Eleven of the foretgn villages are grouped together where the Midway was in 1933. Here are an Irish village. with the atmosphere that was known by the ancient chieftains who met in Tara Hall; the Spanish village, largest ever built for affy Fair; Tunisia, the “Land of the Bedouins”, the Italian village, with its leaning. tower . and time-worn Ronan ruins, Free Entertainment Visitors saw the Tower of London and watched Shakespearean plays pres- ented in a reproduction of Shakes- peare’s original Globe theatre in the English village: saw ice-skating under the summer sun in the German Black {Forest village; saw Old North Church, Revere ‘in the American Colonial wvil- lage; relaxed in the luxury of a North African -. desert. village in the Oasis; thrilled to .the charm of mative folk dances in the lovely Belgian village. and entered the gayety of Montmartre in the Streets of Paris.

Board Div ided On Choice For Tax Collector Dallas Directors May Not Give Dungey School Duplicate MEETING TONIGHT Strong likelihood that Arthur J, Dungey, recently elected tax collector of Dallas borough, will not be given the school duplicate for collection was expressed this week bf: members of Dallas school board. Although it is not obligatory under the school code for the regularily elect= ed tax collector to be given the dupli- cate for collection precedent in Dallas borough and in most communities has given the elected collector this job. Mr. Dungey was elected last fall in an exciting political contest with the Fred Gordon, former tax collector. and M. B. Coolbaugh as- his opponents. Reasons for the change in the set- up of school tax collection in the beor- ough have not been given by members of the board who are divided in senti- ment on the proposed plan. Both Dir=- ectors Disque, and Pittman are strong- ly for the change while Directors Swartz and Roberts are oppised to any measure which would tax the collec~ tion out of the hands of Mr. Dungey. Director Eugene Lazarus has not ex« pressed himself and cculd not be reached yesterday morning. There is some talk that the reason for the change is that Mr. Dungey has not yet presented his bond. Mr, Dun- gq has however applied for a bond from William Niemeyer local insur- ance man, Mr. Niemeyer is at pres- ent out-of-town and Mr. Dungey has therefore been delayed in getting the bond. While this is given as a superficial reason for any contemplated .change, there are still many residents of the borough who recall the remarks of one of the school directors last fall after Dungen' was elected. This director pointedly said that if Dungey were elected he would not be allowed to col- lect school taxes. That of course was’ spoken in the heat of a political cam- paign and few believed that the dir- ector seriously considered carrying out the plan even though he expressed it. With excitement in the borough run- ning higher than it has at any time in school affairs, with the exception of the reported plan for wholesale dismis- sal of teachers which fortunately did not materialize there is certain to be a large gathering of citizens at the special 'meeting of the school poarg called for tonight. If the board does decide to do awa with the services of Mr. Dungey it will be one of the most unpopular moves yet taken and will go a long wap to- ward bringing ‘the whole political set- up of school administration into the light, Mr. Dungey is capabie of handling school tax collections, he is popular and well-liked and his election last fall expresses the desire ‘of the majority of voters of the borough. If the school board runs counter to the wishes of the electorate by appointing another man in his place simply. as a political move, it will do much to arouse other- wise uninterested citizens and will go a long way toward the eventual defeat of the present Fine machine controlled schooi board.
