School Population
Shows Big Jump
A new census, completed by
Mrs. Dora Beaulieu, the district!
clerk, shows an enumeration of ।
557—311 boys and 246 girls. It
is to be noted that this is an
increase of 107 over last year,
or 23.7 per cent.
Census figures or the last six
years show almost a 70 per cent J
increase in school population:

450
1949
422
1948
370
1947
366
1946
309
1945
Noting the figures, it may be
pointed out that the increase
over last year is greater than in
any one of the proceeding five
years.
It might be further noted that
the age groups from 7 to 13,
inclusive, total 312, or an aver
age of 44.5 for each age group.
By actual figures “eight-year-
olds” include 52 and 9-year-olds,
38; with the rest of the age
groups ranging from 41 to 48.
It might be noted also that this
year the problem of increased
enrollment was cared for by the
renting of the Community church
basement to house a combined
first and second grade, and by
moving one section of the seventh
grade to the high school build
ing. Inasmuch as this year’s 8th
grade includes only one section,
and next year’s eighth grade will
include two sections, it will not
be possible to house any seventh
graders in the high school.
THURSDAY, NOVEMBER 30, 1950
Gift of expensive saddle last
Thursday surprised him until he
almost ‘'lost his speech”
knew’ of Rev. Mumbower’s love
of horesback riding, and coveted
his Palimino mare.
Kept at Bradley Page farm,
this horse gets her regular work
outs from there. One day Rev.
Mumbower missed the bit from
his bridle. In his complaint to a
few' of the “Wranglers,” much
sympathy was given. Thursday,
the truth came out when on the
new bridle was the missing bit.
Said Mrs. Mumbower, after the
presentation: “That horse has al
ways been a competitor—now I
presume I have no more chance.
That gift was one which he will
never forget—never.”

and the opportunities are out
standing.” they* told the Pilot.
“We feel that Christianity is es
pecially needed there right now
to provide a solid basis for Jap-

provided the sound basis for our
own democracry.”
The VanDolsons and their two

It was slightly more than a
