Action to close the school was taken when the local coal dealer notified school authorities that he had used his small allotment of coal for the general public. All coal used at the school had been trucked in from the mines. Under the temporary arrangement and until the school can reopen when a new supply of coal is obtained, the elementary pupils will have one teacher for each grade Instead of each teacher having charge of two grades as in the past.

Up to the present time, each elementary teacher in both the Bloomville unit and the central building has had two grades to teach. It was pointed out that there is sufficient room at the Central School Building to accomodate all of the pupils and that transportation facilities are adequate to transport the extra pupils.

-Ad vertisement. The Way You Want It Deliver 60c Hals Cleaned, Blocked, ftOe OF TAILORING WORK Dream, Town Is Blueprinted By CHARLOTTE FITZ HENRY Associated Press Staff Writer Chicago, Jan. 29 Suburban La Grange Park is blueprinting a post-war dream village to rise on 2,200 tax delinquent lots that now arc profitless. The working ground is a square mile and one-half of bleak "subdivisions," laid out dur ing the building boom of the 20s and then largely abandoned. Housing authorities say the idea may be a pattern for hundreds of communities.

"These weed-grown wastelands," says the National Committee on Housing, in its publication, "Tomorrow's Town," are found on the fringes of nearly all cities. "Although these tracts are logical sites for new building, most private developers are apt, unless something is done about it, to seek acreage even more remote from built-up districts rather than tackle the legal and other difficulties involved in assembling sites out of tax delinquent Foreclosures Sought The La Grange Park village board appointed 15 residents as a planning committee to lay out the post-war village. The7 asked for foreclosures on de.inquent prop erty to returr the land to the tax lists and at the same time encour age building by clearing titles and removing legal tangles. The 2.200 lots were delinquent $500,000 in special assessment taxes and more than $100,000 in the village's share of general real estate taxes levied by Cook County. The town expects to keep part of the property for recreation areas.

Part of the land was set aside for development of a new business district which the town hopes will offer moneymaking opportunities that will keep its younger generation from moving away. Roughly half the village's taxable property was delinquent. On committee recommendation town officials found prospective buyers for part of the land who promised to pay at least a fixed minimum on each lot, plus four years' back taxes. Improvements Made Next the town initiated foreclosures involving 789 lots. This property may be sold or held for future public purposes.

Seventy-five per cent of the lots improved with sewers, water, sidewalks and streets. To some professional planners, the most important factor in the La Grange Park plan is that it was initiated by resi dents of the community. "It's a grass roots approach to the problem of making the com munity more livable," says John r. Scott of St. Paul, presi dent of the Minnesota Federal Savings and Loan Association.

In these days of mechanism. army divisions require about 3,000 vehicles, including guns, tanks, tractors and trucks. Oneonla Man, Ex-Policeman, Listed Missinc Oneonta, Jan. 29 A former One onta patrolman, Sergt. Lcroy Tur ner, son of Mr.
