$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
a 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
Divirion 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 referred
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 yet to be completed, he said.
With present funds and personnel
permitting an average of 500 repair
jobs 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 school
buildings and there are breakdowns
occurring hourly.” the superin
tendent commented. He admitted
that a few requests for repairs were
as much as a year old. but said he
was prevented by lack of funds from
completing the jobs.
Would Change Pa; Raise Bill.
The Schools Committee took ex
ception to a Senate bill proposing a
blanket increase of 33'.■, 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
per cent increase; grades 7 and 8. a
7’ a per cent increase, while grade 9 j
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 specialists. 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
ldge; Lawrence G. Hoover, principal
of Central, and Dr. Carroll R. Reed,
assistant superintendent of schools.
George Keneipp. chairman of the
committee, presided.

Need of Organizing
In Each Phase of
Civil Defense Cited
Capt. Clemens of O. C. D.
Addresses Citizens of
Greater Woodridge Area
Speaking to citizens of the Greater
Woodridge area, Capt. William
Clemens of the public relations
branch of the.Ofllce of Civilian De
fense asserted last night that this
country must be unified and organ
ized in several phases of civilian
defense to eventually defeat our
enemies.
The best known phase of civilian
defense deals with air-raid precau
tions, but the salvage campaign and
the precautions for health are equal
ly important, he explained. The last
phase, also important, is the prepa
ration of the people to carry on the
democratic ideas after the war “so
that we may win the peace as well
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. Thomas Rasmussen
discussed the auxiliary police system
used by No. 12 precinct, saying
that the plan was to be copied by
others because of its completeness.
No. 12 precinct has 300 aux
iliary policemen organized into
five platoons and from each platoon
two lieutenants and four sergeants
have been chosen. Two-thirds of
the force will patrol the 33 “beats,”
with one-third held in reserve at the
station, he explained. Men will be
trained to take over many jobs in
side the station, as well as to handle
the scout cars.
Food Volunteers Needed.
Emergency food and housing were
discussed by Mrs. Marie Cuthbert
son Noll. She said arrangements are 1
being made for housing and food for
the whole area, but more volunteers
are needed.
Wilbur Finch outlined the organi
zation of two rescue squads and
three stretcher squids, which will be
attached to Taft Junior High School,
No. 12 precinct and the Wood
ridge School. First-aid centers and
base hospital staffs were discussed
by Dr. A. Fife Heath.
Warden personnel of the third
zone of Greater Woodridge was
present to help William Burn ex
plain the workings of a typical zone.

Indian soldiers of Company B. 163d

tired of many a back-breaking hour
over a washtub. They needed
something to take the place of

saved from rebates on canteen book
purchases.
