An employment agreement
submitted to board members by
the Chief of the local Rural fire
district, calling for a rai-c in
salary and a request for the re
: moval of one of the board mem
bers, caused some concern
among tax payers in the district.
It was claimed among other
things that the member was un
cooperative and hard to get
along with. The member in I
question claims tiiat the dislike
is caused by his opposition to
some of the methods being used !
and his insisting that the disl- !
ricts busmes be run in a business j
like manner. And that a yearly ;
itemized report of the receipts
and disbursements be filed with
the county court as required by
law.
There has been some critic
ism of the board as a whole,
some thinking they are rather
negligent in transacting the
business of the district, and not
themselves taking on the re
sponsibility of the hiring and
fixing of salaries.

S a busy little animal, with a great-sense of family
responsibility. The first thing a beaver does when he
is reiady to start a family is build a home . . . because
beavters know that a home is essential for the security
and happiness of his family . . .
M
OST people feel the same way.
They know that nothing can make a family
so happy and secure as a home of their own.
That's why home-building has reached such
a peak here in our communities.
aNOTHER reason, of course, is the
ease with which most families can find fi
nancing plans to fit their needs and their
budgets through their home-owned savings
and loan association.
