Change in state superintendent salary proposed
The State Board of Public Instruction unanimously voted to ask the 1969 legislature to set the state superintendent salary, arguing Johnston’s $21,000 a year is below many district leaders. They urged a level aligned with university presidents, noting higher salaries aid recruitment and retention. In nursery school talk, they recommended districts be allowed to run programs with 25 or more parents’ petition, while the Farm Bureau pushes a constitutional amendment to lift compensation limits for legislators. The board also approved $2,768 to identify the Lucas state office building with brass letters after construction of a new Grimes building.

Bridge notes from four table match end in three no trump
In a four table contract bridge match all games reached three no trump. East led a diamond three at each table. At North declarers on two tables made nine tricks after solid diamond and heart management. At one table South made nine while another table saw South down one due to tighter defense with East shifting and clubs. East’s spade play offered the only realistic beat, leading to four lost clubs for South.
