Slater said a campaign for an August election would not have been easy, but he said he thought people would support the issue if they had an accounting for how the money was to be used each year. The advantage of approving a levy in an August election is that the district would have begun collecting the money in January 1991. If the board waits until November, and the issue fails, the earliest collection for a subsequent request would not begin until later in 1991. Dissenting votes on the levy issue were cast by members Joan Thompson and George Alamanteoff.
"The voters are telling us we must make cuts," Alamanteoff said, telling a packed room that he voted for things Monday night with which he didn't feel comfortable. In February, the board failed to put the issue on the May primary ballot in a confusing session that ended with fewer than the mandatory 75 percent of board members voting for the issue. An income tax issue on the November 1989 ballot was soundly defeated. The last tax measure approved by district voters was in May 1985, when a 9-mill property tax was passed. The board considered, item-byitem, a long list of cuts.
Those and the savings they will generate include: junior high school assistant principal and a high school athletic principal; $110,000. Switch to all-day, every-other-day kindergarten, $30,000. Reductions in busing that will cut two to three morning and afternoon routes, $12,000. Frank C. Dorner MANSFIELD Frank C.

The board decided not to institute a pay-to-participate policy for students involved in extracurricular activities such as athletics, band and other clubs. "It will lead to discrimination against the kids who can't afford it," Slater said. The board also decided not to cut outdoor education, summer recreation, safety town and two library aides. In other business, the board: Accepted the resignations of Sally Bushman, who has taught in the district for 32 years, and Barbara Radabaugh, who has taught in the district for 30 years.

(AP) A fire broke out early today aboard the guided-missile destroyer USS Conyngham about 80 miles off North Carolina, killing a crew member and injuring at least nine others, the Navy said. Five of the sailors had injuries serious enough to require evacuation, said Capt. Paul Hanley, a U.S. Atlantic Fleet spokesman. Three were flown to the nearby guided-missile cruiser USS Normandy and two brought to shore, he said.
The Conyngham was conducting routine operations with about 360 crew members when the fire broke out at 5:35 a.m. in the ship's engineering area, officials said. Fleet spokesmen had no information on the extent of the blaze or damage to the ship. Hanley said three Coast Guard STOP DREAMING. START SOLID PINE TELEPHONE DESK Great for storage and messages.

cutters were standing by along with the Normandy and the destroyer USS Briscoe as the Conyngham crew fought the blaze. "The cause of the fire is unknown at this time. The primary fire is out. The crew is fighting secondary fires," Air Force Maj. Tom Johnson, joint duty officer at the Norfolk naval base, said at mid-morning.
Hanley said the ship was able to move under its own power toward port at about 3 mph. The 437-foot ship, commissioned in 1963, has two five-inch guns, torpedoes and a number of surface-tosurface missiles, Hanley said. "Obviously when you have a fire at sea, one of the first issues that the crew addresses is the security of the magazines," where the ammunition is stored, he said. 3 WEEKS ONLY OFF PENNSYLVANIA HOUSE FURNITURE.
