Majority Will Begin Work on September 3
In Gallia County rural schools most will resume the day after Labor Day with openings dependent on the infantile paralysis situation.

Mrs. Margaret Coughenour is the county’s only certified woman school bus driver with a regular route, and her bus earned the top inspection grade among county vehicles.
