KEEP TWO GOOD MEN! Residents of School District 6 have elected a good man and they have also lost a good man. Bill Askwitn is qualified to serve the residents of the district as their representative on the board of directors and, we are sure, will prove himself capable. . However, the loss of Don Patterson, who has' been serving as board chairman for the past year, will also be felt. Since there will be a vacancy on the board of directors beginning July 1, we wonder if both of these highly qualifie^ men could not devote their talents to school district administration» We suggest that Don Patterson be appointed for one year to fill the vacancy created by the resignation of Hal Bishop of Gold Hill. We know there is a "gentlemen's agreement" that the board will be composed of two from Central Point, two from Gold Hill and one from Sams Valley. However, we wonder if the interests of the district could not be served fnuch more wisely with the retention of Patterson, who has eight years experience as a board member. At the present time, the school district is 1n the midst of an extensive building program composed of schools at Central Point and Gold Hill. In addition, the district will be faced with a multitude of problems this fall in establishing the two new schools, taking care of problems arising from Increased enroll ment and overseeing faculty and district personnel assignments. Patterson is experienced in all of these matters and has been a prime figure in the building program now underway. We urgently request that his appointment to-the board of directors for a one year period, until the next school district election, be given serious consideration GIRL FOR KREIDERS Rev. and Mrs. H.

From boys shooting at birds, to two men engaged in unlaw ful duel, to a lover's quarrel, and a political rally, this tree stood above it all. Lovina and Charles had J quarrel, and for a time it look ed as tho Nathan would have a chance to court Lovina. Then came the Whig Coven tion and with it manv new people including Tom Dunbar, a gentleman from the south who was to cause trouble for every body, especially Charles, but the most unexpected thing happens, and as a result of these events Nathan leaves home, for he knew he wasn’t the one for Lovina. Doc, the traveling peddler, and was always one jump ahead of the law, plays an important part in the story, as does Mercy, the young girl he adopted years be fore. All the characters are interest ing, different and well described. The story covers a short period of time, and is both interesting and exciting.
