Thursday, April 19, 1957 ? . ^ &::0 t $#iA <k ' • *- 15 "1 ' " „'t4 V» . ,4 " J *• v - • *"• * ' s THE McHENRYPLAINDEALER 4 /'J ' Page Etarap J Richmond Community News Phyllto Carlson School Election e educational tax Ate will be raised because at the election last Saturday a good many of /qu voted. In the high school district, the vote was 293 to 212 in favor of the new rate and in the grade school district the vote was 188 to 114 in favor. We think one of the nicest things is that many more people voted this time than they did in Novembfj^ for in the grade school district the proposal was defeated by a vote of 81 to 69, a total of 150 votes. This time 302 people Voted. Now we can feel that come nefct fall our kids will not have to give up some of the things wh'.ch we have come to take for granted. This time all the voting took place at the liigh school, which seemed a more convenient way of voting. We hope you all took a iofck at the sheet posted on the office window when you went to vote. The salaries of the school employees certainly don't rate favorably with hourly rated factory workes, nor with many other kinds of laborers. To the high school board were elected Jerome Miller and Virgil Popenhagen. To the grade school beard were 6&fcted Roland Jackson, Eleanor Runyard and John Wilson. Women's Council speaker Miss Davison, speaker at last week's meeting of the Women's council of the Community church, was well received and was a most Vfcteresting speaker. She told of , ner European trip with entyfive churchwomen to England, France, Italy, etc. She visited the <»sa Mia center in Naples, Italy, where the people are learning many useful things--child care, sewing, and cleanliness. Here, too, the hungry are fed nutritious food. Guests from churches in Ringwood, Hebron and Genoa City came to hear Miss Davison speak. At the meeting were displayed many items which the Friendly 4^'rvice group of the Comrrun'ty church have been making. There were children's dresses, slips, sissy blouses, skirts, jeans and baby comforters. These items were made for the Indian Community House in Chicago, where nelp is given in the re-location of Indiaus.

Each den put on an Indian skit or stunt and dressed as Indians. TTiere were as many versions of Indian costumes as there were boys and everyone had a good time.

The theme for this month is "Swiss Family Robinson." The boys are looking forward to pretending they are shipwrecked and have to build shelters and find food to eat.
