Education Board Devises New Technique :.
Coffee Break Utilized To Go
Underground On Discussion

Before the legislature could get out
of town the Board of Education met
Monday to sink their teeth into the
% per cent increase allotted to the
institutions under their domination
by the law-makingo body.
In obedience to the implications
and unquotable conversations with
leading members of the 36th session
the board has embarked on "opera-
ton ruthless.
Using the powers they've always
had under the State constitution the
board is going to dip into the execu-
tive budgets of the units of the Great
er University System and provide
themselves with director of the
board to systematic their relation
ship with higher educational prob
lens.
The boards same timber nimble
fingers are to slip into the executive
budgets of the custodial institutions.
This filching of funds is to provide
a director to finger out where the
board bludgeon should smash next.
Coming up for possible clobbering are
the following institutions: Girls Vo-
cational School, Helena; Industrial
School, Miles City; Training School
and Hospital, Boulder; School for
Deaf and Blind, Great Falls.
From the 23 per cent increase the
board has agreed to spread a ten
dollar month minimum raise to the
various faculty members of university
units. The method of divvying up the
remainder of the increase allotted to
on merit, was stricken from
my notes by board request. Mustn't
divulge how the carrots are to be dis

The bankers are also happy, They've

The Real Estate Commissioner,
Albert Kruse, isn't happy. His we'll
drafted Real Estate Code (SB 81
by Mahoney of Garfield) was killed
by Ruane's Senate Judiciary ad-
verse committee report without
Kruse being given even the cour-
tesy of appearing before the COM
mittee in support of the bill. Kruse,
by dint of super-human effort, has
saved many a potential victim of
real estate Sharks from losing
substantial sums of money. He
needs considerable extra law in
order to give adequate protection
to buyers or sellers of real estate.

ENGINEERS RUN RISK OF
ANGERING THE PEOPLE

Opponents co-ordinator, Rep. Ray
Loman, Roman, objected vigorously to
the hearings Limitations of time"
imposed by the Engineers, because,
he said, people vitality interested
won't have a chance to speak their
views. and, taking into account
peoples demands for economy in
government it seems we should have
more time +. people will be angry
because they will not be heard".
Sam Chase, speaking for the Mon
tana Power Company, said Paradise
would be terrifically expensive and
would have an adverse effect on the
economy of Western Montana and
wouldn't produce the "cheap power"
we hear about, because, "the gov
ernment can not provide money so
cheap any more and the President
is going to request raise in interest
rates which is going to cause drastic
revision of the cost ratio.
The power company spokesman
said, "when we are assured these
paradise or Knowles) will not be
built we will put in our applications
for Buffalo Rapids number 2 and
number A."
Ralph Maxwell, Lake County Com
missioner, said, "for IL years I have
protested Paradise, now l am protest
ing Knowles this is the 9th time
we have appeared against these dams
and the same things against Para
disc apply to Knowles. He said Lake
county's tax structure is already i'm
paired because of Indian land and
state Fish and Game land, to the
point they must raise their tax levies.

LAKE COUNTY
DOING ALL RIGHT"

DOING ALL RIGHT"
Senator Bertha Streeter of Lake
county, also opposed either dam,
however, in seeming contradiction
to Mr.. Maxwell, she stated the tax
able valuation of Lake county "has
been growing steadily" and said, "we
are doing all right just as we are
it would be better for the county and
the state if we were to remain as we
are''.
Several opponents to federal con-
struction of dams suggested the Army
Engineers could spend their time in |
better ways, including A. L. Libra,
Thompson Falls attorney, who be-
his fate when he was serving
in two wars and needing supplies
and the engineers were "harrassing Z,
and doing injustice" to people. About
the dams he said, 1--WE do not want
it, we do not need it, and to the
Army Engineers he said, "use your
time and equipment to help our
in Berlin.
Northern Pacific spokesman, C. H.
Burgess, operating vice president,
and John Hawes, of the Agricultural
Development Department, opposed
Knowles, as "only slightly less OBJ
ectionable than Paradise. Halves

The Fire Company has plar
for the placing of its equipment
on the sound of an alert, the
same which has been posted fol
several years.
Ii is a known fact that Others
would have to help in an emer,
gency beside the Fire Company
Fire would be present no doubt
The Fire Company's job would
be to combat fire. The casual.
ties, the wounded, the mangled
would have to be cared for. Ger
tainly, the two American Legion
ambulances and their good
members could not cope with a
large scale operation, such as
moving these casualties, plac-
ing them at CD Headquarters,
or some designated place, wash
ing and dressing the injured. A
Corps of Nurses should be list
ed at CD Headquarters, and or
ganiZed to answer an alert. This
is especially true if disaster
should occur over a weekend,
because at such time our entire
and widespread community is at
the mercy of only one Doctor.
A corps of pickup trucks
should be organized to supple
ment the Ambulance Service,
and Nurses Aides should be or
ganized to assist the nurses.
The assistance of the Nation
al Guard is ever present, but
who is organized to give the or
ders to ask for their help, or to
tell them what to do when they
would be called out.
The Police Dept. would defin-
itely need Auxiliary Members.
In routine matters where extras
are needed, members of the Fire
Company have always gladly
assisted. In this case, those
members would not be avail
able.
When the siren blew Monday
morning, about one-third of the
Town heard it. Of course, being

Letter to Editor

Smyrna Times
Smyrna, Delaware
Mr.. Editor:
An incident took place in
Smyrna Monday morning at
1925 am, which | believe to be
worthy of some comment.
First, | would like to state
that the purpose of this letter is
not to find fault with any per-
sons or groups, but to bring to
everyone's attention situation
that should not be treated light
ly.
At 1925 am. Monday the Air
Raid or Civil Defense Siren blew
for eleven minutes.
And what happened in Smyr-
ma at the sound of this warn
ing?
Just this-about Is members
of the Smyrna Fire Company
and the one Town Policeman
that was on duty, reported to
the Civil Defense Headquarters,
which is the Fire Touse.
Yes, there is a room set aside
in the Fire House for CD Head
quarters. There are two CD tel
ephones in this room, paid for
by the Town of Smyrna. During
this ii minutes of siren blow
ing and the following minutes,
there wasn't one call from any
one to the Headquarters. (Had
the fire whistle blown, there
would have been between 20I
and 80 calls asking all sorts of
questions.) Of course, you are
not supposed to call and ask
questions either to the Head
quarters or to the Fire House,
but it always has been done and
always will be done. | merely
make mention of this fact to
show the utter disconcern of all
residents.

on South Delaware Street. How
ever, very rarely have both CD
sirens blown in coordination
since they were installed. Their
repair is needed And then it is
doubted if they are effective
enough to awaken a sleeping
town the size of Smyrna.
Some persons thought it was
the Clayton Fire Whistle-some
persons thought the Smyrna
Fire Whistle was stuck-some
persons turned on their radios
and awaited instructions, and
this is just what the general
public is supposed to do. Some
persons just turned over and
went back to sleep-and many,
many persons in the South end
of Town never heard it.
This is proof that the system
needs reVamplng or forget 1t
and serve notice on the general
public that Smyrna does not
have such a thing as Civil De-
fenSe.
There are dozens of other
things connected with CD that
could be discussed. Space does
not permit further comment
But it is a sure and certain fact
Smyrna is not prepared for a
major catastrophe-neither IS
Kent County-and neither is the
State of Delaware, and all it
lacks is leadership in the CD or
ganization from the top to the
bottom.
Nevertheless, Smyrna could
have its own active unit. Some
day it might be needed and ap-
preciated. At that time, the cost
of a CD organization would

Upon arrival at the Fire
House, firemen made prompt
contact with the State Police
Headquarters from where all CD
sirens are activated. The State
Police were not aware of an
alert-so at once the emergen-
cy was then termed a short in
the siren. The State Police con-
tacted the Kent County CD Off
cials, and they had not been
alerted, so it was reaffirmed that
the siren was definitely a short
circuit.
Now-because of this small
turnout of activity when an
emergency is sounded, is per-
feet proof for the Town Coun-
ci's need for action. There
should be a CD plan activated
in Smyrna. 1t is their duty to
see that a full plan is put into
action.
1t is hoped forever, that we
will never be attacked by enc
my aircraft. But-the possibility
is ever present. We are very
near the Dover Air Force Base,
therefore, we could bear part of
the brunt of any attack. Furth-
er, with all the flights in and out
of the Dover Base, we still could
have a plane 60 out of control
and crash in the heart of Smyr-
ma, and spew flames and death
over one, two or three blocks.
Other disasters could present
themselves, that would call for
organized emergency relief.
The Fire Company has in
storage 48 cots and bedding for
same. They have in storage
bandage and medical supplies in
quantity. These were placed
here by the State CD Organiza-
ton.
The Fire Company has gen.
orator which will supply cleo
tricity to the fire house in case
of power failure, one-half of
which was paid for by the Town
and one-half paid by the State
CD.
