M ay 7 election
date for schools
Some consideration has been given by
legislative leaders about changing the date
for the annual school election from the
first Monday in May to,he third Monday in
May This prim arily has been because of
the concern of some statewide schiail of
ficials Dial the special May 1 election on
the Governor's tax program w ill cause
confusion for those districts planning to
elect board members and vote on their tax
levy on May 7.
As of now, it appears tliat the advice of
the Oregon School Boards Association is
being accepted by the legislators and that
the proposal to change the annual date will
be tabled Districts should proceed with
advertising their tax levy in excess of the 6
per cent linuation and hold their election
as though the May 1 election were not to
occur

CONTEST SALE-A-BRATION
Carlson Chevrolet did win the Chevrolet February March Sales Contest.
Winning may not be the only thing
but it surely beats 2nd place a bunch
To each of our neighbors and friends who wisely purchased a new 1973 Chev
Chevrolet car or fun truck from Carlson Chevrolet during this contest period,
I say “ Many Thanks" I am happy that we were able to save you precious
dollars, and we want your new Chevrolet to be the very best one you ever owned
Chevrolet Nationally sold 253,223 cars and 112.502 trucks during March
for a total of 365,725 units This is the highest number of units ever sold in one
month by A N Y automobile manufacturer In fact Carlson Chevrolet, in March,
sold over twice as many new cars and trucks than in any previous month Com
petitively, Chevrolet for 1973 offers the finest selection of values ever offered
to the American public, and Carlson Chevrolet is product proud.
We intentionally are over stocked, and we ll continue our lower, contest
prices with the service that you should expect
We will appreciate the opportunity to tell you why we are convinced that
Chevrolet really "has it all" for 1973 THANK YOU
Pete Carlson
According io the ACLU, Henry Hewitt,
ACLU cooperating attorney representing
Thompson, demanded that Thompson be
reinstated at a March 14 meeting with
Superintendent DeMarsh and the Sandy
School Board The Board refused to do so
on the ground that Thompson in signing
the statement of protest had no, complied
with established school district gnevance
procedures
