It was a well directed, well' attended and very interesting Wild West pres- good skipper. These are the reasons I can make this favorable report to you. The buildings throughout the area are in excellent condition. They have been renovated, cleaned and painted where needed. During the past year a library and a lunch room were built at Dragerton; a modern shop installed in the old lunch rooms and the entire school grounds fenced. A beautiful modern elementary building is under construction in Sunnydale. The buildings and equipment are better than they were last year. The children are there in about the same numbers as last year and with a few exceptions they are the same children. You perhaps know some better than I do but I know many very well. They are still intelligent, healthy Americans with a high capacity to assimilate knowledge. The only change here is an all school dance every Friday. Therefore these two sides of this triangle are in very good condition. Lets look at the third the teachers. Most of the teachers in this area have been here for several years. Many have new cars they worked in the mines this summer which shows that they are intelligent. They are certified, qualified and contented. If they didnt like it here they could leave. I will vouch that there isnt a teacher here that doesnt have the price of a ticket to California.

The reason for the joint meeting was the speaker, Sgt. Neil Arnspiger, from Grand Junction, Colorado, recently returned from Korea as a prisoner of war. Sgt. Arnspiger is the brother of Mrs. James Howa, 650 Parkway, Sunnyside. He explained that he went to Korea in August 1950, and was captured December 1, 1950. He was a prisoner of the Communists for 33 months. During these 33 months he had many experiences and learned much of the Mechanism that makes a Communist tick. He came to the conclusion that death is preferable to life behind the bamboo curtain. s. Communists are human They have learned the brutal punishments of the dark ages and concocted some very modern ones. Examples: Small round holes are dug just large enough for a man to sit in in a squatting position with his knees under his chin. He was forced to sit there for hours, even for days. Again his hands are tied behind him with a rope around his neck. He is forced to his toes as the rope is tightened. If he comes to a foot position he is strangled. There he teters between cramped toes and a broken neck. Several times he marched long forced distances and at one time he went 16 days without food. ' Later he became a member of a labor battalion. His work was to help in a logging operation. After the logs were ready two men carried them to the - mill Sometimes the distance was six miles and once the log was raised there were no rest periods.
