The best club house we ever had came about through a merger of two rival gangs on our block. My gang erected a structure that would hardly pass an FHA inspection but we had coal range which was coveted a half-siz- e by all the other kids. This was especially true with the rival group which had built a fairly respectable hut half way up the alley. They had a better hut but we owned a better stove. So it was inevitable that we came to terms and combined real estate. We put our house on rollers and spent the best part of a weekend pushing it up the alley. But the test of our mettle was yet to come for as we tried to maneuver one hut around the other, it collapsed into a heap of lumber and nails.

In addition, there are carrying charges for this service so that when the tax dollar gets back here, it's diluted to about of the original worth. We then are supposed to be thankful for receiving our own money from an administrator who keeps most of it. Good or bad, this is the situation which has evolved in the United States. The battle over federal aid should it be curtailed or expanded? is a constant one in the halls of congress. Conservatives argue that government aid brings government control. Liberal proponents say it will not. Some members of the opposition step outside the ranks with one foot, saying federal aid for school construction is alright but not for teachers salaries. The truth is that handouts from Washington always come attached with strings. These may be a gossamery filament but nevertheless exist. Only one has to go as far as the county courthouse to find it out. Work on the addition at Fielding school was delayed while project plans underwent government scrutinization. Every aspects of planning including the wage scale must meet federal approval.
