MORE BUILDINGS OR MORE TEACHERS Many new educational buildings will be planned and built in the next decade. Buildings are staid old things 'and once built do not lend themselves to change or alteration. Educators expect us to build many more buildings than the taxpayer will be able to afford. Educators can afford to change their way of thinking. This is what should be done: At present educational buildings are utilized to capacity on an average of seven hours per day. What happens to the rest of the day from three to ten p. m.? During that period Am. Fork Citizen 29 January 1949 Dear Members of the Citizen Staff: I have been intending to get this off to you many times, thanking you for sending the citizen to me every week. I enjoy reading it and I'm afraid I wouldn't know much about what is going on back there without it. Just because I'm a long ways from home doesn't mean I don't like to know what is going on, even more so, I guess, than if I were there. From the reports I am getting I take it I picked the right year to join the Navy. While you are having all that snow we are enjoying en-joying almost spring weather. I think we have had snow not more than two weeks this winter. Believe it or not, the grass is still green and has been ever since I arrived here the 3rd of October. I was very lucky to get duty on a shore station like this. I have to admit I have had the breaks consists of computing pay for the crews of two suomanuw one rescue craft. They are: The USS Corsair, USS Requin and the USS Petrel. Combined l have 303 men I have to pay twice (a month. I enjoy my work very muu and I guess one of the biggest reasons is because my Disbursing Officer trusts me. Out of an office force of 35, there are on y five that she allows to handle her cash and receipts. I am one of them. Just tolay I helped her pay out $18,635.00. After that l am very glad when our books balance, believe me! She has told me that I can have thirty days leave any time after tne first of March. So maybe I win be home around the middle of April. I am planning on it any way. Since I have been here I have made many friends both here and in Hartford where I spend most cf my liberty. I have visited visit-ed New York four times and, believe be-lieve me, it is plenty big! There is always something to do and for for the service men the the building becomes a drain on the tax dollar. Educators will say, "we can't run two shi'fts of school." It is a changing world we cannot afford to have our buildings idle. More teachers can be hired others will work longer hours until the supply meets the demand. School teachers are productive, they are taxable entities school buildings are not. A specific instance the Salt Lake Area Vocational school could well occupy space at night in the university plant. Working agreements could be had between state and districts in several instances. Every school district should immediately take stock of their situation it is soothing and ambitious to dream of millions for new buildings, but a swing shift in the old build ing will do as well. into tin sv ... may save you lots of winter starting grief UTOCO) .
