If you go did not want to exclude pop- ulations from being repre- sented on the board. That was the best way to meet the needs of existing demo- graphics, he said according to the meeting's minutes. Trustee Daniel King said there was no point in spend- ing extra money for the Board of Education to draw its own districts. However King said under the new system he would lose his eligibility to run for the board. King, Tom Moisey and Carolyn Steffan's terms are up for election in November. County Superintendent of Schools Larry Champion told the Board of Supervi - sors Tuesday that under the bylaws in the case where sitting trustees both came from the same district, the most recently elected would keep the seat. Champion said that would result in two trustees being displaced, but both were up for re-election in November anyway and one was set to retire. The Board of Education approved the new govern - ing areas by a 3-2 vote, with King and Brown opposing. At the Feb. 26 Committee on School District Organiza - tion meeting, which is made up of the same five trustees, Brown joined a 4-1 vote in fa- vor of the reorganization.

The Passing Parade is brought to you by by Minch Property Management, 760 Main Street specializing in commercial leasing and sales. 530 527 5514 THE PASSING PARADE (From Dave Minch's I Say circa 1939) The social season is really here with a bang. We have two invitations to attend dress up parties between now and New Year's. I am trying to get my neck toughened up so I can wear a hard collar all evening without suffocating. *** I certainly had a swell time at the Elk's Club party given by Mrs. George Growney and Mrs. Tom McGlynn Thursday night. It seems kind of necessary to dress up occasionally and go out and get your mind off ofordinary peeves and worries. George must have been hit with something hard at a party sometime, for he gave everybody white cotton snow balls to throw. They filled that urge people have to throw something but nobody gets hurt. Senator Jack (Metzger), was full of optimism about the coming year. I hope he is right, but I guess I am a pessimist. I can never think of the rainbow until after it has stopped raining. The Elk's have a club room that our town should be proud of and one just made to order for parties. Bob Garrett's Orchestra played swell music with "Oh Johnny" and "Jingle Bells" being the most popular numbers. My idea of a perfect evening is to meet lots of my friends, dance all I want and eat all I want and finally be able to leave without having to beckon for the waiter to bring me the check. *** Please don't come out to the plant (2 miles west of town off of Walnut and north on Fortier) to apply for jobs at our new By- Products plant. When we closed the store (Minch's Market on the 600 block of Main) last year, we took all of our employees out to the plant and have been keeping them all employed one way or another, so we won't need any more help for a while. *** Paul Frey, John Hoy, Carmen Rutala Sr. and I were sitting around in the yard talking about the size of families now versus a generation ago. There were 25 children in the families we were members of. Today, each of us has been married 6 years or more and we have had a total of 5 children. We believe our children will be wage earners in the future and we are wondering how many people each of them will have to support when they are old enough to work. *** Herb Flournoy was talking about stopping smoking. I* told him John Hoy had started chewing gum in order to break the habit but said the only thing it did was to give him the gum habit also. Now every time he has to buy a pack of cigarettes he has to buy a package of gum. *** *Father could have set a good example for these smokers because he, due to a strict up-bringing, never smoked nor drank. He did well by abstaining, as did his children. RM Dave Minch 1900-1964 WeDNesDAy, MArCh 19, 2014 reDBLuFFDAILyNeWs.CoM | NEWS | 7 a
