ent each with the increase In population. The funds for such space been made available by the voters affirmative Vote on the proposition of issuing bonds for the building, addition. These bonds had not been sold pending, be lotting issued of the and contract on short notice. Several meetings were held to consider the matter including consultation with the architect, frey E. Larson, Inc.

The resolved itself into a weighing of need of the community against the neoda of the country for the materials and man-power involved in the project. It way decided to geek the advice of mombors of the Congress of the Tinted States representing this district and state. Lotterg were addressed on December 24, 1941 to Senators Scott W. Lucas Wayland C. Brooks and Representative Leonard W.

Schuotz outlining the history of the project, its need by the community, its status at that time and asking for advice. Replies were received from Sen. Lucas and Congressman Schuetz stating that the inquiries had been refored to tho proper authorities. Mr. George Doniel, special assistant to the exccutive secretary of the Otica of Production Agemont wrote in answer to the inquiriva.

The letter is quoted here in part: Honorable Leonard W. Schuetz has reforrod to this office for considoration and reply your letter of December 24, addressed to him, in which you request Information on new school construction. "The sovere shortages of many critical building, materials, have compelled the Supply Priorities and Allocations Board to adopt policy of curtalling all not Immodistely necessary new construction projecte. A full statement of this policy is contained in the enclosed release New construction which cannot bo justified of the "immediate noed" 48 outlined in this statement of policy should not be undertaken at this time. Present school facilities must be made to serve for the duration of the war." Careful consideration of louse SPA-D referrod to above convinced the boord that would be impossible to prove "the "Immodi.

ate need" as defined. Although application for priority number had been made no word had been roceived concerning it. In view of the requirements outlined high enough priority number, it was felt doubtful that 593 any, would be issued at this time to guarantee that materials would be made availablo as neuded. After further discussion the board voted that in view of the existing conditions with respect to new building construction during the war emergency the project should be abandoned for the mediate present. This action was takon fully.

Many classrooms schools are crowded and it apparent that this condition will not be allevinted in the near future, Much time, energy and monoy hug been spout in preparation for the new building addition much which will be lost. The children of the community will suffer from the inconvenience tinleas conditions change as far a8 building la concernett in the near future, over the board feels that it has acted to a the best of its ability der the circumstances, The war effort of the country must be our fret consideration. There is one poseible bright spot. The request for a priority number has not been turned down. If in the knowledge of the priority bonrd it is felt that due to futuro dofenso work in the aren it will bo necessary to expand the school facilities of the district a priority number might be issued that would open the subjoct again immediately.

Each spring high schools receive their representatives to talk to the requests from colleges for a time for senior class regarding the college to which they should go.
