Tin* total indebtedness of the school district at the end of this fiscal year. June 30, 1935. will be approxim ately $18,000 less than at the end of the school June 30, 1033. While the school district will not have paid off all the bonded debt until 1944 the great strides in reducing the in debtedness has saved the district heavy interest charges. Considering that the district has more than $40,000 in de linquent taxes the fact th at the debt has been reduced so much is signiflcent of the budget savings being made. The improvement in the school district debt is shown by the following figures from the clerk’s report: June w arrants June w arrants June w arrants $10,000, 30, 1933—Bond debt $68,000, outstanding $17,587.10, total $83.587.10 30, 1934—Bond debt $62.500, outstanding $11,835.80, total $74.335.80 30, 1935—Bond debt $55,000, outstanding (estim ated) total .......................- ........... $65,000.00 T hat this reduction in the school district debt has been effected by economies put into operation by the present board rath e r than added burdens on the taxpayers is shown by a lower tax levy. When the peak of school w arrants w as reached in 1933 the district tax was 23.3 mills; it was lowered the next year 4.3 mills to 18.5. This year it is 20.1 mills. When the present economy program started there had been little repair made on school buildings for a num ber of years and they were reaching a ru n down stage. In the last two years more than $5,000 in repairs have been m ade to the school plants as well as m uch new equipm ent added. When the SERA work is completed on the school buildings this sum m er they should all be in excellent shape. During the tim e this debt reduction has been going on there has been no curtailm ent in the teaching staff. In fact one new teacher was added in the high school due to increased enrollm ent. There has been efforts by the school board to raise standards in education by stiffening require m ents, adding to the school libraries, and by conform ing more closely to the standards laid down by the gtate super intendent of public instruction and the university and state college. The present school board has other changes in mind to raise educational standards in the district, one of which is an “opportunity room ” for backw ard children. Due to the fact th a t the board’s first consideration has been to operate within its budget and also within its cash income some of these reform s have had to wait. A nother year should see more of them in operation since when the pres ent expensive repairs to school buildings have been made there will be more money for books, equipm ent and in struction. We m ake this statem ent at the present time because of the fact th a t a school election is coming June 17 and the patrons and taxpayers of the district are entitled to know how their school affairs are being handled. The facts m en tioned here are the im portant and vital part of the school business. We hope everyone will study them closely and then m ake up their minds how well the school board is do ing its job. ---------- » FOB SUMMER TERM SCOUT WORK TOLD AT LIONS MEETING You c a n ’t push yourself forw ard by patting yourself on the back. Lessons from The cBook By DEAN C. POINDEXTER Pastor of the Methodist Episcopal Church, Springfield, Oregon k4 Vj TH E DANGERS OF A CHRISTIAN (M att. 7:13-23) “E nter by the narrow gate. For the wide gate on the broad road leads to ruin, and m any enter th at way. But the n a n o w gate on the narrow road leads to life, but very few ever find it.’’ The broad and easy vacation type of life lures many. The broad way th at most everybody else is taking ought to be good enough for me, reasons one who w ants an excuse for a few things th a t he knows a re n 't just right. The way of easy m orals, com fortable living and soft convictions is so attractive th a t we find it hard to look be yond it to the real goal of life. Energies are scattered and m orale is dissipated by the loose living of the broad way so th a t the narrow way is not found. “Beware of false teachers in pious garb. Under black coats they hide black hearts.” The flowers m ay appear sweet but how about the fru it7 How m any things are dressed up and recommended highly for the unsuspecting person. W atch out for the motives of such teachers. Do they love people so as to sacrifice gladly for them and thus inspire others to greater living? Give them time to prove them selves before you follow them to your own destruction. Broad ways and low motived teachers m ake a fine combi nation to keep you back from a whole-hearted search for life. In this judgm ent scene the judge doesn't ask as to be lief In the Bible or Christ or anything else. He implies that men know w hether or not they are doing the will of the Heavenly F a th er and those who have not made th at will their suprem e objective have missed the way of life. / Ito lh ift, (>«•• fo r U«««ir TH«« tlinhu»««' |» m I«I twice ov«r w ith th e in* «n *«*•*« I i «> iu i iim fro m th e f l r * l crop uu u 27 uerv flw k l near heic, r«|H»rU Any great stimulation of cattle production will bring illMstroUs price leaillon by 1937 predicted Many Petrie. chief of the AAA cal tie unit sheep set H u ll lu tin add m»» to ihe annual Oregon t'altlo •»•«« lliirsi' Itaisers a«»ociatlun lu Euler prise The cuttle bilslMM Is in a healthy «iiniBtlon now unit can con llone -o It growers will avoid over expansion. lie »aid Meal price« are uni high compared with Ihe 1929 level, but the Industry must lake iignlseui nt consumer reactions III prill advances, he added J It B«*« U c n illltV Agent T h e u « « ••i U h l 2600 te v t of til«*, a m i In I $34 Imr v «» m I«*«I 421 *M«’ k * o f «mt* fro m th«* fie ld , p ro b a b ly III«* b««t crop It ha*« e ve r yie ld e d , he »«Id T h in year he waa a b le to d r ill a ll hut about h a lf an a«re on A p ril 20. w h ile In o th e r year«* 10 o r 12 < o i «* m could not be d rille d u n til ver> la te If at a ll In a d d itio n It w found to* i ouhl d r i ll th e fie ld In one day lea* tittle th a n w hen h«< had to dodge Daiiphtsr Named—Yvonne Is Ihe th e wet place« lie p la n * on tap m in e Mi utd Mrs lairson Wrlglil p in « tw o o r th re e re m a in in g wet have ■ liu se ii fin their Infant iluugh a|M>ta w ith tth* no th a t th«* e n tire le i horn In them recently Both fie ld w ill I»«» u n ifo rm mother anil mild are now ul home Smile with Ice Cream E G G IM A N N ’S Ice Cream Delivery SILVER WEDDING EVENT HELD HERE Springfield Creamery Co.
