Lomax, Chairman of Publicity Recently we read of a proposed $350,000 bond election to finance additional school facilities. Since that announcement, many questions and comments have been made. Do we need new classrooms? What facilities will this money cover? Who is going to do the deciding? Have we any assurance that the need exists? If this is voted will the needs be satisfied? You who attended Community Development meetings during the summer or who participated in the home now discussions now know that the problems above should be answered by you. The basic idea is: You are given definite specific information on all community affairs. Then you have an opportunity to discuss each; and finally you have a voice in forming the final opinion. Let us use this proposed bond issue as a case in point. Had we reached the stage of permanent organization each of us would have had one assignment only one. Let us fur ther assume that you had vol unteered to serve on the edu Your group cation committee. would have met, would have collected all the facts why actual facilities the need assumed increase in enrollment all sources of information would be available to you School Board, Superintendent, civic groups and Principals just you and I.
