By Katoy McKlnary Despite concern thai hit Job will keep him from attending many of the Bloomington City Council meetings, Councilman Karl Passmore laid Monday that he wilj not resign that position. Passmore, who accepted a promotion to superintendent of carpenter! on the shift from 4 30 m.

to midnight at the Illinois Power Co. plant under construction near Clinton, said Monday that he hopes to be able to attend the twice-monthy regular sessions. The councilman, who Is in his second four-year term, said he had "made the decision I was going to resign, but (later! decided that, since there were only seven months left (before hit term expires), that I stick it out." The major influence on that decision, Passmore said, was the possibility that a replacement would be appointed. "I didn't think It was appropriate to give someone that kind of political advantage," he said. Passmore said earlier that he would not seek re-election In April, and affirmed that decision Monday.

"I don't think anyone should be in there more than two terms. And, I'd like Man injured in fall Lester Patterson, 69, of 717 Seventh St Hilltop Mobile Home Court, was injured Sunday when he fell at a Bloom-ington bakery where he is employed. Bloomington firemen said Patterson fell about 10 40 p.m. at the Cake Box Bakery, 511 Denver St. He was taken to Brokaw Hoaoital, where he was treated -A Mayor Richard Buchanan about hit resignation, and that the mayor had discussed It with the rest of the council.

The mayor and the council discussed the options If Passmore did resign, Buchanan said Monday. After consultation with the city'i corporation counsel, it was determined the council should not replace Passmore or have a special election, the mayor laid. "I didn't want to go through the appointment process again," Buchanan said. "And the majority of the council, three of four members, didn't want to make an appointment either. This close to the election, It would be almost like we were making an endorsement." The election is April 3, with candidates filing in December.

Buchanan said the one member of the council who did favor appointment did so "very reluctantly." The council also thought a special election only seven months from the regular election would be inappropriate. "The expense was out of the question," Buchanan said. A special election would cost about 87,500, the mayor said, and it was possible, if more than two persons filed as candidates, that a primary election would have to be conducted as well as a runoff election, thus doubling the cost. "At first, we thought Karl would not be able to attend any night meetings," Buchanan said. "While we were discussing the alternatives if he resigned, he found that he would be able to attend all.

"We decided it would be more desirable to have Karl stay on." Buchanan said Passmore's opposition to the appointment of a replacement councilman was not a deciding factor in the council's decision. "It just happened that Karl's concern and ours were in concert," the mayor said. Passmore has missed few meetings in 74 years on the council, Buchanan said, until now. "He has served faithfully for going on Pupils' drawings, essays tell need Man cut on head Vyron Olsen, 61. who listed his address with authorities as Home Sweet Home Mission, was listed in good condition Monday noon at Mennonite Hospital after an incident Saturday in the 500 block of North Main Street.

This does work some hardship (on the council), and no one realizes that more than Karl," the mayor said. "But, seven years of hard service is worth a little accommodation from the rest of the council." Passmore said he has missed three regular council meetings since he accepted the promotion. He said he plans to attend the Oct.

"This man gives money to the needy by giving to the United Fund," Rodney told his teacher. Joan Schapmire. "The needy are old people, crippled people, people with no homes." Another youngster who signs his work only as "Greg," put it this way in a pithy essay on United Way: "The United Fund (or United Way) is helping people.

"The nurse will also help the crippled man who has no home." The children were asked to come up with ways they can earn money to make their own personal contribution to this year's campaign.

Ideas ranged from mopping and washing the floor to waxing cars, mowing yards, babysitting, selling sugar drinks, raking leaves and "cleaning out the truck." In line with United Way's philosophy of consolidating many local fund-raisers into a single campaign, the United Way campaign is the only one in which the schools directly participate, said Glen Newton, Irving School principal and campaign chairman for schools in Bloomington. Newton said giving from children averages 25 to 35 cents a child. Last year, children in Bloomington schools gave $1,380. In her own little bit of promotion for the United Way campaign, little Julie Griffin drew a picture of two children standing under the banner of United Way. "You can help old people, crippled people, retarded people, babies, Scouts and Boy Scouts," she said.
