Oscar Johnson, Council Bluffs attorney, spoke against it, claiming It had been turned down before and circumstances have not changed.

Fritz Stortenbecker said many rural roads on the west side of the district are nearly impassable. "You shpve to use horseback sometimes to go anywhere. And in Treynor they have an awful time I heard they sometimes get the children to school as late as 1 p.

and home by 8 at night." Emmet Tinley, Council Bluffs attorney, compared tax rates, saying Pleasant township school taxes would raise from 61 to 75 cents an acre while Minden's would drop to 75 cents from He criticized the plan because it would cost $30,000 a year to transport 36 children to add to the present 103 enrollment in the Mlnden school. A Mrs. Parker said the small towns were just using country support to keep their schools going. She called the district a temporary solution of little value. 377 Names on Petition.

Ferd Pleper, president of Mln- den school district said 377 names on the petition approved it, that roads were as good there as anywhere else and the bus merely had to go down one road and back He said he saw very few farmers coming to town orij horses. Random shots in sundry directions ended the hearing "I heard the bus comes 1H miles from the house "You know what the law says, it goes by the gate "If a Model can't make it, how can a school bus?" "I can take the tax money and board my children cheaper in Council Bluffs "In my 32 years In York township, we've had spongy clay roads caused by the hardpan and it takes a iractor to pull a car through." "We mailmen find roads Impassable only 8 or 10 days a year." "Once Your In." "Once you're In, you can't vote yourself out because the city folks will outvote you every time I know a farmer who would give $500 to get out of a consolidated district "It's democracy that the people have the right to decide If 377 people want to vote on It, we ought to vote and settle it a i Then Johnson pointed out that the county superintendent was given the right to decide by Inw, and questioned whether people signing the petition wanted the consolidation or merely wanted it brought to a public election. Mrs. Leonard asked for further comments and then adjdurned the meeting, assuring the group of 50 people that she would decide within 5 days. G.

That's meaning of the British project of forming a federal union for self-government in India and passing It on to the Indians ready made, so to speak The great Indian political parties having failed to settle their bitter differences In the recent jound table conference at Simla, Britain now is arbitrarily moving to set up a government and is inviting the Indians to come along and run it--to make what they will out of to the extent of severing all rela tlons with the mother country There are Indications of sfcxon? opposition to the. plan among 1 Moslems, who desire a wholly I state (Pakistan) for themsslTss. But Mahatma Gandhi, most powerful political figure In the country and guiding light of the all-India congress (mainly Hindu) has advised careful study oj the proposals, saying: "Whether peopls like the announcement or not, it is going to be the most momentous one In this history of India." That puts the thing in a nutshell Of course, we still have to see whether the plan will work, but It's the best effort, that's been made in the long history of. thrf bloody disputs Britain's new socialist prime Minister Attlee and Ms govern ment have moved with great courage For India is among England's most cherished possessions There are Imperialists who 1 in their hearts--and perhaps publicly--will chargs Attlse with having thrown away one of the most priceless of the crown Jewels. Still, somebody had to make the move, lor the Indian problem been a menace to world peace.

The British plan on thumbnail is this' The federal union will comprise the provinces (called British India) and the some 600 Indian states which are ruled by princes and lesser potentates There will be a central government which will control foreign affairs, defense and communications A matters will be dealt with by the governments of the principalities and the provinces The Indian leaders have gone Into a huddle to discuss the project. On their decisions depends the immediate of 400000,000 people--one i the population of the whole world Arid it Is a matter which affects the welfare of the entire globe Whei Skin Torture Drivel You Mad!
