,D04-YEAR-OLD WHALE CAUGHT.
A close-up view of a monster 90-
ton "bull" whale which was sighted
by Columbus in 1-492 on his voyage
of discovery, does that give you a
trifle far fetched. However, that is
exactly what you may witness in the
timer Clifton production "Down to
the Sea in Shipa," which comes to the
Star theater on Saturday.
There is no question about your
ee i n g the w-ton ouM wnaie. as m
this thrilling photodrmma a close-up
view is to be had of one of these le
viathans of tha deep in a death battle
with the crew of the "Charlse W.
Morgan." Every detail of a thrilling
battle, in which the enraged mammal
finally turns on the boat, smashes it
to kindling wood, and hurls the oc
cupants into the shark infested wat
ers, is graphically shown before the
astounded eyes of the audience.
As to Columbus seeing this same
whle, there may be some doubt. How
ever, it is estimated that this mam
moth of the sea, which measured 80
feet in length and weighed more than
90 tons, was over one thousand years
old. It is, therefore, very possible
that Columbus en route for America
on his old sailing bark, may have
sighted this self-same whale. Can you
imagine sitting in your comfortable
seat in your favorite motion picture
theater and gazing on a whale that
lived one thousand years ago?
COUNTY UNIT PLAN
LEVELS TAX BURDEN
Continued from rge One.)
that the proposed plan would result
in shouldering the indebtedness of
the towns onto the country and to
a certain extent this is true. There
are. however, other sides to the case
that we must consider. In passing
carries much greater duties and re
sponsibilities and will require a eery
high type of ability in the individual
who satisfactorily tills it, it is reason
able to assume that th, salary would
need to be greater than the present
salary of the county school superin
tendent. Again, the board will need to em
ploy an assistant to the superinten
dent and a school clerk. However,
if these two positions are combined,
as they should be it is likely that an
able person could be employed for
about the total amount now paid to
the 40 odd district clerks and their
surety bonds.
The advocates of the measure also
claim that a considerable saving will
be effected for the county under the
proposed system in the purchase of
school supplies by reason of the fact
that they are bought by a central
board through bids and at wholesale
rather than by district boards at re
tail. This is probably true.
As to teachers' salaries, there is
nothing to prove that there will be
a change either way. One county in
the state claims that they have been
lowered under the operation of the
county unit. The chances are there
will be little change. At any rate it
will depend upon the available supply
of teachers and the attitude of the
board, just as it does at present.
whether the county unit will cost
Morrow county more or less than it
does under the present system, no
cne can predict with any degree of
certainty. It will depend altogether
upon the expenditures the new board
decides to make. One thing it will
do; it will level that expense equally
over the whole county.
Efficiency.
Will the county unit be more em
eient educationally and give better
schools than we have at present? Here
ggain no one can speak with absolute
assurance, lt will depend largely up
on the board that Is elected but more
than all else upon the superintendent
and the type of sane educational lead-1
ership that official ia able to bring to
u.e system. This much can be said:
under tht county unit the board and
superintendent have much larger
powers than they now have. They
have a closer hold on the entire sit
uation and are in a position to do
mora for tht schools, especially the
rural, man la being done at present.
If they fail to do it tht people have
the recall to fall back upon.
in closing this article, nerhana it
should be said in fairness to tht
county unit that reports coming from
states and counties that have adopted
it seem to be favorable. The trend
of rural education in the United
States it and has been distinctly to
ward it. Whether it would be a good
thing here and whether Morrow coun
ty should adopt It ia a matter for the
voters to decide.

thrill? That probably sounds just atheir liabilities on to the county it
should not be forgotten that they
likewise pass on to fhe county board
their entire assets to use as it sees
fit. For one thing, this will probably
mean that if the towns desire to con
tinue their high schools, as they will,
they will be called upon to rent from
the county board that portion of their
building which it is desired to use for
high school purposes. More than that,
it will be necessary to secure a re
turn, either by leae or purchase, of
their present high school equipment,
sueh as library, laboratories and all
other things needed to conduct a
high school. This may or may not
be a source of considerable expense
to the local districts, just as the
county board sees fit to handle it.
There is also another point to con
sider here which appears likely to op
erate in favor of the rural districts.
At the present time, the towns are
for the most part equipped with pood
permanent buildings and improve
ments. The rural districts are sorely
in need of these things. Consequent
ly it would be reasonable to suspect
that the most of the money spent for
permanent improvements during the
next ten or twenty years will go to
the country districts.
Expense of Operation.
Let us consider briefly the operat
ing expenses under the county unit.
Will they be greater or less than they
are at present? in me nrsi piace,
the board is required to elect a super
intendent of schools to succeed the
present county superintendent whose
office would be abolished at the ex
piration of the term of the present
incumbent. Since this hew position

A SPECIAL CAST in
"DOWN TO THE SEA IN SHIPS"
Here is what REELAND REVIEWS (a realiahle
exhibitor's information bureau) says of this picture:
there ever was a picture that is away from the or
dinary run of "movie stuff," this is it. For itself, it will
answer the far cry for the different and for the unusual.
There is a simple tale of the Quaker folk of New Eng
land running through it, into which has been woven jt
sufficient share of melodrama and thrills. But it is not
upon this the picture makes its bid for fame... It is the
bigness that the director has been able to gather, as it
were, through the lens of the camera, the unusual set
tings of reality, the atmosphere of the sea, and the tre
mendously interestnig and at times marvelous scenes of
whale fishing, taken at the whaling grounds, far out upon
the ocean. At other times one sees man eating sharks
darting through the waters and then dolphins and im
mense blackfish in whole schools rushing through the
waves. Big, clean, wholesome entertainment that con
tains some of the most unusual scenes ever seen on the
'screen. The industry is helped every time a picture like
this is off reed. We could say more if we could afford the
space.

deals with love and intrigue among the king, queen, cour

King. All those who have read the book or those who
