Ta Seek Appropriation A supplementary appropriation will be asked of the legislature, provided the barracks are turned over to the state. It was expec ted that veterans would predomi nate in the first years enroll ment, Paulson declared. The board approved a program for 1947 and 1948 under which teachers regularly certified in other states or by cities of-100,000 or more population, must have 20 quarter hours of study beyond the requirements for high school, with eight of the 20 hours credited since March, 1943, to leach in Oregon. This rule applies to teachers who have less education. Certificate Flaa Favored The idea of revising the present regular high school certification, including four years training for a provisional certificate, but five years eventually for a regular certificate, also was approved. A fee schedule for physical restora tion service in the rehabilitation division was presented to the board. The board also acted favorably on a plan making it possible for the blind to receive greater op portunity in the business field. Expansion of the on - the - job training program in the public schools with federal assistance also was approved by the board. This will be the last meeting ! of the board before the 1947 legis lature convenes.

In a memorandum report on briefs submitted by the plaintiffs and defendant.

Road Program Continuance To Be Sought Continuance by the states of the post war highway construc tion program beyond July 1. 1948, when existing federal aid alloca tions expire, will be sought when congress meets in January, R. H. Baldock, state highway engineer announced upon his return here Monday from Los Angeles where he attended a meeting of the American Association of State Highway Officials. The state of Oregon, under fed eral allocations, received $21, 000,000 of government highway aid funds and $3,400,000 of forest ry money for the current three year period. The present post war program started July 1, 1945. Baldock said the association ap proved a resolution asking for an extension of time in which to expend current federal aid funds until July 1. 1949. This was neces sary, he said, because of time lost in getting contracts under ! way due to material shortages . and lack of manpower. Baldock was elected vice-pre- sident of the association He pre- I viously served, as a member of ! the executive committee. Most j states reported that a large part of their federal funds have been incumbered by highway contracts. Schoenfeld Tells C. of C. of Trip to England Machinery sent on lend lease from the United States to Eng land during the war, such as combines, were well liked and have made certain a good market for goods when available, Wil liam Schoenfeld, dean of the school of agriculture and director of extension at Oregon State col lege, told members of the Salem Chamber of Commerce Monday noon. The methods used by the Eng lish to become as nearly as possi ble self-sustaining following Dun kirk were outlined by the Oregon man as he saw and learned of it on a recent trip to the British Isles. The talk was illustrated with colored slides made from pictures taken at the time he was traveling about the islands. To stress the strong organiza tion of farmers who directed the self-sustaining campaign, pictures of Windsor castle with the farm lands of King George were shown. On this farm grain was harvested with old style equipment although combines were used when avail able. Even King George, the farm er, was compelled by the coun ty committee to use old-fashioned methods where the equipment was still serviceable.

Burr Miller, who retires as president January 1. shown each4 afternoon through! Dece sober 31.
