Immediate state aid favored by Indiana trustees group
The Indiana State Association of Township Trustees urged immediate state aid for financially distressed Indiana schools. A resolution noted deficits owed by the state and called for action, while another opposed standardization of grade and rural schools amid fiscal strain. The 1927 budget law requiring dual newspaper publication was challenged, with a suggestion to publish budgets in only one or two papers. The group planned to attend county superintendent meetings and discussed using Indiana coal in public buildings and funding for school construction or rehabilitation.

Indiana Grows More Christmas Trees for State Homes
Indiana state forester Ralph F. Wilcox says about one seventh of the Christmas trees used in Indiana come from local woods. Virginia pines along the Ohio River supply southern towns, with over 350 000 trees purchased yearly for about 266 500 dollars. State nurseries produced 300 000 evergreens and spruces for planting, and inventories show at least 1 000 000 trees ready for distribution. Wilcox notes idle land and Kankakee sand lands could yield forests, boosting state income by hundreds of thousands via Christmas trees and reforestation.
