on teachers, had to put two
: cnool classes in the gym lobby
heard from a group of school
parents who were Ipset with
31 students in the third grade
at the Perkins campus and felt
that this was too many for the
teacher to handle.
Mrs. Linda Elson, spokes-
woman for the group, asked the
board to consider splitting the
class, adding another student
teacher or teachers aids in
helping the third grade teacher.
Superintendent Acuff replied
that there was no room space
available to spllt the class,
nor was there another teacher
available and there were no
funds available for either.
"We have dreamed of more
space," Acuff said, '~but there
is Just none available, here or
on the Tryon campus."
Acuff added that the school
are using the old frame build-
ing for a class.
Chair~han of the Board, John-
ny Payne said that the board was
aware of the crowded problem
and have tried and are still
trying to relieve the prolem.
"We have tried to float one
bond issue, and are in the pro-
cess of trying again," Payne
responded to the group.
Acuff said that he, Mr. Raf-
ferty and Mr. Spillars would
investigate having the library
aid spend more time with the
third grade class and would
check on m~re government aid
for the reduction in class size
aspect.
When asked if he though the
school could get more govern-
ment aid Acuff responded that
he "doubted it."

Investigation
he believed $50,000 to $75,000
worth of monies may be invol-
ved. Two people in the court-
house stated they had felt that
there were unusual and ques-
tionable practices in the County
Clerk's office being used.
"I didn't mean to do anything
wrong," Howard told the Jour-
nal, and when asked if he would
resign he replied "no".
Howard and his wife were
accompanied to the Wednesday
Payne County Commissioners
meeting by their attorney Win-
frey Houston.
County Commissioners de-
ferred action concerning How-
ard until a later date due to
District Attorney Headrick be-
ing out of town. The Commis-
sioners waived notice of their
next meeting so that a meeting
can he called on short notice.

BANKRUPTING THE SOIL!
One can compare the soil to
a bank account. A bank account
has a certain amount of money.
Deposits have to be made if it
is expected to grow. Dollars
must be depositied before a
withdrawal can be made. And,
of course, a bankbook or balance
sheet is used to determine the
cash reserves at any one time.
