Each youth made a small pot and decorated it with Indian designs. All the remaining clay was used to make the big pot shown on the table with the smaller ones, and each child is using their individual pot as a Christmas gift. Each helped construct the coil pot which measured 12 and one-half inches in height before being fired in the school kiln. (Hie local PTO purchased the kiln several years ago.) Each child also helped decorate “Our Pot” with designs inspired by the art works of American Indians of the southwest as preserved in museums in that area. Reference for designs is “When Clay Sings” by Baylor and Bahti.

Lantz reports on fuel oil situation to school board

Lakeland Community School Corporation board members met in regular session Tuesday night and heard business manager Marion Lantz report on the fuel oil situation in the Lakeland schools. He said the corporation’s allocation for December has been reduced 10 per cent as have all other allocations. The schools were scheduled to receive 32,500 gallons prior to the end of the year, this has been reduced by 3,250 gallons, leaving 29,250 gallons available for delivery. Lantz continued by saying 6,500 gallons of this heating oil, number two, had recently been delivered to the Milford school. An additional 5 or 6,000 gallons more will be delivered there in December. The corporation can carry 10 per cent or approximately 3,225 gallons forward into January leaving 14,800 gallons at the present time with no place to store it. Lantz said old gasoline tanks could not be used unless the tanks are removed from the ground and flushed. He has found one place, however, where he can store 9,000 gallons. He is still looking for additional storage. As it looks now, 5,800 gallons would be the most the school corporation, could not take. Standard Oil is the present supplier with Gulf Oil becoming the supplier after the first of the year. Then, some of January’s oil can be backed into February if necessary. Lantz said Gulf was supplying the corporation’s gasoline, however, since they will no longer be operating in Indiana after January 1 they are currently looking for another supplier for the schools. Availability of gasoline, like other supplies, is on a day-to-day basis. Board member John Kroh asked Lantz how the corporation got its gas from storage to where they want it and was told Laketon Refinery moves it with one of their tankers. Dr. Robert Craig again questioned Lantz about additional tanks on school property in the future and was told he had been looking into some and would like to do more about obtaining additional tanks in January and February. Lantz said it would do no good to install tanks if fuel oil was not available. Lunch Prices Lantz told board members the net worth of the hot lunch program in the corporation had decreased $9,328 during the months of September, October and November. He investigated the program to see where the loss is and reported it is in the increasing price of food. Lantz asked fa* permission to raise lunch prices on January 7. Permission was granted. Grades one thru eight are currently being charged 40 cents. This will be raised to 45 cents. Grades nine thru 12 are currently paying 45 cents. They will pay 50 cents when school opens after the holidays. Adults are currently paying 60 cents. They will pay 70 cents. The a la carte line at the high school will also be increased accordingly. Asked about government assistance Lantz said the corporation is not getting some of the meat it was getting last year, otherwise it is about the same. Then too, the government is reimbursing Type A lunches at 8 cents. This has remained the same while food prices have increased. Other Business In other business before the board a quote from Delp Electric in an amount of $2,855 for wiring that will be necessary to convert the old ag shop at the high school into a woodworking shop. Delp did the wiring in the remodeling and additions during the recent construction and proved satisfactory. They also gave the

lowest quotation. Others considered were Williams Electric with a bid of $3,333 and Workinger Electric with a bid of $3,030. Superintendent Don H. Arnold asked fa permission to publish a legal notice to sell three lots belonging to the school corporation in the S. L. Ketring second addition to the town of Syracuse. The lots are being used by the building trades class of Wawasee high school for contraction of a home. One home is currently under construction and another will be built by a future class. The advertisement and sale of the lots to the holding corporation formed for the purpose of financing the house is in compliance with the state ruling that the title must be in the hands of those financing the project. When the house is finished and sold the profits from the project will be turned over to the school corporation. James Frey and Jack Vanderfad were approved by board members to appraise the property for the purpose of sale to the building trades class. Approval was given fa final certificate of payment to

Approval of final certificate of payment was given to Vick Trippel Plumbing and Heating, Inc., fa replacement of the boiler at North Webster in an amount of $3,260. Lantz said he had received a check in the amount of SB,IOO to cover cost of the replacement project.
