Villages debate school plan at Pulaski New Bedford meeting
About 150 residents packed a Pulaski gym to question Wilmington Area administrators who seek to restructure the villages’ elementary schools by moving grades between New Bedford and Pulaski. They want no part of a plan to create a single range of classes, with busing up to six miles. Some backed equalizing class sizes, others warned smaller classes may not occur with the proposed shifts.

Downturn in economy predicted by Mellon Bank economist
Pittsburgh based UPI reports Mellon Bank economist Norman Robertson warned the current downturn could be the most severe since World War II. He cited a near 40 percent chance of a peak-to-trough GNP contraction similar to 6 percent in 1973-75, tied to rising consumer savings and inventory buildup. He warned higher saving could drain over $23 billion from consumer spending, with ripple effects across the economy. Robertson also blamed inconsistent federal policy for ongoing instability and warned future inflation recessions could be worse if anti inflationary resolve falters.

Budget delay blocks rehiring 31 Vital Statistics workers
In New Castle the rehiring of 31 Vital Statistics staff is stalled as lawmakers wrestle with the next year’s budget. State Rep Thomas Fee expects quick passage, but a Senate House dispute over a large allocation and a track fee bill keeps the staff idle. Birth certificates now take 8 to 10 weeks instead of 10 days. The office handled about 2,500 requests daily before layoffs reducing staff from 123 to 92.
