R6SEBUR5 REWS-REVIEW, ROSEBURS, ORESON, THURSDAY, AUGUST 21', 1947 NINE School Opening at Myrtle Creek Set MYRTLE CREEK It has been definitely decided to open the Myrtle Creek public schools Mon day, Sept. 15, at 9 A.M.. it was announced by Superintendent Ivan C. Parker. All but two teachers have been hired. High school students will register before school begins. The freshmen will register Monday, Sept. 8; sophomores on Tuesday, Sept. 9; juniors on Wednesday, Sept. 10, and seniors on Thursday, Sept. 11. There will be no regis trations Friday, Sept. 12, because of teachers' meetings to be held that day. Grade school students will reg ister with their teachers the first day of school. Students should know which school district they are from and how far they live from the school. This information is especially important this year, as the school district is reim bursed by the state for transpor tation on a mileage basis, Parker said. A postcard questionnaire is being mailed to each box holder from the Myrtle Creek post of fice, and on it parents are asked to indicate the number of chil dren which they will have from their family attending each grade. ' This information is "badly need ed" to prepare for adequate trans portation and scheduling of grade school classes.

DONNELL AP Newsfeatures PHOENIX, Ariz. Scientifical ly built air-conditioned motor caravans are rolling over the hot sands of Arabia in search of oil. They were constructed in the plant of the Arizona Iron Works where additional caravans are now being made. Each caravan consists of three trailers built to specifications drawn up by Bert Beverley, head geologist of the Arabian-American Oil Co., and designed by Alex ander C. MacKenzle, designing engineer for the Standard Oil Co. of California. The trailers are equipped with synthetic rubber tires, four feet high and 14 inches across. Nor mal air pressure is 20 pounds, al though the tires can be used with as little as 10 pounds. Each unit has sheet aluminum sides and roofs. In the walls are two inches of insulation and on the roof, four inches to protect those inside from the 130 degree daytime temperatures. In addition to the trailers, 81 passenger personnel carriers not air conditioned have been built to take native laborers into the oil fields. Thirty-two of these carriers have been constructed In the past year. ' Training Class Planned for 'Gray Ladies,' Organizafion Aiding Hospitalized Veterans A training class for hospital and recreation workers "The Gray Ladles" under auspices of the Douglas County Chapter of the American Red Cross is scheduled to start Sept. 16, it was announced by Mrs. Edward Titcomb, chairman of the local Hospital and Recreation Corps. Volunteers for the class will at tend a 10-hour lecture course. Following a 20-hour probationary period of service under the direc tion of the Senior Gray Ladies, they must promise to serve a minimum of 50 hours a year in the Roseburg Veterans Hospital.. The present group of Gray Ladies has given an average of 13 hours a month each to hospital service or 156 hours a year, Mrs. Titcomb said. Applications for the class will be received, starting Sept. 1, at the chapter offices in the Rose burg Armory. The Gray Ladles get their name from the official uniform, which consists of a gray cotton dress, low-heeled white shoes, and white or neutral stockings. In addition to the uniform, the Gray Ladies wear a white coronet with a short gray veil, or a white cap. The scope of the activities of the corps is wide and therefore cannot be completely defined. The Gray Ladies act as hostesses in recreation rooms, greet visitors, and create a friendly atmosphere and perform errands for the patients. They also serve in the library, play games with individuals or groups, serve as translators and interpreters, instruct classes in music appreciation, and teach Yoncalla YONCALLA Mr. and Mrs. Turner are being congratulated on the arrival of a son, born Aug. 16.
