Fighting to save the lives of three Prineville residents stricken with botulism, state, county and U.S. Army officials cooperated this week to supply life-saving serum, and according to the attending physician, seemed to be winning their fight today.
Prineville s new grade school, the Ochoco school at the western city limits, was put into operation Monday morning with about 350 pupils moving from the temporary quarters at the overcrowded Prineville grade school. R.H. McAtee, principal of the new school, reported an attendance of 347 Wednesday. While the school is not complete in all details, and the gymnasium wing has hardly been started, 11 classrooms were in use this week, with the pupils on a normal school day schedule for the first this school year. At the Prineville grade school, a double shift system was used to accommodate Ochoco grade school pupils, with half attending classes in the morning and the rest in the afternoon.
