THE ARCATA UNION --Published daily-- EDITOR AND OWNER-- FRED BANDUCCI SUBSCRIPTION FREE EDITORIAL We noticed in another daily of this city that thc proposed new high school building will be inadequatc in a few years at the pres- tnt rate the city is growing Lutting all grudges and prejudices go for the pres- .nt, we are happy to knou that Herb 'rt Yocom, of The Arcata Times, at last agrees with us in all re- spects concerning the pro, posed building. Now vot- ers, why not give Arcata 2 school that can take care ol its share of students, ant' not crowd the rest of the high schools. In the spec- ial election, vote in favor of a. larger school, or a, blot will be placed on Arcata'r future. All of you will realize that even at the present time the Humbo1d1 State Teachers College, de- spite its last addition of 200 acres to the agricultural de- partment, is now too small for its enrollment of 6,500. We cannot afford to make two mistakes of the same kind. Vote No. Mr. and Mrs. Reuben An- derson flew to Hawaii Sat- urday, and returned the next day. They reported' an unexclting trip, with the exception of two cyclones in Mid-Pacific. HELEN GRAHAM'S Beauty Svlrnppr Curling of Men's Goatees A SPECIALTY 14 Capable Assistants LISTEN TO MARS!

Spitnickels, airmail rob- bers de luxe, came to their grief early yesterday when our watchful Chief-of Police, Daven Devlin, and his force of two, foiled ar lttempt to rob the New Or- ,cans-Arcata Mail Planc while it was flying ovei Pickle Hill. Aided by a fast Airford puncture-prooi glane, and by skilful man- .uvezing by the chief, thc :lane waited on a branch oi Lhe Lone Redwood, or. Fickle Hill, until the on- eoming planes were a short listance away. Our Chief waiting for the exact mo- nent to strike, opened up Sire with his four inch can- 'ron. The first shot found its mark, for the robbers were compelled to stop their plane in mid-air for repairs. In the meantime, Chiei Devlin sped to them, and when the robbers found their plight, they immedi- ately surrendered. They are lodged in the Arcata, jail, pending trial.

Albert Lima, graduate of the Arcata Union High School in 1925, returned to his home town yesterday after an absence of eighteen years spent in touring the world as a demonstrator and salesman for the fam- ous Neversink Dirigible Company, of Sweden. His travels have taken him to all the countries of the world, including Kamchat- ka, where he thrilled thous- ands of natives with unbe- lievable stunts. ' Lima, or 'tMicky , as he was called in his high school days in Arcata, star- ring for his alma mater, is very glad to see his home town again.

ARCATA UNION, JUNE 5, 1945. PAGE 3 Z ARCATA HIGH TO GRADUATE 200 FRIDAY Largo class to receive their shvcpskins The high school auditor- ium will be the scene of commencement next Fri- day evening. Two hundred will rcceive their diplomas from Principal Chester Groom. The honorary speaker of the evening will be Mrs. George Piebald Hy- potenuse, formerly Miss Constance Brett, a. gradu- ate of Arcata high with the class of 1925, and now recognized as the wor1d's greatest poet. Mrs. Hyjo- tenuse's fame is due to a new jazzo-rhythmus meter in poetry, the inspir- ation for which she attri- butes to her flapper days in Arcata. The most popular of her poems with its re- curring refrain Oh boy!- U-U-U-reka boy! is claim- ed by critics to be the most onomatapoetic of modern verse. QEureka, it will be re- membered by the old tim- ers, was the county seat, but now forms the ' southern- most part of this city.l The honor roll of the Senior class which has been announced, includes the following: Morris Nelson, Jr., Regi- nald Nelson, Len Yocom, Elleva Hemphill, and Shiekla Groom. We are indeed glad that our principal's daughter, Shiekla, has achieved this distinction, for she has thereby justified her fath- er's theory and proved that his act of eliminating all mathematics from grade and high school curricula- an act which has revolution- ized educational methods throughout the nation, was the most important pro- gressive school movement of the century. We are in- deed grateful to Mr. Groom for sacrificing his Broad- way career and returning to us. PERSONALS William Tuohey, lawyer, reported last evening that his S100,000 yacht, McKit- trick, was stolen from the Arcata slough yesterday. Chief of Police Daven Dev- lin already has several in custody. 1 UN ION EDITOR RECEIVES FAR AWAY LETTER The morning mail has brought word from Nora, Raab that she now is locat- ed at the South Pole, where she is doing missionary work and boosting the Red- woodless Highway among the Wosquimos.

I , limi' .1 A in , x XXX .1 TO BUILD VVIG FACTORY ON FICKLE HILL Bobbcd hair 1-age passes out, and wigs come to fore. Causes L. Phase to build factory Miss Lottie Chase, a re- nt visitor to Arcata, hcr home town, has announced the purchase of a large tract of land near the Hanrahan ce residential district in Kneeland Prairie, fro111 Mrs. Bohunkus Pease Por- ridge, nee Helen Hanrahan, of Arcata. Miss Chase plans to leave at once for the Panama Canal, where she will marry and then return to Arcata to start work on a factory that will manu- facture women's wigs. The wig craze, which has supplanted the bobbed hai1', is rapidly increasing in popularity. It is rumored that our Chamber of Com- merce Secretary, Harold Hemphill, has ordered a special one for his wife. We suggest that he needs one for himself. The coming of the new factory will do a great deal in putting Arcata on the women's apparel map. VVUXTRA! ! ! Several thousand people in the vicinity of the Arcata plaza saw a. rare sight yes- terday when James Parton, rancher in Trinity County, rode into town on a. four- footed animal, formerly called a horse. The two are lodged in the Hotel Ar- cata, where they are on ex- hibition. COMING!!
