Tribune Staff Photo by Kd Bdllottx Cold car better than missing one, according to police A cold car Is better than no car, city police say, as they warn local motorists that a car left running to warm up can be stolen within sec- onds. A recent series of car thefts has prompted police to issue the warning that an unlocked car with the keys in the ignition is a prime target for auto thieves.

And police say the temptation to leave a car running as it warms on a chilly winter morning is an invitation to the auto thief.

A special warning is also being issued to owners of four-wheel drive vehicles, which have become a favorite target of thieves during winter months.

By RON DZWONKOWSKI AsMUHted Press, LANSING A cautious state Board of Kducation Wednesday night told U.S. District Judge Noel Fox that according to state law, the three southwest Michigan school districts should be combined by annexation. The board, which has also been found a party to illegal segregation the case, sent Judge Noel Fox a report suggesting the Benton Harbor, districts. merge by annexation, rather than consolidation, which had been ordered by Judge Fox on Nov. 8.

Fox had asked for a report on how to best get the job done Both merger methods require a ole of the districts residents. While acknowledging the chances of public approval either way are slim, the state board stopped short of saying Fox will have to order the change. Instead, the board said steps that follow annexation will make the changeover more smooth than consolidation. Annexation means tying two of the districts to the third Consolidation means dissolving the districts into an entire new one. It would appear that merger could be accomplished a manner more consistent with state law by utilization of the annexation procedure.

In particular, annexation seems to simplify matters j-egarding establishing a uniform tax levy and (employee) contractual agreements, the boards report said. A motion to approve the report failed, and board members decided to simply accept and transmit it. I'm very troubled with an order to ignore state law. Im very hesitant to approve it," said board member Barbara Dumouchelle I dont know what lies ahead. I just dont want it -lo-come-hack and hit Under state law following annexation, the school boards the annexed districts would have to turn over all school assets and liabilities to the third board, the Board of Education Joan Romine, historian and author, dies Mrs.
