School Bond Issue
The Silsbee Kiwanis Club
board of directors Wednesday
endorsed the proposed school
bond program for Silsbee, ac-
cording to Lester Landgraf,
president. The resolution was
first adopted by the Public Re-
lations and Business Affairs
committee with Vernon Smith
as chairman.
The resolution is as follows:
The Board of Directors of
ing a favorable recommendation
from the Club’s Business and
Public Affairs Committee, re-
solves that passage of the school
bond issue in the election of
Saturday, Oct. 9, 1965 is high-
ly desirable and is in the best
interests of residents of this
school district. By this resolu-
tion. the Silsbee Kiwanis Club
encourages each eligible voter
in the school district to ex-
amine the provisions of the
bond issue and to cast his vote
the Silsbee Kiwanis Club rep- for passage.
CARD OF THANKS
Words cannot express our
sincere thanks and appreciation
to our many friends for their
prayers, flowers, cards and
other deeds of kindness upon
the death of our beloved son.
May God bless each of you.

schools need adequate facilities
if they hope to prepare our
children for college or what-
ever phase of life they choose
to follow.
Since this is the third elec-
tion put before the
this school district each and
every one should ask them-
selves, “how am I going to
vote?” and then justify their
decision by rationally thinking
the situation out by themselves.
It is the obligation of every
community to provide adequate
educational space for their chil-
dren and this responsibility in-
volves people who do not have
children in school. Most of our
public facilities are paid for by
tax money, but not everyone
uses or benefits from each fa
cihty equally for the simple
reason our ages and tastes dif-
fer. Some may enjoy traveling,
others picnicing, while others
may have to stay home; there-
fore, we all have and should
share in our responsibilities as
taxpaying citizens of America.
I dislike high taxes as much
as any person but the days of
getting something for nothing
(if there was ever such a
thing) are over. So if paying
more taxes is the only solution
for providing our children with
a school that our community
Register - rm
tainly not the answer because
they are not permanent. Be-
sides this, there is not enough
acreage to keep adding port-
able buildings.
I hope you have noticed that
voters of I have not used any statistics,
The reason is that if this bond
issue passes I know that I won’t
be paying any more school tax-
es than the average tax payer
in any other school district.
Regardless of whether the bond
issue passes or not this com
munity will have to pay enough
taxes to send the children to
school so we might as well be
paying for something that will
be of credit to our community.
I have heard many rumors
put out by the opposition and
will have to say that some are
untrue. It could be that some
who are fighting the issue so
bitterly have investments in
our community and are in op-
position because of selfish rea-
sons. I do know that in my
dealings with one of the oppo-
sition leaders, I have found
him not above mistating the
truth. If he will do this in his
business dealings then the same
tactics might be used by him in
spreading rumors against this
bond issue.
In closing I would encourage
each person to give careful
consideration to this issue and
if you have any questions, ask
someone who can give you the
facts—then vote your convic-
tions.
Yours truly,
Tommy L. Edgar

The citizens of the Chance-
Loeb community are not op-
posed to the bond election to
be submitted to local citizens
for the third time in 10 months
merely because It represents an
increase in taxes. Issues much
more critical than this are in-
volved.
The taxpayers have the right
to ask questions. Why, for ex-
ample, should the administra-
tion insist on the construction
of a new high school when the
President’s council on educa-
tion states that it is most un-
wise for a school with predic-
ted enrollment of less than 500
students? Why should a school
administration single Out one
solution, with the complete dis-
regard of other solutions sub-
mitted by the will of the ma-
jority of the people?

school board
should be given a blank check
for three-quarters of a million
dollars or subject the area to
conditions too intolerable for
words. Yet, this same board has
succeeded in antagonizing sur-
rounding areas to the extent
that not only has consolidation
with other districts been un-
successful, but the expansion of
present inadequate elementary ,
facilities has blatantly been
turned down.
Adequate school facilities
will be furnished these stu-
dents, but not under conditions
where operating expenses are
beyond explanation, where the
administration is byond criti-
cism, where 750 families of av-
erage and below average In-
come are forced to build a
three - quarter million dollar
school.
The taxpayers have the right
to ask questions. Why, for ex-
ample, is it necessary to have
three administrators at the
Chance-Loeb school when cer-
tain area schools with more
scholastics have only one? Why
four custodians? In the budget,
are $5,000 for teaching supplies
and $3,500 for janitor supplies
commensurate with the condi-
tion in which the school is
maintained? These and many
other questions regarding the
efficiency of operation of th^
school should not be hastily set
aside when brought before the
school board.
The majority of the citizens
of Chance-Loeb feel that the
first concern should be the es-
sential improvements of our
present elementary and junior
high grades. We would have
favored a $100,000 bond issue
to build a unit of 12 permanent
classrooms, dressing room fa-
cilities and sewage improve-
ments. We seek a receiving dis-
trict for the high school stu-
dents where they will be as-
sured a well-rounded educa-
tion until the community has
sufficiently grown to support a
high school. Most certainly, tu-
ition costs to a receiving school
are much less than the cost of
building a substandard high
school.
School systems are complex.
Solutions are not simple. The
citizens of the area are wrest-
ling with problems that other
schools have in past years
solved. This we will also strive
to do. In the meantime, the
help and respect, not only of-
the Chance-Loeb citizenry, but
of the adjacent areas is most
urgently needed.
