“Van Zandt County people,
generally speaking, seem to
be pleased with the service
that Jordan Ambulance
Company has provided during
the past year”, County Judge
Richard Ray stated
Wednesday afternoon.
Mr. Ray stated that his
remarks were not to indicate
that there had been no reports
of dissatisfaction with the
service. He made reference to
a community meeting held at
the courthouse in Canton in
summer that was called by
the Jordan Company in order
to give the citizens a chance to
air their problems. A
representation of people
appeared for the meeting;
however, out of the meeting
came some understanding on
the part of the people and the
ambulance company of

October is the month for
renewing subscriptions.
Judge Ray stated that it is his
understanding the Jordan
Ambulance Company will
send reminder letters to all
subscribers early in October.
Since Jordan Company has
not announced that it intends
to increase the subscription
fees, it is anticipated that they
will remain the same as last
year, $15 for individuals and
$25 for families.

and Mr. Marvin viewed the
time, money and dedication new Ford models,
had been expended by the
board of trustees and the staff
toward achieving educational
goals. Just as obvious,
however, was the fact that
many serious deficiencies still
existed, and that conditions
indeed did not provide the
best possible educational
opportunities for the children
in the Canton Public Schools”,
the report concluded.
Recommendation made by
the TEA team read as
follows: “It is recommended
that the Canton Independent
School District be advised
that the accreditation
standards are not being fully
met for grades kindergarten
through twelve.”
“This is the way the report
reads’*, Mr. Hilliard
concluded, "and one has only
to look at the accreditation
report to see that it is
imperative to pass the bond
issue. If people will search
their conscience, leave
grudges aside and think of the
children, we believe they will
see fit to approve the bond.”

BOND PASSAGE

in our present situation and
still be accredited every year.
We are being watched by the
state, and expected to correct
these problems in a given
time.
"Unless we pass the
proposed bond, our children’s
education will continue to
suffer, and we will be turning
out more and more students
with an inferior education. It
is impossible for our teachers
to teach efficiently such
overloaded classes, therefore
our children are paying the
penalty”, Mr. Hilliard stated.
In discussing the situation
with Mr. Hilliard, he listed the
problems that have not been
cleared up, and an
explanation of each.
Adequate health services
were not provided by the
district. This problem is due
to lack of space and lack of
money. "If we hired a nurse,
we would have no money to
pay her, and if we had the
money, we would have no
space for the clinic or office,”
he stated.
Special Education was not
provided for those students
needing this type of
instruction Special Education
now comes under the Plan A
Co-operative program. These
students are now being bused
to Van Independent School
where facilities were
provided.
Planned instruction for
physical education had not
been developed for grades
K 5. Some work has been done
on the program, the president
stated, but we’ve done all we
can until more facilities and
money can be obtained.
Nine classroom overloads
existed in the Junior High
School. This is still a problem
in every room in the Junior
High building with no
anticipation of alleviating the
problem since every available
room is in use.
Sufficient science
laboratories were not
provided in the High School.
Presently there is only one lab
in the high school to
accomodate about 16 sections.
This too is impossible to
correct, Mr. Hilliard said,
since every room is being
utilized.
The high school library was
being used as a study hall four
periods a day. TEA
recommends separate library
and study hall for high school
students; however lack of
space makes it impossible for
CHS.
"The district is to be
commended for the progress
that has been made since the
1973 visit,” the report read.
“It was obvious to the visiting
team that a great deal of
