BIGGER A|RPORTS.'
URGED IN STATE
Virginia Aviation Division
for Transport Stops
in Future.
1y the Associated Press.

RICHMOND. Va. Sept. 24-Future
needs for more extensive airport
fields-to provide for transport stops
as well as stops for an interstate
shuttle" system-constitute q major
consideration in plans Of the aviation
division Of the State Corporation Com
mission, r. Z. Steele. State director,
said today.
At present. Mr.. Steele said, the d.
vision is planning fields for transport
stops at Danville and ut Winchester.
The field At Danville. with prospects
Of being used as . port on 4 main
north and south line. Is not large
enough now for such use, but it can
be extended. Winchester has recently
built new airport, which also is cap
able Of being made more extensive for
use as q stop on the West East route
connecting with Washington.
Both Roanoke and Lynchburg were
described by Mr.. Steele Is logical
transport stops" and both fields can
be made more extensive at the present
locations to meet requirements for
larger ships
New Norfolk Field Large.
The new Norfolk field, now under
construction, will be large enough to
care for the larger type of planes,
while the Newport News field also can
be made larger.
Rapid development of big planes
for transport service has made the
larger landing fields necessary. In this
respect. airports are built but never
completed" Mr.. Steele said, since con-
slant improvements are necessary.
When the "saturation" point Is
reached in the building of airports in
the State, Mr.. Steele said, the division
will have much work to do in con-
stantly improving the fields At pres
ent, Virginia has in service IS COM
mercial fields, either municipality or
privately owned: four service fields,
and seven Department of Commerce
fields, total Of IS: Other fields are
partially completed at Bedford. Co.
lonial Beach, Gloucester Courthouse
and at Harcum. in Gloucester County.
A field at Richlands is unlicensed but
the division hopes the town may take
over the port. Plans are also being
considered for . field at Charlottes
vile.
2S3 Pilots Licensed.
The State has 253 licensed pilots
$50 student pilots and so licensed
mechanics, making a total of 663
licenses now in force. There are l65
licensed planes in the State.
Virginia has IAN exceptionally fine
record" in the matter of accidents. Mr..
Steele said. "As far as I know" he
added. there hasn't been an accident
involving fatality to a passenger dur
ing the last two years" or since active
enforcement Of aviation regulations
by his division.
After more funds are collected. the
Aviation Division will aid in the con-
struction OF private as well as munici-
pal nelds. The division has the du-
ties OF promoting aviation, construct
ing and maintaining air fields, SUPER
Vlsing air markings, and enforcing
regulatory measures, including the
licensing OF pilots, ships and airports.

Farmers To Be Given
Potato Acreage Goals

1t was announced yesterday by
County Agent Waldo w. Skuse that
all farmers having a normal &C
reage of three or more acres of
potatoes would be given a goal"
as to the number of acres that
they could grow in 1888 and quail
ify for payments as part of the
1888 program. The average produc-
ton for the county is 5.37 tons per
acre. This gives each grower $7.16
an acre for each acre of his goal.
If he exceeds his goal, deduction
of ten times the acre rate would
be made against any possible pay
ment he would receive.
The total goal for the county is
1898 acres, which is to be the sum
of the individual goals. The exact
reduction this will represent from
normal acreages will soon be known,
but for those desiring to plant po-
tatoes right away and still play
safe as TO possible compliance with
the conservation program, Mr.
Skuse suggests that they do not
plant over eighty per cent of their
normal acreage.

wide project to provide employment

lunches for needy Or undernour-
ished children in public schools, has

dent Roosevelt and now awaits re-
view by the comptroller general
Hot lunches had been provided
in the local schools during the win
ter time by the WPA, through the
cooperation of the White Bluffs
Woman's club and the Hanford
P.T.A., but were discontinued sew
eral weeks ago because of lack Of
funds.

Directors
ToBe Named
On Saturday
Interest High In White
Bluffs Race; Candi-
dates Issue Statements

Residents of the Priest Rapids
valley will go to the polls Saturday
afternoon, March 5, to select one
director for three-year term in
the Hanford and White Bluffs dis
tricts, and two directors in the
Vernita district.
At White Bluffs, where the com
ing election has aroused more lrss
terest than amy held in recent
years, G. I. Wright, incumbent dir
ector, and Mrs. I. B. Burns are OPP
posing candidates for the position
Only registered voters may cast
{, ballot in this district, which is
q second-c class district.
At Hanford, Frank Clark, who
was appointed last fall to fill out
the unexpired term of G. F. Woot-
en-, who had moved to Spokane,
mas filed for election, and so far
as is known, faces no opposition.
In the Vernita district, the terms
of both G.. L. MCGEE and Earle
Knaub have expired. Mr.. MCGEE is
the only candidate to file for office
IN this district.
The two candidates for the White
Bluffs position have issued state
ments concerning their stand on
the question of moving the grade
school away from the district,
which has become the prime issue
of the campaign. They are:
C. I. Wright: Il intend to do
everything in my power to keep the
grade school in this district. I have
lived in White Bluffs for 40 or SO
years, and / am certainly not going
to do anything which would be
detrimental to this community"
Mrs. I. b. Burns: II believe the
true facts should be given to the
people, and the board should abide
by their decision. At the present
time, few if any of the patrons in
the district now what the facts
concerning our schools are. When
we have learned them, then will
be the time to act.
'Those who say not to move the
school should say how we can have
better instruction and better and
healthier housing conditions and
equipment. We should not confuse
real estate values and the cost OF
education with the opportunity foa
the education and training of our
youth.
"The question of our schools
should be decided by the people
after all the facts are known, and
not before"
