It cited controls over salary in
creases, university publications and

ton.
The study, for which $125.OO has
been allowed, will be carried out
by a joint-committee named by the
Land-Grant Association, the Ma
tional Association of State Uni
versities and the State Universities
Association.
At the convention, college Of
ficials warned that campus environ
ment was a factor in the shortage
of technicians.
Technicians are laboratory as
sistants, craftsmen, electronic
equipment men and the like who
are vitality needed to do the spade
work for engineers and scientists.
Ordinarily trained in two-year
courses, against the professional
mems four or more, they are in
shorter supply than professionals.
1t had been assumed that good
way to get more technicians would
be to give them the prestige of
training on the university campus,
in close connection with the college
of engineering.
Some universities tried that but
it did not work, according to the
college officials. The reason cited
was that student technicians tend
ed to be rated as second-class cam
pus-citizens.
At Purdue University, for in
stance, according to Dean Charles
w. Beese, "they weren't eligible
for football or fraternities; it was
a psychological thing, but it made
them unhappy"
Dean Beese and several other
college representatives agreed it
would be better to set up technician
training off the campus, in a sep
arate plant or through extension
work.
Purdue now has 1900 technician
students in off-campus courses, and
Pennsylvania State University has
1,400.
President Eric A. Walker Of
Penn State said the trend now was
to award technicians an associate"
degree as a means of dignifying
their position and thereby attract
ing more young men to the field.
Seventy-one institutions belong
to the Land-Grant Association. The
schools are so called because, under
an 1862 act Of Congress, they re-
ceived Federal lands in return for
offering courses in agricultural and
mechanical studies.

that polio had damaged the mus
cles in both his arms and legs. He
has had constant medical care ever
since and he will need help for
years to come.
Calvin now walks with the aid

He takes physical therapy treat

Calvin's mother has been devoted

Calvin's treatment has cost $5,-

Letter to the Editor
CAP Cadet Leader Explains Program,
Appeals to Parents to Cooperate

The Civil Air Patrol Cadet pro
gram is basically set UP to teach
our young people to be air-mind-
ed, which today promises one of
the greatest outlooks in future
achievements the world over.
Besides this, I am working with
my Cadets to fight juvenile delin-
quency in Nome. One man cannot
do this alone. He must have the
support of everyone. He must
have the support of the parents
themselves.
There are rumors to the effect
that too many dances are being
held. If the parents think this, it
is their duty to say to their child
"You go to the dance tonight but
you will stay home tomorrow
night" 1t is not mandatory that
the teenagers attend each and ev-
cry dance 1t is the duty of the
parents to control their children.
Set a time for them to be home
and enforce that rule. Make set
of rules for your children and en-
force them.
There is an old rule that says
Spare the rod and spoil the
child" 1t seems to me that there
is lot of sparing the rod. Think
this over. 1t is "a good thought for
the day, any day.
What do you say-parents, teach
ers, city departments, civic groups
and individuals-let's get together
and talk this problem over Let's
see if we can't make a place for
these young people to have their
fun.
After working with so teenagerS
for five months and seeing how
sincere they are, l am sure if we
do something for them they will
not let us down. We can lick this
juvenile problem hands down, if
we just put in a little effort.

Letter to the Editor

In the past few days there have
been numerous rumors and dis
cussions pertaining to the activl-
ties of the Civil Air Patrol Cadets.
AS commandant of Cadets, l
would like to speak in behalf of
the organization.
One of the main topics of dis
cussion are the dances held on
Saturday evenings. The Cadets
hold one dance each month, on
the second Saturday unless some
other activity warrants having it
on another date. This dance is
held at the council room of the
City Hall and is chaperoned by
myself and Mrs. August. 1t is
hoped that we can obtain at least
two more couples to help out.
We allow absolutely no drink
ing at these dances. Anyone who
l consider has been drinking is
not allowed to enter.
A dance held any other night at
any other hall cannot be concid-
cred a Cadet dance.
1t is not our object to create a
meeting place for teenagers SO
they can get away from their
homes, but it is our object to get
them together to teach them how
to be good citizens. To do this we
have to be able to get them to-
gether once a week, which is our
regular Civil Air Patrol Cadet
meeting. Secondly, we have to
have an organization. Third, we
have to have instructors.
We do have our meetings once
a week. 1t it held at the high
school gym and anyone who wants
to see our squadron can do so any
Thursday evening between 7 and
9 pm. Entrance is by the boiler
room door.
Mr.. Carl Liebig of the school
staff is one of our instructors. We
are still looking for reliable in

We do have an organization. Ii

States through charter granted

tives by Act of l July 1916 pub
