So, with these requests in mind, and with Hearne's "point of departure" in their hands, the board plans to return at a later date for another informal session.

Fohi assistant principal Richard Drake urged the board to make progress on By ALLAS ROPER FOXTAXA The Fontana Board of Education continues to wrestle with the troublesome and sometimes tiring problem of the 1966-67 budget At as informal three-hour working session Monday night, trustee Ben F. Hearne Jr. gave the board his interpretation of what is involved in the budget an interpretation that turned out to be the date on the whole matter. The board finds itself on the horns of a financial dilemma at present: Whether or not to allow the educational program to go unfettered and grant the teachers the tools they are And he asked them to give serious consideration to long-range planning needs for his department by setting up some sort of continuing formula whereby he and his teachers could know from ear to year what they might have in the way of money so that they could plan ahead. Itichard J.

Tkhenor presented "a few words in behalf of Fontana Junior High." He stressed tlie needs of the athletic program, telling the board that the equipment is in such bad shape that it is no longer safe. Dr. Dennis W. Ruble, coordinator cf the district's special education program, made a plea for items for his department, including year raised its head. Business manager James E.

has told the board on sev eral occasions during discussions of district finances that one reason the schools are in bad financial condition is that the reserve is short and the beginning balance is lower than desired. A lot of the money which would be raised by a tax increase would go to replacing the drained reserve fund. Coleman explained to the board Monday night that the district has been engaged in deficit financing for several years over-spending the income. Members of the district teaching staff appeared Mon Or. whether to hold the bne on taxes.

The administration proposed budget calls for a 46-cent tax increase. And this is eliminating every single piece of new equipment asked for by department chairmen and principals in all the schools. The way Hearne, an accountant himself, explained the budget as it is proposed, fund needs amount to Of this. $4,521,029 would have to be raised from local taxes a tax rate of $4,243 per $100 of assessed valuation. Once again, the decline of the district's beginning balance that amount left over from the current year and carried forward to the new day night to plead fur some of the red-lined equipment be returned to the budget.

Esmael Velasquez Fohi foreign languages chairman, urged the board to restore cuts from his department, particularly matching funds tor the National Detent Education Act language laboratory. He explained that tlie size of the department is growing and some of the equipment will be necessary. He showed the board that a new lab hich he has requested would allow 30 hours per year more instruction because of time that would be saved. Harvey C. Hart, department chairman of industrial arts in Fohi, also appeared and urged the board to give consideration to his equipment needs.

At this point, board president John D. Piazza interrupted to point out that the district had recently purchased new typewriters and that International Business Machines had sold the trade-in machines for $85. didn't you get one of these $85 machines?" he asked. He made the point again latter when another person asked for a typewriter. Leonard Hill, Fohi fine arts chairman, pointed out that the ceramics program will be seriously curtailed unless certain equipment is added, including a gas kiln.

He said that there will be seven sections in ceramics next year and showed that it would be impossible for the projects of the students to be fired in the She Sun Inland Empire News i and LjlH yjlOp 99 kvBJ Staff to Study Area Where Service Station Is to Go CTi I VsJij til I me area. pros and cons whether or not borhood commercial, at 780 I Street. i icpiesumaiive oi a moiei tne service station would hurt at 255 Sperry Drive said, "The business.

In the ear work, the ears are turned inside out from the back side, making certain that the skin is not torn; and he then makes certain that the scalp is cut long enough for the type of mount desired. "The top of the skull with horns of antlers attached is all that is needed of the head structure," the veteran taxidermist said. "We merely saw off the top of the skull through the center of the eyes after skinning is completed."

Drainage Studv OKd by Couneil A study of drainage needs in the western section of San Bernardino has been authorized by the City Council. It will be the first step toward applying for federal funds to build a storm drain. City Engineer Purdy L. Hicks, who proposed the study, said has built the World Safari Taxidermists into one of the three largest ventures of its kind in North America and he admits that it was started with "virtually nothing" but experience.

His experience before opening his taxidermy spot with his brother, Ray. included a period with a large firm in Seattle which promoted him to assistant manager after eight months as an employe. Later, he served four years as manager of that firm's branch in Anchorage, Alaska, before he and his brother established World Safari Taxidermists at its Yucaipa address. Since that debut four years ago, Ray has completed an art studio in Oak Glen and made the north his mind will remain on the taxidermy which will be operated by two regular helpers while he is gone and he is ex pected to use this latest hunting YUCAIPA A few months ago, shortly after Hie new Yucaipa High School building on Yucaipa Boulevard at 12th Street was put to use as a temporary junior high school, many citizens particularly parents organized to protest what they said was danger for their children who became pedestrians at the school. Since two flash lights were installed at that site a few weeks ago, though, not a single word of comment from citizens has been received by George K.

Parmenter, assistant traffic engineer, and other officials. This facl was mentioned by Parmenter as he reviewed county statistics to describe the traffic situation as it now evists in the Yucaipa area. This area does't have a single traffic signal light, but that shouldn't cause residents to worry, according fo Permeiiter, because "traffic lights installed seem to increase, not decrease, accidents at many sites." Compared fo other rural sections of the county, the Yucaipa area appears to be "fairly safe," statistics compiled by Parmenter showed. These statistics showed that only three intersections in Yucaipa, all along Yucaipa Boulevard, recorded three or more accident during the period running from March 1965 through February 1966. Heading the parade with five accidents was the intersection of Yucaipa Boulevard and 2nd Street, which had a four-way stop sign system.

Second highest was the intersection of 3rd Street and Yucaipa Boulevard, which had stop signs only for motorists coming on fo Yucaipa Boulevard from 3rd Street. Four accidents were recorded there during the year. The only other Yucaipa intersection with Ihree or more traffic accidents was 7th Street at Yucaipa Boulevard, another intersection where stop signs were limited to traffic coming along 7th Street. Three accidents occurred there during the year, Parmenter's statistics showed. experience still more in his business when he returns.

According to Swanson, taxidermy is a mysterious art known by few men and looked upon by royalty, presidents, Dakota ranch owned by their father gave them experience that has stood them well in this field.
