Koontz praised the quality of the education pro- vided by the institution.

The state should move cautiously toward placing the majority or all of the handicapped children in the public school system.

Maid service for the superintendent's residence.should be discontinued and the employe providing it be assigned to other work.

(ITI Photo) Valley weather BOISE--A steadily weakening weather front now over Eastern Washington and Oregon will move over the northern half of Idaho this afternoon and tonight. Some increased cloudiness will result and some additional shower activity will develop over the higher terrain. Over Southern Idaho the lingering clouds finally departed in eastern portions of this region leaving generally fair skies across the area.

The weather front to the west will spread some i and high cloudiness over this section late tonight and early Sunday. Low temperatures last night over the state were generally in the 20s. However Fairfield did drop to 19 for the coldest spot reported so far in the state. Otherwise little change is expected from current highs and lows over the next couple of days. The extended outlook shows Idaho i i under the influence of a west to east flow from the Pacific which should snunt Pacific frontal systems over the state through the first of next week at about 30-40 hour These systems will produce rain in the valleys and snow over the mountains as they pass over the state.

Idaho I The search for an elderly Seattle man believed to have been abducted from a trailer near here Sunday has failed to turn up any clues, the Shoshone County sherilf's office reported Friday. Deputy Bob Curtis said no trace of Elmer Caffiere, 72; has been found after four days of searching a 10-square-mile area north of here and in the vicinity of the trailer in which Caffiere was living.

The Canyon County Planning and Zoning Commission had denied a request by Jim Fuller to rezone 90 acres on the west side of Star Road between Highway 30 and the Union Pacific 'Railroad tracks and this decision was appealed to the commissioners. In a wide-ranging public hearing Friday afternoon, members of the Planning and Zoning Commission reiterated their stand on preserving agricultural farmland and chairman Robert Bushnell asked the county commissioners for guidance if this stand was considered wrong. "The policy of this board to preserve agricultural land is accurate and as it should be," Bushnell said.

"Unless the county commissioners say that our thinking is wrong, the policy we have adopted wrong, I believe we are warranted in being upheld." The chairman of the planning and zoning commission added that if the commissioners, suggested the area should be reconsidered as an industrial site, the commission would do this and try to provide proper services in the area. Bushnell also asked for a meeting with the incoming county commissioners to formulate a development direction for the county. In regard to the Fuller request, Bushnell said industrial and commercial sites were provided in the cities, which had invested money to prepare these sites. He commented the cost of land in these areas was not exorbitant because services such as sewer and water, police and fire, were provided. Fuller contended the 90 acres was an "ideal" location for a light industrial zone State board meeting because of its central location in Treasure Valley and its access to the freeway, the railroad, and power and gas lines.

In response to questions, he said most of the acreage was presently in farmland and yielded approximately 85 pounds of mint to the acre. Several commission members and cnunly commissioner Ira Craven commented the land was "prime agricultural' and should not be taken out of production. Bushnell also re-stressed the planning and zoning commission's policy of not a i spot zoning or establishing a zoning precedent in an agricultural area which could spread. He pointed out a decision by the county commissioners several years ago to permit Fuller to rezone 20 adjacent acres had probably led to the present request. Besides a letter from fuller, a letter from.

Robert Todeschi, president and general manager of Idaho Concrete Pipe Co. of Nampa, urged the commissioners to overrule the denial and allow Fuller's proposed industrial park. "We do not disagree that good farmland should be encouraged to remain farmland, but the (planning and zoning) commission's stand has been if it raises grass iLis farmland and shall remain as such. This is very narrow minded planning." the letter said. also stated, "We feel Mr.

Fuller has a well-planned development that has water, power, drainage, natural gas, rail service. Interstate promimimity and location to serve the entire Valley as well as provide additional employment for people of Canyon Counly." No decision on the appeal was reached Friday. Commissioner William Norberg, who conducted the meeting, said the testimony at the hearing would be reviewed by the Board of Adjustmeni and the county prosecutor before findings were prepared.
