Rotary Club Meets Nelsonville in Parish House Evening
The Nelsonville Rotary Club met at the Parish House Tuesday at 6 15 pm with Mike Brooks leading a short program. The gathering followed a recent change of meeting venue arranged by club directors. Proposed amendment to Ohio Constitution Article VI Section 4 seeks to create a state board of education and a director of education and abolish the superintendent of public instruction position. The measure, approved by three-fifths, would appear on the general election ballot the first Tuesday after the first Monday in November 1939. If approved, it would take effect January 1 1940 after which the superintendent would remain until the director is appointed and qualified. The secretary of state certifies this exemplified copy of the joint resolution adopted April 25 1939 and filed May 4 1939. September 10 1939.
