Budget Increases But Tax Levy Declines For Schools
District 30 will have a lower tax levy next year to fund a bigger school budget. The levy drops from 35.42 to 35.02 mills while the 1965 budget rises to 1,098,367 from 1,024,685. The recreation tax increases to 96 cents per thousand, and most growth comes from higher teacher salaries and an extra special education teacher. The district cites a $35,000 carryover and higher valuation, plus state and local funding shifts. A public hearing is set for Aug 3 at 7:30 p.m.

Devotion To Duty Costs Pilot's Life
Maj. Charles L. Kelly, commander of the 57th U.S. Medical Detachment, died when his Dustoff helicopter was shot down during a rescue mission in Wing Long Province. He had insisted on flying at night to reach the wounded, often under enemy fire, and his final words were a defiant reply to continue the evacuation. The incident underscores the peril faced by medevac crews in Vietnam.
