I PAGE EIGHT The World’s Best Climate County School Election Set For Next Monday Next Monday evening, April 18 at 7 o’clock, the voters of this area will vote on the question of exceeding the 6% limitation in me Curry county rural school district in amount of $14,179.27. Voting will be at the school. According to Lynn Hampton, and members of the school board, there is apparently a slight ad vantage in millage to District No. 17 in passing the excess due to the large evaluation of Gold Beach Union High school district and some others in relation to the number of pupils an 1 educa tional costs. For example, said Mr. Hamp ton, Gold Beach Union High has an evaluation of $1,676,710 foi 45 pupils. At the sami* pupil ra tio District No. 17 would have an evaluation of $3,353,420 icr high school purposes alone, but it has instead $1,217,670 lor both high and elementary education. As the budget was equalized by the rural l)oard, Gold Beach 45 was allowed $37,127.50 high school pupils or $780.61 per capital. If Brookings had been allow’ed the same per capita lor high school. Dist. No. 17 would have been allowed $$71,816.12. Actually, continued Mr. Hamp ton, Brookings was cut $13.724, to $82,696. Therefore if Brookings figured the same per-capita cost for high school purposes as Gold Beach was allowed, there would be left $10.879.88 to educate all of the Brookings elementary pu pils enrolled. Then Curry county rural board allowed the Gold Beach elemen tary district of which the chair man of the rural board is also chairman. $39.310.94, or $255.27 per-capital enrol led. If Brookings had ix'en allowed the same per- capita. If Brookings had been have been allow’ed $58,456.83 for elementary purposes. Subtracting the $10,879.88 men tioned in the paragraph above from this amount, Brookings lacks .95 of getting the same per-capita break as t h e chairman of the rural board’s home districts. ‘‘However, instead of asking for $130.272.95, which is same per-capita amount as Gold Beach, as finally awarded. Dist. No. 17 budget only requested $96,420, and the Curry county rural board, of w hich C. II. Young of Curry Coun ty Bank is chairman, saw fit to cut that $13,724.” However, concluded Mr. Hamp- ton. as is mentioned above, there still is apparently a slight mill- age advantage to Dist. No. 17 in the excess passing on a county Elaine LeClaire Is Scholarship Winner Elaine LeClaire received no tice this week that she had been a wank'd a 4-H scholarship to the 1919 summer school at Corvallis, by J. C. Penney Co., of Coquille, for her being first in the style review at the Curry county fair last fall. This summer school scholar ship is the last of several awards Elaine has received for her out- standing w’ork last year. On the dress she exhibited last fall, she received a blue ribbon and $4.50 at the county fair, and an all expense trip to Oregon State Fair at Salem. There she again received a blue ribbon and $10. She also w’on a scholarship to the 4-H summer school last year on the Chetco Grange fnuds. Heads Co. Drive Mrs. R. L. Erickson of Gold Beach, chairman of the Ameri can Cancer Society’s campaign in Curry county, is confident her group will go over the top before the campaign closes the end of April. Oregon's quota for the cam paign is $130,145 and Walter W. R. May of Oregon City, state chairman, has urged all-out sup port of the campaign so the so ciety can continue its vast pro grams in research and education. One-Act Plays Had Public Appeal, Fri. At High School Three one-act plays, staged by the juniors, seniors and speech class of the high school, were presented to a fair-sized crowd at the gym Friday. Triflin’.” staged by the speech ‘Cornin’ Round the Moun tain,” by the juniors and “Bird on the Wing,” by the seniors, had humor that the people thoroughly enjoyed.
