Corry Area Joint School Board to vote on jointure budget
The six member Corry Area School Jointure will meet Monday night in the high school library to pass or reject the 1970-71 jointure budget, which totalled 442 and is expected to pass. After district boards meet, all 32 members will vote as a single body. The budget reflects higher salaries and costs, though Corry reduced property tax by three mills. Wayne Township cut five mills, while Concord Township and Elgin Borough held steady and Spring Creek plus Columbus raised taxes. The sole business is voting on the budget and appointing a jointure treasurer from district treasurers. Corry plans to nominate Jene Howard.

The U S Command announced the end of the American portion of a major operation in the Se San base area, 50 miles west of Pleiku, marking the first termination of a large Cambodian offensive since May 1. The Se San operation, started May 5, yielded 104 North Vietnamese killed, 826 weapons captured, and 599 tons of rice taken, with U S losses of 30 killed and 70 wounded. Meanwhile North Vietnamese counterattacks continue near Fire Base Branch, where five U S soldiers were killed and nine wounded. The base lies about 90 miles north of Saigon, just inside Cambodia, as fighting raises the Cambodian casualties to 132 U S deaths and 506 wounded in the offensive. North Vietnamese troops were reported near Kompong Cham, expanding beyond the 2L7-mile limit.
