First Landing Set for New Hill Airport rioter "The Educational Implications of Population Change" will be discussed by Newton Edwards, professor of education at the University of Chicago, in a lecture at 8:15 p.m. Wednesday in Olln Hall. The lecture, open to the public, will be partially illustrated with lantern slides. Professor Edwards, on a grant from the Social Science Research Council, is now preparing a book concerned with the material he will discuss. Several points to be highlighted are the declining reproduction of the American people nnd the prospect of a declining population; youth as a declining population element relatively and ahosu-lutely; nnd the differential pressure of people in resources and the reshuffling of the population in search of social and economic opportunity.

and Girl Scout officers and staffs had jointly drawn up two detailed plans one covering the way in which Camp Fire, adults and girls, could most democratically and constructively become part of the Girl Scout program and the other the ways in which, through a joint committee, two strong programs could co-operate in the training of leaders, the location of troops and in holding special events. The votes taken by the Councils of the two agencies and read at the meeting, showed Girl Scouts willing to cooperate with a two-agency setup but believing that, in a community of this size, one strong program would do a better job and reach as many or more girls. Camp Fire, on the other hand, had concluded that it could not conscientiously vote the one program since it believed that there were valuable differences in what each program offered girls and that co-operatively they would reach more girls and give opportunity to more women who wanted to work with girls.

Robinson, president of Robinson Airlines, who will be at the controls of a Fairchild F-24, the fame type of plane he used in inaugurating his Ithaca-New York service nearly 3 years ago. Mayor Gibb, other city officials, businessmen nnd Cornell University representatives were scheduled to watch the arrival. S. C. Hollister, vicepresident of the university and dean of its College of Engineering, will be the only passenger aboard.

The. landing is scheduled to be made on the recently completed northwest-southeast runway. This runway, boasting an asphalt surface on a gravel base, will be lengthened to 3,800 feet soon and will be the same length as the north-south runway now under construction. Robinson spokesmen said today they expected the airline operations would be transferred to the new site from the Municipal Airport "before the snow flics." Representatives of 13 of Ithaca'd social agencies, meeting last Friday afternoon at the YMCA, voted 15 to 10 to recommend to the Chest Budget Committee that, in consideration of the needs of all of the Ithaca Community Chest agencies, the additional funds necessary to adequately support both Camp Fire nnd Girl Scouts, were more seriously needed by other youth aervices. They recommended strengthened support for the larger agency.

Girl Scouts, and, infei entially, the withdrawal of support by the Chest from Camp Fire. William Heidt Council of Social Agencies vlcechalrman who presided at the meeting, advised the delegates that Camp Fire's Council would be invited to discuss with Chest officials the course they felt it best to take In the light of the action of the meeting, prior to the Chest Budget Committee's study of the Council's action, at its Aug. 11 meeting. At that time the budget committee will make its recommendation on Council action to the boardTof directors of the Chest. That action will be final.

Question Studied Council delegates of the special committee which has been studying the question since January, heard from Heidt the conclusion reached by the Council executive committee after its study of the report. It read, "In the light of the findings of the Special Committee and in recognition of the many needs of the community with respect to its present or future it is apparent that funds necessary for two strong co-operating agencies such as Camp Fire and Girl Scouts, whose programs and purposes are so similar, are more seriously needed to meet other needs. Therefore, It is concluded that one strong agency is to be preferred." The delegates' vote coming after nearly 2 hours of discussion, reflected the reluctance of all concerned to take action that would leaf! to the withdrawal of Chest funds from Camp Fire. They clearly took it, the discussion showed, only in the light of the evidence that such a move was deemed necessary in the interests of strengthening Ithaca's overall social agency program. That vote, Council officials made it was not in the question of continuing the present amount of Chest support to the two agencies, as against giving that total to one agency, nor on the question of adding to that sum the amount necessary to provide a full rather than a half-time executive as originally asked by Camp Fire but for the increased surport, over and above those amounts, that the study had revealed would be necessary for a stfong program whether provided by one or by both agencies.

Council Votes One Frogram Chest President T. B. Maxfield pointed out that what had led the council executive committee to vote unanimously for one strong program was that the additional cost of two so similar programs serving 14 W. tt I I.

STATE ST. Extra Savings Too! DDT Controls Apple Maggots DDT spray nnd dust residues will notonly kill apple maggot flies, but will kill them at a rapid rate, according to recent laboratory tests. The experiments were carried on by Dr. R. W.

Dean of the Pough-kcepsie Laboratory of the State Experiment Station at Geneva. The field tests show that DDT, in either spray or dust form, gave good control of the apple maggot when properly applied. The found, however, that the period of protection was much shorter than the on DDT ns a household or barn spray would indicate. "The effects of a DDT application do not persist as long as do those of a single application of lead arsenate," Dr. Dean said.

In fact, it takes three DDT treatments to do the job that is usually dona by two of load arsenate. The DDT has a killing action, which is more rapid than that of lend arsenate. This may be valuable where fly migration into the orchard occurs, since these flies must be- killed as rapidly as possible to prevent their infesting fruit. In proper amounts, DDT may be used for apple maggot in early varieties with greater safety than lead arsenate. A spray of 2 pounds of a 50 per cent wettable powder DDT in 100 gallons will be effective for about 2 weeks.

days in Ithaca consulting with the committee and the two agency councils. Their experience, he said, bore out the difficulties a community of Ithaca's size and interests fncea in making this sort of a decision. They advised, he explained, that Ithaca stands midway between cities of more than 30,000 that require two agencies and those under 10 where one is the rule. While it was their belief that we would be doing more for girls by having two strong programs, he continued, they pointed out that such a decision should follow from a consideration of the need of the community for other youth services and whether, in proportion to their importance, they could be adequately supported within the limits of the funds available, if the cost of two strong programs for the agencies under consideration-was also met. It was in the light of these considerations, the delegates were advised, that the three Council members of the Special Committee had favored, two to one, one strong agency.

They were also influenced as were members of the council executive committee, it was reported, by the belief that in a community of this size even two well supported agencies co-operating with the best of intent, would not find it easy to compete for the number of girls yet to be reached which is estimated at 200 plus) of the 600 girls in Ithaca and the Town of Ithaca not now reached by either group or for the leaders required. Co-operation Praised The special committee, whose chairman was Prof. L. H. Mac-Daniels, paid particular tribute to the genuine spirit of co-operation with which the members of both agencies had devoted themselves to the committee work.

Special recognition was given to Camp Fire for the difficult position they as the smaller of the tw agencies occupied. In recognition of Camp Fire's convictions about the values of two programs, Chest President Maxfiel-d explained, the council executive committee had hoped it might suggest, if funds permitted, very largely the same kinds of girls. could not be justified in the light of the long recognized needs of recrea Here's the thread" you've waited for In colors you've dreamed about!

Friends may call at the Funeral Home Tuesday evening. year's period during which two s'trong programs functioned, with the hope that Camp Fire might then find merger more possible. However, he said, he had been forced to the conclusion that nothing short of unqualified support of two programs would provide Camp Fire the chance they wanted to do a good job and, that being the case, he and others, on the committee felt forced in the light of the priority of other needs to vote for one strong program, in the hope that it would, as many ne-lieved, once the difficulties of the transition period were over, do the best job for our community.

This marks the third time in the past 10 years that council committees have recommended one such girls' program. It is the first time that the Council Delegate body has sustained that action. On the suggestion of the chairman, Prof. E. F.

Phillips, Mrs. Chamberlain and W. J. JDavis were named as a committee to write a fitting history of the Council chairmanships of Dr. R.

D. Fear and Professor MacDaniels. Together, their terms had covered a period of 9 years. tional programs which were basically more different and reached girls and boys that were not intended to be served by either of the agencies in question. "The staff, program and capital replacement needs of our settlement houses and our YMCA and YWCA program Have to be considered." He said, "Their needs and those of our health and our family agencies require that priorities be set up.

On the basis of what we now know the priority that we could give for the support of two strong girls' agencies like these makes it very unlikely that we would have the funds required." The report showed that the chief extra cost for two strong programs would be the need for three full-time workers as against two for one strong agency.
