FOSTER New York City COLUMBUS- — Added precautions will be taken this year by the State Department o f Health to assure proper sanitation*at tourist camps throughout Ohio, it was announced by Dr. Walter H. Hartung, state di­ rector o f health. A closer and more detailed inspection o f the camps will bo ntede before permits to operate ’ are issued, Dr. Hartung said, because it is reported that some camps last year did not comply fully with the regulations, which involved danger.to the health o f patrons and to persons in the community. The department has ordered the operators o f nil camps to put their camps in sanitary condi- •tion for the coming season. In accord­ ance with a ruling the inspection o f a camp must be made by the district health commissioner (before a new per­ mit is granted. A warning was issued by Secretary o f State George S.

SCHOOL BOND ISSUE At a meeting o f the patrons o f the Cedarville- Schools, called by the- Board o f Education on April 21, it was voted by those present that a commit­ tee prepare facts as to the need and cost o f the proposed building and these facts to be published in the Cedarville Herald. Why This Proposed ^Bujldingjg. — — Needed' • - " T 1. Present quarters too small to carry on. Agriculture, Manual Train­ ing, and Mechanical Drawing classes. No rooms in the present building can meet the requirements fo r Agriculture classes. 2. A hew building will release the present Farm Shop and Manual Train- . ing room fo r other necessary uses. 3. Present quarters were approved temporarily by the State Department o f Education until the Vocational Agriculture Courses were completely; organized. 4. Sixty farm boys are now enrolled in Vocational Agriculture. 5. - Twenty -boys and -girls are tak­ ing Mechanical Drawings 6. Manual Training is now limited to 1C -boys due to lock o f room and equipment. Additional boya desiring this work cannot be admitted, 7. Two small rooms are now rented o f Cedarville College costing $240 per year fo r the Agriculture and Mechanical Drawing classes. 8. Vocational Home Economics has jeen offered to the girls for several years. Our hoys should have the same opportunities. Cost to the Taxpayer 1, Amount o f the bond issue is $5,- 500. This will be used fo r the pur­ chase o f material and equipment. 2. The bonds will run fo r 10 years. 8. The rate will be 35-300 (.85) o f a mill. 4. The annual cost to the taxpayer will be only 35 cents per $1000 valua­ tion. • 5. Bonds on the present building will expire in 1941. 6. .Labor is free—fifrnishpd by PWA, This is probably the last op­ portunity to secure a government project . 7. The brick in the old Corry school building will bo used in the construc­ tion to reduce the cost. If your property is listed at $6,000 your taxes will he only $1,76 a year additional;' if $10,060 you will pay only $3.50 per year w ore than you are now paying. Is a new vocational building in your community worihi this small additional cost in taxes to you? Cedarville being one o f the best Agricultural Communities in the state certainly merits' this specialized course in the training o f out* boys and girls hi vocational courses.
