The Putnam County GraphKenny Bennett wrote: '“The, average person Is as good as his 1 word, if be doesn’t talk too much,” THOUGHT PROVOKING — A report by the city controller that at least 1,000 Lafayette dog owners had failed to buy 1962 tags for their pets prompted Robert Cloyd Jr., editor of The Lafayette Leader, to editorialize on the subject, “The Business of Dogs.” Cloyd wrote: “Notice the dog food section in the supermarket the next time you are there. A small shelf sufficed for dog food in days gone by. Now there is a huge section devoted to dog food in great variety, ... And the most remarkable of the thoughts expressed here is the fact that so many people who apparently have an affection for dogs fail to buy a tag for their pet” TIME’S A WASTIN’ — Recalling that in the last two years there has a last minute rush to put up Christmas decorations along Main Street in downtown Dunkirk, the Dunkirk Lions Club in early Spring started a program to assure that the street will be properly decorated come next Christmas. It is enlisting the aid of other civic organizations with the announced purpose of making Dunkirk “the best lighted town in Indiana” in future holiday sea-, sons. HI NEIGHBOR — A Delphi man, Wayne Talbert, upon retiring from a business trip to Akron, 0., told The Delphi Citizen of his experience in a hotel in the Ohio city. Talbert said he checked in late and when he went to his room a policeman was standing in front of the door of the room next to his. Talbert said he asked the policeman, “What’s up?” The officer gave him the short answer, “Nothing.” Still curious, Talbert inquired of the desk clerk next morning and learned the officer had been assigned to guard the room j of Actress Joan Crawford, who I was making a personal appearance in Akron, and protect her from intrusion by impetuous admirers or autograph seekers.
