The number of active school districts during the 20 year period has been reduced from 2,015 to 520, the re port shows. But governmental organiza tion in unincorporated urban areas has become increasing ly complex, and the number of active special districts pro viding urban-type services has increased from 92 to 500. "These units are largely lo cated in urban and urbanizing areas. Here, they frequent ly overlap to form a veritable crazy quilt of local jurisdic tion and taxation," the re port says. drivers are the only ones who receive the wrist watch for five years of safe driving. Wood crew drivers re ceiving awards were Bob Bishop, one - year; Claude Johnson and Sid Jones, three year; Thomas J.

SENTIMENTAL PASTRY East St. Louis, 111. - IUPII -Mr. and Mrs. Robert Bayless still have a piece of their 19-year-old weddjng cake. Try and Stop Me -By BENNETT CERF- I'VE OFTEN been asked what contestant, of all the thou sands I've encountered on the TV panel show, "What's My Line?" I remember most clearly. Without any question, it w?r a chap -who work ed at one of New York's summer recreation cen ters. No sooner had we guessed his occupation and shaken hands with him than he walked in to the arms of six cops who were waiting for him in the wings. It developed that the l misguided lad was want ed in six different states for stealing automobiles. The minute his face was reproduced von the TV screen, every police station in New York was alerted and went into action! Another contestant we "What's My Line" panelists will not forget in a hurry waa a darling old lady who waa a "cow wash er." Yes, she washed cows at a big dairy in New Jersey. We missed her occupation by the proverbial mile. What is worse, they brought her back to face us once more three years later and we missed her all over again! Allan King aaked a veteran judge, "How do you usually decide a case?" The judge answered, "First, I read the facts of the case. Then I listen to the plaintiff. Then I render my verdict" "Don't you listen to the defendant, too?" demanded the aston ished Mr. King. "Never," Insisted the Judge. "That would get ma all mixed up." O 1963. by Bennett Ceif.
