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.

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

TITO la having his troubles
not merely with the Russian
breed of Communists but with his
own people. He's all for commu

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."

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.)

Its headaches.

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."
Atomlo Entrgy Comts Along
Some of the new things mil
dren will study this year for in- expects its report "will be ex
atnnre will rw' nprhana a rourse tremelv helDful In SUlding con-
on atomic energy, a new pointed -
up version of current events, a

K1i flnwH-k(wtnt rwiinla tn an.
other reason schools today are
different from schools a genera
tion ago: "Teachers as a whole
know more nowadays about how
children learn. 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.

Atomic Industry
Labor Chaos Put
Up to Commission
WASHINGTON. 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."
