Casey, present chairman of the board, deserves credit for these great advances. Calmly, quietly, andably he has stood for progress combined with fiscal responsibility. In his bid for re-election next Tuesday, he deserves the vote of all who value the finest educational advantages forthe kids of western Nevada County. We also strongly support the candidacies of James Willis and Peter Ingram, both of Nevada City. We support these men for two prime reasons: 1. Both are intelligent, able, and experienced in the needs of the district. Both, we believe, are open-: mindedandrespectful of varying points of view, yet willing to stand up for the best interests of the district when called upon to do so. 2. As the only candidates from Nevada City, Willis and Ingram should be elected if the traditional balance on the high school, board between Grass Valley, Nevada City, and the rural areas is to be preserved. It is important, we believe, that the "gentleman's agreement" to keep this balance remain in force, for only thus can the board continue to enjoy the fullest possible support from the entire community. The election of CASEY, WILLIS, and INGRAM will be, we believe, in the best interest of the Nevada Union High School District. EDITORIAL Recall Is Meaningless-Vote No Most voters are perplexed by the inClusion of a recall ballot in next week's school elections, and with good reason. The plain fact is that this ballot, appearing at this time, raises more questions than it answers, and serves_to divide the community and inject confusion in what shouldbe and must be a clear-cut regular election of new high school board members. A yes vote for the recall would be meaningless and have little effect on school policy, beyond creating temporary confusion and making our fast-improving school systema laughing stock around the. state. A NO vote, on the other hand, would clear the air of confusion, give a round vote of confidence to the three board members who have accomplished-so much to modernize and improve the quality of our secondary education, and open the way to an orderly installation of newly-elected high school board members July Ist. -”* We urge a down-the-line NO vote on'therecall. : Seven Candidates Seek Seats On NUHS Board In Election Tuesday vate a close and interesting race for the board seats: A “gentlemen's agreement" that board representation be split between Grass Valley, Nevada City, and the rural area ona 2-2-1 basis respectively has been in operation since unification. As a result, many people are asking the election of Ingram, Willis and Casey. In this way, the agreement can be maintained, since Ingram and Willis reside in Nevada City. Atthesametime, a group favoring the recall is seeking theelectionof Kraushaar, Cox and Willis. Added tothe troubled waters as a write-in candidate, Magonigal is supported by some who claim he is best fitted for the job regardless of his residence. With seven in the race for three seats, the high school board election has many in the county guessing. Tuesday night will give the answer. .
