SENATE BILL 78 A LAW
I . ~
Gov. Chas. H. Brough signed
Senate Bill No.78 this, Fri
day, morning which consoli
dates McCrory Special School
District and District Nt> . 10.
The News claims another
victory for the betterment of
our schools and we know that
both the school at Fakes Chap
el and at McCrory will be im
proved under the provisions
of the bill.
The directors of each dis
] trict are now members of the
; board of directors of the New
McCrory District and the bill
provides that the school at
Fakes Chapel shall be main
tained as heretofore.
tie it said to the credit ot
Governor Brough that he has
done more for the advancement
of elucation in Arkansas than
any governor we have ever
had. It was he who secured
for us the raising of the school
tax from seven to twelve mills
which has kept many districts
from having to cut down their
terms of school which they
would have been forced to do
had noto the relief been given.
Let everyone help boost our
schools both here and at Fakes
Chapel and help improve the
conditions of each which we
know will be done.

THEY MADE GOOD
NOW ITS OUR TURN
This is the - week for the
Salvation Army Home Service
Campaign. It is to be made
simultaneously in every coun
ty of the state, which has been
thoroughly organized for the
drive.
The generous people of Ark
ansas are being asked to give
$250,000 for this worthy
cause. It is first time the Sal
vation Army has asked for
more than a pittance. Now it
is asking that it provided with
a budget that will enable it to
devote its entire time to an ex
tension of its service for the
relief of the suffering and dis
tressed, the uplift of the des
muit; ana neeuy, ana me res
cue of the unfortunate.
There are no knockers for
the Salvation Army. The war
and its opportunities for ser
vice placed the Salvation Ar
my in its proper light before
the world. It is no longer
misunderstood. Everybody is
for it, irrespective of creed,
race, or station in life. The
boys who wTere the recipients
of their kindly ministrations
in France swear by them, and
‘ never tire of sounding their
praises.
Thousands of Arkansas boys
were helped by them when the
war-clouds hovered most dark
ly, perhaps your boy was one
of them. Now it is our oppor
tunity to reciprocate by the
generous gift of our dollars
to help them extend their field
of service at home. Arkansas
will no fail.
