The discussion also brought
out that last year approximately
40 school districts in the state
were self-supporting and running
their schools in the black. This
year each of those same 40
districts has to run a special levy.
The special committee formed to
study a levy last year also
uncovered the fact that there
were only about three districts
that benefited from the
equalization law.

overland and were eating lunch in
the cold drizzle.
During the last snowfall,
Jackie Gearhart was returning
home from grocery shopping in
Shelton when her truck got stuck
on the Dalby Road hill.. Jackie
left the truck and walked home.
When her husband Bob retrieved
the truck later in the evening, the
groceries were gone. In the short
time the truck had been on the
roadside someone had lifted two
week's supply of food.

The Republican State Central

last Saturday morning at the

Those alternatives are: run a levy
and don't run a levy, which would
mean a lower standard of
education if we could survive or
consolidate with Shelton.
Would you believe there's still
another chapter to add to the
trouble-plagued Jerry Meachams'
story? There's a bit of good news,
too, though. First the good news,
they moved into their newly
refurbished home which fire
destroyed late last year, a week
ago last Sunday. Now the bad
news. They didn't have time to
me
well until they were loading the
boat in the truck to go home. Dex
happened to look up and saw a
huge alder rolling down river with
one end headed for the truck.
Dex was able to back the truck
out of the way but the river
dropped the tree across the road.
The truck was trapped with an
immovable log in front and a
rapidly rising river lapping at the
rear wheels. A power saw was
located and the saw teeth were
barely chewing bark when the
high water eased the log out from
under the saw and back into the
river. Undaunted by their
near-loss of truck and boat, Dex
and the Clevengers headed for the
powerhouse hole where Dex
hooked a lO-pound steelhead on
his second cast.
Fritz Dalby came out to the
Canal last week to do some
fishing from his sloop. He was
rewarded with a suntan and two
salmon.

Johnson outboard motor, their
boat trailer lights, one large bike,
one small bike and one large trike

Now down to what's
happening at the little orange and
brown schoolhouse. Friday the
sixth grade is planning a bake sale
to raise money for the Canadian
trip later this month.
The school has a set of keys
that were found recently in the
school gym. If you are missing
some keys, check at the school.
