SAD 71 Referendum on Dissolution Dropped From Ballot
Kennebunk Maine officials report the SAD 71 dissolution referendum will not appear on the November 5 ballot after the required three-signature warrant failed to be signed by sufficient selectmen. Only Heber Smith and Herman Cohen signed. Slowik, Trumbull, Shields did not. Clerk Wentworth warned the rule as illegal without 21 days’ notice. The incident ends the dissolution bid for this election and crowds at last Thursday’s public hearing react.

Nixon’s postoperative shock may reflect delays in treatment for phlebitis, emotional distress from Watergate, and extensive leg clots that impeded venous return, with the operation aimed to prevent a life threatening clot reaching the lungs.
