HOPEFULS VYING FOR GLENDALE POSITION; COUNCIL MUST APPOINT AIRPORT COMMISSIONER.Byline: Lee Condon Staff Writer Lately it's become one of the toughest jobs in local politics, but 10 men have submitted their names to enter the competition to become Glendale's newest airport commissioner. The Glendale City Council is expected to take up the matter next month. They are faced with finding a permanent replacement for Carl Raggio. The former Glendale mayor quit the Burbank-Glendale-Pasadena Airport Authority because council members were trying to dictate how he should vote on airport issues.

It will be the first permanent commission appointment since a new pro-Burbank majority has been elected to the Glendale council. The new majority has called for Glendale commissioners to support a mandatory curfew curfew [O.Fr.,=cover fire], originally a signal, such as the ringing of a bell, to damp the fire, extinguish all lights in the dwelling, and retire for the night. The custom originated as a precaution against fires and was common throughout Europe in the Middle Ages. on night flights and to be more sympathetic to Burbank's complaints about noise. Previous council majorities had been supportive of the airport's once very ambitious expansion plans. Since then, the airport has agreed to greatly scale back its expansion. Under the deal, the airport will have to secure a mandatory curfew on night flights in order to build a new terminal with more than the 14 gates in place at the current facility. The candidates for the job are: Harvey Terry Buchanan, a real estate broker and past president of a pro-expansion group called Friends of Burbank Airport; Tim Nichols, a pilot and owner of a construction company that builds homes and office buildings; John Patrick
