few questions directed at Joe
Jjrane will reveal. "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

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

to screen Americans on the staffs
of multi-nation organizations in
