Board Studies
Purchase 01
More Property
Crosbyton school hoard, with a
light agenda at their Tuesday
night meeting, discussed the pur
chase of some Ellison pro[>erty
south of the primary building for
future building needs.
A committee was named to in
vestigate the possibility of the
purchase of the property. Com-
mittee members Ross Cash,
Compton Cornelius and Robert
Work were scheduled to discuss
the matter with D B Ellison on
Wtxlnesday. They will report
their findings to the school
board.
Board members also discussed
the purchase of property on
which to build pens for voca
tional agriculture projects.
A discussion was held on the
school census. Supt. Sam Hawkes
Is census enumerator and an-
nounced the census will be held
during the month of January
Supt. Hawkes explained that
the oldest school-age child in
each family takes home a census
blank for parents to fill out with
the name*; of all children in
school and those who will start
to school next year. This blank
is returned to the school. Also
needed are the names of all chil-
dren who will be old enough to
start to .school next year and who
have no older brothers and sis
ters in school.
Importance of enumerating all
school age children, Hawkes ex-
plained, is due to the fact that
the school receives $77 per schol-
astic towards what the school is
qualified for in state money A1
though the school receives a ccr
tain amount of funds from th«
state anyway, scholastics on the
census ar" paid for from interest
off the permanent school fund.
Those not listed in the census
are paid for from the state gen-
eral fund.

Workers Seeking
Building Money
Funds collected so far in the
Girl Scout Fund Drive total
$940 70. according to the fund
drive committee composed of
Mrs Joe Bowles. Mrs. Fabian
Lemley, Mrs. Bob Perkins and
Mrs Sam Davis.
This total is only about $90
less than the $1030 quota for
Caprock Council, which means
that most contributions from
now on will go to the building
j fund. All contributions over , the
j $1030 will be used for the con-
| struction of a one room addition

Crosbyton. Room is needed as
