Educationally, younger residents of the area may soon bo made aware of the long and very interesting history of their own county. As wo drove down a Mcllcnrv -.livrt OIK; dismal day last week, with no leaves on i •> uvos to ivIil\ • tno dral> noss of this in-botwoon season. wo couldn't help but notice the seemingly endless line of utility poles still decorated with i>olitieal advertising. They certainly must share the old quote: "There's nothing as outdated as yesterday's newspaper." And speaking of elections and newspapers. everyone knows that what some folks consider the choice news, never makes a paper. Much of it may be gossip, with or without much truth, but it appears that a certain percenter of the reaain„ public prefers this kind of reading. With the barrage of politi c a l l y - i n s p i r e d m a i l t h a t rcached our desk each week prior to the recent election, there would have been some mighty happy people if they could have read the disparaging remarks that never reached their way into print. I-t seems there's still no business like show business, and the politcal stage is the biggest of them ail!

School Tax Vote Reviewed (Continued From Page .1) transportation, and 5 cents for building maintenance. Without an increase, no new teachers can be employed and class sizes will have to be substantially larger. Salary increases cannotVbe considered. Desirable updating of the program, special education for children who need it, in-service teacher training, contemplated adult education courses, will have to be sacrificed. "Our financing is inadequate and out of date," said Dr. Bergstrom. "All possible taxing powers have been exhausted; we are at the limit of the authority voted in 1959. That is why a referendum is required now." Emphasizing the competitive nature of growth in our time, Dr. Bergstrom pointed out that the schools serve two basic functions. The individual child is better equipped to compete for the college and career of his choice with a sound basic education. At the same time, schools help the community which is competing for industry and pri- .yatg* development. "Education is one of the best investments, private or public, we can make," he believes. Set Date For Hospital Meet (Continued From Page 1) rectors include George P. Freund, president; Dr. George Alvary, vice-president; Joseph A. Conerty, Jr., secretary; O'Dean Cross, Sylvester Tonyan and Joseph Frett. The nominating committee consists of Mrs. Claude Mc- Dermott, Joseph A. Conerty, Jr., and Dr. Lee Gladstone. The building program that reached a climax June 1 with the admission of the first patient into the new part will be in the spotlight at the annual meeting, Conerty said. In February, 1962, Corcoran joined the hospital staff as administrator and the board took action within a few weeks to launch ' a building program. Ground was broken in September, 1964. An open house to show off the three-story, modern and functional building took place May 22, 1966. Open Rooms • Additional rooms have been opened gradually so that now the first and second floors and part of the third floor are in use. None of the 1965 building is in the present hospital. Only the maternity department and patient area and the old administrative area are used from the 1961 construction. The progressive care unit is geared to provide the exact nursing service and medical care a patient requires. With many fast-moving developments in hospital care, including the start of Medicare and nursing needs, this annual meeting promises to be an informative one. A speaker is being obtained as a feature part of the program. Sew With Iron If you're not sewing with your iron, you're not sewing the prof e s s i o n a l w a y .
