The shield and the torch are famijiar to Ameri
cans as symbols of their freedom. Willie Wiredhand,
too, is a symbol of freedom . . . the right of free
people, working with their government, to make a
choice — and take action to help themselves ... in
solving a problem by the only means open to them.
The need was for electric service, at reasonable
rates, about a quarter-century ago, in almost 95%
of the land. The solution was the organization of
electric cooperatives. The people—in a free land
—exercising their democratic rights . . . taking the
initiative to satisfy a great need.
Now, with almost 98% of rural America enjoying
the benefits of low-cost electric service—and over a
billion dollars repaid to the REA in payment of the
costs of construction—plus another half-billion in
interest—the electric co-ops have a vital place in
our nation’s economy. They are the assurance of
continued low-cost electric service for almost 17
million people . . . and help sustain an annual
market for millions of dollar* worth of electric
appliances and equipment . . .

Where does your food dollar go?
In many homes the meat or meat
substitute dishes (protein foods)
take the larger share of the food
dollar. About the same amount is
spent for fats, sweets, potatoes,
vegetables and fruits. Milk products
rank third and grain and cereal
products fourth.
Watch the cost of fruits and
vegetables. Buy what is in season
and make the most of what you
buy. Remember that those ready-
prepared foods cost more. There are

TO THE VOTERS
OF TAYLOR COIIKTY
The decision by the Taylor County Board of Education to call a Bond Election for the
purpose of building a Gymnasium at the Eureka School at Butler was made after several
months of thought and the realization by the Board of Education that such a building at
this school was badly needed. For the benefit of the voters and taxpayers of the County
whose votes on July 25, 1962, will determine whether or not such a building will be made
possible, I feel that I should provide you with certain important facts for your consideration
in this matter.
As is being advertised in The Butler Herald this proposal is for a Bond Issue of $60,-
000 00. Our architect has told us that a building adequate for a school of this size can be
constructed for not more than $60,000.00. You are familiar with the State School Build
ing Program which provides money on an annual basis at the rate of $50.00 per
teacher for school house construction. The State Board of Education has ruled that in
those systems where all classroom needs are met, the state allocation of funds for school
house construction can be used for the construction of Auditorium and Gymnasium, pro
vided the local system match state funds dollar-for-dollar. This means that the Taylor
County Board of Education could utilize a part of the annual allocation of building funds
to the County to pay half of the cost of the interest and principal of the proposed
$60,000.00 bond issue for this gymnasium. I should like to bring out the fact, too, that
the building program as set up by the State is such that these annual payments to systems
like Taylor County are for a twenty-year period.
The schedule of payments of principal ai outlined in the advertisement will not re
quire any additional levy of taxes. The county tax digest has improved to the point that
the present Four (4) Mill Levy for School Bond and Interest and Principal will take
care of the County’s fifty (50) per cent of the cost of Interest and Principal of the pro
posed issue.
In summary, permit me to re-emphasize the following two statements:
1 Annual allocation of State Building Funds will pro
vide revenue with which to pay half the cost of the
Interest and Principal of the proposed Bond Issue.
2. No additional taxes will have to be levied in Taylor
O’^nty to pay the County’s fifty percent of the cost
of Interest and Principal of the proposed Bond Issue.
Respectfully submitted,
W. H. ELLISTON, Superintendent,
Taylor County Schools.
