"1 Til LOS ANGELES, March 27 (UP) Two attorneys demanded today dismissal of the county's entire jury panel for 1948, asserting a preponderance of women deprives defendants' of their constitutional rights. Lawyers Russell E. Parsons and Morris Lavine told Superior Judge Frank G.

Swain that the panel is chiefly composed of housewives, who "do not know as much about business matters as others might." Court Commissioner Vernon W. Jannie explained that 35,000 names, drawn from registered voters lists, were screened to 3,500, and acknowledged that about 75 per cent of these were women.

He won the British championship no less than six times and although the Indian Sultan Kahn wrested it from him in 1932, he was considered by many to be the most talented of the native born players. He was a deep player, but because of poor health and lack of funds he never rose to the heights which he might have achieved. Yates always played to win and while with this aggressiveness he hurled down many of the strongest masters, he also lost games he should have drawn. Often he exhausted his reserves trying to find a win in a drawn position or defending a hopeless position to the bitter end, and yet many times when in a bad position he would spring a surprise combination and turn the tables on his unwary opponent. He was small and delicate quiet and modest, unassuming and shy, yet he made a host of friends in his travels.

In his fime he defeated all the great players, even Dr. Alekhine having to capitulate twice when he was the world's champion. One of his most satisfying triumphs is given below. Dr. Tarrasch objected to Yates' entry into the Hamburg tournament in 1910 on the ground that he wasn't strong enough for that kind of competition, but he was soon forced by the Englishman to change his opinion.

Dr. Tarrasch lost to Yates in this tournament! The man in the street might know nothing at all about the greatest game in the -world, but he did know that Jose R. Capablanca was Mr. Chess. There was such effortless ease and grace in the way he disposed of his competitors.

Chess was a logical but still a simple game as Capablanca played it But not always did things go easily and smoothly even for the mighty Cuban. There was the time when Capablanca had to play off a "the rest is a matter of technique" win again Yates. Capa was dressed for tennis, as he expected to polish off the Englishman quickly and then devote the rest of the afternoon to tennis. Hour after hour passed and Yates still hung on. When the game finally ended the sun had long since set, and the landscape was black.

Yates looked outside, turned to Capablanca and said, "Do you still want to play tennis, Mr. Capablanca?"

nn rr biJLlijvJ YOU TI Me LA In answer lo the paid advertisement published in the Sebastopol Times Friday, March 26, by unknown party or parties, we the undersigned wish to correct Ihe misstalsmnts and contradictions appoorina said advertisement. We refer you to articles appearing in the Sebastopol Times on the following dates, February 13th and March 19th. When the present grammar school was built, the plans included an additional two-room. Due to the fact that these two additional rooms would not solve our housing problem, the state has refused to recommend their construction. A plan has been submitted for construction of 8 class rooms, at an approximate cost of $140,000, on the present site.

In doing this it would be necessary to eliminate the Primary Building, thereby eliminating 4 class rooms at a cost of $140,000, and further over crowding our crowded school grounds. We feel this type of planning would be very near sighted, and would not solve our problem. We not only think it advisable to have two separate elementary schools, but it is recommended by the State Dept. of Schoolhouse Planning, that no elementary school should consist of more than 500 pupils. A check of births in our district will amply prove that Sebastopol has grown and will continue to grow to approximately 846 pupils in 1951, not considering new residents coming into the district.

A new school is the only logical solution. Temporary buildings are almost as expensive as permanent buildings and still overcrowds the play ground, which, the State claims is as essential as class rooms. The $184,000.00 bond issue will take care of our present needs. Any amount above this the State has assured us will be taken care of by a grant from a fund set up by the state for the purpose of aiding districts which have reached their limit of bonded indebtedness. An elaborate survey has been made by the Board of Trustees, with the assistance of the architect and Dept.

of Schoolhouse Planning and finds the proposed site to be the best location possible to serve the needs of the District. Using the present assessed valuation, the increase in the tax rate will average approximately 26c per hundred valuation. The bonds will retire in 20 years NOT 25 YEARS AS MISSTATED in the article It will take at least six months for complete detailed plans to be made and approved by the state aftet the Bond Election. The board has inspected several plans of modern schools and is proceeding accord ing to advice by the State Department of Schoolhouse Planning. Do you know that Sebastopol Union School District tax rate is one of the LOWEST in the State.

The City may be bonded to its legal limit but the School District is not. The present putstanding indebtedness of the School District is $18,000. Regardless of taxes, our children must be educated. A tunnel under Bodega Avenue giving school access to public playground would be prohibitive. Th cost would be nearly half of the proposed bond issue.

The new site, grading, and construction of class rooms are all included in the $184,000 Bond Issue. The and most economical way to keep Sebastopol tax-solvent, is by improving our schools; making them attractive and sufficient to give the children an adequate and modern education. The dire need for more classrooms makes it mandatory that double sessions be started next fall. This means that the children will be under school supervision for one. half day only.

Those interested in keeping our children off the streets and in class rooms will vote "Yes" at the Bond Election, Tuesday, March 30th at the elementary schools. The polls will be open from 8:30 A.M. until 7:00 P. M. Call Sebastopol 195 if you need transportation.
