A CURRICULUM HEAD HIRED BY LIBERTY Frank Creason Now Superintendent of Johnson County District ASSISTANT TO LIDI KAY Official Will Assume Two Positions on August 1 Frank Creason, superintendent of the Valley View elementary school district in Northeast Johnson County, has been hired as director of curriculum of the Liberty school system. Don R.

Lidikay, superintendent of the Liberty district, confirmed the appointment last night. Creason will also be an assistant to Lidikay. He will assume his new duties August 1. "I think very highly of Frank, Lidikay said. He will be a real asset to our district." The Liberty district operates five schools and serves children from kindergarten through the twelfth grade.

About 3,000 children are enrolled. I am most anxious to complete the year here and have this staff of teachers and a program established for next year, Creason said last night. I am very much impressed with the staff of teachers we have at Valley View and am channeling my energies to complement it with new teachers for next fall. The program at Valley View will move forward as it has. There will be no changes in it nor in the curriculum.

Creasons position in the Valley View district has been tenuous since the election of two new board members last spring. The board called for a review of his contract last July after It had been signed by the old board. Creason submitted a letter of resignation January 6, apparently as a test to seek assurance his contract would be renewed. The board voted 3 to 2 to accept the resignation. Later, a patron asked the board to reconsider the decision to accept the resignation.

The board voted down the request. A replacement is expected to be named soon. BIDS FOR JUDGE ANEW Joe C. Crain Seeks G. O.

Harry S. Jonas, Good Government league candidate for the district 4 seat in the April 7 city council election. He spoke at his home, 11711 East Markham road, Independence, at a coffee attended by 52 persons. The real issue in this campaign, he said, is whether our citizens want to continue the progress made in honest professional city government or whether we want to turn back the clock three years and again have our city under the thumb of the old political factions. Just where did our city tax dollar go before 1961, when we had the same tax levy and no apparent accomplishments to show for it? he asked.

Other speakers were Alan B. Slayton, councilman, and Mrs. Sue Ross, Good Government league secretary. the city has stored 34 loads of black dirt, about 175 tons for use this year.
