Crowd Space Also on Agenda Eugene's lack of adequate pub lic assembly places may come up for considerable attention Thurs day nieht at a public meeting call ed by the District 4 School Board. Although subordinate to tne overall problem of Eugene's school construction needs, the auditorium issue is one that has been discuss ed by many community organiza tions. The school board, Superinten dent Clarence Hines reported Monday, has been wrestling since 1943 with the question ot mnming a sizable auditorium in . the new Eugene high school. The board s decision has been that the people, as a whole, should decide whether they want to pay the additional cost for such a pro ject, Hines said, and they will at tempt to draw out opinions on tne matter Thursday night. The public meeting will begin at 8 p. m. at Woodrow Wilson Junior High School, and will deal pri marily with the question of how the school district can best finance the building of additional schools to handle a fast-growing pupil population. arms BE wise LET Sigman - Fell - Wlntler INSURE YOU TODAY You just biow 3 There's a story of exclusive values behind these exclusive lines.
