ALTON fiVENINO TELBGRAPH osewood Heights Favors 'Home 9 Grade School Over Roxana WEDNESDAY, ULY ffg, 0 in Fctuor Of Structure majority ef the Rosewood Heights IfflWevement Association favor construction of a grade school in Ihe Rosewood Heights area by Rexana Unit District 1 rather than transporting younger children to the proposed new grade school at Roxana. By show of hands, all but three 8f four of the association members who met on the lawn at the home of Walter Hale Tuesday right, favored a school in ths area. Action was taken for the benefit of the Roxana school board members who must decide whether to include Rosewood Heights In construction plans for a grade school at Thirteenth and Esther 6r build another school at Rosewood Heights. Latham Harris, superintendent Of Unit 1, Sydney Frey, Roxana High School principal, and E. Robinson, board member, met with the association to gather an opinion of people concerned.

Transportation Costs a Factor It was pointed out that the cost of transportation of pupils to the Roxana school will offset the cost of construction of a new school, and facilities will be similar. Unit 1 board members and the educational committee of the association have been looking over four possible sites in the area where a school might be built. None of the sites under consideration were named, but members were told 'that any site containing as much as three acres is being considered. Members'of the education com- George Martin, Walter Hale L. A.

Lohman, Mrs. L. L. and Earl Hayes. The Rose- Heights school would have iron!" iour elementary grades, Harris'said he felt the decision Should be that of persons of the area, but stressed that the district cannot transport students it the Is placed at Rosewood reimbursements v1 not Bellow transportation of within miles dis- tancefof schools.

Suing Up Problem of the Assocla- up the problem by Is In the wet, it fee the responsibility ef parents to transport pupils, trot ff they send their eWldnsn to ana, win be ptavided. frank MeNeely, who has been working en a map showing location of children at Rosewood Heights, reported there are about 28 children of kindergarten age and between 18 and so children for each grade from one to four. Harris said this revealed there are enough children in the area to provide a teacher for each grade should a school be built for the area. Because of the highway hazards Involved even for children attending a school in the area, Martin suggested a road would be cut from Vaughn's Hill across the center of Rosewood Heights. There still would be some children who would have to cross hlghway.s.

Equal Facilities When asked If the Rosewood Heights school would have the same facilities offered by the larger grade school at Roxana, Frey said that the facilities would be relatively equal as the school would be administered under the unit district system and special teachers would visit the Rosewood school. Presently Rosewood pupils in the first through third grade are attending Brushy Grove School and other children, Burbank, Edison, and Roxana High Schools. McNeely estimated ttie present Rosewood population at 1800 and said that with the current rate of construction in the area, the population possibly will triple In the next five years, creating an even greater for a school. Martin advised that a suitable location and site be secured to care for future needs. In reply to a report that some persons are petitioning out of the Roxana Unit District Into Unit District 8 of Bethalto, Martin said that even with Rosewood Heights paying its bonded indebtedness to Bethalto, this year, the tax situation" Is less than It would be to return to Bethalto.

School Rates He said the Bethalto rate of about $1.85 last year still is higher than- approximately $1.50 paid the Roxana district which includes 26 cents for grade and 35 cents for high school on the bonded Indebtedness to Bethalto. The Roxana educational tax is around 93 cents and Martin stressed that the higher assessed valuation of Roxana makes tax rates lower.

He also told a Robinson civic club yesterday that he "does no! believe "take a direct hand" In Korea, bjit if it does Wbrld War III wou)d result and no natipn would emerge a winner.

Membership has expanded in cent years until the organization eels it is neeessary to establish a central location with regular lee hours so clerks can get their ermlts and pay dues. Mrs. Miller, who has maintained he union's office at her home, will ontinue as full-time secretary when the downtown office Is set up. About 210 regular and between 0 and 75 part-time clerks belong the union. Mrs.

Miller said the work of Percy Lauck, business agent, has ncreased to the extent that a downtown office will enable him get out more and handle dlf- icultles. Lauck divides his ectlon time, spending one month the downtown area and tfee next outlying areas. In the past six years, work of he union has expanded from Vood River clerks to Rosewood East Alton, Cottage Hills, loxana, South Roxana, and Hart- 'ord. Mrs. Miller said the contract recently negotiated for drug store clerks required only eight hours, shortest meeting for negotiating any contract with merchants.

It became effective July 1. The contract, first to be negotiated by drug clerks in two years, places them on the standard wage scale of waitresses. Wage Increases range from $2.50 to $12 per month depend on seniority of the clerks. The new contract also decreases weekly working hours from 45 to 43 and establishes pay for all egal holidays.
