7 on the bond issue, urged citizens to "drive down and see with your own eyes if we're not presenting a good, sound business deal to the people of Des Support Issue The $2 million bond issue is supported by the Future of Des Moines Committee, the Polk County Labor Council, A. F. I. the Chamber of Commerce, the Junior Chamber of Commerce, the Polk-Des Moines Taxpayers Association and the Des Moines Building and Trades Council. Charles E.

Harvey, chairman of the Future of Des Moines Committee, said Saturday the committee "is convinced that the best way to solve the problem of garage facilities is to build a new public services facility and garage. "Cost of renovating the present scattered facilities would be too high and we would lose the increase in garbage service and street maintenance that would be gained with the satellite facilities," Harvey said. The 60-member Future of Des Moines Committee is an organization representing business, labor and women's groups. Gunter also has stressed as a "sound business proposition" the relocation of the present scattered facilities in a central location. "This proposal will centralize all the offices which are scattered in many buildings now," Gunter said Saturday.

"And through the use of three properly- placed satellite service areas, we can provide better services. Needed In South "For example, in the south portion of town, where we need the major portion of our graders and such equipment, they will be placed in these locations. "This will cut down the big loss of time we have getting our men and equipment back and forth to work." The present central garage and storage yards are located in the River Hills Urban Renewal area, In its agreement with the federal government, the city agreed to abandon the buildings. If the city does not abandon the site, it will be required to repay the $480,000 credit it received MISS FOLEY IS DEAD AT 79 PICKMAN 33 COLLEGE Statement by Mayor Iles Mayor Charles F. Iles urged Des Moines citizens Saturday in an open letter to "vote for progress" in Monday's special bond issue election.

Iles wrote: "Next Monday you, the voters of Des Moines, will make a decision concerning the proposed $2 million bond issue for urgently needed municipal storage, maintenance and repair facilities. "Providing shelter and service for the expensive equipment that maintains our streets, plows our snow, collects our garbage and so on, is not a glamorous project. It is, however, big business and important business to a city of 212,000 people. "It is, moreover, clearly in the interests of efficient operation and long-range for Des Moines. ILES economy "As you are also aware, nearly a half-millon dollars in credit with the federal government will be lost if the city fails to evacuate the present buildings in the urban renewal area.

"It is easy to find fault with any project that may be proposed. But criticism does not build cities. Problems must be met as they arise--if we are to keep pace with population growth. "The bond issue to be voted on next Monday has far greater significance than the immediate matter at hand. "It poses the questions: Are we willing to meet the long-range needs of our city? Do we want a modern, progressive community? Do we believe in the future of Des Moines? "I sincerely hope that your answer to these questions will be "Yes" and that your vote on Monday will be a vote for progress.

But in any event, I urge you to turn out at the polls and express your conviction as free citizens of this community." Charles F. Iles Mayor raising taxes. The garage bonds would be sold as other bonds are paid off, he said. Opposition to the bond issue is led by the Des Moines Area Citizens Fair Tax Association. The association contends the city cannot afford the $2 million project at present, Its members also believe the present facilities can be repaired more cheaply than the city has estimated.

The association has suggested the city go ahead and repair and modernize its existing central garage facilities and back out of urban renewal. School Bond Issue Defeated CRESCO, IA. Voters in the Howard Winneshiek Community School District Friday defeated a $1,435,650 bond issue. The unofficial vote was 1,446 to 2,373.

Mrs. Day, 80, Dies of Diabetes 72 for the land to the federal government. An million commercial development is planned on a 24-acre tract which includes the site of the present city facilities. The development would add thousands of dollars to the city's tax rolls. "This city is committed River Hills and we have to complete River Hills whether we ever participate in any other urban renewal project or not," said Gunter.

"If we don't abandon those buildings, it would leave a blight in a portion of River Hills and could seriously a affect the sale of property surrounding it." Cost Of Repairs City officials calculate that the cost of repairing the present buildings for efficient use would be about million. The million remodeling job plus the $480,000 the city would have to pay the federal government to get out of urban renewal are just about $270,000 less than the bond issue. Gunter said bonds for the project can be issued without CORPORATE Mrs. Earnest Day, 80, of 616 E. Ninth a resident of Des Moines 37 years, died of diabetes Saturday at her home.

a This resiliency apparently permitted the skull to accept the weight, crack in many places under its strain, but maintain its protection around the brain. One doctor described it as if one were to grasp a hardboiled egg in hand and squeeze. Shell Cracked The shell, representing the skull, would crack perhaps in many places but if the force let up quickly the egg, representing the brain, might escape damage. Immediately after such a force on the skull the brain cavity begins to swell and exert pressure outward, doctors say. Here the very severity of Allan's injury helped him.

Several of the fracture lines were in fact cracks and these openings in the skull permitted pressure to be released. Also, the flexibility be released. Also, the flexibility of the suture lines aided in this release of pressure, said the doctors. The accident left Allan blind in his right eye. The father, an insurance executive here, thinks Allan's physical condition and spirit were partly responsible for his recovery.

Offers of Aid Mr. and Mrs. Six, newcomers to Davenport only four months before the dent, remember the days after the accident as a blur of worry. One factor comes through clearly, however. People they barely knew were ready to help them.

"One fellow who I heard had just lost his job stopped by the hospital and asked me if he could help," said Six. -MODERN CONSTRUCTIONNO. PAYMENTS 'TIL SEPT. '63 2 Garages Room Additions Garages of types and sizes. Many styles to choose from.
