Coming Mon
A special election will be held in
the school districts of Detroit, Idanha,
Gates and Mill City Monday of next
week, on the question of whether or
not high schools of the three district*
will be consolidated.
This election is one of the most im­
portant to confront the voters of these
three districts, and the effects of the
outcome will be far reaching and will
have a lasting effect on the Canyon
area as a whole.
All registrants of the three districts
are asked to be sure and vote at the
election. Weigh the facts honestly
and vote tor the good of the students.
