At a recent I'-TA meeting they did learn that the taxable valuation of the county l about 13 to 1 with the rural area carry Ing the 13. They did learn that the main source of taxation is the farms, or our farm factory. The only other factory we have is discounted because I believe Its public service requirement ..h hn tax revenue produced. Its public service requirements . . i. i fa-tnrv hp.

Therefore you cannot look for any steady Increase ln pop ulation because the young people, employable people, will move where there are Jobs. The only alternative being a lowet .tanrlnrrl irf ltvlnd effecting wax governeu uy schools as well as daily habits of all. These unalterable facts show you why some or us in sist that any new industry mov Ing in must pay its full load of public service requirements or we do not want it. Several years ago some of us wanted a primary school and a high school wasn't that Just the silliest thing you ever heard of? Yes, only dumb farmers could think of it. The need for a high school is still with us but the situation has changed. We have a unit or administrative system now and some of the people realizing they have lost control of the school and are not achieving the economy they ex pected -fire in a fight. Fighting, I believe, not over whether we need one or two schools ln the south end, or locations, as much as for a return to the original district system with more local control. (And, don't you know, they could be right?) That is perhaps the why of the contin uance of present litigation and its why I think the serial levy will be voted down. It would not surprise me If some parts of the county motivated legislation to return the schools to their old status quo, probably with larger districts. Have you noticed how the farms huve changed hands Junior is now taking over; but dad can't give it to him because he still has to live so Junior buys it as he goes. Did you ever try to stretch one pay check over two families you would have about the same effect. So until ft- STAR THEATER Thurs FiL, Sat.

Where you will find a new barrel I am sure that I do not k,10Wbut you had better find one or start doing without. Don't Just harp about needing some thing.
