[North San Juan News
By'Idabel Covert
There is something about softly falling snow and tre singing of Christmas carols on
Christmas Eve around'the fireplace, the lighted.tree in the
background and your dearly beloved family all together (most
of them) that makes up for any
lack of felicity during the previous year. The rare’ white
Christmas that descended upon
us was greeted with whoops
of joy by the young, and some
of us older ones, but the power outage that accompanied it
certainly interrupted preparations for the big dinner in some
homes, Those of us who cook
with gas enjoyed an early din‘ner. Many thanks are due those
unsung heroes of the PG&E who
left their own holiday festivities
to get the power on again.
* Ok OK
You must be sure to usher
in the New Year at the Ridge
Rider's annual New Year's Ball,
to be held at the Fire Hall

There is so much innuendo,
distortion of fact, and out and
out misinformation being purveyed lately in the pages of
a certain publication from a
neighboring county that one wonders just what the purpose of
it all could be. Surely not
to garner free publicity to further the efforts of the writer
of this stuff to challenge our
U. S, Congressman in the June
primaries, Surely not.
Whatever his reasons, while
I hate to contribute to the publicity, I welcome the chance ~
to set the record straight concerning the new San Juan Ridge
Union School.
This purveyor of non-fact,
who shall remain nameless, is
perturbed because’ the new
school building will contain only
the square footage necessary
for the present pupil enrollment in the combined North San
Juan and Cherokee schools, If
he had attended any of the school
boardmeetings, as he should
have if he is really as public-spirited as he would have us
believe, he would have found
out that these old buildings are
being replaced under the Field
Act, which deals with earthquake safety, with the aid of
a state loan, since our bonding
capacity is not large enough by
itself to do the job. This loan,
under state law, may be used
only to replace or to bring up
to standard, existing facilities,
Since the schools have been
condemned as un-repairable, a
new building must be erected,
but only as large in respect to
’ enrollment, as the old ones were.

However, the school board and
the architect have made sure
there is ample room on the
_ property for another building
of approximately the same size, .
if at some time in the future
this becomes necessary.
I must réfute one more state‘ment. .The plans for the new
building are not in, as of this
writing. _ The: architect may
have some preliminary sketches
ready: by. Jan. 7... To’ date a
tentative plot plan has Licepeas
pared, and is displayed on the
bulletin boards of ‘both schools
for the viewing of interested
persons.
Since . all registered voters
have received sample ballots
for the bond election, and hopefully their interest is aroused,
the board of trustees is sponsoring an Informational Meeting at the Fire Hall Jan. 7,
7 p.m, All board members
will be present, also people
from the State Department of
Education and the County Office,
to bring you up to date and to
answer the many questions you
must have. It is in your your
children's interest to attend this
important meeting, to get the
straight facts. Gossip and rumor abound, as usual, but I
assure you, no more than a
handful of citizens have attended. school board meetings since
our first meeting.
The local Parents Club is
sponsoring another infor mational meeting and a potluck dinner
Jan, 14, 6 p.m., also at the
Fire Hall. This is also to
promote the bond issue. There
will be speakers at this event,
too, mostly local people. Please
plan to attend both these meetings. The bond, election is
Jan, 18, and the time is short
to get the information you need
to make your vote count.
