Douglas Section to Close and Handley Reassignments
Douglas High School will close next year and all Winchester pupils in grades 8 through 12 will be reassigned to John Handley High School. The plan complies with the 1964 Civil Rights Act and aims for race neutral staffing, with more white teachers at Handley. The policy bars non resident students and requires a meeting with the U.S. Office of Education before January 31 to discuss attendance zones.

President Johnson appears to be suffering the less serious form of gallbladder disease, with surgery scheduled for Friday after his Sept. 7 attack.

Gallstones affect roughly a quarter of women and a tenth of men before age 60, and the gallbladder stores bile essential for fat digestion.
