SCHOOLS GIVEN DEFENSE TOOLS
Get Grant From U. S. for Machinery to Enlarge Training Program.
A $269.300 Federal grant for machinery and equipment in the national defense training program in Indianapolis public schools has been made by the Federal Bureau of Education, A. B. Good, public school business director, announced
today. The grant will provide for 180 lathes, planers, grinders and other machinery. Of this number, 140 will be installed at Tech High School, 20 at Manual Training High School and 20 at Washington High School, Mr. Good said. The City is required to inake no matching contribution, Mr. said. but only to furnish shop space. A survey of available space showed that the equipment can be installed in the present high school shops. Mr. Good said the School City will advertise immediately for bids on the needed machinery. It was reported that the sum is an initial expenditure and an additional sum bringing the total to approximately $500,000 will be available to the Indianapolis schools when additional shop space is procured. Mr. Good recently went to Washington and with Rep. Louis Ludlow of Indianapolis filed a request of $423.000. There are approximately 1100 men now enrolled in the defense training classes which have been conducted here for the last year. It is expected that the addition of the new machinery will make it possible to expand enrollment by several hundred. Te make use of available space, classes now" are being conducted in shifts, utilizing nearly every hour of the day and night.

All of the Turners are over six feet tall and each weighs more than 200 pounds! The occasion for the reunion was “Dad” Turner's first visit to Indianapolis to see his son's new $250,000 air school at the Municipal Air-| port.

° War May Bring 2 'Famine’ Ipper ramine NEW YORK, Aug. 20 (U. P.)).— The zipper may disappear from trousers and dresses. The reason is national defense. Zippers are made of copper. Copper is needed in the war effort. The decision as to whether the button will stage a big comeback will be made at a meeting this week between the Amalgamated Garment Manufacturers and the Office of Price Administration and Civilian Suppiy. Dresses account for 756 per cent of zipper production, trousers for most of the remainder. Zipper manufacturers are pessimistic about getting enough metal.
