Men's Florsheim Balcony, 12th Grand Only SEVENTEEN HAVE SIGNED Merger With Kansas City Is Favored by 13 of the 32 Members of Group A report written with a mild and nonprovocative tone is, nevertheless, likely to be the focal point of future school controversy in Hickman Mills. The school board of consolidated district No. 1 now has the final report of a committee formed last May to explore the pros and cons of merging the present district with the Kansas City district. Two separate7 recommendations to the school board are contained in the report, reflecting the differences of opinion among the annexation study committee members. Both Sides Given One is that the district try to merge with Kansas City, and the other is that it continue to develop as a separate entity.

Members of the 32-member committee are being asked to sign one recommendation or the other. Four members so far have affixed their signatures to the separate development proposal. Thirteen have signed the recommendation favoring annexation. Many of the others have not yet seen the report, which is now in the office of Tom For-aker, superintendent, and which is available there to committee members wishing to study the recommendations. Among the pros listed in the report: Scholastically, the Kansas City school district has more to offer students, including more scholarships, services for retarded and disturbed children, student counseling and teaching requirements.

The present school levy in Kansas City is $2.99 on $100 valuation. In Hickman Mills, the levy is $3.75 which is considered inadequate for our needs. Kansas City has a higher limit on bonded indebtedness and has a larger assessed valuation behind each pupil 9,766 to 4,280. Kansas City school district graduates can attend Junior college more cheaply. List Opposing View Among the cons listed: Classrooms in Hickman Mills schools are now overcrowded and a merger probably would not bring immediate relief.

Residents of Hickman Mills would be outvoted 8 to 1 and Kansas City doesnt have the large percentage of parents of school age -children we have. The last school year was marked by talk of an impending financial crisis especially after a proposal to raise the levy from $3.75 to $4.75 failed and some persons offered the alternatives of either raising the levy are seeking an accommodation with the Kansas City district. At a meeting in May to determine school district needs, several committees were formed to study specific problems. The 32-member annexation committee, headed by a school board member, Robert C. Oliver, was one.

Oliver says, in a preface to the report, that it is recognized that logical differences of opinion may undoubtedly exist. To allow for these differences, which do, in fact, exist, two separate recommendations to the school boadr are contained in the report. Most Is in City Center and Raytown school districts separate the Kansas City district from Hickman Mills. Yet the Hickman Milis school district, with the exception of a small corner, is entirely within the corporate limits of Kansas City. Included in the report is a copy of an opinion submitted by a Kansas City law firm which states that annexation is possible even though the boundaries are not contiguous, if the initiative comes from Hickman Mills, not Kansas City.

The first step would be a petition to be presented to the school board and signed by 10 per cent of the qualified voters, asking that a vote be taken to determine the sense of the people on this matter. If a majority favors annexation, then a proposal could be submitted by the Hickman Mills school board to the Kansas City school board. So far the Kansas City school board has not gone on record on the possible annexation.

THORP TO ENTER NAVY CHARGES OF BURGLARY ARE DISMISSED Enlistment end Good Behavior Are Conditions Imposed by County Attorney Charges of burglary and grand larceny against Thomas Thorp, 20, witness in the murder trial of Lloyd Lee Harsh, were dismissed yesterday to allow Thorp to enlist in the Navy.

Y. (P.P) Britain again challenged the authority of the U. N. Security Council yesterday to interfere in its administration of the African territory of Southern Rhodesia. Sir Patrick Dean, chief of the British delegation, called for the council to quash any action demanded by 32 African countries to prevent Britain from transferring constitutional powers, and air force and army units to Southern Rhodesia.

Dean told the council that nothing in the U. N. charter gave any U. N. body the right to alter Britains decision that Southern Rhodesia was a self-government territory for four decades.

Furthermore, he said, the territory was tranquil and enjoying a period of internal cairn that might be the envy of certain of its neighbors.1 TERRORISTS ON MOVE Three Acts of Violence Occur in Caracas in a Night Caracas AP Pro-Communist terrorists strafed police headquarters with submachine-gun fire, dynamited a U. gas line and forced four women employees to strip naked in the robbery of an appliance store Monday night.

The rate was 112.1 in 1962, compared with 117.2 in 1961, a drop of 4.4 per cent.

Both the birth rate and the fertility rate reached a peak for recent years in 1957 at 25 and 121.2, respectively. Since 1957, the birth rate has declined at an annual rate of 2.2 per cent and the fertility rate has dropped at a rate of 1.6 per cent. The health service said the greater degree of decline in the birth rate as compared with the fertility rate came about primarily because children were being added to the population faster than women of childbearing age. This was due largely, it was explained, to smaller numbers of births in the early 1930s depression years.
