Johnston City milk bid approved by school board
The Johnston City Unit School Board accepted a milk bid for the next school year from Johnston City Sealtest distributor Art Heiser at 6 cents per carton for white milk and 61⁄2 cents for chocolate milk. The board discussed but took no action on a potential cooperative student teaching plan with Southern and Eastern Illinois universities. Boilers and safety upgrades are underway across all four district schools to meet state requirements. A separate item notes a favorable House committee report for a state supported junior college in East St. Louis, with a likely vote soon and a $750 state appropriation aiming for a September opening.

Black lawmakers push cohesive stand in Illinois Assembly
Black legislators in the 76th Illinois General Assembly show growing unity with 18 members, 14 in the House and four in the Senate, mostly from Chicago. They mobilized against income tax deals, pressured for minority job programs, and leveraged filibusters to win concessions while Rev. Jesse Jackson drew dramatic support in a House appearance.

Pinckneyville Council to Fill Vacancy and Meter Contract
The Pinckneyville City Council scheduled an adjourned meeting Tuesday at 2pm to fill a council vacancy and review a proposed ordinance for downtown parking meters. Billy D. Smith resigned as councilman and public health and safety director, citing lack of cooperation from other officials. Smith was elected in 1967. The council may appoint to the unexpired term and discuss a meter contract to install downtown meters, a practice rare in the region.
