County Education Reform Proposal Aimed at Consolidation
The plan calls for a six member county school commission chosen by district delegates serving three year terms without salary but reimbursement. It would lead consolidation, approve budgets, monitor state funds, limit high schools, control purchases and new building plans, and appoint a county superintendent with expanded powers to improve instruction and equalize funding across districts.

A Los Angeles Times writer says the Bedlington terrier looks deceptive but is a brave versatile sporting terrier. It excels at vermin control, retrieves in rough shooting, and shows a muscular, springy gait with a distinctive coat and roach back. An automotive note adds a European engine test running 52 hours 46 minutes at 4000 rpm, equating to about 6000 miles.
