The Salina Creek Irrigation Company ditch cleaning crew was working along the canal south of the city, and had set fire to remove trash weeds and willows. The wind shifted, and swept the fire toward the chicken coops at the LeVar Anderson property. Norval Crane, crew foreman, summoned the fire fighters, who kept the flames from doing any damage. Time of the call was 3:50 p.m. Salina Auction Sale News Mr. and Mrs. Thorval Andreason, won distinction in an ora- Short-Cours- Out Of Control Grandson Wins Oratorical Honors Aaron Andreason, grandson of A total of 800 head of livestock were sold March 8th at the Salina Auction to buyers in Utah, Montana and Los Angeles.

To register, parents do not need to bring their child. To correctly register the birth of a child for Kindergarten, they must bring a birth certificate, a blessing or christening certificate, as proof of age. This is necessary, as it is kept on file at the office, to be used as proof 8, for the school nurse, in case of health certificates, shots, immunizations, etc. Later this term, a day will be set aside for the Kindergarten child to visit the school in session, so the room and the teacher will be more familiar to them when school opens in the Fall. It is important, said Mr. Robinson, that parents remember to register their child on this date, Friday, March 22nd, from 4 to 4:30 p.m. Dear Editor, A Parent And Interested Persons: I have quite enjoyed the debate on Are We Basketball Fans Or Maniacs, and agree with you; and partly agree with the letter from a Parent. I would like to state in reply another side of the story. You have heard it from the and the parent, but have you looked at it from an officials viewpoint? Most officials have, themselves played basketball in high school. They love the game. They know the game, and now, being too old to play, have turned to coaching or officiating. 'Do you know what they have to do to become officials? They dont just grab a suit and whistle and arrange with some administrator to officiate this game or that. They are trained as anyone else is for a job. Each year they pay their dues, receive new rule books, which they have to read and memorize, and be able to interpret on the floor. Each year they take a rigid test that half the public couldn't understand. They also have to pass the test with a high score in order to officiate at all. If they dont qualify, they dont work. (By the way, they all get the same rule books.) I dont know of one official who pulls for any team, and who doesnt call them as they see them, and do the best they can. It's true they do make mistakes once in a while who doesnt? Do you know how hard it is to remember every rule, and then on a split second call a violation, give the correct signal and number of the boy to the scorers, then award the ball to the right team7 Try it sometime. Its a thankless job. Low pay, and hard work, and no matter who looses, its always the officials fault. Most nights they come off the floor thinking they did a good job, only to have some hothead come up, call them all the names in the book, and threaten to get even. I wish it were mandatory for every spectator to read and know the rules before going to a game, then maybe they would know' what the devil they were bellyaching about. Every year, the rules change, but how many of you know it, or which rules were changed. Half the time, there is so much noise they don't hear when the whistle blows, and when the game keeps going a foul is committed, yet the ball was dead and the first violation has to be taken care of. Then there is a roar from the crowd and someone has bribed the referees. They would be only too glad to explain to anyone the w'hys and wherefores calmly, if they would ask. Every bodily contact cannot be called. Only those giving advantage to the opposite team are of importance. If they did call Them all, there would be nothing but whistles all night. With few exceptions the players after a game feel alright about the calls. They know what they did, and why they were put off the floor, when one such has been disqualified. But the people are still in an uproar, especially those partial to players offended. Thus they carry a grudge that grows as the year proceeds. When they say who does this and who does that, who do you think keeps the officials clothes washed and ironed? Who gets a quick meal ready so they can leave at four? Who keeps the buttons sewed on, and the tares mended, when some uncouth person grabs him by the collar? Who keeps up their morale and makes them think what they are doing is still worth it? By the way, you dont do anything to get other officials to work your game. All appointments for games are made by the division arbitrator. Also the fee they get is $5 to $10 cheaper than college officials get. If they did officiate Round Robin games, it would cost more for mileage, more for rooms, more for meals, and much more for pay. Also, if our officials arent good enough to call tournament games, they are not good enough to officiate at all. (By the way, officials pay taxes too). As for taking off their glasses, most of them can see more with their glasses off than emotional spectators with glasses on. (Its also for protection purposes from spectators.) The officials work hard, and do their best, and they are not paid to listen to corrupt and vulgar language from players, parents or audience. If you dont like technicals, then learn better sportsmanship. So go to the games, pay your ticket, disagree with the officials, but be adult enough to leave your emotions and opinions in the hall when you leave. An Officials Wife.
