Central High Notes
' i
To celebrate the presentation of the
trophy case, which took place yester
day in chapel, a banquet was held
l&st evening in the Y. M. C. A. for the
ii'.embers of the Centralian Society of
Central High School. Senator Bci
dleman presented the trophy case on
behalf of the Centralian Society and
Principal il. G. Dibble accepted it
for the school. During his address
the Senator called attention to the
fact that, although Central has won
many trophies in track, basketball
and football, only a very few stu
dents knew of their existence be
cause there was no proper place to
display them. He also expressed the
licpo that when the school is no
lenger co-educational the trophy case
may remain with the girls. The boys
can win new laurels. At the ban
iliet, which was given in the Y. M.
C. A. last evening, a representative
from the boys' clubs and Principal
Dibble, John A. F. Hall, Bertram
Saul, Arch Dinsmore and Robert
Reeves, of the Y. M. C. A., were the
honor guests. William Kay, of Phil
adelphia, an active member of the

Chapel Announcement*
It was announced in chapel yester
day that Dr. Freund, who was in
Central High School last week, in
commenting on the songs of the

from such an authority on music,
such favorable criticism is highly ap
preciated. Dr. Freund asked to have
copies of the song sent to him.

bate with the Hazleton debating

PLANE PROGRAM NOT
UP TO EXPECTATIONS
[Continued From First Page.]
furnished to meet all resuirements of
the troops in France.
One-man control of production is
proposed and the committee sug
gests that building be taken entirely
out of the hands of the Signal Corps.
Delay is charged not only in the
manufacture of Liberty motors and !
machine parts, but in the training l
of flyers as well.
President to Name Administrator
The committee recommended that
the one-man administrator be ap
pointed by the President and assist
ed by a corps of expert engineers
and designers. It /suggested that
"no mar\ w"ho has any near or re
mote interest In a company manu- 1
facturing airplanes or engines should
be permitted to act as adviser or be
in authority."
The Liberty motor,, the committee
declared, "is just emerging from the
development or experimental stage" j
Aid "is not designed for or can be
used in the swift single-seated fight-1
ing machines." Of 22,500 Liberty
motors ordered, the committee said.
Only 122 have been completed for
the Army, 142* for the Navy and four
shipped overseas.
"The production 6f Liberty mo
tors to date is, of course, gravely
disappointing," says the report.
"Government officials . . . have
made the mistake of leading the
public and the allied nations to the
belief that many thousands of these
motors would be completed in the
spring of 1918. Information of this
sort, not borne out by the facts, has
been injurious, and its constant dis
semination the committee regards
as misleading and detrimental to our
cause."
Xo Planes For Cadets In Training
Regarding the training of avl
tors, the committee found there has
been "very serious delay" in pro
viding them with training planes.
"As a result," -the report says,
"several hundred of the American
cadets have been virtually idle and
have made no progress."
About 1.200 cadets were sent to
England, France and Italy last year
to receive primary and advanced
training.
"The experience of a great many
of these men has been most unfor
tunate," says, the report, "in that at
some of the schools a very serious
delay has occurred in providing
them with training planes which it
was expected would be manufac
tured in sufficient number.
"About 450 of them are reported
as having completed the primary
training after long delay. The Sig
