member of the present major-
ity, Martin Noon, whose wife is
now a part-time teacher in the
district, went to Dr. Preston and
asked what he had to do to get
his wife a faculty position. Pres-
ton told Noon he would have to
contact the president of the
school board, who, at that time,
was Joseph ‘‘Red’’ Jones.”
Jones told The Dallas Post that
Noon did ask him how his wife
could get a job. Jones said that
he had explained to Noon that
his wife would have to be
approved and recommended by
the superintendent and the prin-
cipals who conduct the inter-
views, then she would have to
get at least five votes from
board members. Jones said he
explained to Noon that he
(Jones) was only one vote and
Noon would have to seek the
other votes.
Keiper and Jones both took
issue with Board President Ed
Mark’s recent statements that
Preston advocated nepotism.
Both directors believe those
statements are somewhat hypo-
critical since Mark voted to
have his own wife placed on the
district’s substitute teaching
list. At one time, before she
moved out of the area, Mark’s
daughter was a substitute
teacher in the Lake-Lehman
School District.
When the issue of hiring
Thomas Williams, son of former
board member Thomas Wil-
liams, Sr. was presented to the
board, director Bing Wolfe
remarked that he thought it was
time ‘‘we’ stop hiring school
directors immediate family
members.”’
Wolfe voted against Williams,
but voted for Noon’s wife. Wolfe
had pushed hard to have Dave
Smith hired to the faculty, but
when Mrs. Noon’s name came
before the board, he voted for
her and said no more about
Smith.
Robert Z. Belles, the superin-
tendent of the Lake-Lehman
School District prior to Pres-
ton’s appointment, said Preston
is a highly qualified individual.
“When I was about to retire
and we appointed a Search
Committee of community people
and school officials we received
about 16 applications,” Belles
said. “We narrowed these down
to eight, whom we interviewed.
“I recommended Dr. Preston
because he was far superior to
the others,” he added. ‘‘He
spent a year as an assistant
becoming familiar with our
school district, six months
under me and six months on his
own when I went on leave.”
Repeated attempts to contact
Lake-Lehman board members
Noon, Wolfe, Mark and Emery
were unsuccessful.

According to Carroll, Purcell
was acting on an anonymous
complaint of loud noise emanat-
ing from the house. Upon his
arrival at the house, the officer
knocked on the front door but
had it slammed in his face by
an unknown individual. He
experienced the same result
when he knocked on the side
door, according to Carroll.
Carroll said that Purcell then
noticed two individuals in the
yard and followed them into the
house through a cellar door that
was supposedly open to gain
entrance. He said there may

have been some time span from
when the students and the offi-

Reports were also conflicting as
to whether the door had been
broken into or not.
The committee could not
determine who the two persons
were who entered through the
cellar. One individual ques-
tioned, who was standing at the
top of the stairs, said he did not
know the two persons and that
they were not Dallas students.
A hearing will now be held on

magistrate Earl Gregory's
office for those individuals who
were cited at the incident. Some
of those charges against them
include possession, consumption
and transportation of alcohol.

Menorah, beginning from the
right. Each day, the candles are
lit from the left, using a special
candle called the ‘‘Shamas.”
The Shamas is isolated from the
other eight candles of the Men-
orah and may be placed in the
center, to one side or above or
below.
One Menorah may be lit for
each family, but a beautiful
tradition has developed in many
families with each family
member lighting his or her own
Menorah. Lighting the Menorah
is a wonderful time for the
family to sing traditional
Hanukkah songs and to tell the
Hanukkah story.
Each night at sundown, the
Read the
candles are lit -and a special
prayer is said. On the first
night, three blessings are
recited, but for the rest of the
holiday only the first two bless-
ings are said.
It has become tradition to
partake of festive meals such as
latkas (potato pancakes) and
jelly doughnuts during for the
eight days of Hanukkah. Other
popular sources of joy are
Hanukkah gifts and Hanukkah
gelt (money). In America, it is
thought that the gifts of money
to the Jewish children compen-
sate for them being outsiders of
the Christmas holiday. Each
Jewish child is given a mone-
tary gift each night of the eight
days of celebration.

added to Hanukkah is the dray-
del, a cube made of wood or
plastic with words written In
Hebrew. Those who play the
game put money into a “pot.”
Then, the draydel is spun. If it
stops at “nun,” it means noth-
ing happens. ‘Gimel’ means
“ganz’’ or the spinner takes all
“Hay” is “half” and the spinner
takes half the money, while
“shin” means ‘“shtell” and the
spinner puts in money.
Rabbis are opposed to the
gambling game since they con-
sider gamblers’ earnings akin to
taking someone’s property with-
out real contest. Thus arose the
custom for all the money to give
given to charity when the game
is finished.
