ADVANCED PLANS FORMULATED FOR
 SWIMMING p00l

Last night at a special meeting the Operation Swimming Pool' Committee of Taku Post 5559, VFW. the proposed civic center for Ju- neau came in for a thorough dis cusSion.
 The committee. headed by Gus George, came to the conclusion that Juneau not only was in dire need of a steam heated pool but also a recreational center to serve for both athletic and civic events. It was agreed that a pool 50 by l50 feet would be the ideal size with spacious locker and shower rooms in addi- ton. The proposed auditorium would consist of standard size basketball floor with seating on a circular basis with a capacity of at least 000. Besides the obvious use as an athletic arena such an auditor ium could be utilized for civic func- tions like dances, plays, concerts, etc.
 Many reasons for the immediate construction were advanced, not the least of which was from the stand point of the health conditions which the additional recreational facilities would improve by allowing more people to get the proper amount of exercise. Among sites for the pro- posed building, the Fair Building and Evergreen Bowl came in for the most support
 It was estimated that the build ing would cost in the neighborhood of $250,000 and the financing came in for much discussion with various schemes being proposed for the fund raising. Meanwhile committee members are working to complete a set of facts and figures to pres sent to the city council for some | form of action. The list will con- tain estimated cost, proposals on fi- nancmg and location plus suggest ed means of the operation of the center once built. The committee urges all interested citizens to ad- dress suggestions on any of the above items either to Gus George or to Taku Post, VFW, Box 591, Juneau.

NEED OF SCHOOLS NOW, NOT FUTURE,
 CLARK TELLS P-TA

Need fof more school facilities for Juneau's children is a pres ent fact, not future need, Super intendent Edwin c. Clark told members of the Parent-Teachers Association at a meeting held last night in the High School study hail.
 Today's needs will become more and more pressing within the com- ing years, Clark said.
 The upswing in the birth rate is the main cause for the need of added facilities, according to the school superintendent.
 With the Alaska-Juneau mine closed and the sawmill not operat- ing, there are more children en- rolled in the Juneau schools than ever before, and there is no rea- sen to believe that there will be any drop in school population" he said
 This years school population is 656, Clark said. Next year, ac- cording to pre-school children es- inmates in the community, school figures will stand close to 684. Withing five years, with no add ed influx of population, school pop ulation will be almost 800.
 Citing present crowded condi- tions in the school plant, Clark said that primary classes are being held in the elementary gymnasium thereby eliminating use of the gymnasium for half a day for re- creational purposes.
 Curtailment of the high school curriculum is necessitated by in- adequate facilities for scheduling more classes, Clark said.
 Site For New School
 Discussing plans for a building program by the Independent School Board, Clark said that school board members have no intention or desire to saddle the commun- ity with unwarranted bonded in- debtedness They are facing the existing problem, he said, and are attempting to solve the problem to the advantage of the commun- ity and the children who will be going into the schools in the com ing years.
 Clark discussed the choosing of site for the building of more school facilities, explaining that after long-term investigation the present site chosen, Behrends Avenue, in the Waynor Tract, seems to be the most practical. School-age population figures in the area adjacent to the site in dicate that a seven- teacher school
