- Similar local committees are at
work In 22 other cities In Oregon.
Primary work of the committees
is to acquaint the public with re
habilitation services being offered
to both disabled veterans and non
veterans and to promote Jobs for
ch handicapped persons.
Millions Affected
Indicative of the size of the Job
to be done in Oregon relative to
the handicapped Is the following
information contained in a "fact
sheet" released by the state Inter
agency committee, Short said:
"There is no accurate count of
;the physically handicapped but
many estimates have been made.
;There is a bill before Congress
calling for a census of the dis
abled. However, It will be diffi
cult to establish a standard as to
what constitutes a disability.
"Various estimates have been
made regarding the number of
physically handicapped In the
i'nited States. The estimate of
Ifrom 25,000.000 to 28.0O0.OG0
seems to have considerable valid
.ity. "Our present labor force con
sists of approximately 62,500,000.
Of this number, about ten per
cent are vocationally handicapped
persons. There is thought to be
j)n excess of 500,000 unemployed
handicapped persons In the Unit
yd States in 1948.
T "From the records of the Ore
gon State Board of Health, Stan?
Accident Commission, county
health departments and other
agencies which keep records In
this regard, it is estimated that
approximately 15 out of each
1.000 of Oregon's civilian popula
tion have a substantial physical
Impairment.
"About seven of each 1.000 are
r severely disabled that they
must be trained for new occupa
tions or enter less hazardous em'
ployment. So estimating the pop
ulation oi tne state at i,4uu,uuu,
Al least 9,800 of our non-veteran
population can benefit from
"NEPH Week."

Bad Conditions at 63 Oregon
Grade Schools Will Bar Them
From Basic Fund Allotments
SALEM, Ore., Oct. 8. iJP Some of Oregon's grade schools
have conditions as bad as those in the most backward sections of the
country, Rex Putnam, state superintendent of public Instruction,
said yesterday.
Putnam's staff has completed
an inspection of 367 schools, and
63 of them had conditions so
serious that they will be unable
to receive state basic school fund
allotments until those conditions
are corrected.
Of the 63 non-standard schools,
these conditions were found:
66 percent do not have hot and
cold water.
42 per cent need building re
pairs. 29 per cent have rooms smaller
than 20 by 30 feet.
60 per cent have poor floors.
25 per cent have playground
hazards.
51 per cent don't fly the Amer
ican Hag.
The report said 17,755 pupils
have to wash in cold water In
the coldest months. There are
12.106 children who have to use
open-pit toilets or wait In long
lines to use insufficient toilets.
Drinking Water Untested
There are 14,796 pupils who
use glasses or pump spouts that
are unsanitary, and 10,492 drink
untested water. There are 3.766
children w ho go to schools where
there is Inadequate heat, drafty
floors or over heated stoves. And
there are 11.299 pupils going to
vhnnU in need of repairs.
Putnam said that the schools
are good about fixing up their
nronertv so as to make them
standard and thus eligible for
state funds. Since the survey was
made. 35 of the 65 schools nave
com nl led.
Putnam said consolidation of

schools is the answer to the prob
lem of the small. Inadequate
schools.
In one school, the teacher said
she wouldn't drink the water be
cause it was not pure. But the
children drank that water.
Rats and Bad Toilet
In another school, the inspec
tor said she was informed by a
teacher that the children couldn't
play outside in a storage building
because there are so many rats.
The rats even ran through the
school building.
The worst toilet situation was
where a toilet is located by an
irrigation ditch. To reach it. the
pupils had to cross tne nitcn on
a board only four Inches wide.
The toilet was so close to the
ditch that it was full of water.
It didn't have a door on It, either.
In another school, the children
