Little Change In Northwest Seen Strike (Continued from Page One) crn California felt the greatest ef fect oi tne striKc, wan iir opera, lions most seriously crippled Many Northern California. Nevada and Oregon pine operations were down, but the AFL-LSWU which has most of the Montana and Ida ho workers did not extend the strike that far east. A scattering of settlements, was reported, some just before the strike started and some just after ward, but little optimism was taken from these. Instead, the large firms repealed what they had said before: They would not agree to higher costs. At Shelton, Wash., C. H. Bacon Ir., vice president and general manager of the huge Simpson Log ging Co., put the attitude into these words: "We will not partici pate now or at any time during the progress of the strike in anv settle. iront which establishes any cost ncrease pattern. ... We will set tle at any time on the basis of an extension of the current contract without a cost increase."

Drain's extra levy of $25,646 was okayed by a wide 84-4 margin. John Rundell was elected to a three-year directorship over Sid ney Moore and Jim Whipple.

Ed ward Blomquist led three other candidates for a one-year term. He polled 52 ballots to win over C. M.

Ml II I r Mini I l.Ss"-n R 9 Jjj jl II III School Budget Defeated Again In Monday Vote (Continued from Page One) Arthur W. Lamka Jr., who beat three opponents. Lamka had 483, just 10 more than Clarence Cur rier's 473. Kate R. McCarthy had 396 and John C, Cornilsen. 375, Supt. M. C. Deller said the budg et board will start meeting again Wednesday night in an attempt to pare the budget farther. The meet ing will be held at 8 p.m. in Cen tral Junior High School. School officials would say little about the path that must be taken in setting an acceptable budget. The new budget is effective July 1. and only nine days remain un til that date. Discussing the possibility of the district having to operate within the 6 per cent limitation, Deller said: "If we have to operate un der the limitation, there's a pos sibility some of the schools will have to be closed." He explained that $911,628.92 had been figured as estimated re ceipts for next year. However, $98,000 of that would have come from the school lunch program, which might have to be dropped. The difference would be $813,128. 92. That amount, added to the $362, 976.78 which may be taxed with out vote (inside the 6 per cent limitation) would give the district a budget of $1,176,105.70 if the schools have to operate this year without an excess tax levy. School Board Chairman N. D. Johnson noted that the vote of 1, 985 was considerably lighter than that cast on May 18, when 2,639 persons went to the polls. He said that the vote was cut down be cause many teachers now are on vacation, because PTA groups aren't meeting during the summer shutdown of the schools, and be cause many people are up in the air over the lumber strike situa tion. Johnson didn't run for re election. The big turndown of the serial levy indicated that inclusion of money on tne school budget for site purchase may have been one big reason for the original budg et's defeat. The budget committee cut out the items, extending op tions on two of three sites and sub mitting the third on the serial levy. The serial levy was turned dowr. in each of the eight school pre cincts. The budget was passed i; two No. 2 at senior high schof and No. 3 at Riverside School. I received its worst beating in No 4. Rose School, by a count o 269-135. Lamka won only one of the eight precincts, but that was enough to j carry him to victory over Cur- i rier. The senior high school vot ers went all out for him. casting 183 votes for him to only 68 for urrier. Bashford won alt eight precincts for his three-year post. Total on the defeated bud let was $2,102,720.96. with the total levy figured at $1,298,092.04. MEETINGS SLATED The Rev.
