It was still the hottest June 18 since 1917.

Board members voted to apply for a license and a construction Jermit for the station, but they rtade it clear they were not going to commit any money to the project at least until the preliminary budget is presented July 1. The board acted on a recommendation by the college's Electronics Advisory Committee that Valley College spend $125,000 to start building a television station immediately. WILL KEEP FRANCHISE Trustee Joseph W. Snyder commented that he would not go along with a specific appropriation of funds for the station. He said he felt that merely request-i ing the license and construction permit would prevent the college's losing its franchise on channel 24, which would expire if no action were taken.

The board several months ago: began action on getting a televis quests and trimming another at Redlands. The Sunset and Dearborn reservoirs serving a portion of Redlands went completely dry for a time. By late yesterday afternoon they had recovered slightly and contained about a foot and a half of water.

"No longer can even the finest and most complete college education prepare one fully for the world in which he is to spend the remaining years of his life." He noted that Americans can for the most part look forward to a life that is long, rich and rewarding. He said that lives of the people of this country can be noble also, "if we choose to make them so." Enumerating the freedoms which citizens of this country enjoy he warned that most have become so accustomed to them that we fail to cherish them. VEXING PRORLEM Krdlands City Manager Fred H.

Workman puzzles over problems illustrated by the water gauge. As temperatures went up for the past few days, water levels in two city reservoirs went down. Finally both went dry for a time, leaving dry faucets in part of the city. As the gauge shows, by 5 p.m. yesterday the water level at Dearborn Reservoir had risen to about a foot and a half.

If the council attempted to hold to a 10-cent tax increase, it would be returned to the reservoirs to insure proper pressure for fire protection.
