North San Juan News _ By Idabel Covert: I am not one who bemoans the early start of the Christmas season; in’ fact, I‘m grateful to the friendly merchants for jumping the gun a bit, and I fail to see just how the festive atmosphere and Christmas music in. the stores detracts in any way from the spirit of the season. Really, it adds to the cheerfulness and gaiety. I detect a note of phony piety in the complaints one hears constantly, from Thanksgiving on, The first annual bazaar .of the North San Juan Parents‘ Club was a howling success, financially; but apparently parent participation was not what it should have been, It‘s the same old familiar story, known to all who work on community projects, of the workers and the drones. All the lovely handmade items of children‘s clothing were sold, and much of the food for the luncheon. Patsy Blakeslee and BobProut will be married Saturday, Dec. 4, in the North San Juan Methodist Church at 2:00 p.m., with the reception following in the Fire Hall; The Rev, Brian Wilber will officiate.

Present in an advisorycapacity was Mr, John McDonald of the State Schools Planning Board. Also present was Zack Stewart, of the architectural firm of Osborne and Stewart, whopresented the board with the plot plan of the proposed new school building.

It is now BUSINESS BILLBOARD too late .to register for the bond election, but don‘t forget the primaries in June, Both Mrs, Dachtler and Mrs, Stuart will have registration books from now on, so if you haven‘t registered yet, or know anybody who hasn‘t, remind them to call these girls, They are especially interested in catching the 18-year-olds. _I noticed that our supervisor Bob Long was concerned about the lack of opposition to the County Library Project when the board took up the subject last week. It seems to me that the opposition, if any, had ample opportunity to present its case; and prevailing opinion in the county is overwhelmingly in favor of continuing, the project. Why bother to put it on the ballot? The June ballot is going to be long enough as it is. Let’s don’t give up on this. There is still time to call your supervisor.
