Then there was the second big complainer but he wasn\u2019t complaining about the lack of school facilities, he was complaining about the complain-ers.His big beef was that there were so many people in town who wanted a new school.His own children were out of school and all he could see when he thought of building a school was increased taxes.He was sounding off about these \u201cnewcomers\u201d to the district with their new fangled ideas like modem schools and such.He was one of the loudest talkers in favor of \u201cindustry for our town\u201d but also the biggest talker against \u201cnewcomers\u201d.We just listened to him without remark - what can you say to such people?All this has nothing to do with Shawville because as everyone very well knows Shawville has the very finest of schools possible.12 ANSWERS TO QUESTIONS THAT HAVE BEEN RAISED ABOUT THE NEW CO-OPERATIVE IN PONTIAC COUNTY: Question No.1.What is the name of this Co-operative?Answer.Bristol Farmers
