W. T. Hughes, Deport School
superintendent, might have been
a banker—and a good one — or
is it is the thrifty Scotch
in his veins. At any rate
he keeps his fingers on the pulse
of everything made available to
schools by state and federal gov-
ernment, and his latest projects,
constructing a vocational agri-
culture shop building without a
bond issue and refunding of
•chool bonds bearing 5'1 to re-
placement bonds of 2xk' • inter-

$4,500 to tax payers of the dis-

Hughes and the Board of Educa-

Who maketh wars
to cease
This is a day of humble and heartfelt
gratitude to Him Who “maketh wars to cease unto the
end of the earth.** It is a day for reverent remem-
brance of all the means through which we have come
to this victory:—the unspeakable bravery and sacri-
fice of countless men and women of our armed forces,
who fought a good fight and finished the course. The
unswerving valor of our Allies, who, with God*s help,
held the enemy at bay through the early, darkest
/
days of the war.
This is a time for prayer that we may
stand stanchly united in peace as in conflict . . that
the ends for which we fought may not be lost . . that
this holocust of horror may never come again.
