Its been a long dry summer, Dear Editor: In the San Juan Records recent article on the School Board proceedings you reported that I informed the Board as to the current status of the A building at San Juan High. I wish to make it very clear that I did not say word one during that discussion. When I interviewed with Superintendent Jensen for the position of business administrator for the District, I informed him at that time that moving the School District Office was a Board Decision and I would not get involved in life-givi- any discussion unless the Board requested specific information from me. I have been very careful to follow this policy. I would appreciate it if this misrepresentation of the School Board proceedings would be corrected.

Even before the rains, the weeds in the potato patch at The Manor had been a problem because that patch is watered by sprinklers, a good substitute for mother natures showers. McSlaw had kept the noxious invaders somewhat under control in that area, but all the Mcs together are unable to keep the s weeds under control in the alfalfa patch. From a distance the field looks a thing of beauty and lush once-famou- alfalfa growth. On closer inspection, however, one wonders about the great variety of plant life in that field, and its obvious that while alfalfa is still the main crop, its losing out to dandelions and pigweed. Weeds or no, weve had some welcome rains. Theres much beauty to behold and life is wonderful. Enjoy!

Still, considering some of the horrendous weather theyve had in other places, complaints about our lack of moisture seemed out of order. But what a welcome relief when the rains did come, soft and gentle yet lasting long enough to be beneficial. Fortunate indeed were those who had cut, baled, and hauled hay before the weather changed. Those wonderful showers even allowed some to turn off the sprinklers long enough to refill their reservoirs before they began the tedious water task again. But even those who had their hay down in the field, realized the value of the moisture we received. weeds appreThe ciated it too, and grew with a vengeance.
