Growers are greatly concerned about labor for the harvest
season. Only a limited numbor of Mexican workers will
bo available and no prisoners
placed almost entirely upon
states, and this means very largely students from high
schools and upper grades.
Many rural schools do not plan to start their fall term
until after the prune harvest, but delayed opening offers
mnny probloms to larger schools, which ordinarily begin
during the first two weeks of September.
One handicap to planning lies in the fact that the date
for starting prune harvest
be ready for picking until late in September, in which case
several weeks of school might be lost unnecessarily.
Consideration is being given a plan by which schools
would begin on dates originally planned. Students willing
to work in the prune harvest would be organized into
platoons. A certain number of platoons would be used in
the orchards for a definite period of time and then would
bo replaced by the second group. Thus, roughly one-half
of the volunteers would be kept in school at all times and,
at the close of the fruit harvest, all would have reached the
same point of advancement in their courses.
Students in junior and senior high schools would be
affected. Rural school students who live nearer the
orchards and children from

Kafonen Emerges
Tops In Tourney
For Title Chance
Paavo Katonen, the durable
Finn, who lost his Pacific coast
light heavyweight wrestling
crown to Jack Klser several
months ago, will have an oppor
tunity to regain the crown, hav
ing won the right to meet the
present title holder In a champ
ionship match, through rough
victories Saturday night in elim
ination matches at the Roseburg
armory.
Katonen beat Tex Hager In
the first of the tournament mat
ches, taking one fall In the 30
minute engagement. Walter
Sjneezc Achiu, the rubberball
Chinese wrestler, beat Buck
Davidson, but was twice a victim
of Katonen's deadly hangman's
noia in tne nnai matcn.
Hager and Katonen gave the
crowd an exciting 30 minutes In
the opener, the Finn taking the
first fall in 18 minutes and 30
seconds on a series of headlocks
and body slams. Neither wrest
ler could gain a fall in the re
maining period of time.
Aohiu Wins Rough Bout
The roughness of the Achlu-
Davldson match had the crowd in
an uproar and one of the female
fans had to be subdued by the
police after attacking Davidson
with the heel of her shoe while
the "Meanie" was trylne to crawl
off the mat.
DavMson took the first fall in
17 minutes with a Boston crab
hold but succumbed in 11 and
one-half minutes to a series of
arm locks and a body press to
drop the second round. Achlu was
given tne decision by Keferee
Owens at -the end of the time
limit.
Hangman Hold Wins
Battling for the right to meet
Kiser for the title, Katonen and
Achiu staged a real thriller in
the final 30-mlnute period. The
Finn absorbed terrific punish
ment during the first ten minutes
but took advantage of a mom
entary lapse by Achiu to seize
his favorite Hangman's hold.
Apparently angered by the
Finns roughness, Achiu opened
the second round with a series
of body butts, coupled with a few
haymakers to the jaw, flopping
Katonen in exactly one minute.
Katonen went on the defensive
in the early part of the third
round, blocking the renewed but
ting attock of his veteran Chinese
opponent and finished the match
after seven minutes with a series
of body slams culminating again
in his Hangman's hold, applied
with sufficient force to leave.
Achiu almost unconscious in the
ring.
