In commenting on this matter. »frvefal months in Trinidad, British
Rhodes stated that the Van school West Indies, serving with the Canb-
was indeed fortunate in being able bean Division of the Air Transport
to secure this equipment free of Command as Flight Traffic Clerk and
charge (except for freight and pack- Air Transportation Technician. He is

of their shop equipment was lost in mother, Mrs. George Desha,
the disastrous fire that occured
last December. This drill press is a
heavy duty type and is worth several
hundred dollars. As a matter of fact,
it is a better piece of equipment than
the drill press which the school lost
in the fire, Superintendent Rhodes
stated.
He added that his investigation of
surplus government equipment that
is now available for schools leads him
to believe that the cause of public
education is being served unusually
well as a result of the government’s
program in distributing surplus war
materials and equipment to schools
throughout the country.
