AZ Wasting SlS3
 Million a Year
 For Flying Time

WASHINGTON R Sen. Stuart Symington, D-Mo, accused the Air Force of wasting" $183 million this year by paying "pro- ficiency" flying time to 27,000 officers who don't need to fly.
 Of this amount, Symington said, $71 million is being spent "for unnecessary flight pay' to Air Force dentists, lawyers, mathe- maticians, physicists, chemists, auditors, chaplains and other specialists trained in non-flying fields. The other SIP million, he said, goes to pay for the main- tenance and operation of the air craft they use.
 In speech in the Senate, Sy- mington, himself a former Sec tary of the Air Force, declared:
 Many officers receiving fly ing pay have not actually flown planes themselves for years. In such cases, subordinates do the flying while the officer in ques- tion works or rests in the back of the plane"
 And he said that a time when Air Force missions call for in- creasing efficiency in jet aircraft or in the new field of missiles, lover 40 per cent of the total hours flown for proficiency fly ing last year were in CAY World War II cargo type aircraft"

 Spokesmen for the governors termed it negotiable for the resi- dents of the non-contiguous areas of the United States to bear the entire cost of a national policy restricting shipping services ex- clusively to non-subsidized Amer can ships.
 Gov. Luis Munoz-Marin esti- mated that the policy is costing the people of Puerto Rico $10 mill lion year more in freight charges than would apply if foreign flag ships could be used,
 Burke Riley, executive assistant to Gov. Egan, suggested the gov ernment provide ship construc- tion and operating subsidies to carriers in the off-shore domestic trade on the same basis as now provided to American lines com peting with foreign operators in

it prepare for its annual Easter
Seal campaign.

good variety, it is one that
will last a long time"
Back at their own green
house at the high school, the
students handled their
plants with increased under
standing.
II was surprised at the
way a little bit of difference
in the amount of light can
make plants 60 tall" said Pat

In the school green
house, the students make
stem, root and leaf cuttings,
divide bulbs, transplant,
and do some seed planting.
I'VE raise lots of tomato
and pepper plants" said Mrs.
Green. The Horticulture
Club sells little plants to
students and parents"
The students arrange
new transplantS, new stem
and root cuttings and newly
planted seeds under benches
to stay in the shade for a
few days. They practice
maintaining proper humid
ity, temperature and ventila-
ton in the greenhouse.
They get an idea of how
much light and heat and
water and fertilizer to uSe,"
Mrs. Green explained.
Their trip impressed the
students with the Govern
ment's continuing and pains
taking research toward bet
ter vegetables, fruits, trees
and flowers.
The part l enjoyed most
was where they had potato
flowers in plastic bags"

observation of potato plants

how they used the bees for
