U WILLOUR COMPLETES TRAINING SCHOOL Clinton Willour of Shelton who is associated with the Mt.

State Schools Face Money Problems Many school districts throughout tile state have run into a financial crisis, State Supt. Louis Bruno said this week ill Olympia. A severe financial setback has been caused by the recent announcement of the State Dept. of Revenue's redtiction of property assessment ratios. State education funds are distributed to school districts partly on the basis of local taxing efforts. Funds, therefore, have been reduced for schools in counties where a low ratio is considered by the Revenue Dept. as "not a great enough local effort." Particularly hard hit are such counties as Adams, Island, Lincoln, Garfield, Pend Oreille, San Juan, Wahkiakum, Walla Walla, Ferry, Mason, Douglas, Clallam, Grays Harbor and Yakima. An unexpected decline in opening-of school enrollments in some areas such as Renton, Seattle, Lake Washington, Bellevue, Aberdeen and Federal Way ..... has created a loss of state per pupil funds and has caused a deficit budget in many cases. School districts now are in the process of preparing their final budgets for the present school year. In so doing, they must take into account their losses under these ratio and enrollment drops. "My office has been tlooded with calls and contacts from superintendents, teacher groups and parents t'rom all over the state," Bruno said. "The emergency fund available from my office totals $1 million. This amount has to cover the next two years and would be only a drop in the bucket in the situation we have today. We can't use it to help any one district • when so many are in trouble. "There are no xtra funds anywhere, so we are checking all possible sources from which state funds can be reallocated or appropriations can be adjusted. For example, there will be less tnoney distributed to counties with low assessment ratios. The per pupil allocation has been set at $368. It is possd le that this figure could be increased, giving extra state "My office will do :ill it legally CZlll to lSSeSS the problems tcing school distt•icls which have loss of cnrolhnenl and adverse ratio factors, with the realization that such districts are obligated to teachers' contracts and to contracts previously made t'or equipment and supplies. "By the early part of October, we should have more exact enrolhnenl tigures, tax income and assesslnent ratios. As soon as all the facts are in lbr the new school year, we'll be able to decide a proper course of action." Grange Event The Mason County subordinate granges will hold their annual joint booster night meeting in the Recreation hall at the Fair (;rounds, Sept. 26, starting at 8:30 p.m. Each grange has promised a good number for the program.

NOTES FROM NElL I BE WISE The wise person keeps medicine in a locked medicine cabinet and throws away old drugs, Burn, dissolve or flush them down the toilet. All medicine should be labeled large enough to read. Give or take medicine only as prescribed b.y a medical authority. Don t rely on a friend's advice or on what you may have read in a book or newspaper. When taking medicine, read the entire label carefully. Pour liquid from the side of the bottle opposite the label so that it will not drip and cover the instructions. Do not give or take medicine in the dark. Never put two kinds of medicine together on your bedside table. Confused by sleep, you might take the wrong one. Keep only enough medicine there for one night, and never mix segeral kinds of pills in one box. A PAYROLL SAVINGS BOND campaign began at Simpson Timber Company's Shelton operations this week.
