Page 15 The Dallas School District Board of Directors proposed a budget for 1974-75 in the amount of $4,462,666. Revenues to sup- port the proposed budget will be obtained from a 66 mills real es- tate tax, from per capita taxes that total $10.00 per taxable per- son, a 1 percent earned income tax to be shared 50-50 with the municipalities of the district, and a 1 percent real estate transfer tax, also shared 3 The 66 mills levy on real estate represents eight mills in- crease over 1973-74, but only four mills increase over the 1971-72 school tax rate. An eight mill per dollar increase on real estate represents an additional $8.00 per one thousand dollars of assessed valuation. Real estate property is assessed at one- third the market value. The 66 tate represents $66.00 per one- thousand dollars of assessed valuation. The Dallas School District budget for 1974-75 represents a sound financial plan to support an improved educational pro- gram. An eight mill increase in the real estate tax is necessary Bryn Mawr College graduates from all over the country and abroad gathered on the campus for Reunion Weekend, May 17 to 19. Eleven classes from 1914 to 1964 had official reunions. Alumnae participated in a variety of activities - meetings and dinners for individual classes, a picnic for everyone, lectures by faculty members, a concert, and visits to the Bryn Mawr and Haverford College art studios. At the close of the reunion on Sund it was announced that annu and reunion con- by Hannah Ibsen Member American Bridge Teachers Assn. Last week we discussed the “weak two bid” which is used today by most knowledgeable bridge players. Its popularity is based on the fact that this type ' hand ‘containing 22 ints or more seems to be so rare that we dop’t get many chances to bid iQ’ During one of our class ses- sions recently, a student was dealt this hand and he remem- bered his lesson on the require- mentor a “weak two bid’’ and used it to a great advantage.

Annette Beasley Hourigan, Wyoming Avenue, Forty-Fort, class of 1940 and Lenchen Coughlin Townend, Pioneer Avenue, Dallas, class of 1932, were two Back Mountain area graduates of Bryn Mawr who attended reunion ceremonies this year. Bryn Mawr is located 11 miles west of Philadelphia. It com- bines an undergraduate college for women and two graduate schools open to both men and women.

D9-3 C A-10-9-5 East noted that he had nine points in high cards and two doubletons, for a total of 11 points, not enough to bid ‘‘one diamond’, which would require 13 points. Accordingly he bid “two diamonds’, describing a hand which held exactly six dia- mond, and strength in that suit and less than a normal opening bid in point count. South passed, east passed, and north ventured to ‘‘double” looking for a suit; south bid two spades but west carried on to three diamonds and the bidding stopped there; east managed to make his contract of three dia- monds and prevented his op- ponents from finding the pos- sible game contract in spades or hearts. to offset spiraling costs and a decrease in Federal revenue. The request for additional local revenue represents a commit- ment to maintaining the quality of education desired by parents, and the quality for which the Dallas School District is noted. As inflation forces a rise in the cost of living, school district employees seek reasonable wage and salary increases. Im- proved salary and fringe bene- fit agreements for all classifi- cations of school district em- ployes result in increased ex- penditures. Prices for general supplies and instructional materials have increased sharply. Low bid prices for general supplies average almost 60 percent more than a year ago. Substantial price are also evident for building and maintenance materials and contracted repairs. These ris- ing costs extend the expendi- tures and limit the repairs and renovations to those of highest priority. During the past two years, the Dallas School District has re- ceived Federal funds to cover instructional costs for flood related pupils. These emer- gency funds were provided to assist local taxpayers to grad- ually assume the increased educational costs resulting from pupils who enrolled in dis- trict schools after the flood dis- aster. The amount of this Federal assistance is scheduled to decrease approximately $200,000 for 1974-75. The district is reimbursed a portion of the instructional ~osts per pupil from the State. In 1972, the State’s Basic In- structional Subsidy formula as implemented by Act 83 set $665 as the maximum reimbursable instructional expenditure. New legislation is required to raise the Basic Instructional Subsidy. Officials of the district have re- quested State Assemblymen and officers to seriously con- sider the plight of local districts and their need for additional State financial support to offset the rising costs of education. Many educational needs of the school program have been im- provements that have been selected for implementation are realistic at this time. Some pro- gram additions and new courses are recommended for financial support at all levels. The goals of quality education and the boys and girls will be better served through these im- provements. The financial plan recom- mended is one that demon- strates commitment to quality education for all pupils in a per- iod of economic concern and spiraling costs. The proposed budget may be inspected at the office of the secretary of the board, mezzan- ine floor, Dallas Senior High School building. An adjourned meeting is scheduled for June 28. Final approval and adoption of the 1974-75 school budget will be considered at that time. 395 WURLITZER 933 NEW AMPEG AMP 4—12"' Speakers All Controls PRE-OWNED ORGANS 915 With Rhythms and Tape WURLITZER ELECTRIC PLAYER PIANO DRUMS Dr. Haines will be followed by a selection titled ‘Prayer to Life” by William Cutter, a graduating senior.
