Tardiness in High School
Reduced by Student Board
Camp ' Hill. Pa., April 2.—Tardi
ness in the Camp Hill High School
has been reduced to the lowest pos
sible minimum. This has been ac
complished through the Student
Board of Tardiness, a committee
made up of two seniors, one junior,
one sophomore and one freshman.
This board meets every Friday aft
ernoon and considers all cases of
tardiness which have occurred dur
ing the week.
Pupils feeling that their tardiness
was unavoidable may file claims for
exemption with the tardy board.
There arc six grounds upon which
claims may be based. These are
late cars, drifted roads, late papers
for the boys which carry them each
morning. grocer boys who are un
avoidably late because of the tak
ing of orders, bad weather condi
tions for out-of-town pupils, and
urgent duties the execution of which
could not possibly have been done
before or after school.
The tardy board considers each
and every claim coming before it.
If a claim needs additional
tion. members of the board call the
pupil before them for interrogation.
Every tardiness not exempted
takes two per cent, from each and
every subject the pupil carries in de
termining- whether the pupil takes
the examinations at the end of the
term.

TO REPAIR. LEMOYNE STREETS
Lcmoyne, Pa., April 2. —Council
will meet in monthly session to
night. One of the important matters
to come up before the body will be
a plan to repair streets tills sum
mer. The Welfare League of the
borough has taken steps to oil the
streets and members of Council plan
to make repairs before the oiling is
done. Last year Council could not
give any financial assistance to this
work, but this year it is likely to be
different. An increase of two-and
one-half mills in the tax rate will
bring more than a thousand dollars
into the treasury of the borough.
Some of this money could be de
voted to repairing the streets, a
councilman said this morning.
FIREPLUG INSTALLED

tle out of the ordinary came up be
fore Council in monthly session in

committee that work on the in

at River alley and Blackoak lane
had been completed last week.

STREET SIGNS ORDERED
West Fairvicw, April 2.—After
much dispute and argument Coun
cil last evening authorized the in
stallation of a fireplug at Kirst ave
nue. Councilman Smeltzer, accord
ing to a councilman to-day, was
the main objecter to the move and
when a vote was taken was the only
man to vote against the installation
of a hydrant at this street. This
matter has been up before Council
several times and a decision was
forced by residents and firemen.
When plugs were Installed in oth
er sections of the town the commit
tee refused to recommend a hydrant
for this street. The result was that
residents demanded some considera
tion. Council was deadlocked on
the matter and it was not. until last
evening that the matter was finally
settled.
Council authorized the erection of
street signs at all street Intersec
tions throughout the borough.
