We're Going to Have a School T h e people of B rookings and H arb o r can be very proud, not only of th e ir decision to butld a new high school lo r theii ch ild ren , hut of the ov« rw helm ing m ajo rity th a t they gave th e m easu re. T he eight to one m argin by which the m easu re passed tells m ore convincingly th an an y th in g else how m uch we value th e w e lfa re of o u r ch ild ren here. And for the school board here, the vote m eans at least a slig h t easing of th e difficult position in w hich they found th e m selves. F aced w ith th e know ledge th a t th e schools we w ere co n d u ctin g w ere su b stan d ard , anti th re a te n e d by the im pending loss of school support funds w hich would have com pletely s h a t tere d o u r financial p ictu re, they m ust have know n m any a sleep less night as they aw aited th e decision of local voters. W e th ink, perhaps, th a t this election w as m ore th an ju st a vote co n cerning th e building of a s tru c tu re to house o u r children w hile th ey acquired an education. We th in k th e u n an im ity showm by th e voters in School D istrict 17C w as a vote of confi d ence in o u r th re e board m em bers, Mr. R ap raeg er, Mr. Golds- b erry and Mr, C rum p, th e ch airm an . C e rta in ly no school d is tric t to rn by dissension could have yielded re su lts show ing such u n an im ity as w as shown in this election. And we feel we owe a vote of th an k s, as m em bers of th is com m unity, to th e m en who have shepherded th e plans w hich have m eant so m uch to o u r youth. W G P We're Asking For a Census T h e recent request by th e B rookings C ity Council for a m id te rm census of this city re p re se n ts m ore th a n expanded city p rid e. It Is a very im p o rta n t m a tte r to th e city, financially, as w ell. N orm al censuses are ca rried out every ten years, w ith th e last re g u la r census here held in 1950. And. as any local citizen could tell you, a lot has happened around here since 1950 A larg e p art of th e city 's funds come from s ta te tax funds, p o rtio n ed to the ineor|H»raled cities of the s ta te aeeording to th e ir population. B r o k in g s has been receiving h er sh are of such funds according to th e 1950 census. . . and no one locally is satisfied w ith th at am ount. So w e’re asking for a new census, and all indications $re th a t the s ta te will he glad to carry it out. However, only one such census can he p erm itted , and the council is in a q u an d ry as to w h e th e r to do it now o r w ait until we grow som e more. But they think th e y ’ll do it now’. . . since the sooner we get th e added funds, the e a sie r it will be to spend them . N o one has any definite idea as to how m any people th ere a re in B rookings. . . hut th e re a re m ore th an th e re once was. And even if this didn’t help out th e financial end, w e’d still be aw fully an x ious to know how m any people we have now.
