It is under the direction of Co-Chair- Federal Aid For Vocation School Upped A supplementary grant of $212,- 800 in Appalachia Aid for the Eastern Delaware area vocation al education building has been ap proved by the Appalachian Re gional Commission in Washington. In addition to this grant, $475,- 000 in federal funds was previous ly allotted to this project. This •brings the total federal aid to $687,800. It is anticipated that state aid will amount to approx imately $201,107. This will leave a balance of $61,093 to be con tributed by the 12 participalang school districts for the new $9^,- 000 vocational education building to be erected in Grand Gorge. Of the total project cost, Federal aid amounts to 72.4 per cent State Aid will account for an additional 21.2 per cent and the local cost vwU, come to $6.4 per cent. Representatives of the 12 schools met with Architect Warren H. Ashley of West Hartford, Conn., recently and approved preliminary building sketches. Preliminary sketches were submitted to the State Education Department on June 22. These were approved with minor changes. It is expected that final build ing plans £uid specifications wiU be completed about Sept. 1, and it is hoped that contracts for con struction can be let about Oct. 1, 1967. Plans are being made to occupy the new facility in,^eptem- ber of 1968. The plan provides for the erec tion of two separate buildings, with all shop facilities located in one building and the other instruc tional facilities in the second building. Provision will be made for the following shops: auto me- chlbiics, building constraction, ma sonry, carpentry, electricity, con servation, agricultural production and agricultural mechanization. The second building, or “quiet area,” will contain facilities for; cosmetology, health service, house hold maijagement, food services, drafting and blueprint reading, office practice, secretarial prac tice, bookkeeping, distributive ed ucation and administrative offices.

There will be a kick-off meet ing Tuesday at S p. m. at the Margaretville Methodist church for village chairmen, captains and team members. In annouocing the dates of the drive Mr. Sluiter said that from experience gained last summer it seems best for both those who have volunteered to work and those who will be called on, to have the effort concentrated over a short period of time. Pledges will be sought over the next three years from those who were not contacted last summer. In addition there are nearly 100 fEimilies who gave outright con tributions and said they would consider another gift if solicited again. There are also several others who ^ have indicated they would increase pledges made a year ago. While last summer’s campaign was considered highly successful in raising nearly $400,000, it is still necessary to reach the orig inal goal of $600,000 if a modern $1.5 million hospital is to be realized. Mr. Kolar, who is also campaign treasurer, has announced addition al pledges from the hospital staff, directors and employes of $16,200 toward the second phase of the fund drive.
