In addition, it was an economical construction project as is pointed put in a story by Howe in the June issue of the School Board Journal. Preliminary plans drawn by Mor rison and Howard, Klamath Falls architects, were chosen and the U.S. Department of the Interior, Bureau of Indian Affairs and oth er agencies and individuals con sulted during the planning stages. Interviews were held with the teachers of the Chiloquin School, also, so that full advantage could be taken of their actual experi ence. The architects planned the struc tural features of the building with a view toward economy of opera tion as well as construction. As bestos vinyl-tile floors in the class rooms and ceramic tile on the floors and walls of the lavatories aim toward low maintenance. The radiant heating system, while pos sibly more expensive to install, ac cording to Howe, operates with real economy when fired by stoker coal. An insulating layer ol pum ice concrete under the concrete floor conserves heat. Structural economy was attained by using laminated weoden beams groove roof.

Walls and plass on adjacent rooms are so designed that the audio disturbance and visual at traction does not disturb the stu dents. Darkening drapes between the beams in the main rooms arc located so that laboratory areas can be curtained olf. Every room is provided with sink and st or ate cabinets as well as a library corner. A central library was not planned because the schools in the district are served oy a Horary van from the central county li brary. The building was built by Bros terhous Construction Company of Klamath Falls, low bidder at $2l;.i. 480 (or the project. Per square foot cost of the building w;.s $9 Ground improvements called for in the contract raised the per square loot cost to $10.15 overall. In addition to their justifiable pride in the handsome, funclional building, the greatest advantage of all lies among the intangibles. The teachers and school administrators agree that the scholastic attain- ments of the students have greatly The improved since the youngsters have been given a modern, up-to-date and pleasant set of workrooms in which to pursue their studies. Traffic Loss In California Could Build 810 Schools SACRAMENTO (L'Pl) Governor's Traffic Salely Council says that if California's economic loss from traflic accidents were spent on schools, it would build 810 complete elementary sciuhus, each housing 500 children, for a total of 405.000 children. The council estimates that every 24 hours traffic accidents cost Cali fornia $1,204,000. Towns and cities led rural areas in the number of injury accidents last year with 81,248 injured in cily traffic, and 53,574 persons hurt in rural accidents.
