School Needs 100000.
For this unusual school for chill
dren Is months through S years of
age needs at least $1,000 to meet
pressing needs for better quarters
and improved instruction.
But DR.. Byrd, in a summary
presented to the State Planning
Commission has asked only $780,

The same summary of needed
facilities requests a $500. 900 build

The old building is inadequtely
heated, lighted and ventilated.
Its splintery floors creak and its
playground nearby is hemmed in

New Program Held Up.
Lack of facilities is blocking
new programs which could help
children with rheumatic heart
conditions, cerebral palsy and
other disorders requiring special
training. Students of psychology
and home economics and nurses

Raises Standards Elsewhere.
The curriculum embraces spe-
cialized courses in child develop
ment, music and crafts, methods,
observation and teaching expert
ences which help raise the stand

Miss McNaughton said there

Graham, one-time Northwest

fall. That was % throws and
500 yards better than the next

For the first time in seven sea-

ace Troy Tomorrow

out to win with an undermanned
team when they face the Troy
Trojans in an Eastern League
Hockey match at Uline Arena to-
morrow night.
The Lions have spent most of
the season getting by with from
9 to II players and have managed
to win six of their last II games
while tying two. Tomorrow, Cen
ter Pierre Cadieux will join the
club to replace the injured Sandy
Air. but the Lions are still not
up to the 14-man squad hockey
team needs.
Nine forwards, four defensemen
and a goalie are considered full
playing strength in hockey and all
the other teams in the league take
the ice with an adequate bench.
The Lions have demonstrated re-
markable success with three de-
fensemen and two lines most of
the season. In fact on the rare
occasions when they have been
at almost full strength and had
more rest, the Lions have not
played as good hockey.
A victory tomorrow would give
Washington tie for third place
with idle New Haven. The Lions
