CCC Nov. 29,.1961 Library Building Financed By Bond Issue Suggested Two Identify SPECIAL MEETING TODAY BETWEEN BOARD, COUNCIL COLTON councilman has spoken out in favor of building a new library facility here. In a letter to fellow councilmen and the library board, Carl T. Rimbaugh recommends that a bond issue pay for the new special, long-awaited meeting between the board and the council scheduled for 4:30 p.m. today at the library to discuss the possibility of a new building.

Rimbaugh said in the letter he was not sure he would be able to attend and gave his views on the matter. "I have read the report of Martha Boaz, a survey of the Colton Library service, facilities, administration, comparisons, personnel and materials, and I am not too enthused with its academic approach. "It is evident that the study does not develop extensive data. "The report of the engineer consultant, Norman A. Neste, impresses me, however, with the inadequacy of our present facility and the need, after 53 years, for a new, library at a new site near our civic center," he said.

He said the new facility should provide study rooms for children as well as a children's library, a senior citizens reading room, research material for business and industry and a public meeting room. The facility should be built with a projected population of 50,000 persons in mind, he said. He also commended the board and library personnel and recommended a system of merit rating and position classification and pay plan.

FONTANA Two victims of the $12,000 Sept. 10 holdup of Food Giant Market have identified a Highland man as the bandit. Fontana police filed a complaint yesterday charging Donald Wesley Schlosser with armed robbery and grand theft auto. Schlosser, who lists 7165 Victoria Highland, as his address, is being held for armed robbery in El Monte, According to Fontana police investigator, Lawrence C. Murray, Schlosser was picked out of a lineup "without hesitation," by Robert 0.

Bundy, assistant grocery manager, and Ted Batross, Food Giant grocery clerk. Schlosser was arrested Saturday, minutes after an 1 El Monte market was robbed of $742. Arrested with him was Gary Dean Graham, 18, a sailor stationed at Miramar Naval Air Station. Sunday morning Schlosser accompanied Murray and San Bernardino and El Monte police to the San Bernardino County dump where 161 checks and a $2 bill totaling $4,783.25 were reported to be hidden. The checks, all of them taken in the Food Giant robbery, were not located at that time; however, Murray and Fontana reserve officers later returned to the dump site and recovered the checks.

In the big Fontana robbery, Bundy, 42, was ordered to put cash in a sack by a gunman who pushed a 45-caliber automatic into the manager's ribs. The gunman had the revolver partially concealed behind a cardboard box when he first confronted Bundy who was at the checkstand counting cash. Bundy and Batross were ordered to open cash registers, and the bandit scooped up a bundle of bills from an open safe, carting the loot off in a tomato lug. The bandit ordered the two employes to snip telephone wires and then fled in Bundy's vehicle. The car was found two blocks from the market.

Murray said Schlosser has given him a statement. Schlosser and Graham were arrested by El Monte police near the Market Basket in El Monte. Nine shots were fired before Graham was stopped. A grocery clerk told police he took pictures of two bandits while the robbery was in process. Police are questioning Schlosser about the $4,000 robbery of Sages' Market in Redlands, a $30 robbery of a San Bernardino grocery store and a burglary at San Bernardino High School.

Highland Area News BOARD TAKES STEPS TO ACQUIRE NEW ELEMENTARY ARY SCHOOL SITE HIGHLAND--The Highland District School Board accepted tentative escrow instructions for two parcels of land needed for the new elementary school site, as submitted at Monday night's adjourned meeting. The Lutheran Church had indicated at the previous regular meet. ing it would accept the district's offer of $17,000 for approximately three acres of land, providing the district would assume the current taxes.

Robert L. McKim, district superintendent, reported to the board that after checking with the County Counsel regarding this matter, it appeared district could legally assume payment of taxes. However, the cost prior to the date escrow instructions are written would have to be paid by the district out of general funds, as the state will not start payment until escrow is started. A letter from Clifford Coy advised the board that he and Mrs. Coy had decided to accept the board's offer of $16,200 for the other parcel involved.

McKim reported that, in an effort to speed things up, he had discussed the matter with the property owners and tentative escrow instructions had been prepared so final action could be taken at Monday's meeting, if desired. McKim also reported he had met with Dr. Lester Jankay last Friday to discuss the purchase of his property, also needed in the 10-, acre site. At that time, Dr. Jankay indicated he was not willing to accept the board's offer of $14,500, indicating he felt he was being unfairly treated since he was getting less money than the church and was giving up more land and also since his property had street frontage on Cole Avenue.

He asked McKim to convey his feelings to the board and requested the trustees to authorize a third appraisal of his land. McKim said he had checked regarding the third appraisal and had been advised that the state never gets more than two appraisals, and if the board decided to grant the request, the cost of this appraisal would have, to be assumed by the district. The board, after discussion, went on record that they were unwilling to accept Dr. Jankay's proposal for the third appraisal. McKim suggested that he try to Army Switching to Dinnerware for 'Home' Atmosphere WASHINGTON (AP) The Army wants its mess halls to seem more like home.

Boy Takes Father's Change, Kills Self HOLLYWOOD (AP) A teenage boy who had taken some change from his father's pants pocket shot himself to death and left a note telling his parents: "You will be able to live without a thief in house."

The father said it totaled less than a dollar. contact Dr. Jankay at his home in Santa Monica during the meeting, in the event that if he decided to accept the board's offer, the board then could proceed with the purchasing of his land. However, McKim indicated after placing the telephone call, that Dr. Jankay would like to think the matter over.

The question of how much time should be allowed was raised, and, following discussion, Norman W. Forrest moved that the board authorize the superintendent to proceed with necessary legal resolution to start condemnation proceedings on the Jankay parcel. Forrest said he felt the board had been more than fair up to this point and there was no reason to hold up the project any longer. The motion was unanimously passed, despite some hesitation on the part of Mrs. Vivian M.

0g- den and Laird K. Roddick to go into condemnation proceedings without giving Dr. Jankay another opportunity to accept the offer. The board instructed McKim to notify Dr. Jankay in writing concerning the decision on the third appraisal and that the board could not legally pay more than was offered, based on the higher of the two appraisals.

Preliminary drawings of the new school plant were studied during the meeting, and McKim said that the school architect would have preliminary plans ready by the Dec. 11 meeting for formal acceptance by the board.
