Visitors were Luther Secor, Martin Edwards, Robert Jones, Stuart Rombough, An- drew Ulrich and John Sivell, .Sivell, a former Altamont member, is now a Delmar Kiwanian, having moved to that community (darn it!)

Mr. Bachand gave a graphic pre- sentation of the major problem which faces the school district. It is es- sentially this: a constant increase in the number of students, but with school facilities already working at capacity. Within a few years there will be over 5,500 pupils in this dis- trict. Mr. Bachand explained that the board realizes that taxes are in- creasing, and that they wish to. save taxpayers money, but the most im- portant consideration is that our children be adequately educated. The board is considering various possible solutions to the problem. As they see it now, there are three principal alternatives: (1) new buildings, (2) double shift of classes with the present buildings, (3) school sessions the year round, with staggered vaca- tions for the pupils. The second plan might be done with no extra build- ing, the third would utilize the school plant to maximum capacity, and would entail less additional building. There were many questions from the floor which were answered by board members or school officials. A lively discussion on the alterna- tives followed and these points were brought out by the discussion: (1) the year-round plan, which might represent greater efficiency, presents many serious problems to pupils, to families, and the community, and would also involve a number of ad- ditional costs, (2) the double shift plan is difficult for pupils and teach- ers, and short-changes the pupils in art, music, and physical education— this plan would also involve addition- al costs, (3) new building would be costly at the outset, but would not create educational and social prob- lems. It is highly probable that new buildings would be necessary anyhow some time in the future. If present trends continue, the costs at a future date would be far higher than now. Therefore the apparent economies of plans' 2 and 3 would probably be temporary at best, and largely il- lusory. These five school board members gave an able and straight forward presentation of the problem. The executive board wishes to thank them.—Edwin C. Munro, vice-presi- dent. Altamont fire The monthly meeting of the Ladies' Auxiliary to the Altamont. Fire, de- partment was held Tuesday night at the firehouse. Eighteen members at- tended. Plans were made for the Christ- mas party to be held Saturday, Dec. 21, in the American Legion building, Altamont Blvd. The auxiliary will not hold a business meeting in De- cember because of the Christmas party. Refreshments were served after the meeting by Olive Tymchyn and Sylvia Hall. Altamont Girl Scouts Intermediate Troop Intermediate Girl Scout Troop of the 8th grade met Tuesday with Mrs. Mcintosh.
