Sulperintendenit of Schools
T. J. Cole stated: “We must
once again emphasize that it is
the responsibility of parents to
send their children to school
immaculately clean. Youngsters
not kept clean will be sent
home. If after several warnings
to parents regard'; ng cleanliness
of children, the child will be
expelled from school until such
a time as an understanding is
reached between the parents
and the Board of Education.
“We take pride, Mr. Cole
continued, “in Waving one of the,
finest schools in the territory,
of Alaska and one better than
most schools In th? states. Your
cooperation in the past and
your continuous cooperation
has miade these high standards
possible. We bejg your continued
support.”
The school bus will operate
on approximately the . same
schedule as it did last year.
Territorial law requires that a
child must live IV2 njiiles from
the school he is attending to
be eligible for transportation
by bus. If the bus briver should
pick up youngsters within a
mile and one-half of school, it
is his responsibility and a re
commendation of the school of
ficials.
The school cafeteria will not
be in operation on the opening
day of sdhOol, as the kitchen
and the dim nig room will not
be ready at that time. A public
announcement as to the open
ing will be made later. Child
ren living at °Mt. Edgecombe,
Halibut Point road or Sawmill
Creek road will continue to
bring their lunches as in the
past, until further notice.
It is hoped, ° Mr. Cole stated
to be able to serve lunches at
40c, under the National School
Lunch Program, but the cafe
teria will begin serving at 45c
until it is certain expences can
be miade. The program is strict
tv non-profit but must be en
tirely self-supporting if it is to
continue. All school youngsters
and personnel ate eligible to
eaf in the lunchroom.
In extreme cases, on the re
commendation of the welfare
representative in Sitka, it will
be made possible for Oyopngst
ers to work for their meals and
where the child is0 too young
to work other arrangements
will be made.
Kindergarten youngsters
; whose last names begin with
any of the letters “A” through
“L” will report to the Bara
nofl school orevious to 9 a.m.
on Sent. 6. Those children
whose last names0 begin with
“tM” through “Z” will report
between 12:45 p.m. and 1 p.m.
It may be necessary to make
j s ome changes in the session a

He was roundly booed by the
Dodger fans when bis string of
zeroes in the hit column began
to reach alarming proportions,
and it upset him no little. Set
much so, in fact, that he put the
blast on the fans themselves,
saying they didn’t deserve s.

Duke is juist a little slow in

Joe Di Maggie got his share of

and Ted Williams practically
lived on them for yaers Thriv

back-hand tribute. The ordin

When the crowd quits booing
