Minutes of previous meeting read ayd adopted. ' A large Delegation from the north end of Township was pres- ent: requesting that some action be taken regarding the delapitated condition of some of the schools, especially. Caesarea School. This school has been an evesore to school boards long before the Area was formed. It was built on a mud lot and foundation was built on Oak Planks. After a long discussion, the de- legation suggested that Caesarea school be scraped and a new school be built at Nestleton. The dele- gation did not think it wise to spend money , trying to .repair these old schools;*That had served their day and were outdated. The Chairman advised the dele- gation that the Board had for some time been giving serious and care- ful consideration as to what was best to do for the interests of all concerned. Repair the old schools for a time, build 2 schools or one Central School, fand had not as yet arrived at any decision, and weve quite willing to listen to any sug- gestipns from any organization or individual in any part of the Area.

Following this, Ca- therine Hall presented a fine eul- ogy of the King. She said, "The mourning of the nation is so deep and genuine because it is the true reflection of the heart of each cit- izen. When death of the great touches intimately thé hearts of the lowly, then the great man is truly great.
