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

Th* Tamarack Tre*
By Howard Breslin
Around this tree flowed the
events of this tiny Vermont vil
lage, events that changed the
course of history and the lives
of the people of that small town.
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.
