VALLEY HAS AN 'OLD' NAME . : ' By CHARLES V. 8TANT0N A previously unnamed valley in Douglas County is to bear the name "Halo," we are informed by Mrs. George Edes,! News-Review correspondent at Yoncalla. ! It seems that a group of women in this valley, located north and east of Yoncalla, were meeting at the Hugh Warner home, and decided a name should be chosen for their community. The selection of the name came about fol lowing a review of an interesting bit of history, which Mrs. Edes reports as follows : Long, long ago, before the coming of the white man, the warriors of the mighty Umpquas and their old enemies from the north met in what was the last battle of the Indians in this part of Oregon. Sun after bloody sun rose and set as the savage warfare continued until, neither being able to subdue the other, both tribes retired, each to its own terri tory, decimated and shattered. One of the Umpqua tribes was the Calapooias. Weakened and disorganized by the prolonged fighting, dissension arose in the tribe and a small band of braves, possibly 15 in num ber, left the tribe and settled in a little valley in the northern part of the county. , Refusing to return to the Calapooia tribe, they set up their own village. They named a chief who was, in due season, nicknamed "Halo" by the Calapooias. The Indian word "halo" meant poor and no account. Halo was, in truth, poor for his tribe had no ponies, dogs, wampum or squaws. But fortune must have smiled on the , Halos for, when the first settlers came, the village numbered ' around 60 adults and the chief had two squaws. i The "Halos" were peaceful and friendly. They graciously "adopted the white men into their village and shared their small wares with them. But, as more settlers came, it soon ; developed that the ways of the red man were not the ways .; of the white man. An appeal was made to the Indian Bureau, which recommended removal of the remnants of the tribe to the Chemawa reservation. The "Halos" all migrated to their new home, except the chief and his two squaws with ) their 13 children. Halo resisted all reasoning. Then, gradu t ally, the members of his tribe came drifting back to their own valley. Another appeal was made to the Indian Bureau and the Commissioner, in person, came to smooth things out. ; This conference with Chief Halo resulted in the voluntary ! return of all others to Chemawa but, again, the chief refused to go.'.' '" .-- '. 'A last effort was to be made, so a party of white men accompanied the commissioner to the tribal village, Splachta Alia (home in a sheltered vale). Several of the men spoke at length, followed by the government men, all trying to impress on the Indians the benefit to be gained by moving. The old chief listened quietly and, when they had finished, he rose slowly and stood facing the party. "Halo old," he said. "Halo, him. Halo stay." That was too much for Charles and Lindsey Applcgate. Thev stepped out beside Halo and gave word that they would be responsible for Halo and his family snd they should remain in the valley Many moons have waxed and waned since then. The In dians, one by one, have left the valley for the Happy Hunt ing Ground. Halo, the old squaws, Teter Molliet, Uk l-ouise. the wolf-faced girl; Dave, called "B. I.", and Jake, the Inst of the Halos. The village with its bark houses has returned to the earth and the burial ground is nearly obliterated. Only the old Indian Rock in the western gap remains, its carved story still unrevealed. But the naleface "squaws" sDoke again the old names and other peoples. They reaffirmed valley and, again, the old pony path became the Halo 1 ran. For the greater good of the present-day "village," a return mav be made to the "tribe" of origin, the Calapooias, and there might again be reunion and representation around the council fires of the mighty I'mpquas. Editorial Comment From The Oregon Preis USE FOR WOOD WASTE (Coos Bay Times) Eyes of the wood waste utiliza tion students are turned this week on Eugene, where the I'hll Ipson Retort Manufacturing com pany has Just completed the first of Its commercial size retort units to make charcoal from mill waste. The company believes Its de sign will produce charcoal In 15 to 20 minutes from mill and forest waste, compared to several hours by standard production methods. The cut In lime is said to make a substantial reduction In manufacturing cost, and thus a more-competitive product. The company plans to build 10 retorts at Eugene, the plant being designed to handle 24(1 units of wood waste every 24 hours. This would produce 70 tons of briquets and 12.000 gal lons of wood tar by products. Inasmuch as one firm alone la reported to have sent an Inquiry to Eugene asking the chances for getting 100,000 tons of. bri quets a year, there seems to he plenty of room for other wood industry communities such a those of Coos county to give more Malt-rTar Tar II M, all aaalaa M H rat yaar lia.M (la aivaaaal, lift Uai he poor, he sick.

Honest Election Assured Soys Republican Chairman BALTIMORE.

Scott Jr.. told a Mary land Repubrcan rally that "thiev ery and chicanery" had thwarted the will of voters In some states two years ago, but warned that "there will be none of that sort of thing In the ISMS count . "We have two very able for mer prosecutor In Tom Iewy and Earl Warren," he said, "to make certain that those w ho at tempt to corrupt the ballot this year will have ample opportunity to reflect long and seriously on the merits of honest elections."

They simply put the losers to the sword with out loss of time. We've dragged the process out over some three years. So far as this Insignificant writer can see, the trials have done only harm, a a WE'RE learning again the hard lesson that winning a war is only a beginning. After that, you have to win the peace. If you fall to win the peace, you're worse off than If you hadn't gone to war.

He's all for commu nizlng everybody, especially the peasant farmers, w ho want to run their own farms. These farmers, for example, want to RAISE THEIR OWN PIGS, and when the pigs are raised they want to butcher 'em and eat 'em. or sell 'em for money and put the money In their pockets. Tito grabs the pigs for the benefit of the state, and a Belgrade (capital of Yugo slavia) dispatch says the peasants are "seething with anger." This writer would seethe w ith anger If he'd raised up a pig to out there It must have seemed odd to step Into a car and whizz up here from California! How ever they "fly a lot out there; It saves so much time!" One can well believe It, hearing of the arduous trips to town for a bit of shipping! No roads only na tives as bearers. It was going to be lots better for them when they returned. They would have a real brick house. The Afrikaans were making the brick then while they were away. It would have a real floor, too, instead of a hard packed earthen one. And an ant proof something, I think it was a metal strip that went around the edge of the wall. They liked the British very much. Found them most coopera tive. I noted a trace of the British accent, of which undoubtedly she was unaware, because of Seven years of hearing British voices, little phrases SAID In a way that sounded familiar, the South African vernacular? I was very glad our neighbors had Invited us over to meet the Garners. I think of them now when I hear the word AFRICA, for that's where they are "home" to them. I do hope the new brick house was all they expected and more! be a nice, plump shoat and some fat bureaucrat cam along and seized the shoat to be turned over to somebody else to eat This Communist business may sound good In a gathering of pinks with their heads In the clouds and expensive cocktails In their hands, but when It comes to having YOUR shoat taken away Just as it was ripening Into gnod bacon and given to some- j body else who never carried slop to It morning, noon and night it's another matter. a a THERE Is trouble with plums as well as pigs in Yugoslavia. The government (Tito's govern ment) has obligated Itself to ex port a lot of 'em. The plums have to come from the peasants and the peasants would rather keep their plums and make sllvovttz with 'em. tSlivovllz sells for more money than the plums, and If you can't sell It ( for one reason or another) you ran get a good glow on with it. And all you can do with the plums is to feed 'em to the pigs and If the government grabs the pigs you're out In the cold with no glow stuff handy.) Even Communism, you see, has Its headaches.

Williams Growth of School Studies Calls For Some Deletions Bv JANE EADS WASHINGTON Some folks are openly critical of the changes they see in our schools today. Some ate puzzled. Other are pleased. Bess Ooodykoontz, director of the Division of Elementary Edu cation, II. S. Office of Education, agrees that schools of today are different all right. "They ought to be." she says In a recent ar ticle In "National Parent-Teacher Magazine." "Other things are different the food we eat, the clothes we wear, our houses and their fur nishings and utilities, our means of transportation, the medicines we take. So are our manners, our recreations, our best sellers, the sermons we hear on Sunday. Time marches on, and our 'things' and our "ways' must keep pace, schools along wtih the rest. She points out that, for one thing, there are many new things to learn. She cites the story of the child who said history must have been much easier In dad's day there was so much less of it. "So too with science, and with health Information, and with geography and literature and the others. There Is so much that Is new and Important to learn," writes Miss Goodykoontz. This brings about a critical problem In the schools, she points out. "They can't go on forever adding without subtracting some thing. Furthermore, some of the new contradicts or replaces the old. So the curriculum changes adding the new, subtracting the untrue."

Scientific studies have pointed out better ways for children to learn to read, to sub tract, to learn to spell, to mem orize, to take notes and scores of other processes Another reason, she savs. has to do with the fact that "the teacher's telescope is now focused on the children- on what each one Is like, what he knows, what he likes, what he can do best and can't do at all and needs to learn next." Miss Goodykoontz agrees with other educators there are some things that all children should learn. These Include such Items as developing efficiency In the ba sic communication and mathe matical skills: making and tak ing responsibilities for decisions; being an effective member of a group: developing skill In critical thinking.

Sept. 13 ( The baffling problem of labor relation in the atomic energy in-1 dustry has been tackled by a I three-man commission appointed by President Truman. So far. the Atomic Energy Commission, unions, and the pri vate companies that operate the plants have not been able to agree on a labor policy, thougn they have tried for many months. The problem Is baffling be cause: 1. The Industry Is one In which any major stoppage of operations is considered ''unthinkable" be cause of national defense needs. 2. The industry has a semi puolic character, with the govern ment owning the plants and di recting the program. 3. Yet the labor relations are carried on between private firms and their employees, just as in any other Industry, and strikes or lockouts are permissible under present laws. (The Taft-Hartley1 Act forbids strikes by govern-: ment employees.) Twice the country came near strikes in the big plants at Oak Kidge. lenn., ana last monin a group of construction workers at Los Alamos, N. M., walked off : the Job because non-union work-! ers were Drougnt in oy one con tractor. Mr. Truman appointed the com mission yesterday and told It to explore the whole field and make recommendations on such ques tions as whether special legisla tion is needed. The three members are: Chairman, William H. Davis, New York Lawyer, former head of the War Labor Board, former director of the Office of Econom ic Stabilization. Edwin E. Wltte, chairman of the University of Wisconsin, president of the Industrial Rela tioins Research Association, for mer member of the War Labor Board. Aaron Horwitz, a labor-management arbitrator In New York, formerly with the U. S. Concilia tion Service. Policy Need Shown The wnite House announce- ment said the recent disputes at Oak Ridge and Los Alamos "have raised serious questions as to the sufficiency of present collective bargaining metnous m atomic energy Installations." There have been many pro posals for an over-all labor policy for the industry, which employes over SO.00O people. Last spring, officials of the i Atomic BInergv Commission held dozens of meeting with the un ions and the companies which operate the atomic plants under contract. The CIO and AFL unions In volved were willing to establish a system under which disputes over wages and other matters would he settled by compulsory i arbitration that Is, letting some! third party make a binding deci sion, i But David E- Llllenthal. A EC chairman, reported that Carbide i ft Carbon Chemicals Corporation, which operates all three of the Oak Ridge Plants, and other con tractors found compulsory arbl- j tratlon "completely unsatisfac tory." I . Lillenthal said the Commlsion would not compel the companies to accept such a program. Mr. Truman did not specify ; when the Commission is to com plete Its study but he said he ) tractors, labor organizations and the government In a vital new field of public policy." Watch Sptcd Ot School CrOSslnqS r tlnurecedented traffic volumes await nearly all children as they start back to school again this month, Secretary of State Earl T. Newbrv Is warning parents. "Traffic counts In all sections of the state, from the rural cross roads to the city streets, show heavy Increases over last year." the secretary pointed out. "This brings school crossings into sharp focus as danger areas, ! Ijtst year 536 Oregon school children were struck down In ! traffic. In nearly every case the accident could have been pre vented by alert, headsup driv ing. Newbrv declared. He em phasized that motorists must ex pect children to do unsafe things, and charged parents with re sponsibility for teaching children safe walking habits. Speed limit at grounds and crossings when children are going to and from school is set hy law at 20 miles per hour, the secretary reminded. School buses loading or discharging passen gers may not be passed al speeds over 15 miles per hour. 1U HOWARD'S HARDWARE WINSTON.
