CROSBY (Sp) - After
.lengthy executive session,
Crosby trustees turned down L.“Canady, did not meet .the
recommendations to reassign
Intermediate School Principal
John Canady as Director of
Instruction and Special Services
Since Canady would not be
vacating hjs position, that made
another of Supt. Tom Miksch’s
recommendations moot.
Curriculum Supervisor Phyllis
Ryland had been suggested for
the principal’s job at the in-
termediate school.
The vote on Canady’s reassign-
ment never came to a head.
Trustee Jake McAllister noted
Dr. Canady did not have five
years, administrative experi-
ence, as stipulated in the policy
book.
The board then tied 3 to 3
against suspending the rules.
Trustee Rudy Sikora was absent,

The GNP, which measures fee
total output of goods and ser-
vices in fee economy, crossed
the $1 trillion mark in 1971, so it
took just seven years to double
total output in dollar terms.
However, much of the in-
crease results more from fee
effect of inflation than from real
production gains. After dis-
counting for inflation, the GNP
in the second quarter was $1.38
trillion.
Mrs. Kreps said feat when fee
results of the first two quarters
are combined, it shows fee

of 3.6 percent and inflation was
