Overcrowded Public Schools Big Problem (Continued from Page 1) Dunn, in warning against the dangers of subventions, points to the statement of Edward L. Hardy, a member of the California commission on school districts. German Conditions Cited Said Hardy in a report on conditions in Germany: "The Germans seem to have no political ideas other than that of a government and society so centrally controlled that if a mad man, or an evil man, or even a Utopian, gain power in it, has all the agencies of social control immediately at hand. "The crux of the problem is to encourage communities to control and operate their schools. The establishment of local initiative is more important than anything else. If local self-government is practiced in the schools it will normally be taught in the schools. That is the way to produce a generation which will know it cannot hand over its mental, moral and political responsibilities to a feuhrer." According to Dunn, state subventions lead to the loss of local controls and end up in centralized government and dictatorship. Dunn, however, feels many school districts are presently unable to meet the problems of over-crowded classrooms without state aid in some form. If the people of a state do not receive proper educations they become public charges and the cost of failure to educate becomes much higher than the cost of education," he stated. "If the local government's cannot educate then it becomes the responsibility of the state's credit enables it to sell bonds cheaper," Dunn asserts. As for federal aid for schools Dunn maintains California should be against such a program. "We are better able to take care of our problem than the nation as a whole," he states, and any federal program would cost the state far more than it received in return." In the senate, Nelson Dilworth of Riverside county, has advanced a bill which would provide that further state aid to school districts be given only on a contract to repay basis. Dilworth would ask the districts to agree to repay the money over a thirty year period by assigning to the state a certain percentage of the district's tax dollar. If, at the end of 30 years the debt was not paid off it would be cancelled. Dunn claims there are many districts where the assessments are too low. He thinks he has the answer to that too. "We have a bill which will create a commission to equalize tax assessments. If the state board of equalization doesn't want to do the job as it is supposed to under the present law, this commission would step in and do it. That way the state aid could be allocated on an equal basis." Frisby Says Approval of Bonds a 'Must' (Continued from Page 1) is recommended by the engineers. Water depth at the point of discharge now is approximately 35 feet and can be made only at high tide. The new line would discharge at water depth of 60 feet, another safety factor.

If the people of a state do not receive proper educations they become public charges and the cost of failure to educate becomes much higher than the cost of education," he stated. "If the local government's cannot educate then it becomes the responsibility of the state. Both the responsibility of the state and the federal government has increased because of the trend of a highly mechanized and centralized civilization." The education chairman is recommending that the state float a bond issue of $250 million to establish a fund to lend to needy school districts.

At present District 2 does not own any sewage facilities. According to the proposed plan District 2, in cooperation with Districts 1, 3, 5, 6, 7 and 11, would construct, own and use a joint outfall near the Santa Ana river between Ellis avenue and the ocean and a joint sewage treatment plant at that location.

The outfall would be constructed with 78-inch reinforced concrete pipe. The section of outfall extending from shoreline to a point of 2000 feet seaward at a water depth of 38 feet would be completely buried below the ocean floor to protect it from ocean currents, storms and beach erosion. The line would be surrounded by a heavy rock structure similar to a breakwater. The joint disposal plant (No. 2) would have treatment facilities for processing sewage safely. The plant could convert sewage sludge to valuable fertilizer which would pay 50 per cent of the cost of operation and maintenance at the treatment plant, engineers said. Capacity of the plant would be 49.4 million gallons per day on the basis of one-hour detention in the sedimentation tanks. Four trunk lines will also be constructed to connect to existing lines. Cost of System The marine section of the ocean outfall is estimated to cost $1,500,000. District 2 required 31 per cent of the capacity of the ocean outfall which would cost an estimated $464,850. The grand total or amount proposed for bond issue for District 2 for all works is $1,644,000. A uniform tax rate of ten cents per $100 assessed valuation will be levied in accordance with the plan or roughly for each taxpayer the equivalent of one package of cigarettes per week. Revenue derived from this tax will provide monies for the retiring 40-year serial bonds at an assumed interest rate of 3½ per cent to finance construction of the works proposed and for installment payments. Midget Sub On Exhibit Here Friday A German midget submarine will be on exhibition Friday, February 18, in the 100 block of West Center street. The exhibit will be open from 10 a.m. to 10 p.m. and is sponsored by the Navy Club. The midget submarine was known in Germany as the "Seehund," and was one of the secret weapons the Nazis developed in their efforts to conquer the world. The Seehund is 39 feet long, weighs 21 tons, carrying two full sized torpedoes, each being 22 feet long. The submarine, having a speed of 8 knots on the surface, and 4 knots submerged, was operated by two men. This is the only one in this country and as far as known there are only two left in the world, all the rest having been destroyed by the Germans so that the existence of this secret weapon would not be known. Wolf Pack This U-Boat is mounted on the original trailer used by the Germans to transport this submarine overland. This submarine was launched from this very same trailer along with others of the same type and kind, at desired location for attack upon our ships. They always attacked in a pack the same as wolves and from this method of attack came the well-known expression of being attacked by a Wolf Pack. This is one of the types of submarines the Germans gambled with and which was most vital in their war plans. The failure of the submarine campaign was due to rine, be sure and reglster in our Visitor's Log, after viewing this exhibit. OK Drawing of Plans for New $245,700 School (Continued from page 1) building, to be constructed at a total cost of $132,900, plus $28,-500 kitchen and a simple-designed lunch room. Upon completion of the new units, the temporary bungalows, moved to the Horace Mann campus from the former La Palma school site, would be, in turn, removed. Purchase of a new mimeograph machine from the Bales Office Equipment Company, Santa Ana, at a total cost of $545 minus a $30 discount for the school's old machine, was approved by the board. No-Sidewalk Problem President Fox stated he would appear before the City Council next Tuesday night, to appeal for sidewalk provisions in newly subdivided areas and in future subdivisions. A letter will be sent to City Clerk Charles Griffith stating the board feels sidewalk provisions for the safety of school children are a city responsibility. A copy of a petition, read at the board meeting, signed by 25 persons living on Evelyn drive in the Bonnat tract, requesting school bus transportation will be included. Evelyn drive is only 3/10 of a mile from Lincoln school, and school bus service is only for youngsters living a mile or more away from campuses, the board members said, adding that the no-sidewalk problem can be found in other sections of this city also, and poses a civic problem.

Orange county would have allocated by the State Department of Finance $553,968 for use on the proposed countywide sewage plan. These "Chapter 20" funds would be granted under the Constitution and Employment Act. Invite Vets To Use County Service Center An invitation to the older veterans in the Orange county area to take full advantage of the counseling and other assistance available to them at the Orange county veterans service center, 225 North Broadway, Santa Ana, was issued today by Jim Kilroe, assistant secretary, Orange county council, American Legion relief commission. "Because most of the veterans' benefits currently getting public attention were enacted within the last few years," Kilroe said, "I have observed from time to time a mistaken impression that the Orange county veterans service center was prepared to deal only with the problems of veterans of World War II." This is definitely not the case, Kilroe emphasized. While a few veterans' programs are earmarked for World War II ex-servicemen, such as education and training and GI loan guarantees, many other benefits, both Federal and state, are applicable to veterans of both World Wars, and some to those who saw their service in the Spanish-American War. These latter include medical and domiciliary benefits (both state and Federal), disability compensation and pension, and government life insurance. In addition, surviving dependents of deceased World War I and Spanish-American War veterans can get assistance from the Orange county veterans service center with such matters as death compensation and pensions, burial benefits and guardianship services. Toured Nationally This exhibit is being toured nationally by the Navy Club of U.S.A., a veterans' organization, incorporated by Act of Congress in 1940.
