 Major McMuilen--"T think thA recommendations submitted by the New England Conference of Etats Aviation Officials as outlined ln your telegram of June 2S to the sec- retary of War are excellent, but ] am wondering how you expect the smaller communities to meet the economic problem of paying an air. port manager.

Boston, July i2-(speciaD -NeW England aviation officials have re. ceived the "go ahead" sign from Washington on their plan to pro- vide State machinery for the con. trol of noa-scheduled private flying during the emergency, Crocker Snow, Massachusetts Aeronautics Director and chairman of the New England Conference of State Avia- ton officials, revealed today.
 Snow released Q wire from Secre- tary of Commerce Jesse H. Jones which declared the Commerce De- partment was fully sympathetic with the plan. Also released were letters from Maj. A. B. McMullen. attached to the Army Air Corps Of- flee of Chief of Staif, and Rear Ad- Yniral John H. Towers, chief of the Navy Bureau of Aeronautics, regpec- lively describing the plan as ''excel- lent" and "a splendid example"
 The plan calls for the employment by every airport of a filll- time manager for the purpose of logging aircraft arrivals and departures and enforcing regulations. But initiative in establishing the plan is left to the various State aviation agencies.
 The proposal was formulated at g meeting of the New England Con- ference of State Aviation Officials in the offices of the New England Council June 26. Chairman Snow warned the meeting that there was imminent danger of 8 complete ban on no1-Schedule private flying for the duration of the emergency, be- cause of the difficulties of handling essential traffic and of enforcing measures against espionage from the air. He urged that the officials take steps to provide enforcement ma ctinery' through their state agencies In the interest both of defense and of protecting loyal private flyers.
 The text of the three messages follows:
 Secretary Jones "Retel June 25, Department of Commerce is fully sympathetic with recommendation of New England Conference of State Aviation Officials with respect to requiring supervision of airports and landing fields by airport man. ager licensed by state, maintenance of a log of all civil aircraft arrivals and departures and authorization of manager enforce local airport regulations not in conflict. with fed- erai civil air regulations Further suggest that recommendations

 l04O Valuations 9.7 Times
 Those Of 1884
 During i940, for the sixth sue. cessive year, value of new homes built In these cities increased over the preceding year. New houses put up last year, based on building per. inits filed in these BIO cities, were valued at $S37 ,556, ,236. This total was $3e ,ee2, ,42o or 40 per cent more than the 1889 valuation of $70s ,563, ,s07, and a per cent, or $247 BOT ,6s6, above the 1880 valuation of $569,- 74a,54S. Likewise, new home Valua. tions last year were l0.7 times their low level of s76,5o2,62i reached in 1884 And the le40 valuations, which were the highest in eleven years, amounted to 1s.7 per cent of the to- tal of $4,242,5s ,e99S for 1881 to 1s40, inclusive.
 "The BIO cities in this annual building survey had population of $47, ,l02, ,842, according to the final 1880 figure of the U. s. Census Bur- eau. These identical cities in i940, according to the same authority, had a population of 50,035,520. gain of 2,932, ,676, or 6.2 per cent, over the 1880 population. The present popu- lation of these cities is 38 per cent of the i31, ,669, ,275 population for the nation in i940. New homes put up in these same cities from 1881 to 194o. inclusive. provided shelter for 4,436 8s4 people"
 Small Per Cent Of Dwellings
 Ten Years Or Less Old
 Dwelling units in these BIO cities on April 1, 1940 numbered MATHIS according to the 1940 Census. Tn these same cities, from January l, 1881 to April 1, 1940. according to figures of Investors Syndicate, new dwelling units built numbered ol5,- 286, or 6.35 per cent of the total standing on that date. In other words, 13,5O2. .429 dwelling units in these BIO cities were built before 1881.
 "The average cost per person sup- piled with new housing" explained MT. Crabb, "in those BIO cities in i940 was ses4.43, decline, of $S5 5.02, or 3.9 per cent, from the 1889 aver age of $e20.35. Last years cost of new housing per person, however, was 425l.E6, or 22.l per cent. lower than the 1880 average of @l,136-8D. This l040 per person cost was the third lowest In eleven years. Tn 1883 such cost was 9e75.22, and in 1884 it was e8T4.26. The 10 year average per person cost was ee53.06."
 The Investors Syndicate survey Is based on government statistics and estimates. These figures do not re- veal the adequacy of available hcus- Ing in BIO cities The shortages re- vealed in some sections Of the Uni- ted States. and for teh period ie5I to l940. inclusive, on the strict mathematical basis do not take Into account further home shortage cree ated by destruction, such as fire and flood. and the normal rate Of cbsos lescenee.

POND LILIES
BY THE MAN IN THE TOWER

don't know much about pond lilies Except they grow in pond, Dotting the surface prettily, But how they grow is beyond Me, for I'm not up blooms aquatic, They're pretty, goodness knows, But my knowledge of flowers Is mostly confined to the rose. I don't know much about orchids, Said to be the most exotic of flowers, I'm much more familiar with violets Fresh from their woodland bowers. I don't know much about pond lilies, Those little lily pads so round, I only know they grow in water Instead of planted in the ground.

Ski Club Enjoys 1
Party Friday Night

With the sole purpose in mind
OF having good time, members OF
the Libby Ski Club gathered at
their Club House last Friday night
for a picnic supper. Out-of-toWn
guests were Mr.. and Mrs. Clarence
Williams Of Glendora, Calf, and
Mrs. Harold Burroughs and son
Jackie OF San Francisco.
After the usual good food pro-
duced by the group was consumed,
q game of baseball was enjoyed I'M
til dark. The ladies played against
the men and despite heroic efforts
on the part of the outclassed males,
the gals proved to be too skilled
and won the game. Visiting and
singing completed the evenings
pleasure.
The only slight mar in the ev-
ening OF fun was the discovery on
arriving that some dastardly rogue
had attempted to enter the club
house. One of the shutters had been
tempered with and another small
door showed evidences of attempt
ed house-breaking. The Ski Club
has craftsmanship for one OF its
aims and hopes that visitors on the
grounds develop that same sterling
quality. :

Another Series Of
Concerts Assured

The Libby Community Concert
Association finished its annual tick
ct sale for adults over the week
end and announces that the results
were very pleasing. Mrs. Walter
Nells is chairman and she wishes to
thank those who cooperated in both
the convassing and the buying. It
took a great deal of time and en-
ergy to complete the campaign and
the friendly cooperation was most
heartening. Libby should be proud
OF the fact that such a small place
in comparison to the big cities can
successfully succeed in getting
enough interest in music to have a
concert series.
Mrs. Neils is negotiating with the
manager of Community Concerts
who schedule Miss Dilling, the
harpist, and it is hoped the contract
will be completed soon. The other
concert is still in the unknown
stage but will be announced as soon
as it is lined up The series this
next year will consist of the two
evenings.
A student sale campaign will be
conducted in the fall when school
opens but the adult sale is COM
pleted now except for new corners
and Out-Of-tOWn guests.
