EVERYONE SHOULD HELP
WITH SCHOOL CENSUS
M. C. Cooke is busy taking the
census of the Granger Independent
School District. Every child enumer-
ated by him means just that mucn
more money from the state appor-
tionment and that much less money
that must be raised locally by tax-
ation. Everybody should help Mr.
Cooke see that not a child is missed.
If you hear of children moving into
Granger any time during Marcht
please report these names. All
children living within the district,
who are within the scholastic age,
should be enumerated in this census
It means more money from the state
for our school—let's get them all.

strictly enforcing the law regarding
speeding and obstructing traffic dur-

enforcement prosecution is necessary.
There is also a fire plug zone law
and those caught infringing on this
law are subject to arrest.
