Election Seen On Tiller School Reorganization Tiller-Drew - About 60 per sons attended the reorganiza tion hearing before the Doug las county rural board at Days Creek Jan. 24, pertain ing to the uniting of the Myr tle Creek, Canyonville, and Days Creek-Tiller districts into one district. Marion Krebs of Winston, a member of the rural board, conducted the meeting, hear ing first a proposal for reor ganization and then one against it until everyone wish ing to speak had done so. Those speaking for reor ganization felt students would be cither more qualified to enter college or to enter the labor market from a larger high school which offered more academic subjects and more vocational training. Reasons Given Those against reorganiza tion felt loss of local auton omy, distance of transporting pupils, and higher taxes were adequate reasons for the small districts to remain as they are. After the formal hearing there was a short question and answer period. A remonstrance petition containing 63 names was pre sented to the board making a vole mandatory. The Days Creek hearing was the last of three hearings. A remon strance petition was presented at each of the other two hearings.

During their recent meet ing with the city officials, the directors said they would turn over the remaining funds in the club treasury to the city if they could be assured the city would develop a parks and recreation program or to the Lions club to de velop a park on Bear creek in cooperation with the Jack son county parks and recrea tion commission.
