STANTON Included in the forthcoming school budget will be a tenta tive epproprii'tion to cover employment of a building main tenance superintendent While this item is an addition to the budget, it will prove one of saving rather than expense, in our opinion. Not only would a maintenance superintendent keep buildings in better condition than at present, but he would be able to make many minor improvements at com paratively little cost, while reducing annual maintenance charges and giving longer life to the various structures, We have personally examined some of the school buildings and have inquired into matters about whkh complaint has been raised iy patrons. It is our opinion that few of these complaints could not be satisfied by application of a few gallons of paint and a considerable amount of elbow grease We have had, for instance, a number of reports about conditions at the Benson school. In company with some of the member? of the budget committee ws recently visited this building. The Benson school building is a good structure. It is well built and has many years of life left if given proper attention, Much complaint has been received concerning toilets for both boys and girls. Those complaints are well founded. The rooms are badly in need of paint. Toilet seats are cracked, warped and improperly maintained. Application of soap and water would work wonders Coupled with paint, replacement of broken seats, installa tion of spring seats on toilets in the boys' lavatory, and a general cleaning, the faults could be completely remedied at minor cost. The job, of course, would involve considerable work. We were shown that few of the windows in the building could be opened or closed, making ventilation difficult. This could be remedied in a few hours by a handyman. Our ob servation was that the building also would be vastly bene fitted by washing the windows. P'loors and stair treads are worn. Stair treads should be replaced. Floors should be covered with an asphalt tile or other surfacing. Installation of a fire-resistant wallboard to cover cracked plaster on walls and ceilings would not only improve appearance but save fuel and partly relieve the existing difficulty encountered in keeping rooms warm during school hours. We were shown cabinet doors that will not stay latched, and other doors that are difficult to open. The kitchen has cabinet which has never been painted and is still in the raw. The kitchen and lunch room were spotlessly clean, but need paint badly. Much patchwork remodeling has been necessitated by overcrowding, and the installations have been left in a very crude state. By installing moulding and applying paint, appearances could be vastly improved. We use the Benson school ns an example only because of our visit there within the past few days. The same situation, in only slightly varying form, can be found in nearly all our school buildings. The proposed budget provision would set up needed su pervision over the janitor service. It would permit employ ment of a man who could do the handyman mechanics painting, minor plumbing, minor carpentry, adjustments to windows and doors, etc. so badly needed and which jrinl- tors do not have time to do. Ho would have access to the ell equipped manual arts shops in the high school where he could fabricate his carpentry installations. The agri cultural machine shop would furnish equipment for use in connection with plumbing and metal work. Purchase of port able air compressor and paint spray gun would soon pay its cost in interior painting. Tho need for a general maintenance superintendent is very evident to even the casual observer who inspects any of our school buildings. We have been informed that the budget board is endeavor ing to induce Jim Mess to take the job if the item is approved when the budget is submitted to voters. We can think of no one better suited for the position. Mess is reluctant to assume the task because he can earn moro money in other work, but being a member of the budget board he is aware of the need and may consent to a personal sacrifice in order that he may be of public service. He already has outlined short cuts in maintenance which would more than pay the proposed salary established in tho tentative budget Even though the proposed item is a new one in the Rose burg school budget, coming at a timo when our minds are on elimination of all possible advances in school costs, we believe employment of a building superintendent has been delayed too long and should not be neglected further. DON'T let your worries get you down. Bishop. . Whenever we pause for a care ful check-up, wc discover that the boys and girls from across the &acks have somehow done their part.

Oleo Tax Repeal Opposed By National Grange WASHINGTON, March 1201") The National GraiiRe, one of the largest farm organizations, today that special DRIVER EXAMS DATED " Drivers' license examinations will be given in Roseburg nexl Thursday and Friday, March 18 and 19, at the City Hall, between the hours of 9 a. m. and 5 p. m.

(.-T A Union Pacific Railroad 8okes man confirmed yesterday wide spread layoffs of the railroad's shop employes. "Business is falling off," this spokesman said. "There's Just nothing for the men to do. Anti cipated business is far below what we previously had expected. This is true all over our system." No estimate o( total lauffs by the railroad was available. PORTLAND, March 12. .W L. A. Collins, general manager of the Union Pacific Railroad headmiarters here, said yesterday that 111 employes in the railroad shops here would be laid off Sat urday. Collins said the dismissals were partly seasonal and partly the re sult of a decline in business. The shops here normally employ about 800 men. Western Europe Nations Adopt Fifty-Year Treaty BRUSSELS, Belgium. March 12. iVTV- Britain, France and the Benelux nations adopted today a 50-year treaty (or a political, eco nomic and military union of Western Europe intended to cheek the march of Communism.

Show, Arbuckle's LETTERS to ihe Edilor Sorrow for Non-White Races Held Misplaced ROSEBURG It seem to ma there Is not so much tn he Hnno In the line of radical Intolerance here In the good old U. S. A. at least not by the government. Passing a lot of laws restrict ing the neoDle. such as the antl. lynch lew, is not going to bring wui ininicuious love thy neighbor" feeling. No sir, that's got to come freelv from tua heart. I wonder If these neonle who cry for the rights of the Negroes and other races aren't Just a Uttle Wrong about them. Rnmr. Info.- they'd be lust as annri tun whites If only given the chance. Ha! (Winchell style) three-fourths of the Negroes now need an iron unu ti m not reterring to the red band) on their heads they s1-1 - uihl-uu so easily. I Still think nur mnntt-u to democratic enough that, if a per son's got the stamina, be he black, white or yellow, he can become a success. Why feel so sorry for him? Maybe Miss Bowen thinks we ought to pension everyone not white and finance extrava gant buildings. Let's take the Indian for example. I've lived on the Fort Hall reservation rent ed from an Indian so I do know something about them. First they recicve a sizeable pension from the government and mmi of ihnm own land. Even if you're only a Huaiici-viuuu, uncie &am pays off regularly every month. Is that fair? I mean to us whites. NO, I should say it is not. They a awui me mies i iriDe l Know f at loast thH Rn Shoshones. They went to the same school we did, too. There was one family I know who because they had a little ambition of their own didn't sit back and wait to be fed. They even farmed their land instead of letting it grow up - MRcuiusn. one oi my girl lends, a full-blooded Indian r,f this familv, was one of the lead era in school affairs. She even went through a free college, and the last I heard was training to be a nurse. But as for the most of the In dians, they take their checks and aniuie away thejr pensions. They lon't want to imnrnve thm. selves. That's what I'm trying to put across. Here they are given i" improve ana they 'On t. If VOU Want to VO.ll far, They cling to tradition. Thev on't live in a dwelling after nmeonc died In It I knm im little fact will shock some of our nlcey-nlce people who feel n sorry for the underprivileged, but l ii lei you in on a little secret Indians eat dead does. that have been hit on the high way. It's a fact! Also my aunt mi mint- mo a slaughter nouse t Pocatello. Idaho, and tho In. dians would come and carry away all the entrails and remains. I hope they do not pass an antl nch bill. Seems to me sm-h action would tend to nrovoke ery white person in the South Join the Ku Klux Klan. I dont subscribe to the nolielpn nf M i organization, but I don't believe zoning of Negroes either. 1 Would you. if you were a white ' oman, dare walk down the I street in a Negro section of town i at night? It would give me the shivers, even In davtime. 1 ho way the Negroes feel now, I nd the way they are increasing I n numbers, the white immlp ! may be fighting for their vpry j lives In another civil war a bun-! dred years from now, and, be-' neve you me, we wouldn t get : half as eood a deal as thev hmt 1 had If they were in the driver's ; nr. i There were Mexicans.
