DECEMBER 21 f 1.76 I HE YEAR SCHOOL MEETING THIS AFTERNOON — RESTAURANT TO OPEN SATURDAY I axpayera and Patrons to Meet to Reconsider Budget For Present School Year. I Intel Management Senses Need of City and I ake Steps to Keep up With Times. There has been so much said that is truth, half truth and of no truth, lately that one hardly knows where he is or whv he is at it. There is no use trying to "kid" ourselves into paying more taxes by way of slopp ing off money in wages or improve ments. when it means future pay ment snd with interest. The budget for this year calls for contract bills, snd is practically one year in arrears, for the reason this district has never provided for saving interest by hav ing the money on hand to pay as it coes. but always pays interest until the lax money comes in during the month of May following the passing of the Budget. But the meeting t -day ought to get us airtight when we meet at the school house st 2 p. m. Some figures have been prepared for the meeting by Mrs. Edna Geer, c -unty superintendent of schools mid is of great importance. It shows the exact status of the schools nf the county as compared with Scio’s schools, and if her figures are wrong, it is because they have I <*en furnished her office in error. The effect of isolation on the Firka of the Santiam is as clearly ».own in the matter of teacher’s s-daries as anything. The two at andard Forks high schools of long existence show this point quite c early. The average salaries per month in the»« schools are as fol- I ws according to a table prepared b Mrs. Geer, the Linn County school S perintendent. Principal. Scio S1GK.G6.

In the Spirit of Christmai Q Q HRISTMAS DAY brings u« the consciousneM that whatever our personal animosities may be, what ever the strife between nations — merely neigh- b<»rho< I quarrels greatly magnified — there is this sub lime on i > devoted to peace and good will. Itaspirit is the 1. npu uch lights to higher lite; its influence largely supports cinlization and prevents a lapse into barbarity. C • •••»• Scio has been without a firstcla«« r< srsurant for a numlier of years. With the approaching year, which promises much in the way of busi ness. this venture ought to prove remunerative. The plan, as we un derstand it. is to cater to the wants of all. and they will have for sale as »ide lines, cakes, doughnuts, cookies and pies, and will take care of other wants as they are made known tn i>.m Short orders will aG- Christm.u irit means Christian spirit. In testing its effect, one us only to reflect upon the positions of ra< , the -t advanced being those of Christendom. China, the oldest entity among peoples, ha» an admi rable on. >n upon which the citizen» strive to liquidate all their debts. It is a national pay-up day, and inspirit s‘ in ..at resembles our Christmas. In Japan they have an annual event somewhat like our New Year’s celebration, during which the people go about express ing o< I will and promoting good cheer. But Christ mas has a more elevating effect than either, in that it not only typifies peace and good will, but carries the e erne of unselfishness and pure love, the moat com- mon expres ión being the bestowal of gifts. When the Christmas induenct gains to the point that its spirit shall permeate the affairs of every day in the year, the millennium will have arrived. 4 a • a a • • • * « • ■c • • • • • a • - a • M &ÍÍÍ « ■ « ssl eatured.

Community Christmas The people of Shelburn are to hold a community Christmas Sat urday evening at the school house, and everybody who can Is Invited to be present. A feature of the even ing will be that all can bring pres ent» for anyone they wish as well as fur the Kiddies.’’ A program of interest to everyone is being ar ranged and will include most of the school children and some who are not in school. The Humming Hirds are in charge of the most of the festivities and are going to raffle off a quilt, which can be seen at the store of Mr. Ransom. Theeveningiprom- ises to bring out many people and a happy event will then become his tory. We have this day, and if we mar not its ideal its leaven will produce other days of the kind. In the making of a nev sp. pcr we have an opportunity to view the many forces operating upon the character of humanity. We ace the good and bad, the sincere and insincere, the selfish and unselfish. We believe the leaven of good is more active than that of the opposed forces. If we have been able to assist the right, much has been d !< t< your co-operation and we earnestly solicit a con tinuation of the same. Our Christmas greeting to you is one of optimism, good cheer and hearty good wishes.
