PLANE TRAINING
 QUOTA DOUBLED
Three New England Boards Operating to Speed Ape
 pOintment of Men

The monthly quota of the New England's flying cadets has been in- creased from 70 to 14O, I1ieutenant- Colonel John L. Rice, corps area re- cruiting officer announced today.
 Training valued at $20.000 with a commission in the air corps reserve at the completion of the seven months training period will be given pilots. The increased enlistment doubles the number of New England young men.
 As the new quota goes into effect, three examining boards are in op- eration in New England to help speed the appointment of qualified young men. These boards conduct physical examinations for applicants who are unmarried citizens between their 20th and 27th birthdays.
 One examining board is at East Boston Airport. Candidates may se- cure application blanks from any Army Recruiting Station, and upon receipts of the applications. the board at East Boston will make an appointment with the candidate for physical examination within five days.
 Another examining board, set up last month. is at Westover Field in Chicopee. Massachusetts. Candidates for whom Westover Field is more convenient may submit their appli- cations to the Flying Cadet Board at Westover Field. An appointment will be made for them to take the physical examination.
 The third board operating in New England is the travelling Flying Cadet examining board. which visits various cities to conduct examina- tions. This board is different from the other two in that 1t examines only candidates who have completed at least two years of college educa- tion.
 No appointment is necessary to be examined by this Flying Cadet board. A candidate should bring his birth certificate, three letters of character recommendation, and written evidence that he has com pleted two years of college. On Tuesday and Wednesday, November l9 and 20, this travelling board will conduct examinations at the Post Office Building in Bridgeport, Con- necticut. On Tuesday and Wednes- day, November 26 and 27, the travel ing board will be at Burlington, Vermont. conducting examinations in the State Armory, corner of Maine and Champlain streets.
 This travelling Flying Cadet board which examines only men with two years of college. will also be at the Boston Army Base on Friday, Mo- vember 9, and Friday, November 29.
 All flying Cadet candidates must take the physical examination, and nearly half of those examined pass this test. If a candidate has had two years of college, he is exempt from further examination. Those who lack two years of college may take a written educational examination, the next of which is scheduled for February Il, l94l, at the Boston Army Base.

REPORT ON NEW
 TEACHER IS DUE
Committee Expected to Claim No Need for Same
 at School

The teachers committee of the Board of Education will report to- night that there is no need of an additional teacher in the third grade of Bunker Hill school, it was learned today. The committee in- vestigated overcrowding at the school by vote of the board at the last meeting.
 Republican members of the board urged the appointment of new teacher claiming that there are 46 pupils in the third grade of Bunker Hill. The committee is expected to report that although conditions are not utopian they are not so bad as described.
 The investigation was brought about about after a spirited session two weeks ago when the board trans ferred $4,700 from the teachers Sal- ary item to other appropriations by vote of 5 to 4. Republican mem bers took a united stand against the transfer, claiming the money could be used for new teacher.
