I ____ 1 Holiday Arrangement With Fall definitely here and the holiday season almost upon us, thoughts turn to the decoration of the home and the giving of gifts. Perhaps no other gift is more welcome than flowers—par ticularly a floral arrangement—or gives more warmth and beauty to your home. Alyn Wayne, official stylist for the Florists' Tele graph Delivery Association, using chrysanthemums, pompoms, fresh grapes and a few sheaves of wheat, has created an ideal holiday arrangement to send or wire to friends and business as sociates here or overseas. Chrysanthemums, and the many varieties of pompoms are plentiful and inexpensive this time of year, so take advantage of their crisp, lush beauty next time you visit or call your favorite FTD florist. Remember too that they are un usually durable flowers and stay fresh and beautiful for at least a week or ten days.

ERVICE...MARK OF IWTEOWITV Miracle’ School Formally Dedicated (Continued from page 1.) "Voice of The Frontier” pro gram (WJAG, 780 kc, 9:30-9:55 a. m. l Clyde Widman of nearby Amel ia, president of the Nebraska School Improvement association, was a guest at the dedication but was not on the program. As a member of the Amelia hoard of education, he helped lead a run ning court battle with Decker’s department. The battle went to state supreme court and by virtue of the court’s ruling Amelia’s two-grade high school still oper ates. Said Mr. Widman of Doctor Decker’s talk: "I feel many peo ple might be confused by what the commissioner said here today. Doctor Decker said he never de sired to close any rural schools. "But the highly controversial K-12 proposal.” Widman _ continu ed, "most certainly has been recommended and pushed by Mr. Decker and his staff. While this proposal in itself might not close district 231 and its counterparts. the K-12 plan would eliminate local control and that’s a big fac tor in our association's opposi tion to K-12. If a minimum aver age daily attendance clause w'ere written into a K-12 law, as most surely will be attempted, small schools would have to close shop and that’s all there is to it. "Furthermore,” Widman obser ved, "Decker is constantly seek ing higher teacher certification which tends to whoop costs and, in a different manner, forces closing of small schools. ”1 understand Mr. Decker and Mr. Olson drove to this school today, traveling north and west from Lincoln to Neligh. Ewing, O’Neill, Emmet and Atkinson, then ’backtracking’ south 16 miles, then ‘backtracking’ east tw'o miles, then ’backtracking’ norm a nine or iwo. “Of course, there’s a shorter distance from Ewing to the dis trcit 231 school about 29 miles as the bird flies. But the K-12 enthusiasts elected to take the 62 mile route—chiefly because it's almost impossible to make it any other way In addition, wea ther and road conditions were perfect. “This points up why parents must retain control and must de termine when and how far their children should travel to-and from elementary schools and high schools.” The Widman-Decker meeting Sunday was social. Both were guests. But underneath there was an atmosphere of solid col lision on matters of K-12, higher teacher certification, and school control. K-12 would provide a board of education to administer a K-12 school and the strategic-, ally placed elementary schools within the big district. Currently the School Improve ment group is undertaking to Circulate petitions to restore the top school post in the state to an elective position by amendment at the next election. Said Mrs. Charley Peterson of Atkinson, present at Sunday’s program: “After hearing Doctor Decker’s talk I am more concerned than ever that this education office should be elective rather than appointive; to listen to some of the inconsistencies coming out of the state office confirms my convictioq that we should be more alert than ever before to the threat of centralized control of education”. One of the school board mem bers in the vicinity, who did not want to be quoted, said of Deck er’s speech: “I don’t like the idea of 10 or 11 months of school; I don’t like j it at all.” Another comment by an anony mous bystander: “It wasn’t such a bad talk. Decker has changed his colors.” , A woman offered this: "I, thought it was a very fine speech.” Introduced were three mem bers of the district 152 board of education, who served until that district was merged with 231: Mrs. Harvey Hansen, president; Larry Schaffer, treasurer, and Harvey Hansen, secretary. Dis trict 152 (which no longer ex- i ists1 was 231's neighbor on the east. Pupils are La von Kubart, Ver dell Kubart, Gary Mathis, John Mathis, Leilo Smith, Duaine Lauridsen, Linda Laurdisen Judy Mohr and Jean Mohr The Mathis boys left the dis trict the day of dedication, mov ing to a neighboring district. James Davidson & Sons erf O’ Neill handled the heating con- ( tract The district had cash on hand for the whole outlay, Mrs. ] Mohr told The Frontier. New furnishings include desks, j green “blackboards", and a tele- j phone (Atkinson exchange). Miss French told that district * 231 was formally organized I March 20, 1890, by H. W. Dudley. | county superintendent, including i sections 32, 33, 34, 35, township 1 28, range 14, and section 2, 3, ; 4. 5, 8. 9, 10, 11, 14, township 27, j range 14. i In December, 1897, additional t land was detached from district 132 and added to 231, and in f March, 1899, unorganized land i was incorporated into the dis- | trict. 11 In June, 1922, still mor .and | was added and in August, 1924, s district 235 was attached to 231. i With the 1956 acquisition of dis- * trict 152, the district now cm- R braces 50 sections. The 1957 val— ) uation is $616,284 and the levy is \ a modest 6.5 mills. Inman News - I Mr and Mrs. Clarence Miner of j Laurel were Sunday visitors in the j, home of Mrs. Ray Siders and Mar- J ilyn.
