Each Forum discussion has .been enjoyed ,by those who have attend- ed and we haven't heard a criticism of the whole project.

Assessments Should Be Limited To 60% Of Value Interests which seem to desire spending t~x'payers money rather than saving it have stirred things up until the Supreme Court has de- clared that Iowa property should be assessed at one hundred per cent of its value. This would be alright if the var- ious tax levies would be drooped enough to offset the raise in valua- tion from the customary 60 .per cent to 100 per cent of valuation. But it will not be done in all taxing bodies with a resulting unfairness. In the interests of the taxpayer the law which will be sponsored by the Iowa Tax Payer's Association in the coming legislature requiring property to be assessed at 60 per cent of its value should ~be passed .promptly before the 1941 a~ess- merit gets under way. Special assessments cannot be levied against a property for more than 25 per cent of its assessed value. This Is an important factor in protecting owners of vacant lots from a big assessment in the pres- ent paving program in Mount Ver- non. If property is to be assessed at 100 per cent of its value it will raise the 25 per cent limit on special assessment taxes. The law which limits the amount a property can be assessed under a special assessment is a fair one and this is another reason ~ hy the legislature should promptly pass the law requiring pro,petty to be assessed at 60 per cent of its value. Did Iowa Vote Have Anything To Do With Changes in Plans? Before election the newspapers carried frequent stories of defense projects which were being consider- ed for Iowa. There was to .be a large training camp in southern Iowa near Linevtlle, an enlarge- ment of Fort Des M0ines, and other proposals. Since the election, which gavel Wendell W'illkie a 50,000 plurality in Iowa, these proposals have died one ~by one. The training camp will be loc~t~ near Rolls, Missouri. Plans for the enlargement of Fort Des Moines to be used as a hospital have been dropped About all that remains is a shell loading plant near Bur- lington which has been strongly op- posed by farmer groups in that vicinity. Many Iowans arc wondering whether the vote on election day had anything to do with these sev- eral changes in plans. They do not know whether it did or not but many of them are wondering. T DOEg ~ ILLKIE READ LETI~',RS HE GETS? Perhaps you ;heard Wendell Will- kie say, in his radio address, that he had read nearly all of the tens of thousands of letters he had re- ceived; and perhaps you wondered, as we did, how many of them he had actually read. Well, two weeks ago we mailed him, not a letter, just a marked page of the Unionist, sending it to Rush- ville, Ind not knowing where to reach him. We didn't suppose he would ever recei~;e it much less reply. Tuesday morning of this week we received from him a .courteous response signed in his own hand, showing that he had actually read it. The reply was from his home in New York City. We have revised our opinion wbout how many of his letters really receive hts ,personal attention.- Wallace M.

WARD SCHOOL NEWS There are some new practice teachers. We arc starting to sing Christmas Carols. The Ward school chorus started to practice last week. We have twenty-three members and expect several more. People in all three grades are working on Christ- mas material. The fifth grade have begun choral reading in English.-- Wilma Jean Levi. M.V.H.S. started their basketball season off with a victory over Lis- bon Tuesday evening, December 3 The senior high game went to Mount Vernon with a score of 28- ~9. It was a very rough and ex- citing game Hutchinson scored eleven points~ while Bill Burnett was second high with seven points. At the half the score was 14-7 in Mount Vernon's favor. Lisbon started out with a bang and scored six points 'before Mr. Vernon had scored one. Then the Maroons got started and dropped the~m in one right after the other, until the half when they had scored 14 points. The second half was very good, and the score was 28-14 up until the last minute when IAsbon scored :two baskets and a free throw to bring their score up to 19. The score to the junior high game was 25-]0 in M.V.H S.'s fa- vor. John (Dec) Wolf was high point man with 15 potnts and Har- old Herring was second with 11 points. Don Slggins scored 5 out of the total 10 points that Lisbon made. Our team is off to a fine start so how about a little support ? SUBgCRIPTION ,qALEg Subscription sales ended Monday, Dec. 2. The winner was announced ,by Mr. IAndsley in an assembly Tuesday afternoon. It was Helen Dvorak who earned 16 points. Runners-up were Audrey Nelson, Lois Bigger, and Gwen Smy~he. We are just $4.00 behind our goal of last year. This year our sales amounted to $160. The Latin class will be guests of honor at our next school dance as they sold over their quota. V~e shall all enjoy our new movie machine. THE READING ROO~ Mr. Paul has built shelves in the English reading room; also a rack for magazines and a cabinet which contains ll~brary supplies Now all the books pertaining to English are in the reading room. This new arrangement has greatly improved our facilities for reading because of its convenience. CLASS NE~,V S The government class is writing a book: not fiction, but facts and duties of the different departments ]of our government. Each member had his choice of a project and ire- 'mediately 'began work on it. Now, i since all this material :has ~been compiled, it is to .be typed, mimeo- graphed, and put into pamphlets for each member of the class. "Come and trip it as you go, On the light fantastic toe." These famous lines from Milton's "L-Allegro" were memorized with other parts of the poem .by the Eng- lish literature class last week. The companion poem, "II Penseroso" was also studied and passages learned. The class is studying the Puritan period and the literature connected with tt. The members of the speech cla~ had their voices recorded Tuesday, so that the class could analyze each .person's voice Phonatton, articu- lation, timing, and breathing were especially emphasized. The ninth grade general science class has been experimenting with light bulb~ and electricity. The class has a practice teacher, Mr. McQuig. The American history students ,have been working on projects de- picting earlyAmerican frontier life. They are under the direction of a 'practice teacher, Miss Ktpp. Last Tuesday this claSs went to the col- lege Law building for a movie on Conservation. The ninth grade social science class had a debate on the efficiency of the WPA and P~,VA. sional boot. "My foot is on my na- tive heath and my name is Mac- Gregor," Our H. 8. seems average in "understanding." All sizes were registered and by ,both sexes. For the want of a nail the shoe ,was lost, but we still got our shoes just like all "God's Chilluns" got shoes.-- Lois Bigger. SWING YOUR PARTNER At the Honor Society dance the other night we observed a style of dance never before seen at our dig- nified dance sessions. It was a real old Virginia reel in its original style Some participants donned tennis shoes and those that didn't soon wished they had. A few of the more stable of our M.V.H.S 'ers coldly refused to join in the first one but by the time we got a second reel going, the floor was full. A way has finally been found to reach the entire student body at our dances and the idea is now being enlarged upon. At our next dance the Schottish and square dance are to be introduced and we sincerely hope they'll be accepted with equal enthusiasm. ASS]bhM~LIES Tuesday the familiar ring of the assem'bly bell again reached our ears. The speaker for the day was Mr. Scovlll, president of the Scovill Business schools of Sterling and Clinton. He ga~ us a very en- lightening look into the future ac- companied by a few jokes. From that we were translated into a nightmare, under the guise of a pep stunt. It was written by that gen- ial man about school, Phelps Man- ning, in case you hadn't recognized the unmistable touch. Peg led us in a number of rousing cheers, and school was dismissed.

When the Storm Struck On November 11 the comb/nation of rain, snow and rapidly falling temperatures, accompanied by a severe wind, caused many telephone lines to break in northwest- ern Iowa and other parts of the territory served by this Company. About 200 cities and towns were cut off from telephone communication. This Company and its associates, the Tri-State and Dakota Central telephone companies, had more than ~0,000 wire breaks and over 2,000 poles down in the ter- ritory indicated on the above map. The telephone prop, erty loss of these companies was nearly $200,000. This brings to more than $3,000,000 the amount it has cost these companies the last 10 years to repair property dam- aged or destroyed by storms. Restoration of telephone service interrupted by the Nove~mber storm was accomplished in the usual manner. Trained telephone men were assembled in the affected areas as quickly as possible and. immediately started to work repairing the lines. In this storm, about 8~0 men were required. They continued work in spite of cold weather and nearly impassable highways in some localities, until service was restored, practically all of which was done in two or three days.
