Support Your Civic Club Only 16 Midland residents were present to carry on the civic duties. of the Midland Improvement Club ;it its meeting last week. It is indeed appalling that the majority of Midland citizens arc not community minded enough to ;ittcnd a meeting once a month for the betterment of their community. A handful of people cannot carry on all the projects for improvements needed in a community by themselves. They need the help and support of all the people in the community. The work of the club is almost doomed to failure unless more people show an interest in it. Support the Improvement Club, Midland residents. Show that you want to help make your community a better place in which to raise your children. Attend the next meeting of the club. It will be held at 8 p.m. April 6 in the Midland Improvement Hall.

* * * New Projects The Parkland Community Club meets under its new officers for the first time tonight. Besides carrying on with the old projects in the club, the group will launch new plans for the betterment of Parl<.Jand. Among them ·will be plans to sponsor supervised play~ ground activities during the summer months, more adequate police protection, and plans for a float in Tacoma's daffodil parade. All the projects arc ones that Parkland residents should be interested in, for they are for their benefit. So come to the meeting tonight and support them. Help the new officers start their terms out right by having a big crowd at the Parkland Community Club at 8 o'clock in tbe Parkland grade school tonight.

* * * Voters Commended Voters in the Parkland, Collins, Midland, and Central Avenue school districts should be commended for their approval of consolidation last Saturday. The measure is the first step in obtaining a high school for this area. The next step will be the approval of a millage at a special election some time in the future to get appropriations for the building of the high school. If the turnout is as satisfactory as it was in the recent election, a high school is almost ours. Residents in the Union bigh district voted down the proposal for a 28-mill tax levy and a $48,000 bond issue. This also is a progressive measure f9r it leaves the district open for consolidation. If the consolidation proposal is brought to vote by the county committee for school district reorganization, residents in that district will also get a chance to obtain a high school and the South End may be able to have the two high schools it needs.
