Cadet Competitions
Ordered Continued
On Present System
BuIIou ReIents and
bourd Freezes Drills
For Future Years

Protests of high school cadets and
their parents against proposed
change in the annual competitive
drills yesterday won for the cadets
the assurance from Supt. Of Schools
Frank w. Bellou that no change
would be made this year and the
promise of the Board Of Education
that it wouldn't be changed IN the
future. -
Board members, all Of whom indi-
Gated they had been pleasantly
"lobbied' by mail and telephone on
the issue, and whose docket for the
meeting contained SO protests
against the plan, wanted to know
almost Immediately after the Per-
sonnel Committee session and before
the regular board meeting, what had
been done.
Passes Word to Principals.
DR.. Ballou then said he had told
the high school principals Tuesday
that in view of the, situation he
would recommend no change in the
cadet competitives this year,
He said the proposed ci1ange-to
hold competitions at the respective
schools and have the winning COM
pany represent the school at Grifath
Stadium-had been discussed by the
principals at several meetings and
was not supposed to be publicized.
It was, however, made public at one
school, he said.
AS a special order Of business at
the opening Of the meeting, the
members heard Col. Robert Ashford
of Woodrow Wilson High School,
the brigade commander, ask that,
II anything, cadet activities be ex-
panded rather than curtailed IN
the war period.
Suggests Change in Hours.
1.-THE spirit of the competition
keeps the cadets alive" he de-
clared, adding he was sure the
cadets would be glad to make up
any work lost by absence in COM
peting in the drills.
To meet the objection that buses
might not be available for trans
portation during the rush hour, he
suggested setting the competition
between $50 am. and $3.50 PM.
When Col. Ashford had finished
and the other representatives
started to leave the boardroom, DR..
Ballou told them of his decision and
the board members voted unani-
mously not to change the competi-
tive system in the future; nor were
school officials to change 1t without
board approval.
Result: This spring and here
after each battalion will be able 20
compete as usual against every
other battalion in the brigade IN
the battalion competition, and each
company will get its chance to
show its talent in Griffith Stadium.

Nets 4h-Ton Shark
BY the Associated Press.

SAN PEDRO, Calf, Feb. 49,
There was 5000 pound reason why
John Midoyitch's net wouldn't bulge
when he tried to haul 1t in.
Midovich, skipper of the fishing
boat Fora, tugged and pulled, but
he had to wait until a purse seine
boat with heavy winch gear aboard
came by to help.
Inside the net was a 41a-ton Bo-
nita shark, said to be one of the larg-
est, if not the largest, ever landed at
a California port.
Midovich's gillnet was wrecked,
but sale of the valuable shark liver
should more than recoup the loss.

County File"
New License for
Pinball Machines

Pierce county commissioners
voted two to one Monday to file"
the county pinball license appli-
cation Of Art w. Paulsen. Tacoma.
The action was taken after a
discussion with Paulsen about the
late filing Of his application and
the charge by Commissioner John
schlarb that Paulsen had waited
until after the county resolution
had been tested in court before
making application.
Paulsen's 5000 certified
check was still In the COM
missioners' hands. however.
Chairman Guy r. Melton denied
there is anything exclusive" about
the one license the commissioners
have issued for coin machine oper-
atoms, outside the city.
II just don't want to be rushed. 4"
Melton explained. II was on his
motion that Paulsen's application
vas filed. Commissioner X. f..
Gleason seconded the motion.
There was no second for Schlarb's
amendment proposing that a date
be set for a hearing on the appli-
cation in the next two or three
weeks.
The one license the COM
missioners have issued Ia that
granted Ralph Desimon of Ia
coma . short time after the
licensing resolution was adopt
ed last fall.
Paulsen said he didn't know
what his next step would be.
Melton's reference To being
rushed" was interpreted as COM
ing from the fact Paulsen's appli-
cation was not received until last
Friday.
Il think we ought to investigate
these things before we grant Ii
censes," Melton said.
