ram In The State Of Michigan:

The figures snow tnat the
school costs have risen from so
million in 1928 to 90 million
in 1929 and the l943-44 fig
ure VIII show an increase over
that of the 1928 figure.
The situation given for the
state as a whole is essentially
true for the local districts.
Lake Shore High school is at
tempting TO operate on a mil
lage income that was set up
number of years ago and with
the increase in all school costs
it is impossible to continue the
present school program unless
the electors vote to increase the
millage at the annual election.
In contrast to the difficulty in
securing sufficient funds for
school operation the school debt
is being paid off on schedule
and readable bonds are being
called in for payment. This of
course is due 10 the fact that the
debt expenses have not increas-
cd; the millage or amount per
$1,000 valuation of assessed
property has remained constant,
and a high percentage of taxes
is being paid to meet these costs
during the present period of
high incomes.
The Lake Shore High School
Board of Education a year ago
saved taxpayers $4,000 in in
terest through a refund Of all
long term bonds.
The immediate problem be-
fore the people Of this school
district is to prevent further
curtailment Of the school pro-

by slipping past German ma
chlne-gun positions SO close that
bright tracers fired toward our
side of the front flashed over
our heads as we crawled along.
They eliminated witho u t
noise the few German outposts
and sentries which they could
not bypass. BY crawling and
crouching along a snake-like
course through vineyards and
forests and up almost perpen-
dicular slopes, they took advan-
tage of every possible cover.
NARROW ESCAPE
The closest calls came when
the Germans staged a front line
air raid while we still were in
no-man's land. Flares were
dropped, Illuminating the whole
countryside and their deadly
brilliance forced us TO lie mo-
tionless for minutes which
seemed like hours. Barking dogs
and braying jackasses also
threatened to betray our creep
ing progress.
The whole venture was like
the Hollywood conception Of
war. 1t had never been done by
so many before on this front.

This movement rapidly is near
ing the peak. "
Stimson said that the over
seas strength of the Army eX-
ccedS the peak overseas strength
in the World War by 1,57l,000
men, and is only 100000 men
short of the total strength OF
the Army al the close of the
World War.
TOTAL STRIKING POWER
In speaking of the overseas
deployment. Stimson explained
that his reference was 10 total
strength, not TO overseas loca-
ton of the forces, which will
have TO be shifted al least in
part. as the campaigns develop.
The movement has been made
according TO a mlnutely-defined
pattern set by the United States
Joint chiefs of staff to fit the
overall strategy of the war.
Stimson said the Air Forces,
with total strength of approx
imately 2.357O00, has slightly
less than half Of that personnel
already overseas. The AAF has
more than $4,000 airplanes, in
Guiding $4,000 combat planes,
he said, and more than one
half Of the worlds most formid-
able aerial striking force in
point Of size and fire power.
T h movement Of ground
troops TO overseas theaters is
just reaching peak, Stimson
said, but already more than half
of the ground forces are de
ployed for action overseas. Ship
ping is available to take the out
fits remaining in this country to
TO the combat zones as the de
veloping campaigns e gu i + c
them.
Outside Of continental United
States and United States terri
tories, the AAF has approx
mately 925 bases. of which $50
are air fields, including many
used by the Air Transport Com
mand and the others include
radio and weather stations. hos
pitfalls, depots and storage bases.
In May alone, the service
forces moved almost fourmil-
lion measurement tons of Army
cargo overseas, almost twice the
tonnage of May 1943.
The Secretary said that sub
stantial progress had been made
in the Italian fighting and "our
position today is satisfactory"
The Italian campaign, since
the an d in 6 last September
through May 81, has cost S.
$50 casualties, Stimson report
ed. OF these 1886 were killed,
5000 wounded and 1854 miss
ing.
In a single month, Stimson
said, we have advanced eight
hundred miles in the Southwest
Pacific and the East Indies and
the Philippines are now with
