Paragraph
SEA-Board of Education
negotiators, Thursday, completed one paragraph of the
proposed 1967-68 contract. . .
and then bogged down on the
next.
Board negotiators accepted,
without change, the SEA-pre-
pared .paragraph containing
the phrase "a quality education for the children of the
Saline . area." In an earlier
meeting, they had suggested
inserting "commensurate with
the financial resources of this
^district,'.'„. or _eyen "the: best
*edir.ation possible." '        """"'"'
The next paragraph' now
under scrutiny, is "more complicated." an SEA spokesman
said, without going into, detail. It will be discussed at
the next meeting,' Thursday
night  -..--.     .    •    -
Ther e are- approximately
210 paragraphs in the contract proposal.'"

second term.

term is Hugh Austin, who
said today, "My _ main interest right now is in the new

An old lady died suddenly .Friday morning .'". . but
after a very "long illness. Gracious as she had been in
other days, the Tiistoric .Mills Jiause was "all rotten inside, and just about ready to fall down", according to
the professional wrecker whoiembved it. He added: "If
they were going to restore this place, they should have
started 50 years ago-. . . if s way too late now."
The house was built in 1833, one of the first in Sa-
Iin_v--and Historical Society members and friends had
hoped to keep it and restore it. IJut the American Legion
badly needs the site, for expansion purposes.. -. and the
old house couldn't stand moving.   . • *".    '    .;
