They are Nels Landgren, a carpenter here for the last 28 years, and Edward A. Newman, an em- ploye of Jacob E. Decker and Sons for 13 years. Both candidates stated that if elected they would seek to maintain the high level of teaching, administrative and educational efficiency for which the local schools have always been noted. Mr.

Newman was a member ot the Community Chest board in 1939, in charge of the campaign in the Decker plant, and has been selected to serve on the local census board. He is a member of the Loyal Older the Moose and the Fraternal Order of the Eagles. He is married and has two children. Mr. Landgren, a carpenter for more than 40 years, asserted that the fact that Mason City has one of the best school systems in the state, I have no desire to interfere with the present program, but the working people as well as a good many professional and businessmen think that labor should be represented on the school board." He has for several years favored vocational training and night schools for adults who wish to further their education, an ambition which was realized this year.

The recently opened night school now has 15 enrollees, he said, and indications are that'this will be increased. Also on the ballots will be names of three incumbents, R. E. Hobei-t- son, president of the board for the last year; R. E.
