pursuit plane which used to be so much faster than the slow bomber that 1t could easily outmaneuver 1t and attack from its blind spot. This advantage no longer exists be- cause the modern bomber is so fast that it can not be outmanoeuvred, and secondly because it is so heav- fly armed that it can easily fight of all attacks by smaller planes in the manner of battleship repelling a destroyer. The small pursuit plane, however, will probably be used -ir the future as an auxiliary to the bombers instead of 8 weapon against them and would precede them in raid, at a lower altude, to attack and confuse by machine gun fire the enemy ground defenSes such as anti-a1rcraft batteries and search lights. Secondly anti-aircraft fire which, although 1t has been great ly improved since the war, has not kept up with the amazing develop ment of it's offensive rival. In fact, anti-aircraft fire, while decidedly dangerous at 5000 feet, ceases to be great hazard at 12,000 feet where the average error is increased four times or from 18,000 feet where 1t is nine times as great. Above this height the danger is negligible. On the other hand, the rate of error of bombing has only increased three or four times over that attempted from 5000 feet. So 1t may be seen that the laws of mathematics are decidedly upon the side of the at- tackers.
 This gives some faint idea of the threat of aerial bombardment, and may the reader never be awakened during some cold, inoonlit, winters night by the scream of sirens, the thud of anti-aircraft guns, the flashing of distant searchlights, and the faintly heard throbbing of mo- tors far overhead, which will quick ly be followed by crashing detona- tions, flames reaching to the skies. and chaos.

A really worthwhile program which should De on your regular listening list is Five Star Final, the perfectly produced broadcast of dramatized news events. It is brought to Waterbury listeners Monday through Friday at 6:30 and. on Sunday nights at 700 through WATR'S afflliation with the Intercity Broadcasting Sys- tenn. Hours of preparation go into this complicated broadcast, and as many times as I've heard 1t, I've never known the cast or production crew to make a slip. Personally I've never seen so nucl, drama and human, interest packed into the short space of fifteen minutes as Five Star Final can boast of. It makes nice listening.

ed at places where six or more pu- pills reside, in order that residents 1 in districts adjacent to incorpor- ated cities may not have the right, which they now have, of demand ing the establishment of special schools in lieu of transportation. Bus Elimination
 In proposing the elimination of transportation of students, the Board declared such action adviS- able because of steadily mounting costs of the service, in some in- stances to over-burdening propor- tions, and cited cases where the cost amounts to $130 per day and is likely to increase. The Board also declared that under the pres ent set-up the costs of education are not fairly distributed, those per sons living nearby to incorporated cities having their children trans ported to the cities and educated therein, without bearing an equal share of the costs.
 Colony Suggestions
 The Board also recommended that the laws of Alaska be amended to permit the formation of two in- corporated school districts in the Matanuska Valley. and. until such oo+;ox- ,lo,,15 >o foEac ornotaI tho Palmer School District, and pro- vided that it be governed by three agents, instead of one in other ru- ral schools, and appointed the nom- inees of the Alaska Rural Reha- bilitation Corporation, Don Irwin, Robert Higginbotham, and A. A. Johnson. as the first Committee of Agents for the Palmer School District.
 For Rural Districts
 The Board also amended it's rules and Regulations so that three agents, instead of one, may be ap- pointed for rural or village schools having 250 or more pupils, and that such committees when ap- pointed shall have the additional power of selecting teachers, subject to approval of the Board of Edu- cation.
 Authorization was voted by the Board for the expenditure of not more than S1 1,200 from the Special School fund assisting the com munity of Kasilof in constructing a school building; and that the Hoonah school be discontinued af- ter the present year.

MAJOR KEATINCE. INVITES ALASKA I Q 1889 F AIR
Representative of San Fran cisco's Exposition Ad-
 dresses Legislature

Representing the 1889 Interna- tional Exposition to be held at San Francisco, Major O. J. Keatinge Executive officer of the exposition, addressed members of both houses in the house chambers this after noon, and invited the Territory of Alaska to participate with an ex- hibit at the Exposition.
 When questioned following his talk. by Representatives Coffey and Nerland as to the probable cost of an exhibit Major Keatinge, ex- plained that the cost of floor space in the Western States Building had been set at $500 a square foot and that he believed Alaska should have at least 200 square feet, and that from past experience he believed the exhibits and maintenance of them would run from S9 to $10 foot. The Major estimated mini mum of $35,000 for an exhibit for ten months duration of the expo- sition.
 In explaining the advertising value of an exhibit and numbers of people it reached, Major Kea- tinge said that 22,000,000 paid ad- missions had been received by the Chicago Fair in one year, and that three and quarter million peo- pie lived within three hours ride of Chicago.
 With three million people living within two hours of Chicago, the Major said experts had estimated an attendance of 18,000,000 for the San Francisco Exposition.
 Eleven western states now have bills pending for participation in the Exposition, the speaker said.
 Al. idea of the size of the pro- ject is gained by the Majors state ments that the Federal Govern ment through relief projects has already spent S400o,ooo on the pro- ject and will spend s2,500O 900 more, to complete the 400 acre island which is being built on Yerba Buena shoals adjoining the Island in San Francisco bay recently joined with the mainland by the new bridge.
 The importance of tourists as a business was told the legislators by the Major, who used Norway as an example where in twenty-five years it has grown to major industry and in addition many who came as tour ists invested capital in the resourc- es of the country s
 From his observations while trav- cling throughout the world Maiol Keatinge concluded with the state ment that the old slogan Business Follows the Flag" should be chang. ed to Business follows the tourist.

 After recommending to the Leg islature the appropriation of Sl0,500, estimated as necessary for the car rying out of the provisions of the vocational education act up until June 30, 1937, and the termination of vocational education after that date, the Board voted approval of the way A.
