At tho regular meeting of the
Klamath Union high school
board, the members moved to in
vest $25,000 of the accumulated
money in the bond sinking fund
in C; bonds as the high school's
part in the Fifth War Loan drive.
The board also verified and ac

school election Monday.
Members authorized the
changes in the staff as recom
mended by Arnold Gralapp, su
perintendent of schools.
The changes are as follows:
Harold Teale is to take charge
of the trades and industries
courses, succeeding Leroy Erd
mann who has been appointed
director of vocational education.
Erdmann will devote full time to
the war production, pre-induc-tion
courses, and the marine vo
cational program.
Paul Angstead is to become
assistant principal of the high
school in Teale's place. Half of
Angstead's time is to be devoted
to teaching in the science depart
ment. Mrs. Bernadine Noggle is
to be placed on a yearly contract
basis instead of a substitute basis
as formerly.
The customary leave of ab
sence was granted to John O'Con

employment after the war sub
ject to the seniority rights of the
other members of the faculty
who have already joined the

In Rescue of Army Fliers
KINGMAN, Ariz., June 27 P)
A military convoy will be dis
patched to the north rim of the
Grand Canyon this afternoon in
an effort to speed up the rescue
of army fliers stranded on a
plateau deep inside the gorge to
which they parachuted from a
distressed bomber a week ago
tonight.
Col. Donald B. Phillips, com
mander of the Kingman army
air field, decided to attempt a
rescue from the inaccessible
north rim after flying over the
plateau today. National park
rangers, attempting a rescue
from the south rim, have viewed
efforts from the higher north
rim as impracticable, but Phil
lips said he believed it "worth
trying."
. If the canyon walls can be
scaled from the north rim it
would preclude the necessity of
getting a boat across the swollen
Colorado river. A boat party

At the peak, New Zealand,
