To divide or not divide is th ab
sorbing topic at Imbler which was
whetted to white heat today when a
large delegation of Imbler people ap
peared before County Judge Henry
and Commissioners immediately after
2 o'clock this afternoon. The meeting
was scheduled for 10 o'clock thU
morning but was scheduled for cause
and the later hour made It more con
venient for many to come, from Im
bler.;.;'', v : --...,..' .
The town's school district is divided
In theory and wants to be in fact. The
passage by a narrow margin of a bond
issue for a new high school, precipi
tated the Issue. The new high school
plans have been kiltered for the pres
ent year, but it is believed they may
come into reality next year.
As an upshot of the division of opin
ion as to the relative merits of a new
high school, the division question
arose. Good substantial citizens are
arrayed on either side and the ques
tion will be put to the county court
In all its phases this afternoon before
adjourning of the hearing is taken. It
Is a vital question to Imbler and has
come to be more absorbing than the
bumper apple and wheat crops.
