School Board Election SoughtlnMaconaquah BUNKER of school board members, rather than appointments, is the goal of a number of Maconaquah school district residents. Approximately 15 persons are circulating petitions which must have at least 800 signatures before filing with the Miami County Clerk.

The plan will then be presented for the board's consideration. Eldon Shrock, president of the Maconquah Group For An Elected School District, said that board members are now appointed by an advisory board and the trustee of each township. This plan is now in use in less that four percent of the schools in the state. Shrock explained the present system. The board member from Pipe Creek Township now represents almost 4,000 residents; the one from Harrison Township, 713.

Under the elective system, the idea is that each board member should represent as near 1,200 persons as possible. The proposed new system would have one board member representing Butler and Harrison Townships, with populations of 762 and 714 respectively for a total of 1,465. Washington Township, with township with 857 residents and Deer Creek, with 1,518 residents would be combined to form a unit represented by two board members, each representing 1,187 persons. The fourth district consisting of two precincts in Pipe Creek Township would have three board members representig 3,679 residents Pulaski Sheriff Probes Breakin brea- Xins that occurred in Medaryville sometime Wednesday night or early Thursday were investigated by the Pulaski County Sheriff's Department, The Shell Service Station on U.S. 421 was entered by breaking a window.
