Officials urge purchase and bond to fund school repairs
District 1 officials back a bond of 6000 to improve the county high school at Chateau and seek to buy the building for 29500. They argue 40 percent voter turnout is needed and note rental costs as the district plans for improvements and future funding through rebates and a foundation program.

State aid bill reshapes school funding and attendance policy
The state plan funds some schools 4 percent more while others receive nothing. The state superintendent sets outlays after county budget reports. Local funding comes from an interest and income fund, a 5 mill levy, and a 10 mill county levy totaling 71 000 to be shared by counties per enrollment. Transportation pay rises tie to regular attendance, prompting policy that students must attend or be dropped from the local system. Lions club guests were Floyd McFarlane and Bill Hodgskiss, with many members at a convention in Billings.
