Cunningham Marietta Jaycees Secretary Local school control is center of dispute The Donegal School Dis- trict is one of the 170 school districts participat- ing in a battle for more local control of the pubiic schools which will continue as the State Supreme Court is expected to hear an appeal by the Department of Education to restore student rights and respon- sibilities regulations as es- tablished by the State Board of Education. The 170 school districts, almost one-third of the state’s S0S school boards, have organized under the “Committee for Local Ed- ucational Control’’ and the Girard School District, which originally began le- gal action challenging the state board’s rule making authority. The Girard School Dis- trict, along with 28 other school districts joined in the original action two years ago. An additional 12 school districts and one intermediate unit also sup- ported these districts. Commonwealth Court last March handed down a 6-1 decision that said the “Inflation”’? Bob Spangler of Spangler Appliances, Marietta, says that inflation hasn’t affect- ed the price of freezers yet. For instance, in 1956 a 13.4 cubic foot Frigidaire freezer cost $40 more than a comparable 15.6 cubic foot Frigidaire on the market today. Bob has also compared state board’s student rights regulations were ‘‘invalid for want of a statutory authority to support them.”’ The court found the state board has no statutory authority to adopt such regulations, but rather the School Code specifically grants authority over stu- dent conduct to local school boards. J. Donald Schwab, oper- ating committee chairman for the consortium and a former member of the Girard school board, said a request had been made for the Supreme Court to hear the case in Pittsburgh in September. ‘Contributions have been received from large metropolitan areas as well as small school districts, which indicates the broad base of support for our position in this case,” he said. ‘‘We are enthused by the support of so many districts and pleased that the Supreme Court will hear this issue of statewide interest in September with the hope that local control of schools will be assured.” his recent electric bills to an electric bill his father paid in February of 1949. He figured out that his father paid 3.7 cents per kilowatt-hour and today he pays 4.2 cents per kilowatt -hour. That’s an increase of only 2 cent in electric rates in over 28 years.

Good’s play explores social change How did a Mennonite family react when one of their own ‘‘Had to get married’’ in 1957? Was it significantly different from their response when one of their daughters leaves her husband in 1977? Do Men- nonites face social change and changing family values in much the same way most Americans do? The Newcomers is Merle Good’s newest play and it probes the changes of attitudes and lifestyle of the Newcomer family. Each act of the three-act play takes place in a different decade—1957, 1967 and finally 1977. . The Newcomers pre- mieres at Dutch Family Festival on Tuesday, Au- gust 2, at 8:00 p.m. It continues its five-week run, Tuesdays through Satur- days at 8 p.m., closing on Saturday, September 3. Good is also directing the play. “‘It deals with many themes our people have experienced these twenty years,’ he says. ‘‘If we are successfull in the staging, DHS Honor Roll During the fourth mark- ing period at Donegal High School, the following stu- dents were on the ‘‘A”’ Honor Roll: Terry Berg; Julie Ends- low; Connie Frey; Dean Bricker; Deana Germer; Lisa Mummaw; Alice Mus- ser.
