Egan did indicate to Pierson
that he planned to request th:1t
legislature vote general
obligation bonds for improve-
ments which might jncl ude a
high school for this area ev-
but offer no
other encouragement:
Pierson flelt that the only
for a school lay in a
bill from the floor of the
legislature. He reported
that a meeting with Represen-
tative Bruce Kendall indicated
that Kendall still intends to
champion the OCHS cause, and
has mapped several plans to
bring this about.

ornian, I especially missed
having growing things around me
all year, and I kno,., nvthing
about growing flmV"ers indoors.
I truly believe your. readers
\V'Ould appreciate tips on house
plants. types grow best
lndoors, now latge a plant they
will be, and especially how to
start and care for slips.
To me and to others I
talked to i t really is a blow
to have a house plant turn up
its toes and die for no apparent
reason--other than lack of
knowledge.
Here is one tip others might
enjoy To give color to my
plants, I bouggh some of those
bright colored artificial bi.tds
that look rea. I perched them
on and around the plants. Now
the non-blooming season.
I still have color and it gives
me a lift each time I look at
them."
