The main area of discussion during the meeting concerned the purchase of American vs foreign made materials. Major items included pianos and tires. The board had put out bids for two large grand pianos, one for Granger High School and one for Churchill Jr. SHigh School The following were the prices received: 2 large grand pianos - 63" - 7 ebony black, with bench, truck and cover, complete with 2 tunings during the first year $3,875 00 6H' Steinway Daynes Music Co Baldwin TO" 3,235 00 Clark Music Co.

Yamaha 6'7 2,000.00 Ralph Barrus Co. 4, The staff, over Dr O. C England's signature recommended buying the two Yamahas. Mrs. Howard B. Summerhays objected on the grounds that the board should buy demestic products whenever possible. The matter was tabled for further study. The Yamaha is a Japanese produced instrument. Also at issue were 8 truck tires and tubes. The board had recommended purchase of these from the J. W. Brewer Tire Co. at $108.70 for Michehn tires. These are also foreip made, and were ta91ed to see if a wire cored domestic tire is available. The board doesn't always take the low st bid for every item. If it feels there are quality differences, and that one product might be less expensive in the long run because of higher uurability or suitability to a particular purpose, they might pass up the low bid. Several members of the board have tried to instigate a system of purchasing to exact specifications rather than by brand Foremost in 'this effort is Dr. Jay O. Brinton, who has pushed the cause from buses to pianos. In the bidding for 15 upright pianos the following bids were Mrs. Clyde Larsen outfits her nine children compliments of Bakers Shoes in the Cottonwood Mall.

Sterling G. Webber, 4693 So. 2110 East, presented the planning commission August 13 with a request that the prop- erty located between Walker Lane and Highland Dr. be changed from' strictly residential to commercial zoning. But the planning commission rebuffed Mr. Webbers request. "H is recommended that this application be denied. Commercial zoning should be confined to the corner of the intersection presently zoned commercial . . . once it Is zoned business, the entire Highland Drive will go into the planning strip zoning, commission reasoned. Mr. Richard D. Hess, 1918 Lakewood, was present at the meeting and stated that he had talked to a number of people in the area, some who could not attend this meeting, and said that most of those residents he talked to were op posed to commercial zoning down Highland Drive It would deflate the value of property in ths area, he said. Mr. Phil Bullen, 2050 Walker Lane, asked what the master plan contained for the area between 4800 and 6200 South. Mr. Campbell explained that the master plan was not specific, but that part of that area is designed to be residential. Mr. Campbell further explained that an area must have the services it needs, and the zoning ordinance is ths tool which will help implement the plan. The planning commission further recommended . that the property in question could be economically developed for two - family residential purposes which would be more compatible with the rest of the neighborhood. "Due to the isolated nature of the property, some special consideration may be necessary in developing the property for the above recom-ende- d use, the commission stated. h.ne gradually .slipped away i m hollering our late President - Franklin Delano Roosevelt mir purpose is to reminisce, at least for one day dining the year, and honor this great and wonderful mail ho accomplished so much for this nation and its people and. at the same time, tie it in with our annual affan ." 1 fund-raisi- It was also announced that this year's featured speaker would be United States Senator Ralph W Yarborough (Dem Texas), a cl vse associate of President Lyndon B Johnson Senator Yarborough has long been rioted as an avowed champion of this country's war veterans and has attuned much in notable veterans' legislation Black said that aone-doll- ar donation for adults would entitle tiie ticketholdcr an opportunity to win a 1965 Ford Mustang sedan plus many other prizes, including television on Saturday, and, with tree parking, were looking for an exceptionally large turnout," Black said Tm sure Senator Yarborough's message will be inspiring and certainly afford interest for all of our citizens - not just Democrats alone."
