two daye ecah month, he added. "You
men come through the gates of this
Held, and for those two days you
become military men. For that period
there wii! be oniy siight differenced
between the reguiar Air Force soldier
and yourseives. In that way, you
will be able to step into key spots
instantly in an emergency."
The speaker stressed the need of a
vigorously trained Reserve force as
vitat for national protection. "In the
first world war we were not pre
pared," he reminded his listeners,
"and valuable time training our army
was lost as France and Engiand
fought alone. It happened again in
the last war. In case of another war,
there won't be twt years to get
ready."
Saturday's meeting was the first
orientation session of the new units,
and included men of the 8510th Air
Transport Croup Headquarters
Squadron; the 8515th and 8516th
Air Transport squadrons, and ail 51
Day assignees to Westover Field.
Conducting 'he meeting were Lt.
Colonel Herbert A. Orr of North
Adams, Mass., commanding ofhcer;
and Captain Don Coe, Reserve train
ing ofHcer at Headquarters, Atlantic
Division of MATS.
Of local interest is the fact that
the 8515th Air Transport Squadron
is commanded by Lt. Colonel Edward
J. Bullard of Pomfret, Conn. The
8515th is rapidly becoming the out
standing Squadron in the 8510th Air
Transport Group. Fifteen officers and
airmen are members of the 8615th.
Associated with the group and a
resident of North Grosvenordale is
S/Sgt Harvey W Hebert, training
section
?"*re are still openings in the
Squadrons for certain qualified air
men or recruits (Non-veterans) who
can contact Colonel Bullard during
the month for further information.
The Squadron trains the second week
end in the month and draws pay for
four days.

6) Located to accommodate pres
ent and future areas of sehoo! pupu
iation.
7) Located away from rmlrud,
noise and heavy trafhc
8) Outdoor physicaf education pro
gram possibfe for aff year.
9) With aff high schoof grades
moved out of the present high schoof
it makes possibfe tht* pfaeing of
glades seven and eight in the present
high schoof. as weff as affowing the
upper two grades to move from the
fsraef Putnam Schoof which wift re
fieve over-crowded conditions in the
irantmarschoofs.
10) The peopfe of Tuttiam for aff
time in the future, woufd be abie to
see the advantages, and foresight,
and have reason to be proud of this
devefopment.
Arguments against the present
high schoof site are:
1) Not favored by the State De
partment of Education, the Putnam
Board of Education, the Architects
and the Superintendent of Sc.hoois.
2) State aid woufd not be forth
coming because of fack of fand (8
acres).
3) AH outdoor sports and games
woufd have to take piace at the Rec
reation Eieid, which woufd mean the
huifding of a fieid house with heating
and shower facifities ($30,000); a
custodian ($2,600); an additionaf
bus for transportation ($6,000); and
an additionaf bus driver ($2,000).
4) The main city sewer runs under
the athfetic fiefd and if they were to
be refocated. would cost from $7,000
to $10,000.
5) Inadequate parking facifities
for any occasions.
6) Not so favorabfy focated to
accommodate future areas of schoof
popufation.
7) Located near railroad, noise
and heavy traffic.
8) Not possible to have an outdoor
physical education program due to
fack of space.
9) If an addition is made to the
high school on the present site no
provision is made to refieve the over
crowded conditions at the Israei
Putnam Schoof.
10) The peopfe of Putnam for all
time in the future woufd five to re
gret the disadvantages and lack of
foresight and have reason to regTel)
buiiding on the present site.
Other advantages of Budding at
the new site are:
1) Water, sewer and power fines
are avaifabfe at a minimum of ex
tension.
2) The new schoof wid be pfanned
to be easiiy seen from Woodstock
avenue.
3) The present center of high
schoof popufation is a point south
west of the present high schoof, go
ing toward the new site.
4) If Putnam goes ahead with the
new site, the State of Connecticut
has expressed an interest in budding
a new Technicaf Schoof and Junior
Coffege on the adjoining, city owned
fand. This woufd mean the employ
ment of many peopfe at good saiaries,
which in turm woufd mean more
homes in Putnam, which in turn
woufd mean more taxable property,
and more money spent for more and
better business in Putnam.
