Proposal for New Junior High School to Improve Education
The editorial urges voters to approve a two thirds Yes for a proposed junior high school to replace Hardin. It argues current facilities are crowded and inadequate across halls, classrooms, science rooms, library, band area, home economics, and shop space, and notes ongoing tax considerations and prior expansions in the town’s schools. The piece frames the junior high as the missing link in improving Mexico children’s education and calls for timely action.

The doctor cautions that heat and exercise help but are not a universal cure, especially for acute rheumatoid cases, and warns against assuming this fixes all arthritis types. He notes rheumatoid arthritis requires medical care and that not all sufferers can tolerate squeezing during flare ups.
