"We would never get the job done if we didn't tiave a program worked out well in advance." said Drake, whose official designation is maintenance manager. Drake hopes to set up a program ihieh calls for the redecorating of ell of the more than 450 classrooms once every seven years. So far the money had not been available. This year 50 class rooms will be given fresh coats of paint, which means that it will be another nine years before they are again redecorated. This isn't frequent enough, be lieves Joe, but is is the best that can be done under an appropria tion that calls for the spending of $63,200 this fiscal year. Once the buildings have been cleared of the teachers and their. Pudus, tne urst job of maintenance calls for the closing down of the heating plants,-' which are then given thorough examinations and overhauling. Then they are in spected by stale workmen. If their verdict is favorable, they are placed on a standby basis and made ready for use on short notice. Complaints that have piled up during school operations which could not be cared for while the rooms were being used are then looked after. Paint West Side of N.S. U.S. . This year one of the major proj ects is that of painting the west ern exposures of North Salem high school, including the gymnasium and the auditorium. This is the first paint to be applied to the walls since they were built back In J936. Next year Drake hopes the directors will budget sufficient funds to enable him to complete the job. The extefior walls of the shop building and the bus sheds are included in the redecorating project at North Salem. On the other side of the Southern Pacific right of way a crew of mechanically minded maintenance men are replacing a big steam pipe that rusted out. A regular hoist for lifting the earth out of a deep trench wasn't available so the workmen rigged up one from a school tractor. The large gym-na-:um floor of Parrish is being sr-.ded and before the fall season opens a large folding door will have been installed which will cut the gym in half to accommodate both boys and girls at the same time, this project will cost in excess of $8000. Drake uses a number of teachers on his projects. Before assigning them to any particular task he makes an effort to determine in what line they are the most skilled painting, sanding, waxing, plumbing or similar projects. The Salem school district, grow ing and expanding rapidly because of consolidations and population growth, is becoming more complex each year. Drake states. For instance, the district has a num ber of residences, acquired when land was purchased as sites for additional schools. In order to keep tenants in these houses, they murt be maintained and that is a part of the job of the maintenance crew. Another job that one wouldn't Lewis Studies County Tracts A triangular shaped piece of land containing some 11 acres and which was acquired by the county by foreclosure for failure to pay taxes, was recently viewed bv Cliff Lewis, former assessor who is currently engaged in ex amining county property for the purpose of getting the various tracts back on the tax rolls.

Belgium I - The Belgian Senate early muriday 1 Rve final legislative approval to WASHINGTON Ifl Counsel for Wilham Henry Taylor said Thurs day a U. S. security board has found "reasonable doubt" of the loyalty of Taylor, an American of ficial of the International Mone tary Fund. The lawyer, Byron N. Scott, an nounced plans for a -three-way fight in Congress, in court and through a demand for rehearing by the security panel. Taylor has been fighting charges of subversive activity for years. Scott said he planned if possible to make a start Thursday by tak ing the matter up with Sen. John ston (D SC), chairman of a Senate subcommittee which is studying U. S loyalty and security procedures. The finding against Taylor was made, Scott said, after a hearing by the International Organizations Employes Loyalty Board, set up to screen Americans on the staffs of multi-nation organizations in cluding the United Nations.
