ASSEMBLY OF GOD
I. O. O. F. HALL, KERBY
Residents of the Illinois Valley have a job to do
that must be done—some of us may have to swallow
three or four times before we can make up our minds
about it, but in the long run we’ll all take it in stride
and do what has to be done.
The Illinois valley and her communities have what
is commonly called “Growing Pains’’, we are growing
faster than we can keep up with the parade. Our
schools are trying to keep abreast with this growth,
and that is what is going to make us look around.
The Kerby school district MUST have a new build­
ing. The old school house “ain’t” what she used to be,
and the people voted to build a new modern school
house and it must he done, and should be built this
summer. Nearly all the school districts in the valley
have consolidated with Kerby, and this brings many
more children to the one school, and it simply cannot
stand the extra number of pupils.
The Kerby district will hold their annual meeting
Monday, June 18th and will elect a new school board
and vote the budget.
The high school budget and the election of one di­
rector will come up Thursday, June 28th. Citizens who
are property owners and have a right to vote at these
elections, should take the trouble to do it and see that
we have good schools.
On June 22nd, at the special election, the proposi­
tion of voting to consolidate all school districts in the
county into the County Unit System will confront the
voters. This is a radical change from our present
school system, and the voters should acquaint them­
selves on the issues. As far as we are concerned, the
county unit system has some good points and we be­
lieve some bad points. We have not made up our mind
which outweigh the other, when we do we will tell the
voters our position, and they can take their own good
judgment.
We wish, however, to admonish the taxpayers of
this valley, that they have a serious problem to face,
and they should do their duty and get acquainted with
the facts and then go out and vote. \ oung Americans
are the citizens of tomorrow, and we should give them
every opportunity. Our school system is that oppor­
tunity.
Notice is hereby given that all
those interested in the Kerby Fire
District and the formation of the
same, should attend the meeting
called for Monday, June 11th, at
8:30 p. m. and the meeting will
be held in the IOOF hall.
Kerby residents are vitally in­
terested in the fire district and
they should attend this meeting
and get their district started.

This tiny gold button, one you’ll see in more and
more lapels these days, is the returned service
man or woman’s badge of honor. It is presented
with the Honorable Discharge as a symbol of our
nation’s gratitude for having served our country
faithfully and well. The veteran who wears this
emblem has earned the respect, admiration and
gratitude of all of us.

THE SPECIAL ELECTION
The voters of the state are called on to go to the
polls on Friday, June 22 and vote on several measures
that will be on the ballot. Two of them have been re­
ferred to the people by the last legislature.
The first and foremost is a 10 mill tax levy for
building new structures for our state institutions,
which are needed—no mistake about that. The thing
that voters will have to acquaint themselves with,
about this measure—is the fact that while the referen­
dum calls for a 10 mill levy, in reality the levy will
NOT BE COLLECTED or imposed on the taxpayers
—liecause, the state already has the needed sum in the
reserve, but the Oregon law compels us to vote the levy
to enable us to use the reserve fund. There would lx*
no need to put the 10 mill tax into execution, and it
will not be done. We sincerely hope all voters will un­
derstand this and vote for the state building fund.
The next measure is the so-called cigarette tax.
This is a highly controversial measure and it will have
a tough time getting by. The money raised from this
source will go to the public school system of the state
to relieve property taxes. It calls for 2 cents a pack­
age on cigarettes.
The theory on the cigarette tax is this—many peo­
ple who use cigarettes in the state do not contribute in
anyhianner towards the upkeep of our schools. This
means was adopted to get them to pay their just share
towards the school system. Cigarette smokers may not
like the idea, but many of them realize the situation
and will support the measure, even when it takes a
little more from them, but it is such a trifle it will
never be noticed.
This paper hopes the voters of the valley will go to
the polls on this special election day and vote their
preference. We don't care how you vote—but go out
and VOTE.
