FRIDAY MORNING, SEPTEMBER 27, 1940, STATE COLLEGE, PA.
H. S. Graduates
Get CAA Training
An experiment which might
bring thousands of superior high
school graduates under the same
type of federal pilot training pro
gram now operating in colleges is
approaching its final test at Al
toona.
On October 6, examiners for the
U. S. Army will submit tests there
to a picked group of 21 high school
graduates who have been 'given an
intensive 12-week “refresher”
course by the extension services
of the College. If successful in the
tests, these youths would be class
ed as having the equivalent of two
years' college education thus
meeting the Army’s basic educa
tional requirement for pilot train
ees.
“The purpose,” said J. O. Keller,
assistant to President Ralph D.
Hetzel in charge of extension, “is
to determine for the Civil Aeron
autics Administration if definitely
superior high school graduates
throughout the country can be
made eligible through such
courses, thereby supplementing
the reservoir of college pilots.
CAA officials estimate that such
a program might add as many as
20,000 new eligibles per year.”
The College is giving instruction
at seven non-college centers which
are 'located at Matanioras, Sun
bury, Dußois, Waynesboro, Con
nellsville, Somerset, and Oil City.
Altogether there are 12 non-college
centers in the state and 200 in the
nation.

of Public Safety and originator of
the course.

by a Pennsylvania Motor Police
representative who has been es
pecially assigned here for the driv
er’s examinations and advisory
purposes.

Chief Juba EstimafeslOQ
Students Get Tickets
Over 400 car owners'were warn
ed by borough police that they had
violated the ordinance forbidding
all night parking on streets by tags
left on their cars between 2 and 6
a.m. yesterday.
Chief of Police John R. Juba
estimated that approximately 10Q
student-owned cars were tagged.
Violators were informed by the
tags that, “This first card is a
warning . . . You will be fined $2
if this -ticket is not signed and re
turned to the Police Office within
48 hours.”
If the tag is returned to the
Police Office by tonight, no fine
will he levied. Each car owner is
required to state the reason for his
parking on the street.
According to information ap
pearing on the tag, persons who
have no garages must make ar
rangements with the Burgess and
Council before they will be allow
ed to park all night on the streets.
From the statement on the tag,
it is expected that persons who
can show that they have no other
place to park their cars may be
allowed to park on the streets.
Since parking in alleys is permit
ted, few such cases are expected
to arise.
