Of this number 43 have been legally excused, 22 boys and 21 girls. This number includes high school graduates and those who are married. A considerable increase was noted in the elementary school at Milford with some decrease in pupils in the Beaver area over last year. It is thought that the increased employment on the railroad Is the reason for this change. Another interesting fact revealed by the report is that there are 37 more boys than girls in the In every district except county. Milford the number of boys exceeds the number of girls.

Chairman Herbert Stapley was elected as chairman of the county AAA committee Wednesday evening at the annual reorganization meeting. Harold Baker of Minersville and Morgan Griffiths are the other members of the committee who assume control of the AAA work on January 1. William H. Wood of Minersville has been chairman of the committee during 1945. Present at the meeting from the state office were Marcell Palmer, range supervisor, and Wm. Stock-dalperformance specialist. Mor-re- ll Matthews of Scipio, farmer fieldman for this district, was also In attendance. During the afternoon an election was also held for the community committees with the following men named to office: Beaver West, Frank Low and Frank Fransworth; Beaver East, Ross B. Cutler and R. R. Thomas; Minersville, Goldwin Marshall and Frank Carter; Milford, John Stahl and Ivan McKnight. Following the election the new officers met and discussed the 1946 AAA program, Including crop Insurance, price support and program. Miss Roma subsidy Parkinson was named as secretary of the committee to replace Mrs. Helen Gillies who has been secretary during 1945.

Attended by a representative group of men and women, plans were proposed and projects civic-mind- ed inaug-uratedQf- or the beautificatlon of Beaver and the improvement of services offered the traveling public. The keynote of Mr. Winder's it formal discussion was, "break down the big thing 'tourist busi- ness' into small, double things start at the little end arrive!" that one Mr. Winder pointed out of the most pressing needs for all those who have any contact with tourists is to know the intjmate things about the state and community. Authentic information is what the traveler is seeking, said Mr. Winder. Vague and uninform-ativ- e answers will tend to give the community and state a bad name. The improvement of the present services and the establishment of service was urged by the visitor. Beginning in the spring the state department is planning the publication of cards listing the establishments providing service on all the main highways in the state. Filling stations, hotels, camp cabins, towing and repair service, cafes, doctors, drug store and others were urged to cooperate in providing uninterrupted service. Special emphasis was placed on the improvement of the City Park, which Mr. Winder pointed out, could be made one of the beauty spots on the highway with little effort. The Lions Club assumed the project of improving the park. "Specialize in something" was the plea made to cafe operators. A committee, comprised of representatives of all organizations, will be appointed to cooperate with the cafe operators in providing and advertising something unique and different to be offered in Beaver.

The mayor and city council will act as a coordinating committee to see that there is no of effort, and the county commissioners will act as a liason committee with the state departments. Otftrr committees and projects will be appointed but it was the suggestion of Mr. Winder that small projects be accepted and completed and that the big things will take care of themselves. An aroused public opinion can be a tremendous force, observed Mr. Winder, and one of the first steps for permanent improveemnt is to awaken a community consciousness and pride. It is expected that the state visitor will return to Beaver in January or February to conduct a three-da- y tourist school, designed especially for the people who come in direct contact with the tourists.

The child had followed his dog to the railroad tracks and had just climbed up the embankment as the signal whistle was sounded for the train to go forward to the platform. The engineer started the train and the fireman discovered the baby on the track. The stop was made so quickly it threw the passengers out of their seats in the train, but too late to keep from hitting the child on the right side of his head, fracturing his skull, and breaking his jaw. The father and mother, who had been searching for Bruce just came up as the train stopped and the mother picked the boy up just as he drew his last breath. Short services were held at the family home in Milford Thursday at 2 p.m. Bishop Mitchell Fisher was in charge. A solo, "Sometime We'll Understand," by Vance Fisher; Carlyle Gronning spoke words of comfort to the bereaved parents. Prayers were offered by George C. Goodwin and Bishop Fisher. The body was brought to Beaver Thursday evening and Bishop Steffen was in charge of the services here. A quartet composed of Milo Baker, Enona Smith, Lela Morgan and Kent Morgan, with Mrs. Beth Dean as accompanist, sang, "That Beautiful Land" and "Sometime We'll Understand." George C.
