A previous consolidation election
in June had been found to be
faulty, and the new election has
been called so that the district
could conduct business
without
further legal difficulty.
Districts
The districts making up the
consolidation are No. 10 Franklin;
15 Lancaster; 17 Union: 108
Swamp; 77 Goldson; and 69
Junction City. All had joined Junc
tion City last June before tax rolls
and budgets were completed with
the purpose of making the con
solidation effective when school
starts Sept 20.
It was while plans were being
made for a bond issue to build a
new grade school for the combined
district that legal faults in the pre
vious election were discovered.

states the division of students by
grade is as follows: first, 43; sec

and field work were credited with
the difference.

Crowd Space
Also on Agenda
Eugene's lack of adequate pub
lic assembly places may come up
for considerable attention Thurs
day nieht at a public meeting call
ed by the District 4 School Board.
Although subordinate to tne
overall problem of Eugene's school
construction needs, the auditorium
issue is one that has been discuss
ed by many community organiza
tions. The school board, Superinten
dent Clarence Hines reported
Monday, has been wrestling since
1943 with the question ot mnming
a sizable auditorium in . the new
Eugene high school.
The board s decision has been
that the people, as a whole, should
decide whether they want to pay
the additional cost for such a pro
ject, Hines said, and they will at
tempt to draw out opinions on tne
matter Thursday night.
The public meeting will begin at
8 p. m. at Woodrow Wilson Junior
High School, and will deal pri
marily with the question of how
the school district can best finance
the building of additional schools
to handle a fast-growing pupil
population.

When you point to this proud, glistening

Packard ... the car that still looks like itself
That's because the Packard radiator grille
for nearly 50 years, has been a trademark
of precision-built character.
Packard, for example, has always meant
precision-built engines. And Packard today
is winning new fame with the amazing
economy of its new "free-breathing" straight
eights, in three power ranges.
