New School Addition Eyed MONTAGUE (Special) With an enrollment of 239 students this year at the Montague Elementary School, as compared to 16 in November 1955, the school board has decided that it will be nec essary to hold a bond election in order to borrow $150,000 of state money to build three additional rooms onto the present new school building. When plans for the present school were considered it was es timated that it would house about 185 pupils. With the influx of new families into the area, the enroll ment has gone much higher than previously anticipated. According to the report released by tne principal, Harold Hooten. the kin dergarten and fiist grade classes are required to attend scnool in the old school building, now owned by the city of Montague. This creates an additional ex pense for the Montague school dis trict, as it must pay rent and maintenance for the building to the city for the use of the building, The Montague school now has 10 teachers, including two first grade teachers to handle the kin dergarten and first grade classes. The bond ot xiso.uoo win extend the present loan four years, and it will in no way increase the present taxes. It will provide funds for the purchase of addition al land, to. construct the neces sary three rooms, and purchase desks and other equipment needed for all classrooms. It is felt by the school board that the three new rooms should take care of any future population increase for the next three years. Date of the election has been set for December 10, 1957, and it requires a two-thirds majority vote to pass. , Hunters Report Good Duck Kills Reports from the Tule Lake and Lower Klamath National Wildlife refuge indicated that there were more duck hunters out on the opening weekend, that they killed more ducks, but that the goose kill was considerably less than during 1956. ' Refuge Manager Tom Horn ad vises that the opening weekend saw 6.832 hunters at the refuge com pared with 5.671 during the same weekend of 195S.

However, there were 6,565 geese taken on the opening weekend last year and only 1,359 this year. Arts, Crafts Class Opens Ttnhert E.
