Sixth and seventh graders preschedule in May (they will be seventh and eighth graders that September) so the basic schedule plan can be made up. Individual schedules are then made out for each student. But there are always some adjustments to be made, new students enroll, and some move away. Class loads must be kept as even as possible so both teacher and student can work as efficiently as possible. Willamina Grade School again has a number of students new to the district. Coming from many different schools they contribute from a wider background of experiences to our understanding. Early in October the SULA, tests were given to students at G.ILEJ5. and W.GJ5. These are highly qualified achievement te sts and the students are encouraged to do th eir best during the test in order that the scores be an accurate measure of th eir knowledge of the subjects. Sheridan j B Building perm its in Sheridan during October totalled $24,436. Mr. and M rs. Kenneth Knutson and M rs.

When my sis and I were in grade school we found a neat spring (we thought) and we used to dam it up and reave one side open to form the falls. We used to get unhappy at Grandpa when he would get out there with a shovel and unclog his pasture drain after it had backed up deep in the cow's watering hole!] Of course, after he was out of sight and sometimes a few days la te r, we built our beautiful feats of construction again.

If there ever was a day when the people of America should be thankful, this is the tim e. Another wo^ld war has been averted — a war in which some of us might have been compelled to take part — and no democracy wants war. We see the newspapers supressed and the editors imprisoned if they dare to print what the dictators want to keep secret. The people are denied all infor mation of what their ru lers are doing. F raternal societies and clubs are for bidden to meet. The church is under a ban, p riests and m inisters are jailed for preaching what displeases the ru lers. Nat ional boundaries are armed and patrolled. Compare our own situation with the above. In America, every man thinks, speaks, w rites and publishes whatever he thinks, subject only to the law pro tecting the rights of others. We worship as we wish. No matter what our faith. — All are equal here. We conduct whatever clubs and societies we wish. We Americans have the highest stan dard of living the world has ever known. Nothing can ever take away the lib e r ties of our people but the people them- Thursday, Thanksgiving day, let ire thanks and pray that our Amer- iay keep the liberties that we have. by BETH GUNDERSON No m atter how well you manage the day after day routine, a popular notion floating around is that a c risis is the real test of a person. Maybe. A big to-do comes along and anyone is able to manage something even if it is hiding in the closet with the door open. It is all those not so world shaking events that try me the most. Such as the cool night we had a cozy fire in the fireplace and R.T. was getting ready to roast marshmallows. We heard a rolling whooshing noise like a rocket blast off, so I checked outside. Flames were whirling and winding about the chimney top like the 4th of July. So, CALMLY I told R.T. to tell Bumper to get out of the bathtub because the house was on fire. Squealing on the top of his voice, he ran. I told Charlie to get the coats for everyone to evacuate the pre mises. I even talked like that. After dialing incorrectly twice, I told the woman at the fire department switchboard we had a small chimney fire. She clicked her tongue and took our address. Bumper answered R.T.*s warning with a sarcastic "Oh, sure it is " and stayed in the tub. Charlie couldn't find my coat and brought me a blanket to wrap up in. He and R.T. went - out of the house to watch. The police had arrived with lights flashing to direct traffic at the intersect ion. Sirens were wailing closer and I was pounding on the bathroom door giving Bumper what fo r. As every piece of fire equipment the city owned including the salvage truck, an ambulance and the news caster from the local radio station pulled up with a ro ar, he believed me. I es corted Bumper outdoors wild eyed, wet and wearing my coat. The fire was out before the first hose was unrolled. I spent the next half hour answering questions while firemen crawled over the roof and peeked down the chimney. I said hello to people I hadn't seen in months and some I had never seen before in my life. R.T. got so excited he lost his dinner. Bumper pretended he didn't know any one and those crazy people were no relation to him. Charlie kept trying to help me keep my blanket around my shoulders as I talked with the firemen who were packing to leave. When everyone was gone, I counted heads as I herded the boys inside. There was still a cozy fire in the fireplace. The reading lamp was lit and the room was as we left it. Almost. I put back the music box I had saved as I went out« Now that the c risis was normal on the surface, I did what many an untested person would do. I helped myself to the bottle of whiskey in the medicine cabinet.
