This is certainly a growing organization and factor for good in the school jtnd community. Several hundred people availed themselves of the opportunity of meeting at the community hall in Orange City Sunday evening for the Sacred Concert by the Northwestern Junior College Choir, under the able direction of the director Miss Fern Smith.

The Choir sang each number with mucli feeling and beauty of tone, and the large audience, sat iittentively through each of the well selected group, solo, men's chorus, and quartette numbers. The College is to be congratulated for having in its midst such a splendid group of talented young men and young women. Letters of commendation have been received from Miss Ivah Green, the Rural School Supervisor, who recently visited many of the Standard Rural schools in the County. This was Miss Green's first visit to Sioux County since she became the inspector, and she wiis delighted to find so many fine buildings and equipment as well as teachers and pupils doing real work. Her letters have been mailed to the teachers she visited as well as directors of the schools.

The April edition of the "MAURICE Hl-LITES" came to the Office this week. This school ysually features an editorial column which is very good. We note this school observed whiit it termed "A CAMPUS DAY" on Friday the 18th of April. Pupils brought rakes and baskets, and all pitched in and really cleaned the school grounds. Food was provided for all as soon as the job was completed.

NEWS Clean Up Farmstead Although this is the busy season on the farm, half day do voted to cleaning up farm scrap piles would be time well spent, county extension director, J. E. Ellis, thinks. "Sioux County farmers could turn a rainy afternoon into ready cash by gathering up all scrap steel that has accumulated around the place and selling it," Ellis says. He points out that scrap steel has jumped from 75 to $33.75 a ton wholesale.

While the steel scraps are being picked up, time could be taken to clean up other trash piles around fence corners and farm buildings. Not only does this improve the looks of the place, but it cuts down on possible fire hazards and eliminates breeding places for rats and other vermin. "Some 3500 people are burned to death annually in rural America, and the rural property loss runs close to 100 million dollars," Ellis reports. Care should be taken to get rid of rubbish and old furniture which has accumulated in barns, attics and outbuildings. Chimneys and flues should be cleaned out and dcid vines, brush, and weeds removed from along fence rows and near farm buildings.

Ellis pointed out oily rags, frayed electric cords and defective equipment, loose wooden shingles and semi-clogged furr- aces as items needing special attention in the clean-up drive. Clean-up Helps Fly Control Annual spring clean-ups going on in many towns and rural areas right now can help mightily controlling "hext summer's crop of flies, the reminder made this week by J. S. Ellis, county extension director. Eyesores around the farm or home are glaringly apparent right now, and a lot of them are fine for breeding flies.

Brouwer, head of the Boyden Public Schools, has resigned this position and accepted the Superintendency of the Mapleton Public school for ne.xt year. Sup't Brouwer has given Boyden a good school and deserved the promotion he received. Prior to going to Boyden Mr. Brouwer was Superintendent of the Orange City school.

Mr. B. G. Tye, Superintendent of the Owasa school, has been elected Superintendent of the Hull Public school for next year. He formerly Superintendent of the Ireton Public school for eight years.

Many rural schools have observed a "clean up day" at their schools the past week. AVe hope all rural teachers will have a real house cleaning as well as cleaning up the grounds before the end of school. Old worn out books and workbooks should be discarded, and there should be no piles of papers and boxes of matches left in the building during the summer.

A new basic foreign policy has now been promulgated for the U.S. as a result of President Truman's speech on the Greek situation. At this writing, indications seem to point to Congressional approval. This means that the U. which took a definite path away from isolationism when it ratified the U.N.

Charter, now travels even further on the road to. building one world. As the President pointed out, we won't obtain the objective under the Charter of freedom for all people unless we are willing to help them maintain freedom against totalitarian movements. This is a historic er.i in our lives, as our country moves on broadening the scope of its foreign policy. James Reston, Pulitzer-prize- winning writer for the New York Times, points out that the President's speecli, while showing weakness of the United Nations in not being equipped yet to handle the Greek situation, at the same time gives imnetus to the drive to get military forces behind UN as provided for in the Charter.

The Military Staff Committe of UN has not yet been able to take action on the matter of forces. ALSO Dr. Bernard Drzo- Wieski, (pronounced Jevieski) who is Director of the Reconstruction and Reliabilitation Section of UNESCO, recently arrived in this country for a speaking tour. I heard him the other day tell of the condition of schools in his native Poland and other devastated countries. He cited not only the lack of school books but the roofless buildings in which students and teachers have to gather, no benches, no blackboards and often one pencil for all.

He said the ''hildren are beginning to forget the fine movement for building good international relations is being sponsored by the American Women's Voluntary Services in their Friendshio Boxes.
