8 A SUNDAY. JUNE t. 19E3 MEDFORD MAIL TRIBUNE. MEDFORO. OREGON Evans Valley School Patrons May Vote on Grants Pass Bus Run Evans Valley The ques tion of whether school bus run transporting students to Grants Pass High school should be continued Is tenta tively scheduled to be put to the voters later this month. Following a public meeting here Thursday night during which some residents ex. Dressed opposition to continu. ing the run, the Evans Valley school board and budget com mittee decided to make an effort to put the matter on the ballot. Board members were not certain whether they could legally place the Issue on the ballot, however. The legality of the proposal was being checked. The service to Grants Pass was initiated by a vote of the people some years ago. While considering the mat' ter of the school bus run, vot ers also would be asked to vote for or against the same hudset thev defeated May by a margin of 80 to 52. The date of the election was ion. tatlcly set for Thursday, June n. Total Tax Lary . The budget calls for total tax levy of $88,741.15 representing an Increase of $1,632.43 over last year levy.

This year mere ' were 64 high school age stu dents in the district, of wnom 18 attended Grants Pass High. , , At the budget hearing, at tended by approximately 80 residents, the principal obtcc tion to the proposed budget appeared to center around the Grants Pass bus run.

Those advocating elimina tion of the bus service argued that such a move also would alleviate the necessity for a second bus run each after noon in the Evans Valley area itself which now is made necessary by the fact that the Grants Pass students get back to the valley somewhat later than the closing hour of the Evans Valley Elementary school. Some school board and budget committee members said, however, that it wa not absolutely certain tha elimination of the Grants Pass service would reduce operating costs. Some federal subsidy money now received as a result of the Grania Pass service would be lost, they pointed out, and other fac tors were mentioned. One member spoke of the problem of interrupting the educational careers of those students who have already started at Grants Pass High school.

Crusade Budget Committee Reviews Programs of Agencies Lawrence S. Horton, United Crusade president, reported last week that the Crusade budget committee has held several meetings at which the work of the member agencies, their expenditures, and the needs of the community have been reviewed The work of the committee will end in time to make a final report to the board of directors June 17, he said The board, on the basis of the Try and Stop Me -By BENNETT CERF- VAUGHN MEADER is acquainted with a door-to-door brush salesman who has developed an absolutely fool proof technique.

Last year's agency requests totalled more than $23,600 above the final allocation to them. Requests were trimmed to make a more realistic goal. This year's budget requests are somewhat above the total of last year, Horton said. Better Serve Community Horton pointed out that agencies entering membership in the United Crusade submit to disciplines which enable the Crusade to better serve the community in raising and distributing money to meet community needs. One of these disciplines is the yearly budget process and the accept ance of an allocation which, in many instances, Is much less than the amount re quested. In carrying out a program with a reduced budget, agen cies are driven to economies to make every dollar count in service. Needs for agency services grow with increases in population in a county such as ours, Horton said. A yearly Increase In the campaign goal Is an attempt to catch up with service to meet these needs. Last year's goal of $167,683 was met by 100.3 per cent in subscriptions. Ranger Notes Rules Of Good Camping ass r , . ..n.i. m To give a perky look to baby dresses, use extra starch at the hems.
