JANESVILLE, WIS. JANESVILLE DAILY FEBRUARY 4, 1955. PAGE SEVEN. 'Ylawjk of County Low Interest On School Bonds Securities Sold at Fort to Finance Two New Buildings FORT interest rates below the national Dow Jones average for municipal bonds Fort Atkinson school No. 6 Thursday opened bids on $400,000 in 20-year bonds to finance construction of two new elementary schools.

Low bid, among the seven from 11 bond houses, was from the combined Channer Securities investment bankers, Chicago, and the William Blair New York and. Chicago. The two firms presented a low effective interest rate of 2.019 per cent on the securities authorized by a special school district election Dec. 15. O.

Allen Myers, representing the two bonding firms, said the national average interest for municipal bonds at the present time was 2.43 per cent. "This low bid is one very few communities would receive," Myers said. Good Credit Risk "Fort Atkinson is considered a very good credit risk," Myers continued. He said all economic factors, including industries and surrounding agricultural area, were considered in arriving at the rate. School board president William Knox expressed pleasure over the low rate, and said the whole community should be congratulated for making the economic picture favorable.

The bonds will be retired at the rate of $20,000 annually beginning July 1, 1956, and running through July 1, 1970. The last four years the remaining balance will be retired at the rate of $25,000 annually until July 1, 1974, when the debt will be completely paid. The interest will be paid semiannually, Myers said. Plans Nearly Ready Plans for the two six-room elementary schools are expected to be finished by the middle of this month and Knox said the board hopes to advertise for bids as soon as possible. About $360,000 has been earmarked to build two identical buildings, one on the Pettite property on S.

Main street, and the other in the Knob Hill area. The remaining $40,000 will be used to landscape and equip the new buildings. Mis. Roberts New Head of Jefferson Past Matrons Club W. C.

The arsenic-inspired antics of two mid-Victorian spinsters oblivi- to the bustling environs of present-day Brooklyn drew repeated laughter fntm the nearly 900 play watchers who filled one iside of the gymnasium bleachers.

Under the able direction of Miss Jean Hoard, each member of the cast seemed to fit the individual part. "Arsenic and Old Lace" is somewhat unique in that while some players have more lines than others, it would be difficult to pick a male and female lead. Anderson, complete with TR's favorite saying, and San Juan Hill trumpet call delighted Ithe audience each time he ap-; 'peared briefly on the stage. His tropical costume for a trip "to the Panama Canal added to the mirth. Bonnie Jackowitz and Barbara Pemberton as Abby and Martha Brewster, the old maids with a pas- Ision for poison, minced their way through the three-act comedy with considerable credit.

The villain, Jonathan Brewster a black sheep nephew, and his side I kick, Dr. Einstein, who obviously was no relation to the Einstein of relativity fame, added a sinister form of comedy and formed the confused situation which resolved itself for the betterment of human- Ruth Ann Agen, Donald Vetense Wed at Hebron Ruth Ann Agen, daughter of Mr. and Mrs. Curtis Agen, Palmyra, became the bride of Donald Vetense Jan. 29 in the Hebron Methodist parsonage, the Rev.

Donald Kelley officiating. The bride wore a dress of teal blue taffeta with matching accessories. Miss Janet Agen, who attended her sister, wore an identical dress. Robert Vetense was best man for his brother. A dinner in their honor was given Sunday in the Curtis Agen home.

The couple will live at the A. X. Cummings apartments on Maple street, Palmyra. He is employed at the Waukesha Tile Works and his bride at the Oaks Manufacturing Elkhorn. Palmyra Briefs Vincent Fisher and Van Breeze left Saturday for a two weeks trip to California.

Mr. and Mrs. Harold Stacey left Tuesday to spend two weeks in Florida. Lawrence Trewyn returned home Fort Seniors Entertain 900 With "Arsenic, Old Lace" ity in the climax. Jack Sanders handled the part of hardened criminal Jonathan with skill, and became more convincing as the play Iprogressed.

His partner, alcholic, (face changing Dr. Einstein, played by Dick Carmichael, was an immediate hit after his first speech in a well perfected Peter Lorrie i whine. Love interest in the play was provided by sane Mortimer Brewster, a Broadway critic, played by iDwane Kamla, and Elaine Harper, a minister's daughter portrayed by Ellen Warnke. Being two of the very few characters who were sane, their lines were often less than the other less lanced Brewsters. Police officers Brophy, Klein, O'Hara and Rooney, played by Jim Gross, Jim Barnhart, Tom Bartol and Terry Rose, respectively, upheld the dignity of the law in their shorter but well handled parts.

Bob Ross, as Rev. Dr. Harper, Duane Morrow as a prospective roomer, Mr. Hibbs, and Doug Sperry as Mr. Witherspoon, super- intedent of Happy Dale, an institution for mental cases rounded out the cast.

Members of the audience sitting in the rear bleacher seats experienced some dificulty bearing the lines-of the play, as the sound to carry in the large gymnasium. Stage and property crews are to be complimented on their prepara- ation, Bill Frentzel was stage man- lager and Irene Sandvold, student director. 17 Quality ior Forensic Finals LAKE The preliminary contest in the high school forensics 'series was held at the school Wednesday afternoon, with 32' junior and senior speech students competing.

"If they are against the family, they are opposed to the will of the father: If they are against God, then, whatever may be the basis fear, prejudice, or aught are sin."
