Wonder Lake, has brought about the resignation of the physical education instructor and the firing of the administrator, who has asked for' a hearing. About seventy residents of the Harrison school area (Dist. No. 36) were present at the meeting of the board Tuesday night when the minutes of special 'meetings concerning the differences between the two members of the faculty were read and the action of the board was revealed. Fred Zandier, employed as a special teacher of physical education, and John Lathi-op. eighth grade teacher and administrator of the school, are the two involved. It was revealed at the meeting that a long-time feud has existed between the two men and that each of them had discussed it with outside persons and had frequently taken the quarrels before the board. It was not cloar just what was the initial cause of the feud but it was inferred that it involved the physical education program itself. The feuding apparently goes back several years. " At a special meeting of the board, held March 16, the board adopted two- resolutions asking for tile resignations of the two instructors.

For those who may ask the 'juestion . "Why a cancer crusade?" here are some of the answers. Because--Caneer is the number two killer of men, women and children and will strike one in five Americans. Because--Canrer has a tragic iaily toll of 600 men. women and children;" Every two and one-half minutes someone dies of cancer. Last year some 220,Q0Q Americans were destroyed by this disease. - Because--We must conquer cancer. This disease is a savage foe - perhaps mankind's worst enemy -but there is much we can do to save lives in our community today. On the dollars you give will be built programs of research, education and service to cancer patients. Please be generous. " . to 5 p.m. There will be confessions in the evening from 7 o'clock on.
