Mat da We would like to conduct a poll his week to see what our readers have to say about the matter of closing Hinckley high school, and combining Hinckley and Delta high seshools into one large and well-equipped high school at Delta, for all students of high school age in west Millard county. The ballot appears in another part of this paper. Kindly write the answers to the questions, fold the ballot and mail it back to us, signed or not signed. We will pay the postage. We want all the ballots back by June 15, so that they can be tabulated and the results turned over to the Board of Education by their meeting of June 17. This is our idea solely, and is not authorized by or known to Board of Education. It seems to us that this is the fastest method for finding out what the readers desire. As for ourselves, we agree wholeheartedly with the Board in closing Hinckley high school, for the following reasons: First: Oasis, Deseret, and Abraham were in overwhelming majority in favor of sending their children to Delta, and with the loss of those students to Hinckley there would not be enough remaining to justify just-ify the expense of maintaining the school. Second: the cost per student at Hinckley "high school has been the highest in the county, and they have not been getting as many advantages as those in either Millard or Delta high schools. Third: closing the Hinckley high school means a savings of over $30,000 to the Board in this county, which Is about $3.00 per capita savings for every man, woman and child in the county. Fourth: the trend throughout the nutiiin is for consolidation which has proved to save money and give children better educational advantages. But, we are not in agreement with the Board on the dismissal of Sajt. A. M. Maughan, as we think he has done excellent work in Millard ounty as superintendent, and would continue to do so in the future. No official announcement of this action of the Board has I. er; i a io to us, either as a paper or as individuals. Our informa-t.on informa-t.on c.!.e from persons who were in attendance at the meeting Wednesday in Fillmore, and was to the effect that the Board voted 3 to 2 for the dismissal of Supt. Maughan. If the vote had been unanimous, or even 4 to 1. we would think nothing of it- But coming at this time, when there is a certain amount of controversy over combination of Hinckley and IMta high schools, and rumors, hearsay and speculation are keeping tc:.-;T on edge and tongues wagging, we wonder if Supt. Maughan was sacrificed to placate a minority group. So. if you are interested, even slightly, in these questions, turn tJ another page, mark your ballot, fold it. seal it with paste, glue or stai les, and mail it back to us promptly. It will be interesting to see what readers may wish to express on these questions, and the poll shtld give a Tairly accurate cross-section cross-section of public opinion. D. E. Moss, left, manager of the marketing department of Standard Oil Company of California, Cal-ifornia, Provo office, and Lionel Lion-el H. Riding, local distributor, made the presentation. Dale is one of the five Utah FFA members mem-bers who received these a-wards. Junior Uleanors In California Delta First ward Junior Gleanors under the direction of their leader, lead-er, Mrs. Marie Merrell, returned home Friday evening from a week's vacation in the San Francisco Fran-cisco Bay area. Participating in the trip were Betty Leavitt, Rachel Jeffery, Janet Bunker, Alice Kay Moody, Helen Law, Bonnie Riding, Ila Fullmer, and Glen Fullmer, as driver of the other car. One of the highlights of the trip was the ' oportunity afforded the girls through arrangements of Elder El-der Glen Fullmer, to help him give the Sacrament Service in the Rodeo Branch of the Church. After the services they attended Fireside Fire-side Chat with the young people of that branch and then enjoyed the hospitality of several of the Saints for overnight.

Chatter Box Dear Suzy, The manner of welcoming home a war veteran varies considerably. Some veterans come home with little fanfare and for others there is quite a welcoming reception, and such was the case when Sgt. Howard Edwards returned from combat in Korea.On hand at the barrier in the Salt Lake depot were his wife, Sue, parents, Mr. and Mrs. Morgan Edwards, and brother and wife, Mr. and Mrs. Lowell Edwards. They were waving wav-ing and shouting to him when three men detached themselves from the throng and casually took Howard into custody. It seems that Howard was wear ing a pattern and color of suit greatly favored by bank robbers this season, and as he had just come from Seattle where there had recently been a bank robbery Howard was suspect number one. After Howard was hog-tied and ready for a trip to the bastile one of the men came over to the Edwards Ed-wards and told them Howard was being taken into the clink for questioning on the bank robbery at Seattle. Mrs. Sue Edwards was great-relieved great-relieved when she heard that Howard was suspicioned of rob bing a bank. She recalled his long army service, and also the old army pasttime of shooting craps, and knowing Howard better than the FBI did, she knew that his roll would have made the bank jealous had he ever stepped into a bank and flashed his cow-choking poke. So the Edwards (all ex cept Howard) left the depot, very dejected with the exception of Mrs. Morgan Edwards, who knew that Howard would come out OK, with probably a shirt or two from the FBI agents. Howard was held about an hour while the FBI went over his re cord and especially why he had bought that particular suit he was wearing. Howard, fresh from Korea, Kor-ea, had no idea that bank robbing was still prevalent, and he could not see why all the hubbub. He figured that from what he had heard it hardly paid to rob a bank any more because the robber could make more at day wages than he could pull loose from any bank, and on a poor day, too. After ascertaining that his suit case full of bank notes was won fairly, squarely and legally in the simple process of shooting litle rfps, thj FBI released him and Howard went to join the family. So Howard, who has had his hands full of trouble in Korea in Uniform, omes home to find him- vlf still in hot water when he steps into civilian clothes. He says there isn't anv justice, and mav- be he has something there. Toots, Mr. and Mrs. Dean Fisher, former for-mer Deltans, now living in Rapid City, S.
