The new building will be 50 feet wide at the front facing Fifth Street and 80 feet wide at the rear of the lot. Included in the new unit will be the men's lobby, member's lounge, men's game room, office space, a new men's physical department, complete with senior men's locker room, businessmen's locker room, lounge, exercise and weightlifting room, massage department and showers. In the massage department there will be a steam 'room, violet ray room and snooze room. FAMILY NIGHT PLANS General Secretary Robert T.

Magnuson said that the new building is arranged so that there is no cross over between boys and men in their use of the facilities. It is possible, he said, to accommodate women and girls on occasional familynight programs. Future plans call for a large gymnasium, additional handball courts and additional residence rooms. Modernization of Ihe present building will bring a small, new banquet room, buffet lunch service, boys' locker and shower room, boys' craft shop, additional boys' club rooms and office space. HANDBALL COURTS The handball court building will be moved several feet west, the courts put in first-class condition and connected with the new unit.

Two alternafe jurors, a man and a woman, were chosen in the Thursday afternoon session, the last session until Monday when the prosecution's opening statement will be heard.

There will be no session Friday because of the criminal calendar to be handled by Judge John G. Gabbert. Asst. Dist. Atty.

Elwood Rich termed. Lawrance's account of the slaying as "fantastic" in his questioning of the prospective jurors. Defense Atty. William Shaw brought up the possibility that a story of an accident almost identi cal to the one Lawrance says led to his niece's death may be intro duced as evidence. Shaw produced a copy of the Monte Vista, Journal carrying an account of an accident where the police chief had been sent to the hospital with a "severe head gash and slight concussion" as a result of a freak accident.

The story went on to say the, man had been repairing a flat tire when the jack slipped out, "striking him across the forehead" and knocking him Lawrance told an almost identi cal story to the district attorney's office. Knife-Point Robbery Suspects Arraigned Two San Bernardino men, both suspects in the knife point robbery Monday of an Elsinore cook, were arraigned before Municipal Judge C. O. Thompson.

A(ork Progresses On New School Work on the new Mountain Junior High School, being built near the Lake Arrowhead Elementary School just off the Rim of the World Highway, is progressing well, Schools Superintendent F. Eugene Mueller told the San Bernardino Board of Education at its regular meeting Thursday night at 799 St. The precast concrete slabs and the framework of the structure are in place, and contractor Gordon Fields is preparing to pour the concrete for the roof, Mueller said. The building may be ready for occupancy by the end of the year, Mueller said. Work on the new junior high school started late last August after Fields secured the construction contract with a low bid of $125,000 that matched the minimum cost estimate of architect Jerome Armstrong.

Schools business manager Her bert S. Mitchell said that a cost analysis of the new school revealed i that cpnstruction cost per square i foot is $16. The school will consist of five classrooms, a locker corridor and other facilities.

Telephone 7883 In Desert Only eight votes separated R. Seals late Thursday in the visorial District. Miss Lawson There was no doubt but that the sizzling race would run right into the counting of absentee ballots on Nov.

21. With 83 of the district's 91 precincts reporting, the Victorville businessman trailed the Needles insurance woman by the scant margin of 7,507 to 7,499. Their contest was the only one remain ing from Tuesday's election. BIGGER SHEPPARD LEAD Rep. Harry R.

Sheppard, vet eran uemocratic legislator reelected for his ninth term despite the Republican landslide, had pushed his total vote to 63,204 in 492 precincts out of the County's 509. Vote of his Republican opponent, Superior Judge Carl B. Hilliard, stood at 5L206. Dwight D. Eisenhower's lead over Adlai Stevenson was 68,196 to 51,056, while Sen.

William F. Knowland amassed 94,849 votes to Reuben W. Borough's 11,646. Vote of the new supervisor for the Fifth (San Bernardino) District, James W. Gerrard, was that of his opponent, Phil Warren.

ll.Uob. These are re sults in 128 of the district's 129 precincts. But there was nothing decisive at all in the all-but-complete re turns in the First Supervisorial District. Still to reach the Elec tion Department were tallies from two Needles precincts and one each from Morongo Valley, Hes-peria, Sky Forest, Nipton, Silver Lake and iVanpah. Those all-important absentees in the Lawson-Seals contest there are 1,527 of them were the subject of some intense speculation.

The City of Needles, where Miss Lawson drew a heavy preponderance of votes, has 452 absentee voters, or nearly a third of the total. Victorville has 92, Barstow 76, Baker seven, Calzona 18, Kelso 3, Yermo-Belleville three and a tiny section of the north end of San Bernardino 11. The 805 remaining are scattered throughout the mountain and desert areas. JUDICIAL CONTEST A fairly tight scrap developed in the Yermo-Belleville Judicial District for its judgeship. With all precincts accounted for, James E.

Shope led his opponent, Jerome B. Williams, 480 to 411. Since there were only 63 absentee bal lots issued. Shope emerges the winner. held 3AVE REGULARLY AT SANTA FE DO IT NOW START TODAY and Have Your Savings Earn More PICTURES MODERNS.
