Steel's declaration of $1 dividend on common stock, since general steel production has declined to around 61 per cent of capacity, compared to better than 60 last fall.

We are told that 80 per cent of our learning comes through the eyes and how much quicker and easier it is to learn how coal is mined by use of a picture than by merely reading. Who can forget the stories of Columbus after seeing them in picture and then dramatizing them rather than reading and reciting history lessons? Every man, woman and child should be interested in this project and are invited to come and see these films. Deputy Sheriff John M. Burt will award the First Aid certificates to all who completed the class in First Aid. Please be there to get yours. The regular election will be held. The candidates for office ate Rebecca Mortensen and Marr Koford, president; Genevia Erickson and Ona Hansen, 1st vice president; the second vice president is the principal of the school, and for secretary and treasurer, Valborg- Romer and Sussie Miller. If you wish to make a nomination the opportunity will be given. Please have the consent of your nominee before you make a nomination. After the election these officers will be installed at this meeting. We hope to have a full house at this meeting. On Friday, April 19th at 9:15 a. m. there will be a health conference for all children who will enter school next fall. This is your opportunity to find out if your child is physically fit to begin school. The dentists will be there to inspect the teeth and to make suggestions for the care and correction of the mouth. Miss Baker is in charge of this conference and hopes to become acquainted with every child entering school. The children will be given a card which will entitle them to a free examination by your own family doctor at your own convenience-- Please bring your child to this conference so you can get the benefit of this health work and the child will be physically fit to enter school in the fall and have a fair chance to compete with the cold winter and strain of the first year at school. A healthy body is necessary for an active mind. We wish to express our appreciation for the support we have had in our work this year and hope you will give the new organization your full cooperation. Officers of Elwood P. T. A. Mary W.
