JMUJ IE fc2&a su" JT DIFFERENCES OVER To the Editor: Some time ago you published a letter about the annual achool meet ing at Prospect that waa full of mis takes, will you pleas publish the following aa a correction: The defeat of Mr. Boothby at that time waa credited to tha Townaend club who were aald to be peeved by the charge made for the use of the gym. I do not believe he loat one vote on account of thla charge aa he la a member of the club and aald he waa very sorry It seemed necessary to make tha charge on account of the clauae In the achool law requiring political organizations to pay for the use of achool buildings. The Towna end movement la non-partlaan and has been admitted free of charge In mogt'placea. ' ' . - I am a member of the Townaend club and have attended every meet ing. I can and do say no action has over been taken against Mr. Boothby In a Townaend club meeting. He hss many frlenda and relatives In the club and they ara some of our beat and most active workers. There are members of the Towns- end club who, with other taxpayers and patrons of the achool, are op posed to all tha old achool board be cause they differ with them on achool policy and not for any email or personal reasons. One of these points of difference waa the proposal to vote a tax to build a new nign achool and make other Improvement In a one-year levy. Thla proved to unpopular that tha vote was 10S agalnBt and SO for. This waa and still la the main Issue. I am told tnal it la Intended to state the time the bonds will run on the ballots but tha county achool superintendent hss In formed us that even In caae a atata ment la printed on the ballot It will not be binding a It la the privilege of the directors to decide tha Mm. the bonda will run. Notices are posted for a bond elec tion to be held August 30, aaklng for 130,000.00 to build a school-house, or to buy a alte.or for other purposes. No one can foretell the outcome, but If the bonda ara defeated It will be because tha taxpayers wish to know how the money will be spent and when they will have to raise It. The needs of a new achool building, bet ter plumbing and lighting, play ehed and rcpalra of the bulldlnga we have, books for our library, all are very pressing and ara recognised by every cie. Instead of all this we are given a fine baseball diamond at a cost of over 1,000.00, dedicated to the Pros pect baseball team, and our amall children's ptay-ahed haa been demol ished to get It out of the way. Bo It will be aeen there ara otn.r grounds for disagreement in ui achool election than Townaend. Tou may be a good club member and vote for or against bonda at Pros pect aa you can vote for Roosevelt. Landon or Lemke and be a good Townsmider. Thanking you for the epees, I am Sincerely youra, CLAR1CB HY8. Proepect, Aug. 17, 1938.
