New School Assured ATRONS of school district 14 (Belleville) were elated this week to learn that all seventeen jroneral contractors bids for the new Belleville school were less than the funds thus the erection cf the new school as originally planned by the sc'iool hoard and architects was assured. reasons probably contributed to the fact that there were so many bidders and the fact that the architect 's estimate of $8.00 per square foot stood up. In the first place the building was conservatively gingerbread and were allowed to pad the price. Second- the letting was held at a lucky the general contractors were "hungry" and looking for their first jobs of the year. And thirdly sufficient time was allowed builder.s for the erection of the building.

Contractors will be able to do a better job of shopping and buying materials and will be able to work on the project when they have the labor pool available. The school district was also fortunate that the high school iDonds sold at the present good price of ,35, which is an indication of what' outsiders think of the future of our community. PRICES WILL we anticipate the inauguration of our president, John Kennedy, we can rest assured that prices soon will start another spiral. Mr. Kennedy has promised a minimum wage of $1.25 per hour.

As soon as this law is placed in effect hundreds of manufacturers will readjust their prices upward to assure that they will have sufficient incomes to meet their payrolls which in turn will pass the increase on to the retail buyer. This will affect thousands of items throughout the so if you're one of those persons waiting for the price to go down, on practically any commodity, the odds are against you. MORE BUILDING IN THE estimate from a qualified source predicts that there will be more building and industrial expansiion in the ten year, period of the 1960's than in the previous sixty years leading up it. This prediction seems impossible, but a quick comparison of the past ten years in building makes such a thing entirely feasible. If this is true, one thing is certain, a lot of people are going to have to readjust their ways, of thinking.

TRAFFIC fatalities FATALITIES 1960 were about death ten percent lower than the previous year released statistics show. They were better than any surrounding state. Kansas fatalities totaled 510 in 1960 and 567 in 1959. Republic county record wasn't so good. We had eleven fatalities in 1960 against only six in 1959.

Just to show how much confidence people have that this is going to be a mild winter, the local theatre manager advertised an ice show by displaying huge blocks of ice in front of the theatre this past week.

An enemy wouldn't do much unless he scored almost a direct hit, which is unlikely. Probably most important of all, the sites are so dispersed over the countryside it just wouldn't be practical, militarily, to seek them all out, the army says.

One thing is certain, the government and the army have finally realized that Kansas' located in the middle of the United States which is pr'bably the fartherest and safest place from any enemy.

The semi-annual meeting of There have been times in the lives of most of us when we have felt that circumstances or conditions were unjust. There have been times when it has appeared that another person has treated us unfairly. But the truth is, when we come to know and to believe in God's law of justice, we find freedom from thse feelings and beliefs in injustice. Most of our feelings of injustice are right in our own minds. It is when we are tempted to THINK we have been unjustly treated that we need to look away from the appearances and to depend on God, on His law fff divine justice to bring forth our own good.

It is not always easy to erase hurt feelings from our minds. It is not always easy to see how justice can come forth out of certain circumstances, but even when We cannot see how the good is to come forth, we need to keep our faith steadfast; we need to believe absolutely in God's unfailing law of justice and right. The good that springs forth 'from many of these so-called unjust experiences in the manner in which we handle them, the attitude of mind with which we 'face them. Each time we handle them in the way God wants us to handle theni with tolerance, forbearance, and love we are strengthening our spiritual nature just a bit more. And that is the GOOD we extract from them.

We bring forth justice in our lives and affairs by having unshakable faith in God. With God working for us, in us, through us, the ultimate outcome of any situation will be right and just for us and for all concerned. "Open thou mine eyes, that I may behold Wondrous things out of thy 119:18. F. P.
