Ladies who took the course were wives of CZ employees, members of the Party Line club and ladies associated with local civil defense groups. The men were employe of CZ and Wes ' Oregon Electric. The increased interest in the classes which afforded one of the best attendance records for uch held here, was st imulet eri by the fact that there is some- times no medical aid available lo cally and people feel th need for knowing what to do in an emergency. Also, in case of mili- ter, the informatio i would be invaluable.

OPERATION OF PLANT Op eration of plant is defined as that group of activities necessary to keep the plant open and ready for use Includes custodian abrie supplies and utilities. MAINTENANCE AND RE PAIRS: Maintenance has to do with all repairs and replacements necessary to keep the school plant in its original condition. Note It is by regular mainten ance, as evidenced in both Ver- nonia schools and the Mist school, that costly major repair projects arc avoided and spread over each tax year AUXILIARY AGENCIES: Th se are activities which, al though not a part of regular in- struction, are closely connected with the school and its operation. Included are health service, stu dent insurance, transportation co pupil school lunch prog rama and others. FIXED CHARGE Th ose char ge . that recur with some resu la ' it y in mi ant •. ■ iel ecerity and retirement charges, etc. NEEDS ESTM***» School district budgets are fore cast on the estimated needs of the students and community, for «a given period of time. In recent years, with increased salaries and prices, budgets have risen ac cordingly. The demands that a community makes for increased services in their school also af fect the cost of education. Most schools have a baric program 06 education which must be pro vided by law. To this must be added the ac - tivities and specialized items of instruction, for example in the elementary school, kindergarten; in both schools, band and vocal music, agriculture, shop, and home economics courses. If these are items the public wishes to have included in their school sys tem then it is the duty of the citizens to support their local school board and budget com mittee, whose duty it is to pre pare the budget, by seeing that the budg'd is accepted fairly and appraised in its true light of what it provides for in the coni munity. As was pointed out in last weeks paper, due to changes in the law the people will be called upon to vote their support for school taxes this year.
