EDITOR'S COMMENT: In the January 25, 1968 issua of the Chronicle, we announced that a series of articles on Federal Fed-eral Aid to Education in Millard would be forthcoming. The minutes and audits of the Millard School District have been researched and the series will begin next week. Minutes were available from May 26, 1915. Audits were avail- i able from 1933,, the first year for the books to be audited. Copies of each succeeding year, with the exceptions of 1953 and 1954, have been kept intact.. Supt. Talmage Taylor and Clerk Robert Steele are contact-in contact-in the auditing firms of those years and copies are being made. The research reveals that a lot of federal aid has been used in the district. Many of the federal programs are now forgotten history his-tory to present-day school pa-tronsi pa-tronsi The Chronicle extends thanks to the staff at the School District Dis-trict Offices. All staff members have been most cooperative. We have tried to fit our hours to the regular office hours. However, in two or three instances our researching re-searching has inconvienced the staff More time would be needed need-ed to complete reseaching a given period of time. The Chronicle also extends thanks to Sharon Clark and Betty Kelly for their capable assistance as-sistance in researching. They will assist in writing the articles. In conclusion, the Chronicle would like to add that the official minutes reflect the efforts of honest men and women who were, and are, striving to provide the best education possible for all Millard students. We feel that each board, present pre-sent and past, moved to accept federal aid in the firm belief that such a move benefited the whole district at the time.

March Is Red Cross Month In this country, March is Red Cross Month. During this period Americans salute and support the organization which contributes so much to the nation's welfare. In Vietnam every month is Red Cross month, .according to General Wm. C. Westmorland. "Serving our men on the battlefields battle-fields here in Vietnam," he added, "the American Red Cross is a hotline hot-line to the folks back home, an oasis in the heat of battle, and a comfort during hospitalization. Dedicated De-dicated field directors work 24 hours a day along-side our fighting fight-ing men." Also among the 350 Red Cross workers on Vietnam duty there are hospital social work and recreation specialists, and 110 Red Cross girls who operate the growing fleet of clubmobiles and 18 popular recreation recrea-tion centers where the troops can get away from the tfar for an hour or two. Thru the local Red Cross contributors contri-butors are supporting and are a part of the vast network that provides pro-vides these services in Vietnam and Korea, and to the men and their families here at home and in the 28 other countries where U.S. troops are stationed. The Red Cross aided one out of every three military mili-tary men and one out of every two service families last year. Its accomplishments in helping disaster disas-ter victims, providing blood for the ill and injured, and training millions mil-lions in safety and good health practices were equally impressive. This year the Red Cross faces a critical financial situation due to the increasing demands for aid to armed forces members and the continuing drain made by costly distaster relief operations. To serve the American people in 1968-69, the organization must raise $121, 614,000.00, its largest fund goal since World War II. During March local ARC chapters across the nation will be campaign ing for funds. 7,500 Read It In The CHRONICLE emcemei MSll If ) ) r & jKrv- SP.5 JOHN WESTERN John Western, son of Mr. and Mrs. Faun Westeren of Deseret, has recently been promoted to the rank of Specialist Five.
