DIFFICULT TO HEAT AND LIGHT, the stage of the auditorium in the Dunsmuir Elemen
tary School is utilized for band classes. Ai is seen in this picture by Don Kettler, Herald
and News staff photographer, overcrowding it another factor. The original bandroom was
never used for that puroose in that it homed the seventh and eighth grades.
DUNSMUIR ELEMENTARY SCHOOL, which was built around 1926, has become a major
of inadeauate classroom space. Ther
are approximately 400 or more pupils who now' attend the school, which wes.built to ac-
commodate less than 300.

DL'NSML'IR A gloomy and dis
couraged elementary school board
of trustees met recently in emer
gency session to try to squeeze
additional classroom space from
already overloaded school facili
ties. ,
Approximately 80 students will
enter the sixth grade next fall.
Roger Ellis, principal, told the
board and the two present sixth
grade teachers cannot .accommo
date that number in their present
classrooms.
The board considered abolishing
kindergarten. Rooms used for spe
cial classes were also considered.
The present shop class is taught
in a windowless converted custo
dial room. The art class is taught
in a former storeroom where ex
posed plumbing pipes create an
accoustical problem. The band,
caleteria and library rooms are
already being used as classrooms.
The chorus classroom, speech
therapy and health offices are in
a condemned building between the
two major school buildings.
Ellis was told to contact local
contractors to see if the con
demned frame building could be
remodeled to meet safety and
health requirements and house the
kindergarten classes next fall.
Possible removal of the eld
building and replacing it with a
quonset type or pre-fab steel
building will also be considered
at the next board meeting. Ellis
was authorized to seek an addi
tional teacher to meet the needs
of the pupil load.
Instrumental and vocal classes
will be taught on the auditorium
stage where lighting and heating
are a problem. Additional use of
the school grounds was ruled out
as present playground space pro
vides less exercise room per pupil
than is granted prisoners at the
city jail.
Dr. H. A. Meredith, board mem
ber, pointed out the time factor
was important since any step will
require state approval. The possi
bility of a drop in the 664 current
enrollment was discounted since
additional highway construction
contracts will be granted in Duns
muir this summer and construc
tion of from 15 to 20 residences
in the next three months will mean
more family housing.
A bond issue to build a new
school at the outskirts of the com
munity was defeated in the fall of
1957.

reservation lor a jet plane flight
to the West Coast because: "I

Each person answered roll call
by naming a new iris which
bloomed lor the first time this
year in the, gardens of members.
This was changed in many cases
to what might have bloomed if the
iris had not been damaged by the
frost.
Members were reminded of a
district club picnic to be held at
Malm Park July 7. at noon, stan
dard Time. Several members plan
to attend.
Plans are going ahead for the
club's fair booth, and for the Cen
tenmal .Flower Show to be present
ed by the Klamath District in
Klamath Falls August 1 and 2.
Three members divided the pro
gram, each presenting a topic of
national interest. Mrs. Kenneth
Green told what' junior garden
clubs are doing in other locali
ties. 'Mrs. Warren Cantrall spoke
of the value of gardening as ther
apy lor the handicapped, the ill.
or those under stress.
Mrs. Paul Decker mentioned
what garden clubs are doing to
beautily Ameiiia. A discussion fol
lowed as to what the local club
might do along these lines.
The next meeting will be held
July at the home of Mrs. Fred
Ash. New officers for the coming
year will be installed.

AZUSA. Calif. IUPI Scientists
of Aerojet-General Corp. say that
f they had three to five years and
enough money they could develop
a system capable ol driving man
into deep space at astronomical
speeds eventually reaching three
million miles per hour.
But once into space, Dr. Y. c.
Lee said Saturday he was confi
dent the electrical populsion sys
tem he has been studying for a
year would give spacemen mobil
ity to journey to the planets.
The physicist calls it tne
'charged colloidal propulsion sys
tem." It is composed of a nuclear
factor which produces electricity
which, in turn, charges a cheap,
undisclosed "fuel."
What happens, according to Lee.
is this:
The electricity creates a flow
of molecules grouped together like
grapes. The groups generate a
thrust of about 10 pounds micro
scopic compared to the amount of
power needed to get into space.
But those 10 pounds are enough
in a weightless vacuum where a
push by a little linger would send
man moving through space.
Lee said his system would thrust
a rocket ship 3.2 miles a second.
If that is multiplied hv the 60
seconds in a minute, by the 60
minutes in an hour, by the 24
hours in a day and by the number
of days in the voyage, the. speed
becomes fantastic, he said.
The scientist said Aerojet, his
employer for more than 10 years,
has used lunds of the Advanced
Research Projects Agency in pre
liminary study of the system.
Now, he said, is the time for
the government to look at the sys
tem and decide on a future
course.

"Capital punishment is the la
of the state, and I was to uphold
it," he said. "1 wouldn't change
it. though, and I do not favor its
repeal.
"Execution is frightful and re
grettable, but there are 15 mil
lion people in this state who must
be protected, and the law is a
deterrent."
Knight said he commuted to life
imprisonment the death sentences
of three persons in the 20 to 25
cases he reviewed in his more
than five years in office. Some
cases bothered him more than oth
ers. particularly where there was
conflicting or circumstantial evi
dence. Knight recalled specific cases.

Edward S. Wien ckidnao-rapei:
