Through the efforts of teachers and students a combined total for the elementary and high school totaled $609.95.

Room solicitation in the elementary schools featured the youthful drive to aid youngsters suffering from the dread polio affliction. The highest room collection was that of Room 28 in the High School Building. A movie was shown to all of the children of the elementary schools with an entrance donation of ten cents, the proceeds of which were turned over to the polio fund. This amounted to $51.77. Room contributions in the lower grades totaled $273.18, making a grand total of $324.95 Students Run High School Monday Of This Week The Brockway High School Student Council last Monday, took over the operation of the local high school for a one-day period.

Drainage sewers and diversion ditches are among the first acts of the construction of the new Junior -Senior High School Building.

These needs directly affect the welfare of all people living in the district.

Scouts distributed in 1952 more than 1,000,000 posters and placed 30,000,000 Liberty Bell doorknob hangers in their first nation-wide get-out-the-vote effort.

This effort was said to be an important factor in the record turnout of sixty million viters.

The State Chamber pointed out that any reduction which gress may make in the proposed budget will, of course, reduce the amount that Jefferson County taxpayers will have to bear in direct and indirect tax payments.

For Pennsylvania taxpayers as a whole, the Chamber estimated the ultimate cost at $4,692,000,000. This was computed on the basis of a statistically-weighted formula which indicates that Penn-sylvanians pay 7.2 per cent of the cost of running the Federal Government. The size of Jefferson County's prospective tax liability under the new Federal budget, which is for the fiscal year starting next July 1, takes on more meaning when it is compared to total real estate assessments and in dustrial wage and salary payments in the county. According to the State Tax Equalization Board, this county's assessed valuation of all taxable real property for 1954 county tax purposes totalled $20,994. This is only $4,572 greater than the county's prospective Federal tax liability.

Total wages and salaries paid to employees in manufacturing, mining and quarrying in Jefferson County in 1954 amounted to $17,320, according to the State Department of Internal Affairs. For Pennsylvania as a whole, the State's estimated Federal tax share of $4,692,000,000 is equal to almost four-fifths of otal wage and salary payments to Pennsylvania industrial employees in 1954. The wage and salary total was $5,945,000,000. The state-wide total of property assessments for county tax purposes amounted to $11,315,000,000. The State Chamber computed individual county shares of the Federal budget cost by prorating the estimated cost among the 67 counties on the basis of population, retail sales, market value of taxable real property, and estimated effective buying income.
