Hodgkins, chalrman of the commu- nity center committee of the board, was aphointed to co-operate with that de- partment in arranging a District of Columbia model aircraft tournament.

Y., and a former official of the local school system. who died Mon- day night in New York City, was read by Dr. Ballou.
