$50 in Defense Bonds Brought in Daily by Teachers' Campaign Trade Board Committee .Is Told of Sales; Lag In Repairs Denied An average of $50 worth of de-| fense stamps and bonds are being sold daily in the public schools in| & voluntary buying campaign of| teachers, the Washington Board of Trade Schools’ Committee learned | yesterday. School officials told of the cam-| paign at a meeting of the commit- | tee in Schneider’s Restaurant and | at the same time, disclosed they had | received several requests from teach- | ers asking permission to set up “de- | fense banks” in classrooms to per- ‘ mit children to buy stamps. Division Supervisor Henry W. Draper said that more than $2,100 in bonds had been purchased in Divicion 1 of the public school sys-| tem alone. Miss May P. Bradshaw, principal of Roosevelt High School | and chairman of a committee to promote sales, told the trade board body every employe of junior and senior high schools had pledged to purchase stamps each month. Requests of teachers to sell stamps in classrooms have been reYerred to Franklin School authorities for | approval, members were informed. School Repair Lag Denied. | Answering reports' that the Dis~ trict Repair Shop was “woefully behind” in attending to repairs in local schools, H. W. Draper, shop superintendent, explained to the School Committee that the backlog of pending repairs is lighter than it has been in many years. Of the 12,250 varied requests submitted to, the shop by school administrators in the past 30 months, 1,180 jobs have vet to be completed, he said. With present funds and personnel permitting an average of 500 repair Jjobs completed a month, the shop is little more than two months on its | work, Mr. Draper said. He blamed lack of funds for this condition, which he said at one time “had been much worse.” “We have to look after 185 scho buildings and there are breakdowns occurring hourly,” the superin- | tendent commented. He admitted that a few requests for repairs were as much as a vear old, but said he | was prevented by lack of funds from | completing the jobs. Would Change Pay Raise Bill. The Schools Committee took ex- | ception to a Senate bill proposing a blanket increase of 33's per cent in salaries of all custodial employes of | the public schools and in its place | made the following recommendation to the trade board’s Executive Com- mittee: That caretakers and employes of grades 2, 3 and 4 be given increases of 20 per cent; grades 5 and 6, a 10 71; per cent increase, while grade 9| employes are to receive no increase. | Maj. Gen. Amos A. Fries, com- mittee member, spoke briefly on the need of more technical training in| schools to equip the business world with more speclahsts He said there should be more “must subjects” for pupils rather than to permit them to range over a wide field in choosing their studies. Guests included H. K. Bosley, as- | sistant principal of the Woodrow Wilson: Dr. Elmer E. Newton, prin- | #% cipal of Western; Frank C. Daniel, principal of McKinley: N. A. Danow- | ski, assistant of Eastern; John F.| Brougher, assistant at Calvin Cool- | idge; Lawrence G. Hoover, prmclpal of Central, and Dr. Carroll R. Reed, | assistant superintendent of schools. | George Keneipp, chairman of the committee, presided. | First Gasoline Pumped 1 Through New Pipe Line | ATLANTA, Jan. 24—Pumping of | 420000 gallons of gasoline from Baton Rouge, La., to Meridian, Miss., made up the first delivery over the | new 1261-mile plantation pipe line. | The inaugural shipment went yes- terday to the Standard Oil Co. of Kentucky station at Meridian. The | northern terminus of the line is at Greensboro, N. C. The line can supply 60,000 barrels a day to stations in North and South Carolina, Georgia, Tennessee, Aln- bama and Mississippi.

The last phase, also important, is the prepa- ration of the people to carry on the SATURDAY, JANUARY 24, 1942, mtwmyvmthpemunfl as the war,” he said. Morale Better if Prepared. Capt. Clemens asserted that be- cause no one can be safe from at- tack the people must be prepared to meet any emergency, for a prepared people have better morale. Police Sergt.
