Action Decided on by Eoard cf Edu
cation to Comply with. Require
ments of State Supt.
The Plattsmouth city schools will
carry on their regular teaching pro
cram Saturday to carry out the pro
visions of instructions from the office
of the state superintendent requiring
that 17 G hoiu-3 of school be held in
the school year. The number of hours
is required to secure the school share
of the state apportionment money.
The decision to hold school this
week-end was made by the board of
education in a resolution at their
meeting Tuesday afternoon and to
comply with the notice of the state
superintendent. '
Fad the notice been received
earlier in the year it might have
been possible to carry the additional
hours, the schools having observed
Labor Day, Thanksgiving and allow
ing two days off for the state teach
er's meetings, but as it is it is neces
sary to take up the required time on
Saturday.
It is expected that the schools will
comply with the requirements the
next school year by opening on the
first Monday in September instead of
observing it as Labor day.
The school officials are urging the
full co-operation of the parents and
natrons of the school in seeing that
the attendance is kept up to stand

TjASED ON IS-MONTHS TERMS in 168
Jj representative cities, the average
difference in monthly payments be
tween a Pontiac JDeLuxe six 2-door
sedan and the same model of the next
lower-priced cars is only 15 cents a
day. Those were the facts that persuaded
Mr. Norman Flitters to change his buying
habits and get a Pontiac. And here was the
result: He has the biggest, smartest car he
has ever driven, the super-safety of triple -sealed
hydraulic brakes, the finest of Knee
Action rides, and record-breaking economy.
That's why he says America's finest low
priced car is America's biggest bargain.
Take a ride and you'll decide he's right.
