The bond issue regarding a new power plant in Wheatland passed by a vote of 124 to 4.
County School Superintendent Winifred Banner is working hard to establish a Red Cross chapter in every school in the county. A fee of 25 cents is being asked of each student enrolled, which can be a personal contribution or a sum raised by a public entertainment of some kind. Miss Krueger is supervising the Junior Red Cross girls in Wheatland who have so far made 95 bandages and knitted 14 scarves, 10 pairs of wristlets and two sweaters. She has also started a sewing club for girls with instruction in dressmaking.
A new chemistry table has been constructed by Mr. Whalen during his spare moments from his janitorial services at the high school (note from Patsy: I wonder if this is the science table in one of the classrooms at Libbey). A new chemistry instructor, Miss Cornett from Oklahoma, has been hired. This is the first time chemistry has been offered and is a welcome addition to the curriculum.
