No Opposition Likely
The good news that Mrs. C. W.
Devore o f Estacada had consent
ed to allow her name to appear
as the candidate to succeed A.
Demoy on the school board, has
apparently placed a quietus on
the candidacy o f others.
Mrs. Devore is especially well
qualified to fill this important
position and with her first hand
knowledge o f schools, pupils and
latest educational methods, her
services are needed.
The value o f
woman, with
her tact and feminine view point
cannot be over estimated as an
asset to the Estacada school
board. At the special meeting
next Monday night, it is likely
that small opposition if any will
be shown to Mrs. Devore.
