Only Three Jobs Left At School

Only three definite vacancies now exist on the staffs of Palmer Elementary School and Palmer High School, it was announced this week by Superintendent William T. Zahradnicek. Mir. Zahradnicek arrived in the Val- ley on Saturday, and when he reached his desk on Monday morning, he found a number of wired teacher acceptances there.
 The position of sixth grade teacher remains to be filled, as does that of agriculture and home economics instructors in the high school, the new super intendent said.
 However, the acceptance of the coaching position by Robert w. Critics of Lima, Ohio is contin- gent upon his finding housing here, MT. Zahradnicek continued. MT. Critics has two small chill dren, and he will not sign Pal mer contract without definite as- surance of housing.
 Latest to accept a Palmer con- tract was Miss Anna Blom of Portland, Oregon. She will teach English and journalism in the high school. MT. Rivers has been employed as eighth grade teacher and grade school prin- cipal.
 Although the new superin- tendent had hardly found time to try out his office chair by late Monday afternoon, he already was familiarizing himself with the problems of Palmer school. He said there would be a pre- period for high school students who did not reg ister before the close of school last term. However, he was not yet prepared to name the regis tration dates.
 Questioned concerning the schools hot lunch program, Mir. zahradnick said he knew of no reason why it would not be con- tinued during the coming school term.

$190, 900 Airport
 Fund Possible Here

additional $500 was needed
 immediately to meet the
 payments on land already
 purchased. Some further
 funds will be needed in the
 very near future to effect
 payment for the new land to
 be purchased.
 Once the land is purchased, it appears the most workable plan for development of the Palmer Airport will be to deed it to the territory for it's construction pe- riod. Since there is no organized municipal government or utili- ties district in Palmer, there ap- pears to be no other plan which will permit immediate tapping of the Federal funds.
 The recently incorporated Pal mer school district might assume the obligation, since it has tax ing powers. However, MT. Stock and MT. Snodgrass agreed that management of the airport by the school district did not appear feasible.
 At the close of the construction period, the airport can be re- turned to Palmer, if it is then an incorporated municipality, or to some other public agency. The territory cannot assume the ob- Hgation for the maintenance and operation of the finished airport.
 MT. Stock said that as soon
 as officers of the Associa-
 ton receive definite instruc-
 ton on the handling of the
 airport during this construc-
 ton period, a general meet
 ing of all stockholders of the
 Palmer Airport Association
 will be called. At that time
 members will be given an op-
 portunity to voice an opinion
 on the disposition of the air
 port.
 In the meantime, Association members are going about the inn mediate business of raising funds for land payments by soliciting memberships. M. D. Snodgrass is Ill charge of the membership drive. Association membership costs $5.
 Officers of the Association are particularly anxious to pave the way for the beginning of con- Struction. They have been as- sured by MT. Metcalf, who has always expressed a keen interest m Palmer's airport, that if sub Surfaclng can be completed this season, it will be entirely possible to fly DC'3s from the field this

pure drugs as we'll as all the equip
ment needed to dilute it for retail
sale.

this quantity of narcotics could
be made into 1,052,625 capsules to
sell to addicts for $3.50 each.:f
Basile, who has long police
record, including one flve-year
prison term on a narcotics convic-
ton. was charged with unlawful
possession of narcotics.

said, "I don't know nothing

formation to the local police may aid in some
instances, it may also serve to wreck the lives
of men who have tried earnestly to rehabili-
tate themselves
Two other angles to this proposed ordi-
nance should also be viewed with concern.
First, this proposed registration is closely
akin to the trend all over the nation toward
closer surveillance of all citizens, ex-convcts
or otherwise. It fits neatly into the growing
drive to set up a ''police state'' Second,
should this proposal be generally adopted by
our cities, it seems very possible that those
who might be self-seeking could easily
twist the information gained therefrom to
their personal benefit.
Briefly, the council, should it approve this
ordinance, will be placing in the hands of
the police powerful weapon-a weapon, if
unwisely used, which can bring untold misery
to a group of men who in the great majority
are trying desperately to be useful citizens.
Such power, if delegated at all, should be
delegated only after the greatest of deliber-
alton.
