Miller Patrons Seek Funds to Ease Bus Congestion
A five member Miller school group led by J B Cather and Mrs Edwin Marker met the School Board to discuss bus congestion and funds. They hope the county will own more buses, as only one was purchased last summer. The board will repaint and repair a frame building, while bus schedules remain fixed to avoid harming other schools. The association approved a school awareness plan with goals like Know Your School and Defense Begins At Home and will hold a moving picture event next month.
