Lf. Nussbaumer to

USN, assistant officer in charge
and operations office at the Sa

the end of this week to report to
the Seattle Naval Air Station.
He -will not be replaced in Sa

Nussbaumer, who came to Sa

at NARTU Seattle, will be one
of two training officers in Se
attle for . a fighter squadron
there.
The lieutenant started his
training with the Navy with the

since, receiving his wings in
1994. Until his assignment in

says be travels approximately
1000 miles a week and is interest
as in seeing that boys and girls
of high school age are given
proper instruction not only in
the art of .driving but also of
courtesy on the road.
It is probable facts and figures
concerning the cost of a driving
course and what it will mean to
the curriculum and budget of
tne schools, will be compiled and
presented to the district's di
rectors.
Johnson, who disclaimed any
thought of being a "professional
promoter," relayed to the group
information concerning automo
bile driving instructions in other
places where he had lived. He
said be felt sure such a course
would result in fewer accidents,
a saving in automobUe insur
ance and a decrease in the
amount spent on the repair of
damaged cars.
Dr. Cecil R Monk, facultv
member of Willamette univn.
aity and president of the Salem
nign school PTA. reported his
group was definitely interested
in the program of class room
and behind-the-wheel instruction
in driving. He said the project
needs a job of organisation.
Earl Saline, also of tha raiinr
high PTA, said he hoped to bring
in an authority on driving in
struction in connection with a
meeting of the organization with
in the near future.
Aa suggested during Tuesday's
conference, instruction would be
given to sophomores., of whom
there are approximately 746 in
the high school. To ease the cost
to the taxpayers, it wis tentative
ly proposed that parents of the
students taking the course nav a
