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

Some of the experiences
include the loss of a baby
just before birth, a child
who needs emotional help
in a setting where such
needs sometimes seemed
shameful, a daughter want-

she met in the peace
movement, and the threat-
ened loss of the home
farm.

sents the tenth full-length
