US. and Canada To Study Upper Arctic Atmosphere

WASHINGTON, R-The upper atmosphere of the arctic to a height of 180 miles will be studied by scientists next month in joint United States-Canadian effort.
 The plan, part of both coun- tries participation in the Interna- tional Geophysical Year, was an nounced Saturday by Dr. Joseph Kaplan and pr. F. T. Davies, re- spective chairmen of the US. and Canadian national committees for the ICY.
 Rockets will be fired by mili- tary-civilian scientific team from a site already prepared at Fort Churchill, Canada. They will use Aerobee rockets with two small CT stage rockets. Initial firings are scheduled in October and No- vember
 Among other things, the study is expected to provide the first scientific measurements of the density, temperature, winds and pressure of the cold arctic atmo- sphere.
 For the first time, the aurora borealis or northern lights will be studied by instruments carried by the rockets.
 Tn preparation for the tests, US. Army engineers have laid miles of roads thru the swampy muskeg of the test site, provided concrete pads for launching the rockets, and erected buildings and fuel bunkers.

He has no other jobs. I under

Is it possible for me to pay the

BY 1914, the school enrolment
having outgrown the frame build
ing of four rooms, the local Board
of Trustees, with the local tax
payers, decided to build a brick
structure of two stories, having
six classrooms, with a basement
containing a furnace room, two
toilet rooms, and two large stor-
age rooms, which soon had to be
used as class rooms. Four acres of
land were purchased from ex-Gov-
ernor Pennewill on the west side
of what is now known as Maryland
Avenue. For the first time Green
wood school children had ample
playground, and a real athletics
program began.
Mr.. Frank Knowles, an alumnus
of Greenwood School and gradu-
ate of Harvard University, became
the first principal in the new brick
building, where he served t~v
years. Under his administration
and through his efforts, another
grade was added and the curricu-
lum set up for a foTr-year High
School.
