 Bethany Job Discussed
 There is much discussion of the present project at Bethany air- port, especially among democrats It is an EZRA project and al- though Chris Groh has asumed TO. for it, many demo. crats claim 1t is not beneficial to the town.
 Opponents of the project say that tho company which owns the field and to which the town which ig now leasing it will undoubted ly turn it back later, will be tho main benefnctor. This road ran across the field and presented an ombstacle to planes landing there making landing more treacheroua The work is to do away with this road and place . road farther north.
 It is claimed by opponents tha, it would be of much more benefit to the town to have the TERA men working on some local prof. ect in the borough of which sev. eral have been proposed than do. ing this Bethany work. It is claimed by some that the borough is paying for trucks, which trans. port men and which are used there. And under this project Bethany men are also used. It ia felt that if the project wore in only local men would Dc employed.
 MT Groh thinks the town will benefit by 1t because, he says, it will make the field safer for land Ing, there will bo more planes land here, the airport will get the reputation of being 6 good place to stop off and the town, he claims, will benefit as 6 result. He said the plan not only has the approval of tho EZRA officials but also of Charles Morris, aviation commis- sioner.
 Police Start Cleanup
 The cleanup has started at police However this Is no political move. Painters working for the EZRA are varnishing up tho interior of the station and tho jail. They have put an attractive finish on the walls of tho station and the interior now looks quite well. At least persons who are forced through the hard rulings Of the law to spend the night can reflect that there are worse looking jails than this to be in.
