There have been more than 1 & 1 pupils who have been perfect In attendance for the flint quarter. Thin fact speaks well for the interest of the parents and pupils. Coed health is surely essential to good school work. While some of the credit for good attendance tills quarter can lie attributed to the favorable weather more credit in due to the splendid cooperation of parents in caring for the health of their children by having them immunized against contagious diseases before they enter, school. ^Mlhough regular attendance at school is very admirable when a pupil has any communicable or contagious disease health authorities are agreed thut It Is best for him to remain isolated until hh is well and that it is best for those with whom lie would come in contact.

JESSE JAMES PORTRAYED BY ROY ROGERS IN COLORFUL FILM Further adventures in the colorful and always fascinating life of Jesse James are developed in Republic's latest Roy Rogers starring historical western. Titled "Jesse James At Bay", the film presents Jesse as a champion of the cause of his Missouri neighbors who have been duped by an unscrupulous railroad company. The president of the road has urged these settlers to improve the* land which borders the right-of-way, holding out to them the inducement that the land will be theirs for a purely nominal fee, if they settle it and thus .increase the value of the railway. His actual intention is to reneg on his offer and force the settlers to pay exhorbitant sums for the land they have worked hard to develop-under the supposition that it was to be theirs. When Jesse James learns of this outrage against justice, ho enters the picture in his usual swashbuckling, .picturesque fashion and sees that justice is done. Republic has, in this film, presented the other side of the milch discussed question of whether Jesse James was, in actual fact, as bad as history has depicted him. The question is still , open to argument, and Republic has used this measure of doubt to formu- ' late a most absorbing screenplay that can be whole-heartedly recommended to all action fans. Gale Storm acquits herself favorably in the feminine lead, with Sally Payne scoring in a comedy role. George "Gabby" Hayes, a fixture in the Rogers series, again demonstrates his unfailing ability to enact the loveable role of the homespun "old-timer." The second largest refrigerating plant in the world was at the por; of' Gdynia, pre-war Poland. It accoui-l modated an entire train of cars at a time. i NOTICE OF SALE Notice is hereby given that In accordance with the terms nnd provisions of tlie Decree of the Court of Common Pleas for Kershaw County in the eatre of Home Owners1 Loan Corporation, Plaintiff, vs. G.
