Each Forum discussion has .been
enjoyed ,by those who have attend-
ed and we haven't heard a criticism
of the whole project. The meet-
ings have been both very interest-
ing and instructive as well as en-
tertaining. The men who have
helped to put the Forum over de-
serve credit for its success.
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.-

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.--

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.

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.
