AA Rating for Albany School by State Board High Rating Reached By Few Schools In This Part of State The Albany school system 'has been officially classified as an AA school with 42 units of credit being approved for the high school, it was learned here last week in a letter to J. M. Dale, secretary of The knife, the patrolman said, had Quite A Deal! Business people in Albany have their fun along with a lot of work and worries. Last wevk. Richard Barrett was cleaning out in a back room at the Hardin drug store.

He came upon a box containing a tool which was not labeled. He asked Byron Hardin about it but Mr. Kardln said he did not know, except he had been moving the box around in the store room for years. G. M.

Allen was in the store and was questioned. "Doc" is an ex-Perd dealer and identified the tool as a valve lifter for a Model Ford. Barrett immediately took his discovery to the Lambert Ford garage here and there made a "big deal." For every Model Ford valve lifted with the discovered tool, the Lambert company is to pay a royalty. (No announcement was made of the size of the royalty.) Fred Lambert, in commenting on the happening, pointed to the great change not only in autos since the days of the models, but also the great difference in tools as shown by the one uncovered last week in comparison to the tools in use today in repairing cars. No one has yet disclosed what an auto tool was doing in a drug store especially for that length of time.

The last Model Ford was in 1927 24 years ago. One New School District Presents Many Problems Meeting Held Here Last Thursday Night Following Election There is one new school district. R-l. in Gentry county while the other districts remain the same following the elections of last Wednesday in the three proposed districts. The new district is the one voted around King City, the ones centering at Albany and at Stanberry were not voted.

Problems relating to the R-l district were discussed here last Thursday nigh.t The R-l district is the King City district that embraces seven of the rural school districts surrounding that town. The Albany and Stanberry districts were designated as R-2 and R-3. However, since the plan did not carry in those districts, that number has no significance. The trend as shown in this news-paper last week when it went to press continued in Albany throughout the election and the final figures were: For the plan, 129; against the plan, 432. The vote for the district was as follows: Albany For, 07; and against.

229. Gentry For, 29; and against 182. Lone Star For, against 21. The vote in the Stanberry district was 327 for the plan and 462 against it The vote was divided in this manner: Stanberry For, 302; and against 262. Darlington For.

and against 91. Alanthus For, 18; and against, 109. There were two voting places in The Rev. George W. Manning was at Rosendale Monday night to attend a planning meeting in preparation for a simultaneous re vival among northwest Missouri Christian churches in October.

Mamie Lowe, well known and highly respected Albany citi zen, died at her home here last Thursday afternoon at 5:55 o'- 7n vV.r, 70 years of age. Mrs. Lowe had been ill with the board of education from H. Pat Wardlaw, assistant commissioner of instruction and planning, of the state department of education, at Jefferson City. Few schools in this part of the state have gained this high rating and the members of the school board and Supt O.

Moore are pleased with having attaining the goal. 1 The letter stated that the state supervisor of public schools. F. Allison, has now forwarded the reports for the school to the state office and that the reports, to gether with the supervisory visits "of your supervisor and your coun- ty superintendent of schools, form the basis for your school's classification." The report shows that the Albany school met the following goals: Board of education policies satisfactory, education program I adequate, both elementary and nign school, transportation program satisfactory, supplies and equipment adequate both elementary and high school, school sites satisfactory, custodial service efficient libraries adequate, teaching methods satisfactory, school administration efficiently organized, community support satisfactory and faculty support satisfactory. Listed as not met were the goals of adequate buildings and the salary schedule.

Supt. Moore ex plained that more room is needed and that the bond issue was voted last year in an effort to build a grade school building. The state also wants teachers paid on the basis of their degrees and experience while the local board has in the past made some difference in salaries of the grade and the high school teachers.

By action of the board of aldermen the tax levy for 1951 will be 11.22V in comparison to the levy of last year. The same levy of 73 cents was voted for the general fund. The general fund is one which normally is overdrawn each year, but the 75-cent levy is the limit that can be set by the city council. Also kept at the same figure is the levy for the city library which is 12V4 cents. That tax was one voted a number of yean ago and is barely sufficient to maintain the library.

The sewer bond fund tax levy was cut by the council from 15 cents to 10 cents. The former tax levy of 15 cents has built up a reserve fund which is now in U. S. bonds and which can be used in paying off the remaining bonds which are of the type which cannot be retired before they are due. After considerable discussion.

the airport bond fund was kept at 25 cents. This levy has allowed the city to retire a number of bonds before they are due, and thus save paying of much interest. The park tax of 5 cents which had been levied for several years was dropped. Sufficient funds are available to pay the bonds out standing. The tax levy ordinance was adopted by roll call vote with all aldermen present voting for it Aldermen present were Jack Cox, Henry Coburn, Barnard King, Elmer Hanson, Jason Brown, V.

Adv. 47-tf. I I i kidnapping of a St. Joseph mother and her 16 months old daughter. The Stanberry trooper had been delayed in going to Grant City and decided to work in the Stanberry area until supper time and then go to Worth county.

Therefore, by accident he was in Stanberry when he received a radio dispatch at 4:55 o'clock telling of the kid- napping and that the man wanted had driven away in a 1949 Pontiac with Missouri license plates No. 678-971. The trooper started driving toward King City on highway 19 At the Ole Olson farm near the Island City road, the trooper saw a car that answered the description ffivpn Whm th driver nf thp far saw the highway patrol car, he immediately increased his speed, Watkins turned his Datrol car around and gave chase at speeds up to 95 miles per hour. He got close enough to the car to see the license and had his red light on as Fanninff turnori the par intn the Ovid Law farm driveway. Fan- ning drove up to the larm house, and realizing he could not go any further, stopped and same out 'if the car with his hands in the air.

It was only 5:10 o'clock, just 15 minutes after the first radio flash, that Trooper Watkins called the St. Jnspnh natrol headauarters and reported he had the man wanted under arrest. Trooner Watkins said Fanning told him that he was headed for St Louis and was trying to avoid the main traveled highways. He said that he had driven on a num ber of dirt roads in leaving St. Joseph to avoid any patrolmen.

He had thought he was safe after get-1 Driver Fined $50 And License to Be Suspended Geo.

George Thomas Gillespie, who is completing work at the University of Missouri to receive his master's degree in the field of animal nu trition, was notified from Wash' ington recently that he had been selected by the Board of Foreign Scholarships, as authorized by the Fulbright act of the 79th congress, for a scholarship in biochemistry. The institution of affiliation for this advanced research would be the University of Otago, at Dunne- dine or the Massey Agricultural College at Palmerston, North New Zealand. At the same time of this notification, George also received notice to report as of June 6 to Fort Hood, as second lieutenant for services in the armed forces. He is a son of Mr. and Mrs.

Edmondson made the trip to the parking meters with his little collecting device, for many persons were interested in knowing what the "take" was. For the one-week period the parking meters had received a total of $144.20.

One-half of that amount remains here and the other one-half goes to the parking meter company to apply on the purchase of the meters. "Big Ed" found a Japanese coin in one of the meters and a slug or two. but the balance was good nickels and one-cent pieces. 1 the point of the blade broken, and "wasn much or weapon.

St Joseph authorities said Fan- nine had returned to his home in St Joseph a few weeks ago after beme released mm a Uranite, prison, where he' served two years for Burglary. He has also previously served time at the Mis- souri reformatory at Boonville for burglary. i At the time of his arrest. Fanning was told by Trooper Watkins that he had badly scared the St. Joseph woman and he told the patrolman, "I meant to." Still Another Judge! Chief C.

E. Edmondson has what might be termed a trying experience with Judges in this parking meter situation. The latest judge to have one of those neat stickers placed on his car is Atty. 1. L.

Redman, city police JudgwC It seems that last Friday as Edmondson was making his rounds, he found a red flag visibly showing in the meter where Redman's car was parked. The notification was immediately placed on it. Apparently Redman was guilty and since he is the police judge, who would have tried the case? The result: A 5-cent fine was paid. It might be worry with the judges, and then again, it could be the walking, but it is reliably reported that the chief of police has lost 18 pounds in weight in the first two weeks of parking meter operation, and that his uniform fits just a bit more loosely now than it did when purchased.
