I definitely think more construction is going to be needed. Because the bond issue is really more of a stopgap measure in some respects and as far as get ting us up to the level where we need to be. But it is a very large step in the right direction. Do you support continued de velopment of vocational programs? Yes, I definitely do. What are your thoughts on fu ture programs for students with learning disabilities and acceler ated students? Well like I’ve already said, I think these are two areas where we need to expand. Consolidated is putting these programs into effect.

But they very definitely are going to have to im prove. What do you plan to do about improving the maintenance of physical facilities? I don’t know right off the bat. I think changes do need to be made. I think part of our problem is that our facilities have not been maintained and now corrections are having to be made. I would have to take a look at it if I get elected. I think changes are in order. What do you think could be done to improve the safety and quality of present playground facilities? Again maintenance is one big thing. You need to have first class facilities and make sure you buy equipment that is safe and will not break down and keep this equip ment maintained. Right now our elementary schools are having vol unteers work on some of their playgrounds. I think this is a good idea. We ll save money and get par ents involved in the school district. Once you have these facilities con structed they need to he main tained. How do you feel about current taxation methods and how do think they could be improved? Right now I hesitate to say any thing about that. Some changes are needed. I don’t think they’re near as bad as some people would make them out to be. We definitely need every penny we’re getting right now. There are some inequalities that could be ironed out. But I’d hate to say where they could be changed right now without more in formation.

According to the yarn, a man bought Bubble Yum — a product Life Savers began marketing in mid-February — and bit into a black widow spider that was living in the gum. The spider’s eggs dropped into the man’s stomach and hatched and he died, the tale goes. The story is not true, but appa rently a lot of children believe it and they have stopped buying Bubble Yum.

Bring up the topic with Fred T. Allen, whose company has a lot to do with the mail, and get ready for an, argument. “Criticizing the mail seems to be a very fashionable thing but the fact is the Postal Service since 1970 has done a pretty credible job with what was an ineffective, inefficient opera tion that was near disaster,” said Al len, chairman of Pitney Bowes Inc. “They are considerably more effec tive than they were in 1970.” Pitney Bowes makes postal meters and other mail-related equipment but Allen said only about 2 per cent of his company’s business comes from the Postal Service. The licenses his company holds on metering machines are not exclusive and are available to any manufacturer meeting Postal Serv ice specifications. What concerns him, Allen said, is that the Postal Service is not getting credit for the progress it has made and therefore proposals to give pri vate carriers the right to carry first class mail, for example, are gaining support without explaining their consequences. “I think this would be devastat ing,” Allen said, contending private carriers would only be interested in the profitable high-volume mail routes, skimming the cream from the Postal Service which still would haveto serve l° w volumes Virtually every p osta , > the world has exclusive first-class mail, for goorl 8 1 cording to Allen. ^ "Consider the comfc transferring from one pL to another. The mailer, heck of a time determining ing according to A< mention the huge additio eminent subsidies he says Wo needed to compensate for L post office revenues. While pressure is mo un Congress for more direct over the Postal Service- back some of its indepd" granted in its reorganiJ years ago — Allen noted H e eral Accounting Office, the gressional investigative ara given the post office goodm, service, rates and employe tions.

Then why the almost unite, perception that the U.S nuili had? Improving postal produefe! harder now considering the jaiJ ready made with new mi tion, Allen said. The piece moved per postal employe,, out to 132,000 last year, up! 1 15,(XX) pieces in 1970, a tivity gain equal to HX es. \\ Will Dexter for Te: City Pi tee, d school Why ified to board?
