cif the cyrna y v t otrter step forward georgetown nttejb0ers by giving a large major- v ity in the vote fpr a nesw public school have shown that they appreciate the fact that elementary education is of prirriarv concern to the wellbemg of s town while it is a sad fact that even a question involving a letrge sum of public money was of concern to less than fifty per- cent of the voters the majority of over three to one indicates that had the vote been uuger there would be no question of the new school being defeated hie school board has been given the confidence of the peo ple to go ahead and build the school as quickly as pos sible and the town council has at the same time been given authority to issue debentures to cover the j90- 000 expenditure there must have been many voters who lavoured the school even though they have no children or their children are past school age and will not be inneed of the extra facilities there were many who thought thntr these pvople would consider only the selfish aspect ot lower taxes thisjrva far from the fact and it is par- ticularlypleasing to know that a considerable majority of people realize that a growing town demands suclv things as

his trees the government he said would take no action because there were other insects which did more serious damage to crops and govern ment money is all spent on tfiis also the story is that the
