The pecreat'on Assoc 9tion has
about $500 en- hand which was col
leciad in a onc-day blitz' campaian
in November. 1858 to build a field
house and related facilities at the
LongWocd Hills Recreation Park
The 1858 campaign had a goal Of
$4,000 which would have provided
for field house fencing and park
ing However the campaign only
brought in approximately $500
cash and the high cost of sewerage
and water facilities ended the prof.
ect temporarily However. the funds
remained intact on savings dposit
for use when the project could be
carried to completion
The board of directors felt this
was the 'break" they had been
waiting for and voted to contribute
the entire amount of Sc, 1872 toward
the. construction Of field house
that could also be used as bath
house The field-house- bath-house
combination would be located con
veniently for the swimmers as well
as conveniently for the participants
in athletic contests on the nearby
planned ba S e b all and football
fields.
The Recreation Association gave
enthusiastic approval of the Lions
Club plan to build a swimming pool
which will be ready for use by June
4, 1853 If possible The Association
agreed to take over operation and
ownership of the pool once it is
constructed
Under the proposed plan the
Lions would assist in financing the
initial project Of the pool and dress
ing facilities, then would seek the
cooperation Of other civic groups in
the further development of the A.

Under the Lions proposal. direc-

Aircraft Traffic
Control Center
High-Flying Jets
Contact Green Bay

A. glance into the future is af-
forded by a structure built for
the Civil Aeronautic Administra-
ton CAA at Green Bay.
The building will house equip
ment to facilitate control Of
supersonic air traffic over Central
Virginia. according TO John
Downing. civil engineer Of a
Chicago contracting firm who
built the structure for the CAA.
Downing injected the thought
that equipment and structures
such as this may soon replace
S dard telephone systems
throughout the country. and
speed up the entire communica-
ton process.
The Green Bay center will en-
able air traffic control at Wash
lngton to direct pilots over the
Virginia area through radio and
long line telephone communica-
ton. Only aircraft travelling above
10000 feet will be guided by this
system.
The center is expected to 60
into operation within one or two
months. Downing has completed
the building and the CAA will
install the ultra high frequency
radio equipment. The building
costs approximately $4,000 ex-
Guiding the equipment. 1t is paid
for by the u S. Air Force.
The radio transmitters and re-
ceivers at the station will be
operated BY remote control over
telephone lines from the traffic
control center in Washington.
There will be no personnel re-
CURED at the new station. Main
tenance of tf.e center will be
directed by the staff Of the air
technical field office at the traf-
fic communications station at
Blackstone. Engine generators
will provide emergency power in
case of commercial electric DOW
er failure.
This center is one Of many built
all over the nation to control
high altitude Jets and other
supersonic aircraft. wnin
leaves Prince Edward this week
to 60 to Las Vegas. Nevada where
he will conduct another Of these
communications centers.
The local center will replace in
adequate facilities that require a
pilot TO contact the CAA station
at Blackstone or Richmond and
have the message relayed to
Washington. and relayed back a.
gain. With present day high air
speeds the pilo rcould find him
self completely out Of air traffic
patterns of he failes to make
proper and rapid contact with the
Washington control station
A network of these stations
will provide rapid communica-
ton Of high altitude fast-flying
lets.
