Recognizing the imperative need for united effort, it was recommended that all districts levy a 2 percent tax to provide for special education housing. This levy'was authorized by legislation passed by the last session of the state legislature and would make possible the continued growth of special education classes inthe face of a critical shortage of classrooms.

The Transportation committee announced results of an analysis concerning the purchase of busses by the school. Members concluded that the district might realize a saving of $70,000 a year, but admitted there was a question of procedure to be decided. After a discussion of several plans, it was generally agreed that buying the busses over a five-to-six-year period appeared to be most favorable. Results of the analysis were reached on findings since the board purchased three busses this year. The conclusion is that the plan could be selfliquidating over a period of ten years.

Pm sorry to read about old friends being laid to rest, but young friends are getting married and soon they'll have little ones to even life out. "With all these things, new and old, going on it sort of makes me wonder if people even remember that there's a war going on. Were these people like this during the other so-called undeclared wars that we were in? I guess I can answer that question myself. Yes, I reckon they were. I was one of those' people then. I never thought much about wars until Uncle Sam turned his greetings inmy direction. Hie casualty report started to hit pretty close to home after that. "So you ask, 'What can I do about them?' Well, Pll tell you.
