SUNDAY, AUGUST 10, 1947 THE DAILY PLAINSMAN. HURON. S. D. PAGE SEVEN Special County School Board Refuses To Transfer Tax-Land Attempts to transfer farmland out of the Virgil independent school district into lower taxed Dearborn common school district were rejected Saturday by a specially constituted Beadle County board of education.

Sitting on the board, which is organized only when such transfer petitions occasion it, w-sre Miss Margaret Long, Beadle County Ex-Convict Now Formally Charged MILLER, Aug. 10 Ex-convict John Hancock. 21, Miller, was in Hand County jail today formally charged with the attempted rape of a four-year-old Miller girl. Hancock confessed Thursday night to abducting the child, daughter of Mr. and Mrs.

Howard Conerton of Miller, claiming mental blank due to drinking. a State's Attorney Paul Burke and Sheriff Irvin Hanks charged that the child was picked up while playing on the school grounds, taken outside of town by her abductor, then brought back and released on Main Street. The child's parents complained to Sheriff Hanks who arrested Hancock a short time later. The confessed abductor was released from the state prison at Sioux Falls last April after spending three years on a conviction for theft. Burke said Hancock claimed that he "suddenly found himself out in the country in his truck with the little girl beside him." George Haynes Of Yale Is Buried Funeral Wednesday services were held morning, Aug.

The board gave a majority refusal to transfer the- land of Ted Ochsner, Virgil farmer, to Dearborn supervision. After denying the Ochsner test case, the board also denied four other similar petitions to transfer Virgil land to Dearborn, Miss Long said.

Ochsner, through his attorney. Jon Fosheim, maintained that Virgil high school was inadequate to give proper preparatory training to his daughter as a basis for college training. He Said he could not send her to Huron high school and pay "comparatively high school taxes." Also, by being under the Dearborn common school! district, taxes would be lower andi Huron Woman One Of First To Sit On Jury Mrs. Gertrude Coursey, 319 Third St. S.

today said she would be "happy to do her part" upon being notified of the fact that she was the first woman in South Dakota to be chosen to sit on a federal petit jury. Mrs. Coursey's name was the first to be drawn out of the hat when the panels for federal and grand juries were drawn in Sioux Falls Friday. A new state law permits women to serve on juries. Mrs.

Gladys E. Erhstrom was the first woman selected to serve on the federal grand jury. Mrs. Coursey was the first of 32 women chosen for the petit jury duty in the September term at Deadwood. Names -were drawn by Clerk of Courts Roy.

Temmey, Huton Eva Norman of Pierre, Irene ron attorney representing the Vij-gil independent school district scored the move as one "seeking to evade the responsibilities of McMurchie of Centerville, Anna Struble of Centerville, Esther Jones of Redfield.

Mrs. Coursey said she has long maintaining free public schools been an advocate of women's and placing private interestsli ur rights and campaigned for it at Pierre several years ago as a member of the National League of "Women Voters. "Naturally, I'm in favor of women on juries," she said. "And although it's a little odd my name was chosen first, I'll be happy to do my part. I think women should take a more active interest in all phases of government." above the common good." Temmey declared to the board that the free school was the basis of the democratic form of government and that it should not be hampered here by the removing of taxable property from the Virgil district.

"This is just the forerunner of many other petitions of a similar nature by people who wish to have their land taxed as easily as possible," Temmey said. "In this case, the granting of such petitions would cause the close of the Virgil school system removing the advantages of high school education for many young people in that area." After the Ochsner appeal, four more petitions of the same type were presented to the board by Huron Attorney Max Royhl and were rejected. SENATE (Continued from Page One) ized spending for entertainment. But he denied that any entertainment expenses were part of some $150,000 in costs for the flying boat which he said the government refused to allow. Ferguson had asked him about that.

E. Miller, Seattle, was hired by Percy Phillips, highway superintendent, to open a safe which hadn't been used in years because of a lost combination.

"I've been a professional safe cracker for 47 years," Miller declared, "and never have been in jail once." When queried if he used the methods of Jimmy Valentine, Miller retorted: "Sandpaper my ringers? They only do that in movies. Miller said that he sells safes, besides opening them for people who have mislaid combinations. COUNTY (Continued from Page One) the provisional budget $3,000 was appropriated and nothing was shown as being left in that special account. According to the quarterly report of County Treasurer James Worrall, the balance was actually near $12,000. Change Made Friday the commission added the $28,000 (the $25,000 plus the to the "balance on hand" side of the budget ledger, removing that money from the amount to be collected through the tax levy.

The increase in county levied taxes for -1948 now represents a change of approximately 50 per cent compared with those levied in 1947. Last year $169,333 was ordered raised by taxes--1948's will be near $250,000. Most of the $80,000 jump was mandatory under newly enacted South Dakota laws. The laws provide for pay increases in prac- ticaDy every county office and also provide large budgetary increases for new items. Over $57,000 had to be apportioned out for county maintained high schools, formerly supervised by townships.

An extra $3,700 was added to pay for a county nurse and. a juvenile officer. Salary funds in general came in for a 32 per cent boost, approximately $46,500 for 1948 as compared with $35,170 for 1947. The commissioners themselves were allowed 50 per cent pay increases. Until the first of July this year commissioners had received $1,000 a year; after that date, they were to receive an additional $500 a year--a total of $1,500.

Allotments for agricultural ex- tension and for weed and grasshopper control were given boosts of more than 55 per cent. This year's appropriation was $4,600 while the amount expected to be spent next year was totaled at $7,155. The total amount budgeted to r. when they moved to Yale.

2. "Hatred" of army officers prevented his getting orders for other planes before the war. The army wouldn't touch planes he designed "with a 10-foot pole." 3. It appeared "more than a coincidence" that the Lockheed Company designed a twin-engine iterceptor plane, which became the famous P-38 Lightning, after the army compelled him to "sit" four months on a similar design and Lockheed hired engineers he had to lay off. 4.

"We do not see any relief in sight for the car shortage on this line," Johnson said. "There is just too much-demand for too few cars." Wheat yields and quality were good throughout the county.

It took the army and navy eight years, he said, to equal his plane's performance, but the Japanese patterned their renowned "Zero" after it. 5. The big cargo boat has been structurally complete for months.

What is holding up the test is the trouble with controls. Hughes said the plane has passed the size where the controls can be operated by manpower alone. 6.

WEATHER (Continued from Page One) board of trade, corn for future delivery roared up the 8-cent limit permitted -in a single trading session.

September corn closed at making the fourth time this week that a new record high in the board's 99-year history has been set. Most Americans eat corn as some other food. This country's agriculture economy, by feeding corn on the farm, turns the grain into beef, pork, butter, cheese, chickens, eggs, milk and other products. The supply of these foods would be endangered by a corn crop failure. Corn also has a wide application in induslry.

Its uses are innumerable, ranging everywhere from filling for horse collars to binders for brushes. It has an extensive use as starch, sugar and syrups. Textiles and explosives, leather and beer, all are dependent on corn to varying extents. An agriculture department crop forecast will be issued Monday.
