12-Mol A proposal to establish the 12-month or year-round school in Washington's public schools has been made by the State Board of Education. The proposal for such an operation is included in the 1971-73 budget request of State Superintendent Louis Bruno, endorsed by a resolution adopted earlier this year by the State Board of Education. The state superintendent serves also as president of the State Board of Education. Bruno said he will ask the 1971 legislature for funds to establish 14 pilot projects around the state (two in each of the state's seven congressional districts) in order to let communities develop the type of year-round school which would best suit that community's needs. He pointed out that there is no one, single, year-round school plan - there are literally dozens. They can be separated into three basic concepts: the four-quarter system; the three-quarter system and the extended semester or 11-month system. However, there are many variations and combinations, too, so each school district must examine all proposals in the light of its own needs and situation, he said. "Our present nine-month school year is an anachronism dating from the last century," Bruno said. "Years ago, when children were important members of the labor force on the nation's farms, the operation of schools had to conform to the needs of an agricultural economy. Schools took second place to the seasonal demands of crops and cows. "Obviously that's no longer the case, with communities supporting multi-million-dollar facilities that depend upon an annual national public expenditure of $21 billion. In spite of the rising school costs and expanding educational requirements (~r ~he twentieth FROM e POOR ECONOMY "A penny saved is a penny earned." All too true, but medication saved could De medical disaster. Prescriptions stored in the medicine cabinet after the illness has passed are poor economy. Many will lose their potency and effectiveness. Others can increase in potency and become potentially dangerous substances. If you, for some reason, want to retain a drug -- check with your physician as to its stability on your shelf, and on the advisability of retaining it. In no case should you self-medicate with these left-over drugs. You may think you have the same condition, and you may be right; but if you are wrong, you can cause yourself considerable harm. When a course of illness has passed, destroy leftover medications.

"Better ways must be found to use school facilities and manpower. The schoolhouse doors should not be close at 3:00 each day. Schools should employ their buildings all day and their teachers all year." The National Association of State Boards of Education is considering a resolution at its national meeting this month to "advocate full, year-round use of school facilities for all educational programs in the community." The American Assocaition of School Administrators has urged educators to "reexamine the almost universal practice of leaving school plants and personnel idle at a time in our history when every available resource is needed." They have published a booklet which looks at the pros and cons of five different plans. "It's not surprising that the vacation issue creates the most opposition to the year-round school," Bruno said. "It's interesting, though, that a recent national survey shows an increasing trend away from summer as the vacation period: 14 per cent of vacationers prefer their holiday in the spring, 12 per cent in the winter and 23 per cent in the fall. That's almost half who do not prefer summer vacations. "This state's precarious dependence upon special property-tax levies for financing operations makes it even more important that expensive school buildings not stand unused in the summer. Summer school is only a partial solution, not the answer. ''Several states are experimenting with various plans - Kentucky, Georgia, Delaware, Illinois, Missouri, New York. Some of our own school districts - Seattle, Spokane, Kent - are examining the idea, too. "It's no longer a question of 'whether' we should have schools operating all 12 months of the year. The question now is 'when' :~n ~ "wh:~t plan' a,d 'where' to try it hrst." An honest politician is one who, when he is bought, will stay bought.

Tupper is an aircraft accessories repairman on the Mountain Home AFB, Idaho, team supporting F-4 Phantom aircrews flying in the month-long maneuver - the second in a projected series of exercises being held as part of the U. S. contribution to increase NATO readiness. Ninety-six Phantoms, based at Mountain Home, but still committed to NATO, made the transoceanic flight with mid-air refueling. The fighter-bomber crews, redeployed to the U. S. from Germany in 1968, are operating from their former home stations at Hahn, Spangdahlem, Bitberg and Ramstein air bases. Approximately 2,400 Tactical Air Command aircrew members and support personnel are taking part in the exercise. Sergeant Tupper is a member of the 67th Tactical Reconnaissance Wing at Mountain Home.

On July 31, 1970, she voted to give the President dictatorial power to invoke these unconstitutional controls at his own discretion. THESE CONTROLS WOULD YOUR YOUR UNIONS SKIP McCONKEY is opposed to dictatorial controls. "The idea that price and wage controls can stop inflation is false. Inflation must be stopped by attacking the cause -- namely, deficit government spending. We know from history that price and wage controls will destroy jobs, close clown industry and business, create a shortage of goods, create a black market, and in general, force us into a depression. I would very definitely work towards a reduction of government spending and a balanced budget." :T YOUR CON: to CONGRESS-G.O.P.

Adv. by Judge Charles T. Wright) I I mplim necessary commitments in the state), we have kept close track of the excellent work you have been doing for Keep Washington Green and forest fire prevention. I am sure your visits to the campgrounds and recreation areas have been most productive in preventing wild fires - how many we will never know. As you have been telling our recreation visitors and school children as well, each fire that never started could have averted a disastrous and devastating loss in suppression costs and in our natural resources - not only in trees and forest products but in soil damage, watershed destruction, wildlife losses and adverse effects on recreation. Largely because of lightning, 1970 was the worst fire year we have experienced since 1931. Of the over 3,000 fires started, 67 per cent (over 2,000) were man-caused and 33 per cent (I,000) lightning-caused. Of the over 200,000 acres burned, however, 95 per cent was because of lightining fires and 5 percent (or. about 10,000 acres) because of man's negligence. The number of man-caused starts is the highest since 1939. en Considering th hazardous season, acres destroyed at a ' reasonable' Many thanks t good work.
