Schools to Open Sept. 11th .
School will open the 1 1th of Sap
tember, thus giving all a chance to

be in exceptionally fine shape this

ordered new seats to replace the
double seats in grade three and four
that have been worn out. A new
Lttcsk has been ordered for the Home
Economics room and two sawing ina-
. chines have been added to the equip
ment. Nehawka has exceptionally
fine equipment in her school, espec
ially in the vocational departments.
The teachers in the grades this

with the exception of Miss Gladys

vacation
Her place will be taken
by Miss Charlotte Graff, sister of
Miss Ermal, who will teach the first

stone Cords.
There are many reasons for the high
quality of Firestone tires but chief
among the special manufacturing proc
esses are double gum-dipping, thus
eliminating internal friction by insulat
ing each cord strand, and air-bag cure,
insuring a well-balanced and perfectly
shaped product.
Don't speculate in tires you will
find the right combination of price and
quality in Firestone. Come in and let
