The average size of elementary classes in the district is 23.55 students. Last year's average was 24.87 students. The averages don't reflect the real problem, though, said Condie. The difficulty lies in 34 She said those large classes. UEA is calling on the legislature ar to begin a program of reducing the size of classes.

Checks and balances are a very important part of our political system. Sheriff Wright, being a duly elected county official, is expected by the voters to work with the other elected officials. Antagonism is not one of Com- missioner Black's qualities. card I threw away my could I from you thinking maybe live without the San Juan Record, but Doris Valle changed my mind. I know the man.

We talked to lots of people on our trip and liked the area but it seemed people who live there complain about the cold, cold winter.

We did not go into any aborigine villages, but from a distance I could see that their lifestyle was rather foreign to anything we had seen up to that point. We visited shops in a small village where there were displays of various things.
