QV Board Approves RooiC, Bus Fare Bids
Discussion of tiie planned school complex in Bell Acres monopolized the time at the September 23 Quaker Valley School Board meeting and, consequently, the coverage of that meeting in the October 1st “Herald”. dealt entirely with that matter. However, there were other items on the agenda which were disposed of by the Board on that evening.
A low bid of $3,357.00 to All State, McKees Rocks, for roofing repairs was awarded. It was reported that sixty-seven Quaker Valley students were attending the Parkway West Technical School, five over the quota allotted to Quaker Valley.

elly Urges Intelligent ilvaluation of Candidate
g. Jim Kelly, State Legislative candidate in je 28th District, made the following gemarks at a recent meeting:
^ ‘I want to leave you with some ideas to consider before selecting your candidate Nov. 3.
I First, of primary importance is the lake-up of the candidate himself. At a |ime when the words “Credibility Gap” are ommonly used in application to political Candidates, one must be sure the man he she votes for is in tune with the issues, nd the office he is seeking — either Ihrough education, experience, Dackground or sheer personal sensitivity a his constituents — a quality better lefined as empathy ...
I Secondly, you the voter must decide vhether the philosophy of the candidate is |onsistent with that of his party, and vhether he will be the most effective in-lividual in the position within that party’s

„ Walter S. Novak, Democratic candidate for the 28th Legislative seat, is seeking the gupport of all voters who want to be 1‘epresented ay a locally-backed epresentative.
He cohtends that the District is not for Sale as indicated by his opponent who llient $17,000 in the primary and appears to ’ 16 willing to spend even more to assure pimself the seat.
I the cross-party support that he has received makes him feel optimistic about |is success in the November 3 election, j Novak has stated that he would faVor the jreation of a special Consumers Protec-Joft Office that would represent the geheral public when insurance Companies |nd public utilities ask for rate increa^s.
[le feels that the biggest bite oil the dollar ,oday is not increased taxes but the con-[inuously increasing cost of the utilities.
■	phUosophical context. As a good example, there is in my book a great difference between Conservativism of a constructive nature and obstructionism which is often obscured by a conservative label. You and I both know our state is shot full with problems, and we know it is going to take money to solve many of those problems. We cannot, as many members of the Legislatbre have done, continue to vote against every revenue raising and appropriation bill. Problems of drugs, the environment, transportation, welfare, et al will not disappear under such m9tions. Rather we must strike a balance, arid that is the politician’s supreme responsibility. With candor and sincerity,, the representative must keep his constituents reliably informed of the state’s condition while consulting with them in seeking solutions. And so it is that I have developed my feeling for the Republican party. The Republican party stands as ready to face these social ills as the Democratic party — but we want to know beforehand what the price tag will be. Perhaps Secretary of Defense Laird put it better? “Fly before you buy” - something which I hope to help the Pennsylvania Legislature does in its next session.
/old so, the reasons why I run for the Legislature — political shenanigans practiced by many legislators, obstructionism practiced by some legislators and political smoke screens posed by the Democratic majority who left us with the stop-gap appropriations which plague us
—	these are the things I will fight — with your support.”
