Yes, you. An important picture.
Part of your Christmas Seal
money buys X-ray units for chest
"pictures” . . . to detect tubercu
losis so that it can be checked.
Since IM04, the whole program
has helped cut the TB death rate
by eighty per cent. Yet tubercu
losis still kills more people be
tween 13 and 4-1 than any other
disease.
So please, send in your con
tribution today to your Tubercu
losis Association.

• PROTECTED

Safeguarding money against
loss when one travels is as
Important as protecting it by
deposit when at home—and
is Just as easy. You merely
convert your travel lands
here, before you start, into
American Express Travelers
Cheques. They are readily
spendable as cash, and if lost
or stolen, the amount in
volved is refunded to you.
The cost of the protection
is but 75c on each 1100.
Minimum 40c. There is no
time limit on use. Thous
ands of people carry these
protective Cheques when
away from home, and find
them Invaluable. This is
one of the bank's services

u. wnot amount has been col
lected from the city sales tax this
first quarter?
A. Tp date tax receipts total
$12,389.97 for the first quarter.
Q. What portion of the sale's tax
receipts has been used?
A. Practically all of it. $5700 has
been applied on the school bud
get. $6673.46 was used for the new
Home Economics Department. Be
sides these amounts, the City
Council has paid the School Board
$3000 from their general fund,
making $8700 paid toward their
portion for this year.
U. How long will the proposea
addition be adequate for the school
enrollment?
A. If the rate of increase of en
rollment remains the same as in
the past five years, the present
building with the addition can be
made into an ideal grade school.
It will be necessary then to build
a complete and separate high
school. This, in any event, should
be our ultimate goal, inasmuch as
the high school should be separate
from the grade school, and should
have facilities which the present
building docs not provide. A sep
arate auditorium, which would prp
vide proper acoustics, and a regu
lation size gymnasium are neces
! .sary for a full high school and
I could be extensively used by the
community for civic affairs. A com
bination high school-civic center is
an ideal solution to both of the
above problems in a community
the size of Seward.
The Wagon Wheel, in order to
have its license approved, must se
cure signatures on a petition from
51 per cent of the residents living
within a two-mile radius of the
establishment. This will include a
section of the City of Seward as
far south as Adams Street.
