foundries with signs as monies had been appropriated for signs this year which the town would have placed if the plan commission would see fit for a survey as to placing of signs Gray said he would take this under advisement at their next meeting. Wednesday Meeting Connolly inquired of Carl Myrick as to whether a new fire chief had been named and was advised they would be meeting on February 24. Syracuse fire chief for the past three years. Thomas Strickler, resigned his position effective on Sunday. Jan 31, due to business priorities. First assistant Myrick has assumed the duties of chief since this time. The board of trustees of the town held a.short meeting as the , board of finance and passed a resolution naming the State Bank of Syracuse remain as their place of depository of public funds. A brief discussion was held on extending a two-inch water line to the north in the alley-way between the Pickwick Theatre and McClintic apartments Further action was deferred pending investigation, but was mentioned the Pickwick Corp had inquired into this situation. Uptown Improvement Numerous suggestions and ideas were given on the Pickwick Block, including possibility of more off-street parking be made available for uptown residents. Areas under discussion for the off-street parking included the Hoopingarner property next door to the McClintic apartments (the empty lot and. where a residence dwelling is now situated!, the location on east Main street now housing the Syracuse License Branch building and adjacent building to the alley now used for a home dwelling, and the possibility of an upper level in the planning. atop business

buildings, if and when rebuilt, with entrance from the Huntington street side. Sharp added the lower Main street parking lot could be enlarged by at least; six-feet which is the approximate loss due to foundations at the front area. Also discussed was parking facilities on the upper level parking lot now in existence for service station equipment and uptown employees. Connolly said the board of trustees would stand on record in doing all that was possible in helping the uptown situation Much Chamber of Commerce interest was also shown in the project for improvement for uptown business. Water Completion Sharp reported the completion of water lines for the town. The project started in February’ of 1969 With funds still available, a request will granted for a fire hydrant to be placed near the elementary >nd junior high school and also a hydrant on Parkway Drive. It was noted the town has SB,OOO in funds which can not be touched unless used to construct a highway which leads to the county seat according to law. Estimates are to be obtained for improvement of a section of Boston street, either from the bridge to south Main street crossing or from the entrance to the school turn-off on Boston to the south Main crossing. This improvement would include storm sewers, curbing and sidewalks, plus resurfacing A rough estimate could run S4O to $50,000. AnKtfor improvement to be for the summer nionTfis would be resurfacing on south Main street and North street with April set as tentative date for a tour of the area by town board members. Parking One Side Definite action was tabled but is under advisemen; regarding posting of signs on south Main street along the east side for No Parking. New tables belonging to the town have been purchased are now in use at the scout cabin on south Huntington street. Tables belonging to the town burned in the New Year’s Day fire of the Pickwick Block, having been loaned to the local Jaycees for a New Year’s Eve party in Jaycee hall. The new tables will be marked as property of the town of Syracuse and it was agreed that any town tables and chairs will not be loaned to businesses, groups or individuals, and those presently at the scout cabin will remain there.

College Board Scores Defined

It is natural for parents and students to be anxious about admission to college They often view the College Board Examinations as an obstacle rather than a method to help place students in a college besli suited to them The result is that many commercial tutors and coaching schools ire flourishing ( They use manymethods son 1 a s t - m i n u t e preparation for the examinations Parents and students are led to believe that test scores can be substantially changed in a short period of time Six different studies have shown that scores on the aptitude section show only small gains averaging less than ten points. The achievement tests in specific subjects have not been studied in the same way. The College Board suggests that learning is a long-range process Understanding is brought about through a growing accumulation of learning. Shortcuts for improving test scores are generally useless Parents and students should resist the temptation to payfees to tutors and coaching schools for these doubtful practices In addition, an unrealistic score could lead to admission to a college in which the child may not be capable of success. What do the scores actually mean? What is a passing score? Actually, there is no passing grade The scores are reported to the colleges and they use them as they see fit. A score can range from a iow oh 200 to a high of 800 It has many meanings. Eight out of ten high school seniors achieve scores higher than 500 When you look at the group actually entering college. only 6 out of 10 achieve scores higher than 500 Let's look at the score of 500 in relation to entering students in two different colleges. At college A. which has high admission standards, about 98 per cent of the students score higher than 500. However, at college B. only about 57 per cent of the students have have scores of more than 500. Obviously, there would be a small chance of being admitted to college A with a score of 500 but a fairly reasonable chance at college B. A student with a score of 700 has a good chance to enter almost any college. This, of course, assumes that all other available information such as high school grades and recommendations indicate the same high level of ability and achievement Remember also that colleges consider social factors as well as participation in extracurricular activities On the other hand; a score of 350 does not mean that a student will be rejected by all colleges Even the very selective colleges accept some students with such scores if they show other evidence of a good chance for success. A score of 350 is higher than that achieved by 21 per cent of all students who do enter college

Most students who want to can attend college They should avoid placing restrictions if possible Some students do not want a particular college because it is not well known or because of location. Even under the present conditions of high enrollment and competition, there are vacancies which remain unfilled in certain colleges. Annual Report Given For Whitley tpunty Hospital An annual report by the Whitley county hospital reveals that the hospital served 4.377 bed patients in 1970 as compared with 4.020 during 1969. ‘Emergencyroom and outpatients numbered 9.067 as compared with 7,702 in the preceding year. The hospital provided a total of 25,716 patient days care for adults and children in 1970. with an average census of 71 patients. The average length of stay was 7 days. In addition 497 babies were born. 1.180 surgeries performed. 58.555 laboratory tests made, and 11.718 X-ray exams provided. The report was reviewed at the annual meeting of the hospital Board of Trustees held Thursday evening. Mr. Hilligoss board chairman, stated “The increased services rendered this year show a growing need and utilization of our hospital facilities. In spite of general inflation and increased costs, our hospital charges are among the lowest in Indiana and substantially below- that of the national average. Our present two-bed rate of S2B per day was established in 1968 and we don't contemplate any increase in the near future.” Rev. and Mrs. Carl Shearer.
