to go to the added expense with

talks were short enough to be in-
teresting, but long enough to
cover the subject matter. Most
of the members were primarily
interested in how the change in
fashions were going to affect
their respective pocket books.
The consensus of opinion was
that style changes caused undue
financial strain on the head of the
family and because of this were
against it.
It was announced by Mr.
Campbell that arrangements had
been made with Blake Gillis for
the Rotary Club to hold their
next meeting Monday, October

rection to be followed by a tour
of the institution.

Dr. William McCann, Curri-
culum Co-ordinator for the Li-

in the system and of future plans.
Following a state-wide trend,

year instead of 5 and increasing
accumulative sick leave from 20
to 30 days.
The Board also went on record
favoring the retention of the
Sales Tax Diversions Amend-
ment, extending the period of
bonded indebtedness from 5 to
15 years, modification of the 15
mill tax limitation from a two-

enact a law setting a minimum
salary 'schedule of $27400 per
year for all school teachers.

Nobody likes
--
to do dishes
EXCEPT,
THE AUTOMATIC ELECTRIC
DISHWASHER
If you're the average housewife, you struggle
through six tons of dirty, greasy pots and dishes
in a year.
If you are, then this is just what you've been
waiting for. This push-button marvel floods your
cutlery and crockery with water far too hot for human
hands. The average electric dishwasher will
hold up to 95 pieces, wash, and rinse them without
attention, leaving every pot, dish and glass
gleaming ... bone-dry and safe in its rack.
The Automatic Dishwasher uses a special soapless
cleaning agent. No film is left on glass or
china. When it has finished its chore, every
drop of water vanishes and everything is
sparkling clean.
Yes, the Automatic Electric Dishwasher loves
to do dishes. See your dealer about one i today. Many models and makes are ;
available. ,b
