Central Valley district, it was pointed out for example, is a consolidated district including the old Saltese, Opportunity, Greenacres, Liberty Lake, Chester, Vera and Lone Fir districts. It has taken many years to learn the problems of this consolidated district, and yet another consolidation is being faced, some officials say.

Additional services cost money, opponents of consolidation say. Others feel that it will be difficult to get competent directors to do the greater amount of work. By AL DIEFFENBACH The main objection of those opposing the proposed all-Valley school district consolidation would appear to be that con solidation would take away "local rule" of the schools. Most districts are small enough that parents are in close and familiar touch with the administration. Opponents of a united district fear that this "autonomy" would end if the consolidation measure is approved in the Valley election March 5.

Geiger Seeks Bids Close Joints Arthur W. Fahrenwald of Moscow, formerly dean of the University of Idaho's school of mines, today was named the Inland Empire's "engineer of the year." One of four engineers nominated for the title by the Spokane chapter of the National Society of Professional Engineers, he will be honored at the chapter's annual banquet this evening at the Desert hotel. Announcement of his selection was made by Wi lho E. Williams, president of the chapter. The other nominees were Emmett B.

Moore, chairman of Washington State college's department of civil engineering; La Vern M. Griffith of Kellogg, Bunker Hill company manager of plant service, and Kendall M. Wood, operator of a Spokane engineering firm. Williams said each of the three will receive certificates of outstanding service to the engineering profession. James G.

Mc Given of Spokane, dean of Gonzaga university's department of engineering, will be master of ceremonies at the banquet this evening. He was named "engineer of the year" last year. Principal speaker will be Kinsey M. Robinson, president of the Washington Water Power company. FREIGHT HAULERS'.

WILL HEAR TALK Lawrence Taylor, interstate commerce commission representative here, will address a noon meeting of representative groups of shippers and line haul carriers here Tuesday. He will discuss ICC regulations governing payment of freight bills and the seven-day statutory limits. Motor freight operators report. edly have complained that several of their customers in this area have ignored the seven-day-pay. ment rule.

Invitations to clean out (and seal) the "joints" at Geiger field were sent out today by the national guard bureau office at Tacoma. The bid information referred to Joints and cracks in the concrete apron and hangar floor in the Washington air national guard area at Geiger. The "Joints" will be closed some time after the March 20 bid opening date. An all-Valley district would be too large and scattered and cumbersome to handle, its opponents say. Also, they say, the larger district would have so many complex problems an administrator could not handle them competently.

Bonds and millage levies would be tougher to promote, some Valley residents feel, if the consolidation plan is approved. Some Valley patrons have criticized the "majority" rule which will govern the results of the election. The results will be counted on an area-wide total, rather than an individual district total. In other words. if one district votes 100 per cent against the proposal, but 60 per cent of the total votes in the seven districts are favorable, the measure will be considered approved.

Junior Highs Eyed A conflict also will arise, opponents of consolidation fear, as to whether the junior high school system should be made district-wide if the consolidation plan is approved CV now has the 6-3-3 plan (six-year grade school, three-year junior high and three-year high school) others operate under the 8-4 plan (eight-year grade school, four-yeat high). School districts in the Valley now are eligible for state matching funds of up to 85 per cent of building costs. Central Valley, because of its rapid growth, has received up to the high amount in some cases. 1 If consolidation is approved, this percentage would drop to about 38 per cent, a fact sheet put out by the CV citizens' lay committee said. However, a fact sheet produced by an Orchard Park citizens committee said the figure would be 53 per cent.

Questioned on the point, Van W. Emerson, county school superintendent, said the 38 per cent figure "probably does not include an (upward) adjustment for growth factors." The 53 per cent figure "could be" correct, he said. The state aid percentage is figured by a complicated mathematical formula involving many variables.

The emergency clause, which would make the approved bill effective soon after passage, was changed to make it effective within one year of passage, Herrmann said. Introduced shortly after two train-auto accidents at a Spokane Valley crossing, the bill is being cosponsored by Herrmann, Senator John Cooney (D-Spokane) and Don Talley An excellent display of the earliest spring blooms will be ready for flower lovers this week end at the Manito greenhouses, Park Superintendent Harold T.

Abbott said today. He said the blooms, including the various types of narcissus, hyacinth and cyclamen, are in excellent condition. Abbott said the greenhouses will be open from 8 a. m. until dark.

A "do pass" recommendation was put on senate bill 348, dealing with railroad warning lights and signals, as the bill came out of the judiciary committee today. State Senator Karl V. Herrmann (3-Millwood), one of the sponsors of the bill, said a few amendments were made to it. As drawn now, the measure would require automatic warning bells and flashing red lights on all railroad crossings in the state where motor vehicle traffic is 1500 or more vehicles per day. Senator Herrmann said there are about 3000 such crossings in the state.

In a telephone call to the Chronicle, Herrmann said the judiciary (Tomorrow's article will describe the views of residents of the individual school districts and discuss what might happen if the March 5 consolidation proposal is voted down.) .710 ..,4,,,,,,,, 4.4 I 4.io;'.,;,:6,:,,A:r,g:: NI :4, .4 ,,4 14,,,. 1:, 'It 44: I i 41I1ii 4.4.. kl 400 3 1 1 I I 14i: Visitors to Pakistan Find Answers.

Gerald D. Bletcher, resident army engineer at Fairchild air force base, reported the bids were submitted with the two alternptes of asphalt and concrete. Which would be accepted was not known here. Bids submitted in order, asphalt first and concrete second, were: Gibbons Reed, $2,671,862 and Morrison Knudsen, $2,348,997 and Peter Kiewit Sons, Longview, no asphalt hid and $2,717,765, and Donald M.

But the question as to why he came to the Spokane diocese was much easier to answer: Two other priests from Holland in this diocese spent a vacation last year in their homeland and they told him much about this part of the country, their work here and the shortage of priests in the Spokane diocese.

They are the Rev. Cornelius Verdoorn of Twisp and the Rev. John Rompa of Lacrosse and Colfax. Father Van der Leyden had Father Verdoon as a pupil in one of his philosophy classes in Roosendaal, Holland, and he plans to spend a few days with him at Twisp prior to his assignment to a parish. Father Van der Heyden studied In England prior to his ordination and he spent 10 years teaching in Indies "And once you've been out of A Dutch priest who's been teaching philosophy since his ordination 16 years ago in Holland has come to the United States and the Spokane catholie diocese, "hoping to practice what I've been preaching."

Sometimes you feel attracted to a coun Holland and have gotten to know some of the rest of the world, then you don't feel at home in Holland anymore," he said. He's spent considerable time reading about the United States and has heard much about it from many others, including American soldiers, so he's found the United States just what he expected, including its size, he said.

Ile does have a few things he'd like to have the opportunity to observe here, however, and one of these is American family life. Father Van der Ileyden was ordained in Roosendaal in July, 1940, "Just after the Germans invaded Holland," he explained. Ile taught in a seminary there five years and then spent 10 years teaching philosophy in a seminary In southern India, at Nei lore. His classes were taught in English. A secular priest, Father Van der Heyden was on home leave In Holland the past year.
