Schools stay closed due to flu outbreak WAVERLY. Mo (AP) School officials here said they will decide during the weekend whether to reopen area schools following closings prompted by a high absentee rate because of the flu.

Three schools in the Santa Fe school district, located in the Waverly-Alma area, were closed by what has been diagnosed as B-type Hong Kong flu. Greg Prather, district superintendent, said that about 40 per cent of the elementary school students and one-third of the high school students were absent Tuesday. Prather said a telephone survey among parents that day indicated the projected absenteeism would be over one-third and decided to close schools until Monday. A survey to be taken this weekend will determine if reopening is feasible. In Slater, public schools also closed most of the week because of the flu epidemic.

George Kenderick, superintendent, said the schools were closed Tuesday for the remainder of the week because 140 of the 600 elementary and high school students were absent that day and the number was expected to increase.

Carter revealed the plan in a talk to employes of the Department of Housing and Urban Development Thursday. Sources in the Treasury Department said the shift in the tax burden might be offset by other portions of the Carter tax package which have not yet been disclosed The President plans to submit his tax reform package to Congress in the fall. The flat dollar amount would also replace an existing credit of $35 per person. The present $750 personal exemption means a $1,500 tax saving 'or a family of four with enough income to be taxed at the rate of 50 per cent. But a family of four in the 14 per cent bracket saves only $420.

Treasury officials said the credit system, unless offset by other parts of the package, would benefit taxpayers with incomes below around $20,000 to Woman's petition for damages is settled here A $500,000 damage suit, filed in Circuit Court Oct. 29, 1975, by Rita Klara Schwenk, 2406 West First, and her children, David Warren and Kent William Schwenk, was ruled in favor of the plaintiffs in Circuit Court Thursday by Judge Donald Barnes.
