,U. 5. Talks Price
Lever for Grain
WASHINGTON, May 8—(P-
With the nation’s default in
famine relief shipments soaring
toward the million-ton mark, the
administration was reported today
to have decided on a new price
Formula for getting more grain
from livestock feed bins for human
food. •
Announcement of the new pro-
gram was expected too, possibly
before nightfall, and officials at
the agriculture department said it
probably will involve an upward
readjustment in the ceiling prices
of grain and livestock feeds.
One of the major causes of
the current shortage of wheat
e for food has been heavy use of
P this grain for livestock feed.
Many farmers have reported
that they could make more
money feeding grain to live-
stock at present ceiling prices
than by selling it as grain.
Agriculture department offi-
’cials. asking that they not be
named, predicted an increase of
between 20 and 25 cents a bushel
of Agriculture Clinton P. Ander-
son told a news conference late
yesterday that it now looks as
though the target may not be
reached. This change of mind re-
flected department reports that
exports of wheat for the period
Jan. 1 to May 8 fell 881.000 tons
—or 33,038,000 bushels—behind
the goal for the period.
The wheat export goal for the
January-June period is 6,000,000
tons, or 425,000,000 bushels.
The lag in American exports
will be reflected, Anderson said,
by a "particularly acute” shortage

ing May, especially China and In-

A decision to discourage ‘ ex-

of 1946

Alta Vista PTA
Head Explains
Finance Stand
Editor, Abilene Reporter-News:
I should like to present to the
public of Abilene, through your
columns, some of the reasons the
members of our PTA at Alta Vista
school support the present drive to
divorce the public schools of the
City of Abilene from the munici-
pal control of the city.
Alta Vista’s present needs, as
is true of the other schools of the
city, came about through utter lack
of planning for future development
of its surrounding area. About
eight years ago more children were
enrolled than could be handled
through the sixth grade; so those
of the sixth grade were sent to
Fair Park. When that school could
not handle the extra grades be-
cause of its own needs a change
was made by sending the sixth
grade pupils of Alta Vista to Cen-
tral. This, however, has been the
general practice for many years.
In the main sixth grade pupils
have been transferred to Central
from Alta Vista for the past
eighteen years.
Last fall, in an effort to keep
the sixth grade at Alta Vista
school so that our children would
not have to go to Central for just
one year, we called on the school
board and they were unable to
give us any help. As usual, that
was due to a lack of funds, and
further, the lack of AUTHORITY
TO DO ANYTHING ABOUT AD-
DITIONAL FUNDS. The next step
was to call on the city commission
at which time we offered the use
of our meager PTA funds to help
equip an addition to our building.
The city commission agreed that
we were entitled to a sixth grade,
that we were entitled to keep our
children right in our own school
district before they were sent to
junior high— and we left the com-
mission meeting with the feeling
that they would do all they could
to help us. Despite the fact that
we’ve had a “temporary shack” for
years, the city commission offered
us another. We refused this offer
when we learned that we would
be expected to pay the expenses
of moving this building from the
airport, build a foundation for
setting it up, heat and light the
interior and buy- all necessary
equipment such as desks, seats,
etc
The school board as well as the
city commission told us that our
school grounds were too small for
a permanent sixth grade, even if
we had the building and adequate
floor space. This we knew only too
well. Since we wanted to keep our
children at Alta Vista through
their sixth year of school so that
they would not have to walk the
distance to Central in all kinds of
weather and so that they would not
have to go through this period of
adjustment in a new school for
just one year, and since we were
willing to work for this program’
after a thorough investigation—
we circulated a petition. This peti-
tion. signed by 180 persons, was
presented to the city commission,
asking that they purchase for the
school the only three vacant lots
left in our school block. These
were not adjacent to the school
grounds but were located about
140 feet away and had to be reach-
ed by going through an alley.
While the petition was in circula-
tion these lots were sold to an in-
dividual for $3,625 Immediately
the price jumped to $4,300 for
resale Finally, the city commis-
sion agreed to pay $4,000 and no
more In order to keep from losing
what we had gained thus far the
Alta Vista Parent Teachers asso-
ciation decided to provide the ad-
ditional $300 to secure the space
of which our school was in such
dire need.
a a a
Now we have a school on one
end of the block, separated from
part of its playground by two
homes, still no sixth grade and
not much prospect of one We be-
lieve this situation never would
have ’arisen under proper plann-
ing by a school board with the au-
thority to provide the ‘financial
means to obtain the necessities for
our schools
The people of the Alta Vista
school district do not claim that
school and city divorcement will
bring about everything we might
like to have, but we do believe that
fiscal separation is the REST WAY
TO OBTAIN THAT WHICH THE
CITY CAN AFFORD
Yours truly. 1
