Boards of ^ •hiLtttion from city and rural dis- -trfets Will be present and the general Iribtic is Invited and urged to attend. ; The important question to be answered at this meeting is whether «r not it is desii«d that the formn- Hm of a unit district be submitted to a vote. Three weeks ago members '«€ the various boards met and decided to allow a period of time »r "vMdi to hold load meetings and Miu mine the wishes of the majprity «t the people. The discussions resulted in three communities voting allKMt solidly in favor of the pro- Med plan, a fourth voting against «• plan and a fifth not yet reported. |«ir Lake, Lincoln district and Johnsianr expressed themselves in favor of local consolidation, while Wonder Xake indicated that it prefers to retain its own district. Ringwood has adwduled a meeting to be held this N. C. KLEIN, 81 SUCCUMBS AFTER SHORT ILLNESS Should the attendance at Monday's meeting show a decided preference f&r the plan, outlines of the new £btrict must be decided upon. They WMld probably follow, with a few ^Deceptions, the present high school district lines. Should any rural comannities decide against the consolidation, non-high school territories would be required to pay tuition for its students as they become of high school age. If the majority of the districts deaide against consolidation, the present system would be continued. Revolutionary Move , The unit system has recently been advocated throughout the state as a .method of correcting existing prob- > lems, especially in rural schools. Nevertheless, the public is aware of the fact that it is a revolutionary laove which calls for but one board of education in place of the several •which now govern rural and city schools. It is expected that attendance units will be maintained in the larger districts even if the new plan is •voted in. The lower grades would be ^instructed at these centers, while -the junior high students would be Ihoased in the grade school building. This week the kindergarten pupils asoved into their new rooms in the ." Cristy house, providing more space in the school and also allowing the physical education program to be resumed. By next fall , it would be possible to provide a room for first .grade pupils in another section of tiie Cristy house, thus providing ample space in the grade school for junior high students until a building paoject is undertaken. If you have some constructive thoughts on the subject of Consolidation, or if you care to have your questions answered, you are urged to be present at next Monday's meetthe last to take place iT~f«nt matter. * i» > " -- <J McHenry friehds heard with regret of the death on Tuesday, March 2, 1948, of N.

The most cheerful news which greeted us this week was the announcement of Mrs. Ben Dietz, of East Jtiver Road that a brave little robin had misjudged the approach of warm weather $nd returned north. This harbinger of spring arrived on Monday and continued to remain in the Dietz yard throughout the snow storm and enjoyed the scraps food thrown to it. Even the weather optomists arose with gloomy faces on Tuesday to find that only by vigorous exercise with a shovel could they hope t% emerge from their drifted driveways. Snow plows worked on city and state roads throughout the day, and far into the .night the sound of the mighty machines could be heard taking excecss of snow from local streets. The light rain during the afternoon made driving even more hasardous by coating the packed snow with a thin layer of ice. Because of extreme care exercised by most drivers, no serious accidents were reported in this immediate vicinity. Some people ace just naturally cheerful even with the-odds against them. We've heard a few optomistic souls who are sure that this to winter's last call in spite of the fact that the weatherman has forecast more of the same weather la(e this week.
