that despite unsettled conditions
throughout the nation and the

Americans to provide a generous
0htlrch attendance on Easter Sun-
day, Reports are that all denom-
inations enjoyed the presence of
record crowds last weekend. And
after all, one thing this ountry
has that Russia lacks, is a fun-

NEW COURSE FOR
FRESHMEN NEXT YEAR
AT LASSEN J, C.
Next September Lassen Junior
College will offer a course, re-
quired of all freshmen, tentatively
title, College Orientation.
The class will meet once a
week, and will have a value of
one credit. Frequent individual
conferences with the instructor
are planned. In order to include
all freshmen it is possible that
two sections will be scheduled.
The decision to offer the course
came after consideration and
study by administration and staff.
Same of the eonsideratlons were
there: (i) Few freshmen students
know wiht certainty what they are
best suited for, educationally and
vocationally for the reason that
(2) few students know their own
potentialities and limitations; (3)
students frequently have difficulty
ad3"uting to the more intense study
required in certain areas of the
junior college; (4) a more thor-
ough knowledge of the junior col-
lege, curricular and extra-curricu-
lar, is, desirable in order to make
the adjustment eaaier.

HOSPITAL ASSURED FOR
CHESTER: STATE, U. S.
TO AID FINANCE
A hospital .seems asured for
Chester.
Long, involved negotiations with
the state department of public
health and the federal government
have been climaxed successfully
with assurance of sufficient add-
ed funds to go ahead with the
hospital.
The initial plans will .be revised,
reducing the original 8500 square
feet planned to 7000 square feet,
to permit construction with avall-
Jble funds. The plans will be only
partially redrawn.
It is estimated that bids will
be received by June 1. Construc-
tion is expected to start shortly
after.
The state and federal agencies
have agreed to #lnance added
cost in line with new bids, if this
is necessary.
The plans are to be revised on
a master-plan basis, so the de-
leted section can be added later
when need demands.
The fact that Chester had voted
a majority, 58 per cent, in favor,
just short of the required two-
thirds majority to pass, on the
proposed special assesment to
raise more funds locally was in-
fluential in favorable decisions by
the state and federal governments
now.
