Expressing the school boards
views, DR.. Corning said the Dis
trict never will be able to get the
school system to point where it
will meet adequately the needs of
the city's youth on the "pay-as-
you-go plan" now practiced. He
described as inadequate" the
1949-50 school budget sent to Con-
gress.
DR.. Corning called attention to
the recommendations of DR.. George
D. Strayer Of Columbia University,
who is making a survey of schools
here for Congress. DR.. Strayer
advocated an immediate $38. .000,-
900 building program.
This does not take into con-
sideration the purchase Of sites for
the buildings, DR.. Corning ex-
planned. When that is added, the
sum needed will be a great deal
more, he said.

Il. 3. a. SURVEY

The survey that is being taken by
the office is proving to be quite
success. Through this survey we
are in POSITION to obtain some infor
nation otherwise we could not get.
The presidents are responding
nicely to this plea and there are
others who have not as yet respond
ed. however. we are trusting and
hoping that they Will at an early
date.
Our purpose for taking this survey
is to find out about some OF the ac-
tivities in the various local lodges
and we honestly feel that it is d
forward step. Our motive is from a
constructive stand point and not a
destructive standpoint
After all reports are in and we
have had a chance to compile same,
we will then let you know just
what our next move will be.
We hope that the presidents viii
feel free to fill out these blanks and
forward them to the office, which in
turn will help us to determine where
help is needed most.
We are aware that there are To-
cal LODGES in the Association that
are il dire need of help and it is our
aim to help where help is needed
There are presidents in the Associa-
ton who do not know how to renew
members. There are presidents II
the Association who do not know
how to conduct an order of worship
in the local lodge. Since we know
I what is needed it is our indispen
sable duty to acquaint these loca
presidents with these procedures.

Voters To Decide

An important question that will
be submitted to the voters at next
Tuesdays election is whether or
not a County Charter Commission.
With it will be a number of candi-
dates for members Of the proposed

highest number of votes will be
elected to serve on the commission
without pay.
If the question Is approved the

frame a charter for the county

AIR FORCE BASE AT MtCH0RD FIELD
 E CHANGING OVER

McCHORD FIELD, Oct. 12.-- R-This Air Force Base, military gateway to Alaska, is changing over from a medium troop carrier op- eration to a heavy carrier group installation.
 The first of group of four-en- zine C-54s arrived this week to re- place the C-82 flying boxcars which have long been a familiar sight in shuttle service between Mo- Chord, Alaska and other distant points.
 The C-54s are Army Air Forces version of the commercial DC-4s Thirty-six of the big carriers will be assigned to this base, compared with the AS two-engine flying box cars heretofore stationed here. The C-82s will be assigned to AAF bases around the world.
 Significance of the changeover Air Force men indicated, lies in the fact that the heavier planes will give the McChord troop carrier group greater range by 1000 miles.
