The wrestling match between Chas
Olson ami Chas. Richard«, wm wit­
nessed by a fair sized crowd on
Thanksgiving night, and all who
were present witnesse d a good bout.
The preliminary was staged by
Bennie Froepal and Ed Boyanovaky,
and they showed adeptnesa in the
art. The boys are light weights
and have the making of good wrest­
lers under proper training.
la the main event, th
toe holt
was adopted, and in this Richards
feels that he loet hie points. In a
former wrvetiing bout in southern
Oregon. Richards won hi« bout on
the toe holt, and he thought he
could do the same with Olson, but
he reckoned without his host. Olaon
won by throwing hie opponent two
best out of three. The referee was
an Albany man. whose name we did
not learn and Mr. Richards was un­
able to tell us.
Mr. Richards want« a return
match with Olson for thia coming
Saturday night, and he will insist
upon eliminating the toe holt if pos­
sible. He showed that he hod pep
and under proper rules for him
ought to win.

Eveyhody Interested in Recon­
sideration of the Meeting
Held by Diet. 95.
Elsewhere in thia issue will be
found the republished budget of
School District 95, which calle for
another meeting on the 21st to re­
consider the action of the taxpayers
at the meeting of Nov. 25th. This
budget was read, discussed and fi­
nally defeated bv an overwhelming
vote.
To the shame of the district, there
has been much ill-feeling engendered
in this controversy, and this paper
l>elieves it is because there is a lack
>f understanding by a major! y of
the taxpayers. The Tribune does
not believe the people want the
school to become non standard by
elimination of one teacher, fort his
would d<> untold injury to the dis­
trict and to the children of our
citixens. Contrary to the statements
heretofore that it is neeesMry to
have the domestic science in the
school to make it standard, the law
is that three teachers must be em­
ployed to make It a standard high
school. Domestic science is one of
the required studie«, and the school
board acted wisely in incorporating
this branch in the curriculum.
Besidrs teaching domestic science,
this teacher also teaches two other
studies, and her time is well taken
up. In no other manner does the
girl* of our community, or any other
community, secure so thorough a
knowledge of the proper arrange­
ments of food and their preparation.
It also carries sewing, dressmaking
and other studies necessary to a well
rounded girl to do her home work
well and economically.
There are six districts in the vi­
cinity of Scio that have a total val­
uation as shown by the school au­
ditor,s report, of over 1100.000

listed in the official High School Di­
rectory for 1920-21, has to support
seven teachers and an average of
13N.5 pupils, elementary and secon­
dary. Thia unfair distribution of
wealth makes the burden on the
Scio School higher accordingly than
it should be. Angered at this sit­
uation the taxpayers of the Scio dis­
trict have decided to strike them­
selves a blow in the face tn secure
