MUSEUM CAMPAIGN TO END
The campaign for Carson county gifts to
the Panhandle-Plains Historical Society’s
museum fund is drawing to a close. Gifts re-
ported this week total $1,552.50 and the cam-
paign will close as soon as $2,000.00 is reached.
A county of the financial strength of
Carson should give that much money, or
about 30 cents per person. If ^ou care to
have a part in this great regional work,
leave your check at The Herald office or mail
your check to The Herald Editor.
SCHOOL KINDERGARTEN
Establishment of a kindergarten in the
Panhandle school system is being talked
again. A large taxpayer came to The Herald
editor the other day and asked that some-
thing be done to modernize the Panhandle
school system with a kindergarten.
The Herald editor hesitates to write about
this subject because he has a son who will
be six years old in November. As the lad
cannot attend school this year, the editor
would be charged with attempting to put the
control of the boy off on some one else for a
few hours five days a week.
The people of the Panhandle Independ-
ent School District are entitled to what they
wish, provided they are willing to foot the
bill. If the taxpayers of this district want a
kindergarten, the way to find out the opin-
ion is to start out with a petition.
If the trustees find that a vast percent-
age of the people want a kindergarten, that
should be regarded as a mandate to be fol-
lowed, especially as the district is financial-
ly able to underwrite the expense.
The other day a leading state educator
said that kindergartens should be established
for children beginning at four years of age.
He held that the general lack of kinder-
gartens and other advancements had held
back education 50 years in Texas.

Map above shows expansion of Poland westward to take over all of Germany east of the Oder and
Neisse Rivers, as reported proposed to the Big Three at Potsdam by Polish Vice Premier Stanislas
Mikolajezyk. If approved, Poland’s western frontier would include all of the German provinces of
Pomerania and Silesia and parts of Brandenburg, Saxony and East Prussia. . Poland would also get
the Danzig zone, Stettin, the great Baltic port and the key cities of Breslau, Kuestrin and Liegnitz.
Berlin would be barely 30 miles from the Polish border.
