not seek'
re-election
Chairman of the Huron
• County Board of Education,
John ,avis, announced Monday
evening in Clinton he would not
be a candidate for the 1971-72
term of office.
"I decided to make 'my
intentions ' known before the
municipal elections;" stated
Lavis. "I • am this year
completing 18 years as a school
board member. I know I will'
miss, air the associations, with .the
work that has become a part of
mY life."
No other board member
accepted Mr. Levis' invitation to•
declare his or her intentions for
the coming school -board
nominations.
Max Malpass, reporting on the
caretaking supply tenders, said
' the saving this yearwould be "in,
the thousands of dollars".
"I'd be quite interested to
know exactly how many
thousands," said Chairman
Lavis. "This is one area a
county board of education .can
justify its,]existence --- by
purchasing in' quantity."
