President D. J. Russell said the net income in 1960, without tax referrals, would have been $1.95 per share as compared with $2.13 a share in 1959. Russell said the drop in earn ings resulted primarily from smaller revenues as carloadings: fell off after the first quarter of 1960, reflecting declines in gen cral business and construction activity. Advance Class Is Arranged McCLOUD John Pcracchino, McC'loud Junior High School prin cipal, said the eighth grade math ematics class had been divided into two groups in the local school. Purpose of the division was to place the more advanced group in an advanced class and to place the other .students in a regular class. The teachers have asked the parents' cooperation in the proj ect and are making plans for a pare"'?' workshop session one night a week for a four-week pe riod. They will explain the eighth grade program and better equip the parents to understand what they are trying to accomplish, Peracchino said.
