Dhority, Editors-Publishers Official County Paper Issued Every Thursday SUBSCRIPTION RATES Appanoose and Monroe Counties One Year $3.00 Elsewhere in United States $3.50 (In Advance) Aayt, Ramblin's Many local people real encouraged with the release that Moravia's population increase almost tops anything in this area. And to top that, almost everyone agrees that our local growth, in population, business and activities is really just getting started. We hope the area can show some much-needed stimulation. One thing Moravia town needs badly now, is a sewer system. Just why the town has been sidetracked repeatedly for approval is difficult for most people to understand.

There have been numerous other approvals made, many of them in communities that do not appear to have the growth potential or the need that exists here. With the town's growth, and with the wide usage of the town's water system, the sewage problem has increased many times over. It was believed financial assistance was based on degree of need, that here was no political implications. 4ow some believe perhaps there re strong political implications, and this should be followed up more strongly. At least all angles should be aken, as a sewer system is very badly needed, not only to correct present unhealthy conditions, but a requirement for future development and growth.

An interesting item for consid- iration in regards to school expan- ion, is the marked decline in children between the ages of 0 and 4 years in this area. A recent study an Iowa State University professor, showed that in local ten counties the percentages of change from 1960 to 1970 is down an average of Davis county leads the decline, with a depletion of of this age Can this mean the school en- can drop almost a half in that community?
