THE JOB IS UP TO YOU!
There is a date which all eligible voters
within rural school districts should bear in
mind, Monday, May 15.
This is the time set for the rural school
district election to exceed the six |>ercent
limitation, which will be conducted from 5
p. m. to 8 p. m., daylight saving time, in
each of the elementary districts concerned.
Perhaps it is the duty of an editorial, at
this time, to burst out in a fury of invective
and prayerful pleading in the hope that tax­
payers will overcome the usual inertia at
thè prospect of a school election and vote on
this county-wide budget and the levy it in-
V oi VGS*
It actually seems, though, that a taxpayer
should have enough intelligence and initia­
tive to stir himself of his own volition to
live up to this constitutional responsibility
of citizenship. When it comes to influences
that should evoke consideration, a heavy
hand on one’s pocketbook ranks among the
greatest. Certainly, for this reason alone,
voters should In* able to get up enough steam
to reach the polls.
. ,, ,
The total levy for 1950-51, in both elemen­
tary and high school districts, only exceeds
th at approved last year by $45,668.51. This
shows as q most modest increase, consider­
ing the number of additional classrooms
needed next fall to care for enrollment to
come.
, . Al
Of the 61 districts included in the county­
wide levy, only half a dozen will need to
make a levy beyond that of ¡13 mills which
will be set by the approval of the rural
school district budget.
In the districts comprising the county­
wide rural district, there are approximately
6,500 pupils enrolled in elementary and high
schools. Of this numlier, districts having
over 81% of these pupils will l>e benefited.
In the eastern end of the county, all but
about five rural districts will benefit to a
significant extent by passage of the levy.
And in most cases throughout the county,
there is not too great an additional millage
which will be required by some districts to
meet the 33 mill rate set by the rural school
board.

Mud Lake
Gets "Cleared Up //
C o u n ty officers got a notice from
th e g o v e rn m e n t not long ago. a s k ­
ing th e m to ch ange th e na m e of
Mud Lake. S eem s i t ’s a pond, not a
lake, by gov ern m en t s t a n d a rd s .
Because it lies entirely inside
our town limits, we asked to do the
name-changing ourselves. Figured
w»’d think up a brand-new name.
Mud Lake's really not very muddy
—sort of pretty, in fact.
County people said go ahead, so
we held a Town Meeting. Everyone
suggested something. Windy Tay­
lor thought “Taylor Pond" would
be nice, because his place borders
it—for about 30 feet I But we fin­
ally decided to call it “Turtle
Pond” in honor of the real ow ners.
From w h e re I s i t , n a m i n g th a t
pond w a s n ’t t h e m o s t im p o r t a n t
t h i n g in th e w o rld —b u t tft< iray we
did it irae. E v e r y o n e offered his
opi
n and th e n t h e m a j o r i ty vote
decided it. T h a t ’s t h e w a y it should
b^— w h e th e r it c o n c e r n s n a m in g a
pond, o r h av in g t h e r i g h t t o enjoy
a frien d ly g la s s o f b e e r o r ale—if
and when we ch o o se.
