Junior high school program, said the "6-3-3 plan," would be for six years of elementary school, three years of junior school and three years of high school. Assembled trustees agreed to point a Citizens Advisory Committee to aid the board in running the program, which looks like an election early this fall. Voters of the district are to choose or reject the junior high proposal and to vote on bonds for construction of two junior high schools in the district. At present pupils spend six years in elementary grades, two in junior high and four in high school. Rearrangement of the high school salary schedule led off the agenda for the high school board meeting. Board members suggested that teachers' pay be increased because "we rely on the teachers to teach our kids, so we should pay them at least as much as is paid to men 'out rough-necking.'" The new schedule will raise average pay $350 above last year's schedule and cuts pay for extra curricular activities $50. Cafeteria workers were given a five-cent-an-hour increase in pay and non-certificated employees were given a $10 per month pay raise. Property proposed for purchase; adjacent to the present high school grounds on the west end, belongs to John Dwyer, who was offered $20,000 and Margaret Hess, who was offered $20,750. Purchase of water stock at $225 per share was agreed upon in both cases.

Purchase of water stock at $225 per share was agreed upon in both cases. A state legislature ruling that average daily attendance rates will no longer be paid for summer activity classes led the board to pass a resolution requiring that charges be paid for all summer recreational activities, music, swimming and tennis participated in by elementary school students. The board agreed to pay expenses of a trip to Berkeley, May 25 to 26, by Paul Demaree, AUHS principal, who will attend the meeting of the California association of Secondary School administrators: A $30 contribution to the Orange county fair assn., was approved by the board for the high school's planned participation in fair activities this year. Interviews with prospective teachers to fill three vacancies on the AUHS faculty will be held May 29 at 7:30 p.m., the trustees decided. Election (Continued from Page 1) in the Elementary school system by insuring that "minority" groups would not control the system and that taxpayers' money would be spent in a business-like manner. Tax money for schools he points out, comes from all tax payers. The other candidates pledge they will administer the affairs of the school system in the public interest and will do their best to make sure that the education programs in the city schools are as effective as possible. The race for the high school board has not been the subject of much campaigning. The candidates have offered their names and are leaving it to the voters to decide. Running are Everett Cone and Arthur Shipkey, incumbents, and Bernard Flynn, the challenger. The two men highest in the voting will fill the two positions for the Rex's grandfather, who moved west before the Civil War to help found a modern city where once grew wild mustard. Mr. Coons, now 41, lives with his wife, the former Marguerite Spena, and their daughter Diane Rae, 14, at 7741 Liberty Lane. The education of the man who now owns and operates the Rex Construction Co., of Anaheim, began in the local schools. Mr. Coons graduated from elementary schools, and the Anaheim Union high school in 27. He attended and was graduated from Fullerton junior college, and the University of California at Santa Barbara where he majored in education. Following his graduation, he taught in the Santa Barbara schools for one year at which time he concluded that his future rested in the engineering field. Having minored in engineering at the university, Mr. Coons took additional work in civil engineering and obtained valuable experience in the field by working for various contractors including Wilson and Beaver Construction Co., Alfred Picbel, both of Anaheim and William Rohracher of Santa Ana. During the next 10 years he was associated with the engineering department of the Standard Oil Co., where he worked on con- The race for the high school board has not been the subject of much campaigning.

"On the other hand, that property has been in our family for 500 years. That makes the decision difficult, too." His wife said the property "would be wonderful for the children. She has two—Davis, 7; and Grace, 5; and expects a third in August. But she listed these drawbacks: inheritance taxes would take half the estate, the manor houses would require a large number of servants at considerable expense; tenants working on the estates create a number of administrative problems. James has until June 30 to decide. If neither of the brothers accept the inheritance, a nephew of Sibyl Gape gets third chance to meet the provisions of the will. He should not have to hesitate. He's British. In 1951 the number of horses on U.S. farms dropped below 5,000,000 for the first time in the history of U.S. Department of Agriculture reports. During the next 10 years he was associated with the engineering department of the Standard Oil Co., where he worked on construction throughout the western half of the United States. In 1942, he became assistant superintendent for the Gibbons and Reid Co., engaged in building many war-time air fields. Late in 1942, Mr. Coons joined the Douglas Aircraft Co., and served as a structural engineer until 1946 at which time he founded the successful construction business bearing his name. Many residents will recall Rex's mother, Mrs. Mary Ella Coons, who served Anaheim for many years as Postmistress. He has one brother, Dr. Arthur G. Coons, president of Occidental college in Eagle Rock; two sisters, Mrs. Robert B. Gregg and Mrs. Ralph Seward, both of Anaheim. Active in many civic activities, husband.

If we are to live in a city and enjoy the benefits of a municipality, I firmly believe that we must share in the responsibilities of maintaining that form of government, regardless of the cost in personal sacrifice. "It is because of this personal from Long Beach to Orange county. While in Long Beach he was active in youth work, serving in capacity of Scoutmaster and was one of five men who organized and guided the extensive Long Beach Boys' club. During World War II he served as a lieutenant in the Navy and is now a member of the USNR with rank of lieutenant commander in the dental corp. A booster and chairman of the Dental Health Education committee of Anaheim, he has worked continually with this committee since it's beginning five years ago. He is a past president of the Orange County Dental society and has been secretary-treasurer for the past two years. His feelings concerning the dental health program are very strong. The work has made him aware that much can be done in the field. Other activities that take up his time are the Elks club and Lions. All the remainder of his spare time goes to his children; Shelley, 17, David, 18, Glenda, 13, and Curtis (Butch), 2½. Shelley is a senior at AUHS and is president of the Girl's League. David is also a senior, mechanically inclined. Glenda attends eighth grade at Fremont and spends her spare time with her horse, Blanca. And Butch, he spends all of his time "talking." Mrs. Geritude Smith is a member of the BTA but most of her Shelley is a senior at AUHS and is president of the Girl's League. David is also a senior, mechanically inclined. Glenda attends eighth grade at Fremont and spends her spare time with her horse, Blanca. And Butch, he spends all of his time "talking." Mrs. Gertude Smith is a member of the P-TA but most of her time is spent on her family. She does a large amount of gardening, primarily to keep Butch out in the sun, and she is also a professional china painter. Dr. Smith owns a ranch near Villa Park where he spends as much time as possible on his hobby, agriculture. He grows oranges and a various assortment of other citrus fruit. When asked for a statement about the schools, Dr. Smith replied, "I am keenly interested that the youth of our community have the best basic fundamental schooling possible, yet broad enough to cope with the business world and an awareness of responsibility of good citizenship. If elected, I will consider the obligation as my first responsibility and will welcome constructive criticism and suggestions to further the interest of our Anaheim schools."
