special committee Of experts now

The five-man committee, headed by
Rear Admiral Arthur Hepburn, is
Fastening its Investigations so as to
have comprehensive report ready for
Congress in January. The group now
is in Puerto Rico.

the Navy has only fleet air base at
Sitka, and a more extensive series Of
bases in Northwestern territory is con-
templated.
The investigating board was ap-
pointed by Secretary Of the Navy

a committee of at least five officers

bases.
The committee met first on July IS

cling to obtain a naval air base in their
territory for some time. However,
the special committee is taking into
consideration the fact that there are
several Army air bases in that region

The Death OF Phil Herold

The death of Phil Herold has taken from the city,
one of it's important cogs.
1t is regrettabe that one whose interests and abll,
ties have been so closely linked with the progress OF
the community for almost forty years should be taken
Sc untmely, but that is the way of life.
The will of the Creator is often unexplanabe, and
highly mystifying. It is not our province to ques-
tion, but to accept.
We are grateful that we have been privileged to
have within our midst and to call friend, man
of the high cahber Of Mr. Herold No man was more
conscientious, or more painstaking in the perform
ance of that which he believed to be his duty than
Phil Herold
A valuable asset has been taken from the social
commercial and civic life of the community one that
cannot be replaced Deep as our sorrow that he has
suddenly been removed from our midst cannot
refrain from expressing appreciation that No.
gales was fortunate in having him choose it as his
home. The city will long cherish his memory.

ticket, r. I. Frazier would be on the list
Mr.. Frazier is candidate for reelection to the Of
flee of county supervisor in District No. and it is
our opinion that he is unbeatable at the general cleo
ton week from next Tuesday.
MIR. Frazier's tremendous popularity makes him
formidable candidate each time he seeks reelection
and III addition to that he has given and is giving
the taxpayers service.

Of letters that pours into Goodyear's
Akron offices.
"At this season of year, when high
ways are hot, there is more danger
of blowout than in colder weather,
because heat is the enemy of tire
life. Tires that are worn are more
susceptible to failure than are new
tires, especially when they are driv-
en- at high speeds over the hot roads
of summer.
Vacation time finds many cars
on the road, and finds many of them
going fast, in order to get to the
destination. A tire failure at this
sped can easily mean a limetime of
regret-particularly if the motorist
realizes that there is a safety de-
vice available that would take the
danger out of such tire failure.
