School of Flying To Build Airplane Material* Arriving Daily for Ship; To Be Rented to Stu dent* for Low Charge. Materials for a new small arlplane to be built at the municipal airport are arriving dally now and work will be started Immediately according to Jim McManlman. manager. The ship will be a small biplane single sealer. It will be a little smaller than the one built last spring for Dalton Shinn. Power for the ship will be furnished by a Heath-Henderson IM motor. The ship will be owned by the Springfield School of Flying and will be available tor student use at the flat rental of 15 00 per hour. Stu dents who have completed their solo flight training will be given an op portunity to rent the ship at a nominal fee and thus acquire additional hours In the air. The lumber for the ship was cut at a planing mill In Kugpne and a large part of the work on the new airplane will be done by students at the school to glvy them a better understanding of the construction of the various types of ships. SETTING EXAMPLE HARD ON EMPLOYEES OF CITY Lum Anderson and Ira M. Peterson are wondering If It actually pays to demonstrate ones ability as a laborer. During the summer before the fire station was moved, these two to gether with Hugh Joliff, fire chief, decide«! that the city hall should be kalsomlned. They were unable to con vince the city fathers to the extent of having them have the work done, but they compromised hy agreeing to do the labor If the city would pur chase the materials. Now. again, they have been bothered with dust on the cement floor at the city hall for some time and when they asked the mayor about havltgt It painted he Immediately replied, "Sure, buy some paint and go to I f This Is Just what they have been doing. They put on old clothes and gave the floor In both the new addi tion and the main room two coats of red cement floor paint. The new paint brightens the rooms and makes It easier to keep them clean. Hugh Joliff has been moved to the new fire station on Seventh street and was not there to help the boys.

According to Mr. Wood and several other teachers and people who saw the affair he had gone to the io -tit of the trouble after he had received a phone call to come and stop the fight ing on the street. After he stopped the scrapping and told the crowd of children assembled to disperse and go home he ordered the two combat ants to return to the school for ques tioning It was at this time that two youth* jumped on Wood bringing him to the ground. People standing nearby stopped this and the two youths disappeared. A new concept of property, one cbaux«.*d from Individuality to mutual ity was dlscused Monday night at the monthly meeting of the Men's Broth erhood of the Methodist church by Charles O. Howard, member of the faculty of the law school of the uni verslty at Eugene. Thi- necessity of human relation ships was stressed by the speaker who said that property la only the human relationships between Individ ual*. He cited several examples to prove hts statement. In one case be declared that a mer chant's shelves of goods were of no value to him If be d.d not have con tacts with other people, and also that a service station operator had gaso line to sell, but declared that It was worthless If be was the only person using IL ’ He also showed how, when one man started an oil station and succeeded another would come along and take sway hl* property by reducing the number of contacts and sales of the first Individual. They were found In Eugene Thurs day morning and were returned to the Jail here under arrest. They were here that night and roost of the next day before they were taken In charge Laws Are Changing A gradual change is being made by the Juvenile officers of the county.

The house was almost filled for the first performance and a fair slxed group was present for the second showing. Those who saw the production de clared their satisfaction with It and the manner In which the cast was able to stage a show of that nature with less than two weeks of actual practice. Clifford Wilson, as Aunt I<ucla, cap tivated his audience and held up the show In fine shape. A great deal of credit must also be given to Mrs. Levi Neet, Alice B«*eson, and Mrs. R. L. Burnett for their display of affection and understanding with the supposed Aunt Lucia. Clayton Barber and Jack Larson as the two upper- class men, and Ralph Hughes and Jack Hulett as the freshmen, who clean up the room, exchange opinions and swap stories, all provided several good comedy. E. C. Stuart. C. J. McKee, and H. O. Dlbblee, all as suitors of Aunt Luala were extremely humorous In their proposals. The flapper chorus played a minor part, but It drew a lot of applause when the various members showed the audience what a well dressed chorus should wear. Mrs. John Ketels as the reader, and the children of the lower grade* at the Brattaln school, acting In pan- tomlne. provided a'very pleasing set ting for the opening event. Mrs. W. K. Bai ueil, sololht, pro vided the atmosphere for the touching love scene of the first act. A great deal of credit Is due the high school girls for the speciality acts which they presented during the show. Public Favor V ital Fact He cited two examples to show that the large Industries were aware of the fact that if they did not have favorable human relationships they would not be able to carry on their business. One example cited was that of the Pittsburg Steel company which operated a plant In Chicago and dic tated that the price of steel in Chi cago should be the cost of steel in Pittsburg plus the freight charge at Chicago. When the Interstate Com merce commission stepped In the com pany admitted they were wrong and agreed to charuce their policy and asked that no publicity be given the case as It would Influence the public against them. The other example was that of the Standard Oil company in Wisconsin where prices were being kept up In violation of the law. They immediately retracted their policy when they were warned by the gov ernment The past attitude of acquiring prop erty Is not In keeping with Christian ideals, declared Mr. Howard. More competition will not Improve the sit uation. but a better understanding of the needs and rights of the Individual with greater respect for the other fellow will. This, he continued, will require constantly growing faith and a stronger belief In one's fellow- men. Chain Store* Mentioned Asked what he thought of the chain stores, he replied that they were a good thing and that there would be a great many more large mergers In the next few years. The chain stores can take advantage of group buying and can provide better facilities for the public, but the danger Is In the types of people at the heads of them. If they do not have the welfare of the public in consideration they wilt Injure the public and eventually them selves, he believed.

Members of the Legion were well pleased with the show. They would have lined to have had a larger crowd the second night, but as It is they made some money with the show and they all had an enjoyable time during the show and the rehearsals. Miss Ruth Craft directed the play for the Universal Producttng com pany. POLICE DEPARTMENT HAS TROUBLES OVER PARKING A large number of Springfield resi dent* had their automobile* tagged by the police department for the first time Thursday night of last week while they were attending a perform ance of the play, "Aunt Lucia” at the high school. According to Lum Anderson, who tagged the cars, two resident* called him protesting that the sidewalk In front of the school was being used for parking and that there was not sufficient room to pass without leaving the sidewalk. When the motorists brought their tags to the city hall the following morning they were excused by the city recorder b««cause the ¿round In front of (he school was very muddy. Friday evening a group of local men sat in their parked automobile to wait for men who were syphoning gasoline out of the tank*. They saw the fellow come to get gasoline but were unable to catch them They had requested that the chief of police leave the matter of watching the automo biles to them that night.

No. 49 SCHOOL DISTRICT HUS CUSH » L O S All Outstanding Warrant* Called for Payment Tomorrow by School Clerk: Balance of $2700 Will Remain in Treas ury; Bond* Remain Unpaid. The warranted Indebted nese of School District number 19 which In- dude* the d ty of Springfield win be completely wiped out on Friday of this week, the date when Interest on si] outstanding warrants cease* and they will be paid, according to Clayton F. Barber, clerk of the school district who Is publishing a call for all warrants to aad including number 1408. the last one l*sue«l, and which 1* dated December 10, 1030. Another bright side of the school finances at this time is that there will be a surplus of almost 12700.00 In the treasury after all warrants and Interest has been paid. An Unusual Event H e r* This Is the first time that thia condition has existed in the schools of this city for many year* and speaks well for the members and officers of the present and former school boards. The school district is not free of debt, however, as ft has a bonded In debtedness of 3171,000.00, only the Interest of which Is being paid. A Urge part of this Is said to still carry over from the time when the Lincoln school was constructed. Marked Improvement In the condi tion of the school warranted Indebted ness was made last year nnder Wm. O. Hughes, at that time clerk. On December 26, 192* the Indebtedness on warrants was 94,8*2.24 as com pared with 310.288.il for the previous year. This year there will probably be no warrant Indebtedness at the close of the year. T ax Turnover Made The removal of this part of the school district’s Indebtedness was made possible at thia tin « by the receipt of a large part of the school funds which were collected with the taxes for the last half year and which were recently turned over to the school districts. It does not mean that the district will be able to oper ate on a cash basis during the next year, however, as the receipts will drop greatly for the next few months while the expnses will remain about normal. Another interesting thing in con nection with the schools this year is that the faculty is larger than it has ever been in past years and con siderable money was expended by the board In the rmodllng of two rooms at th Lincoln and Brattaln schools to provide extra class rooms for the students. MRS. MAXEY’S SISTER PASSES AT OLYMPIA Mrs. Elvin O. Strand, only sister of Mrs. H. E. Maxey, died at Olympia, Washington, Tuesday morning of this week.
