"The alarm system wm nui oe as large as we had hoped," Chief Surfus explained, "but enough cable will be laid that it will be easily expandable.

This has been the only place where a phone is available at odd hours, The new boxes in the heart of town will be automatic, and any one will able to use them The next project will be the substations ' of the department, Surfus said. Tentative locations have been chosen' and sketches have been drawn: These have been accepted by the under writers. The west area will prob' ably receive the first substation because it has high hazard areas, such as mills and gasoline storage. Cutting Grass Currently the department is trying to cut heavy stands of dry grass in town, and so far has cut 150 lots, with many remaining to be cut, the chief reported. He also mentioned that arson fires are on tne increase, with a 100 per cent increase showed re cently. The trend is movinng to the west, he declared, and several people have been confined the past year or are under obser vation for starting fires in this area. The department is also hav ing trouble with Juvenile and in fant age groups, the chief de clared. The same problem is oc curing all over the nation, and no solution has been found. The department here will do its part with fire safety and fire pre- SF.ATTLE UP) "If I'm soine to crash, I want to be close to home." That was the explanation nlven by Grover C. Greimes of Seattle why he and a companion flew a rudderless small plane across the Cascade Mountains after striking nign-iension wires near Yakima. The plane lost its rudder and damaged its propeller when it struck the wires on a flight from Kennewick to Seattle. Greimes said he was 'blinded by the sun" at the time. A few moments later when Greimes flew low over the Yaki ma field to drop a note telling his destination, Civil Aeronautics Administration officials said the plane's course was so "erratic" that all crash equipment at the field was mobilized. Similar precautions were taken at Seattle's Boeing Airport where it was presumed the plane would land after its hazardous flight over the Cascades. But Greimes brought his crip pled craft to a safe and unevent ful landing at Lake Air Park, a small private airstrip east of Washington's Mercer Island. Greimes said he steered the plane by "opening and closing the doors during its cross-mountain trip. BELLIN'GHAM lPl Dr. Paul Misner, nationally known educa tor from Glencoe, ID., said here that, agninst a background of compulsory military training and aggressive preparations tor an other war, the real hone for world schools and their reeducation of peace rests squarely on the youth for living. Leader of the annual summer conference of western Washington College of Education which opened with several hundred ed ucators of the state attending. Dr. Misner outlined the new trend in education toward the community school and described the transition from a subject- centered to a life-centered cur riculum which the schools of to day are adopting.

Presidential press secretary Charles G. Ross declined comment on published reports that Presi dent Truman had sought Justice William O. Douglas of the Su preme Court as his running mate. "There's no news here. It's all in Philadelphia," Ross told a morning news conference. While it is regarded as probable that President Truman will fly to Philadelphia to accept if he is nominated for the presidency, Ross said that no firm plans have been made for such a trip. Gasoline! He Snorts, Give Me Water! DENVER (U.R) Gasoline is ex pensive nowadays, so you'd think the Denver man who struck it while drilling for water would be glad to see it oozing to the sur face. , But Philip Schwieden isn't happy. The gasoline obviously is leak ing from a nearby refinery, but state and federal officials can't find out which one. In the mean time, Schwieden finds obstacles in the way of using or selling it. Being on his property, the fuel Register-Guard, Eugene, Ore., Tties., July 1.1, 1948, Page is his to sell, if he wants to pay a state tax and collect a state tax from whoever uses it. 'It hardly seems worth the trouble," Schwieden explains un happily. "I wish they'd find the leak and let me get some water."

Hamilton, the society's savings manager, said the upsurge in school banking was due to high employment and thrift lessons taught during the war years.
