Editor:
We spoke the other day on the
subject, and I write with the
knowledge that the Sentinel is
vitality interested in affairs Of
the county, and as such will give
grave concern to the proposal
before the council to sell bonds
to finance construction of an air
port.
Proponents of the matter have
persuaded Mr.. Reese that sucl
airport is necessary to "servc
government and industry moving
into the county" This is a smoke
screen to hide the real intent
The people behind the move ar
the present users of Congress
sional Airport, about to be closed
They are looking for a new
parking lot" to which can be
moved the assortment of plane
and junk that are now at Cor
gressional. They want tn
county Jus taxpayers) to buy tn
land, and outfit it for their cor
venience, and at our expense.
This so they can continue t.
have a playground, with its al
tendant nuisance value. The
don't dare mention this real pul
pose, or there certainly would b
no county funds.
1t needs to be emphasized the
ii must not be up to us taxpayer
to foot the bill for such thinf
when we are in such dire strait
on all our other services that w
cannot pay our teachers prof.
erly, nor our other public serS
ants who are so deserving an
devoted to our causes. An air
port will never be a payin'
proposition, as shown by tn
failures of all other local port
in the area, which have bee
forced to give way to other dt
velopments.
Here are the simple facts
life on such a venture. The file
pay about $40 a month for use
the field. There are about
planes in various states of I
pair around Congressional, al
this could yield at most abo
$3.50 a month. Transient tol
and all other concessions TIL
could be damned into such
field will never begin to approa,
a fraction of the operating cos
let alone ever reimburse our
vestors for. their bond money.
We don't want to be sadd'
forever with taxes to support
playground of this nature, and
don't think any right thinkii
citizen will condone it.
Now to comment on actu
needs of government and indl
try which proponents claim w
be served. In the case of indl
try, that is hypothetical futu
thing which has yet to develt
as far as Montgomery County
concerned. At present we ha
negligible pressing industr
needs in this county, and will &C
tainly not have for many yea
to come.
As to government needs, the
filters coming by private plan
need immediate drop-down acce'
at the plants, and especially
times of emergency the cover
ment is fully aware of is a

do so with no cost to our county.
! sum this by saying with con.
fidence that / speak for an over.

cry County taxpayers when ]
say "Put a stop to these airport
dreams which will boondoggle
away millions of our dollars
over the years to come. Instead
use our money to properly staff
our schools, to repair our roads,
to properly maintain our vital
services and our worthy public
servants, and to deal with the
myriad of things here today and
pressing for attention"

answered parents questions to
the satisfaction of all.
Health Department publicity on
contagious childhood diseas sta.
tistics has also helped. DR.. WI
liam j. Peoples, county health Of
ficer, stated last fall that there
is very little difference in com
municable diseases incidence
among children of the two races
Only in the case of diptheria
infantile paralysis and pediculo.
sis do significant differences ex
list and in these cases a higher
rate is usually found in white
children, he said.
Figures Are Similar
His report was based on 1854
figures. A follow-up this spring
on the figures for 1856 shows the
picture almost the same; what
slight change there Is is in favor
of the Negro children.
Since most of the cases of mis-.
taken transfer and low achieve.
ment were found in secondary
schools, up-county secondary
schools facing indignation next
year should make a special effort
to welcome their new Negro stu
dents, it was felt.
One suggestion, repeatedly Of
fered, was that junior and senior
highs have a speciai orientation
program for all new students.
This suggestion in one case was
made by the white children in a
down-county junior high. Be.
cause they couldn't schedule it
before the end of the term, these
children voted to come back after
scholo had closed for a half day
of regular session and lunch.
Program Was Successful
This program, participated in
by all of the white children and
all of the Negro students assigned
at that time was highly success,
full with the white students act
,ng as guides and answering the
questions of the new students.
A "touchy" problem causing
lnxiety in secondary schools that
gave little or no trouble at the
elementary level was the social
ancing program.
One effective way Of allaying
ears in this direction has been
to give parents a clear under
standing of the part that rhythms
md the dance program play in
he total educational program.
Starting with the first grade,
this program teaches coordina-
ton, poise and confidence and
helps the child to develop to his
fullest capacity.
Discipline Taught
One contribution not always
'ealized is that through the phys
cal education program children
learn to follow instructions and
directions and this is carried over
% all parts of the school pro.
gram. Test results definitely
show the improvement brought
about with this method.
In the high schools the policy
| Of letting each school do what
was Comfortable" was followed
and for the most part the respon
sibility of seating rules was q
cooperative effort by the parents
and school authorities, and few
changes or regulations were
made.

SALVATION ARMY FINANCIAL CAMPAIGN TO START NEXT WEEK

At recent meeting of the Sal vatiOn Army advisory board, the date of August 13 was set to start the Salvation Army annual drive for funds to assist in carrying on it's work in Wrangell.
 l. was decided that letters ap- pealing for financial support would again be sent out next week to- gether with a report of Salvation A my activities of last year. These letters will be in the mail some time next week and the boa d eX- pressed the hope that re ponse would be generous to meet the great needs of the local Salvation Army unit.
 The sum sought is $500 to sup port the work of the Salvation Army in Wrangell for another year which, the board pointed out, is barely enough to meet it's minimum requirements.
 Tt is felt that this modest sum should be raised without any sacri- flee on the part of anyone if every one will give as they are able" the board concluded.
