Roads, Distance
Are Problems
Facing Schools
Two school district*. Star and
Cedar Corners, decided to solve
their re-districting problems by
attending school the first semes
ter in the Star district and the
second at Cedar Comers
For them the major problem
was getting the children hack
and forth. One family drive*
K mile* a day to keep their
children In school and when the
Lyle Johnson* share the bur
den and go after and take the
Slattery children they also
drive the same distance.
A pedometer strapped to the
ankle of each child would total
1140 miles a day which would add
40 miles for the teacher and that
total times five days a week would
spring the grand total to 5.900
miles a week Computing at that
rate for nine months would make
a person diary. Fortunately they
do not travel one alone in a car
so the car owners get a break of
a scan tut in all kinds of weather,
ram or shine, it still is a chore
for someone to add to their day s
work.
All grades except the kinder
garten are taught by Mrs
Dorothy Sanders who found get
ting to school and home again a
problem of major concern when
the weather was rough and the
roads travel resistant
The mileage pendulum will
swing back the other way for
some when they take up work at
Cedar Comers School equipment
was taken to Star which will have
to be brought back
Pupils are Michael and Rena
Slattery. Larry and Wynn John
son. Pamela Derickson. daughter
of Mr and Mrs Albert Deiick
