Class Matter under the Act of March 3, 1879.
LOOK-SEE
Nyssa school patrons will have an opportunity to approve
or disapprove an amount of $71,029 outside the 6 . limitation
Friday, April 26. This is a small part of the $895,000 total
budget approved by the school board for 1968-69.
If approved the tax levy in the district will go up about 7 1/2
mills and be about what it was (36.5) for the 1966-67 year.
School operations take about two-thirds of all local tax money.
And costs continue to rise at a fast pace. Increased salary
costs, plus higher pensions and added Social Security will
be about $61,000 higher than last year.
Schools are our most important industry and if we want
the best we naturally must pay for them. Many voters gripe
about the costs and then fail to vote on election day. And, judging
by attendance at local budget hearings, make little effort to
have a voice in how the money is to be used. Next to the home
and church nothing is so vital to the average family as the
schools. Yet many parents have little knowledge of what they
are doing with their own children.
Are they learning to read? If not can they get an education?
It must be quite a shock to parents to learn that their children
have passed from grade-to-grade without being able to read
and then learn of it only when they have reached the upper
grades and are placed in a remedial reading class.
Teachers should share a large portion of the blame in these
cases but parents are also at fault in not discovering the in
ability sooner, learning *HY and then doing something about it.
We are not implying these conditions now exist in local
schools but do know it has happened before. It is much more
important to know if your child is learning as he should than
the $71,000 you’ll be voting on Friday.
Why not take a LOOK-SEE at your local school. We did
recently, on a small scale, and were agreeably surprised.

"Row fumigation with Vorlex at 5 gallons
per acre produced 100 sacks of potatoes per
acre more than the untreated area. This

“Although 1967 was a year that produced
some unusually poor potato crops in our
area, we feel' our 1967 potato yield and
quality was substantially increased by our
fumigating with Vorlex at 2>^ gallons per
acre. We were certainly pleased with the
results."
