The Jackson Sun from Jackson, Tennessee • 1

4A The Jackson Sun, Jackson, Tennessee, Tuesday, September 1 6, 1980 Serene streets bel ie what's happening to the alma mater now in 1941; the slogan was "The end is not yet." Scanning the faces, one can spy a youthful Fred Standley, superintendent of Jackson City Schools, in the class of '39. Standley says he remembers the school as typical of the West Tennessee educational facilities of that After the school was closed two weeks ago by Ed Black, chairman of one of Maury City's two school boards, the other board authorized re-opening. The state department of education says the courts will have to decide which board will be legally recognized. Meanwhile, the state continues to withhold funds to the school system until the school is brought up to certain standards standards which Greer says aren't met by a lot of other West Tennessee schools he's seen. IN THE auditorium, all is quiet, observed only by the framed photo composites of senior classes hanging around the walls.

The earliest-grouping is from 1928, when 14 young men and women were sent out into the world from Maury City School, the first high school established in Crockett County. Class mottoes seem to reflect from page 1A principal Larry Greer says a representative of the Tennessee Education Association has assured the faculty that we are here and having school, we'll get paid." SO THEY are here and having school. Greer lives in Jackson and commutes to Maury City, so he does not feel qualified to comment on the climate of that town, but he does know from the attitudes of his students and what he hears that the school issue has the town divided. Twenty-three teachers are on the payroll to teach grades 4-12 at the school, and most of them come from the immediate area, he says. That makes the school one of the town's largest employers.

"The kids are concerned" that they might lose their school, he says. uay. BUT HE HAS "no emotional attachment that would color my thinking," he adds. "I agree with the stand Commissioner (Ed) Cox took that if they want to come up with the money for their own school, it is entirely a local decision." Standley says Maury City is "apparently at an impasse on how to determine the will of the people. But if the majority wants a local school, that's the decision they should make.

And if the majority wants consolidation, that's the way they should go." -'Hi v.

The Illinois congressman said, "The more I become acquainted with the views that he is espousing in this campaign as they relate to family issues, I think his thinking is all too typical of a kind of vintage thinking that simply believes we can go back to some previous period in our history and find answers to the kind of problems that, face the American family, that face us in energy." REAGAN ALSO campaigned in Texas on Monday, after taking his from page 1 A under wraps, Carter said. "He's not having meetings like this. He's not having press conferences anymore because when he has spoken on bis own the last few days he's gotten himself in trouble. "Well, the point is," Carter added, "when you're in the White House, in the Oval Office, as president you've got to be able to respond accurately in a way that doesn't embarrass you personally and does not embarrass our nation."

1 "I believe spring starts March 21, is that what you're saying?" asked Parham. 4 Tommy Allen, a neighboring property owner, protested that the gardens were "deplorable" and claimed owners had "reneged on the original agreement." ROBERT ALDERSON, an attorney representing Union University, said the college had no specific recommendations on the latest Vann Gardens dispute, but said officials were only concerned about commercial development in that area. i 1 A rezoning petition to zone 5 acres on the corner of U.S. 45 Bypass and Country Club Lane, adjoining Vann Gardens, was tabled by the Jackson Regional Planning Commission in June because of a legal dispute over that part of the Vann property. Richard Cantrell, a developer, had asked that it be rezoned for a convenience store, but he withdrew his request temporarily because James Vann, one of the heirs to the state, had asked Madison County Chancery Court to decide who had rights to the property.

from page 1 A property from Gardens Limited, over who has responsibility for the maintenance of the gardens which were developed in the 1930s by the late flower-fancier, J. Randall Vann, Wallis said. Bill Brown, who represented Mrs. Labry and Eastin before the board, contended that his. clients "fully intend" to keep up the gardens.

He said neglect of the gardens in the time between Vann's death and the new ownership had posed a problem in trying to catch up on maintenance work. He also said the weather this summer had been a factor in damaging some of the plants. Whalley told the board that the owners would see that a gravel parking lot, as requested by the historic zoning board, would be constructed immediately, but cautioned that bad weather could prevent construction till spring.

The Jackson-Madison County Ambulance Authority made the request in order; to replace a vehicle destroyed by fire last month. Harvey Thompson, director of the ambulance authority, said the group is still working on a settlement with the insurance company for recovery costs on the vehicle, which will be used to cover the capital outlay note.

Thompson first said the ambulance authority could get a vehicle from a Memphis dealer for about $25,000, but the commission stipulated in the resolution for the note that the authority take bids on ambulances first. Commissioners also heard a report from the county recreation director, Pugh Bourne, updating the county's proposed two new parks. Bourne said the recreation board has a conditional contract to purchase a 97-acre tract near the Oakfield community for an acre and a 68-acre site at $1,330 an acre on the U.S. 45 at Old Pinson Road. A grant application for the two parks is to be submitted in November and the1 county should have a confirmation or rejection of the grant by December, Bourne said.

The commission approved a recommendation by. the county highway commission to be allowed to open up an alley adjoining a building to be used as a firehouse in Mercer. The cost of the construction, which would be taken from the highway department budget, is about $1,000, said highway chairman William Shelton. Shelton said the Ruritan Club had arranged for the building to be used to house firefighting equipment if the alley could be reopened. On another matter, Shelton said the highway department did not feel its property at the county penal farm could be used as a dumpster site for the Madison County solid waste program.
