This year certain changes
have been made in charging
off expenses. A narrow con-
cept is obtained in establish
ing Council administration.
That portion of salaries which
is a rightful charge against
the Center budget was placed
there. This now reduces Coun-
Gil administration from ap-
proximately $4,000 last year
to $8,275 for 1855. This sum
is not included in the local
budget on the basis it is the
minimum needed to maintain
an organized com m u n i t y
structure. This plus campaign
expenses and shrinkage are
deducted from the $112,OOO
total leaving $93,312 for dis
tribution.
Out of this Sc per cent
($52,O47) is tentatively allo-
Gated for overseas and UJA;
10 per cent ($10,890) to ma
tional agencies and "a per cent
($3O3,753) for local serv-
ices. Over and above $112,OOO
80 per cent will go overseas
and 10 per cent to each, the
national and local agencies.
(This is similar to last year
when 81 per cent was allocat-
ed overseas, 10 per cent ma
tional and SO per cent locallyO
If the minimal $4,000 is
not raised, a special meeting
will be called by the Alloca-
tions Committee with the UJA
representative in April and
prior to any final budgeting
for 1855, to examine the en-
tire formula. At the recent

 The first half of the school year will be over today and report cards will be out Wednesday noon, Janu- ary 19.
 Linn Forrest, school architect, will be in town Monday, January l7, for meeting with the Board Of Education and members of the City Council that can attend, in the office of the Superintendent of Schools.

 trip with swimming, sunbathing, circuses. ZOOS, and museums to hls hearts content.
 After travelling from Wrangell to seattle aboard the USMS North Star the Forsen family visited Mrs. Forsen's parents. MT. and Mrs. A. F.. Turner in Bellingham. Wash. They then flew to Hawaii via PAA and spent a month visiting friends on the islands of Oahu and Maui.
 There is. so MT. Forsen says, a tremendous business boom there directed primarily toward the tour ist trade. Every major city on the West Coast now provides plane ser vice to the Hawaiian Islands with four flights a week from Van couver. E. C.. alone. It is easy to see why there is need for the four major hotels presently under con- struction in Honolulu The plane fare from San Francisco to Hawaii Is only s109 plus the tax. and ac- commodations on the islands can be made to fit ones pocketbook.
