SCHOOLS
By CHARLES V. STANTON
During: Tuesday's school parade we overheard a spectator
exclaim, "Is it possible that all these children are from
Roseburg schools !"
The astonished spectator could have been told that children
in the parade did not nearly represent the full attendance
in our city school system.
The only senior high school students in the procession were
those in the marching units bands and drum corps. Few
grades or classes had 100 per cent representation.
The parade was indeed an impressive sight. It furnished
reason for serious thought concerning our school problems.
Persons who have no direct contact with schools find it
hard to understand why so much money is needed each year.
But when we see more than 2,000 children marching four
abreast in a procession exceeding a mile in length, realizing
that almost another 1,000 students did not march, we begin
to have our problem translated into visual pattern.
School Costs Mount Steadily
Many factors are involved in steadily increasing school
costs. Primarily, of course, we have more than doubled en;
rollment in the Roseburg district, and in virtually every
other district of the county, during the past five years.
Records of births for the past four years indicate that we
soon must double our facilities from their present capacity.
Increasing capacity of our school system requires heavy
capital investment in new sites, buildings and equipment
Interest and principal payments on investment bonds must
be added to our taxes.
A double increase in costs comes from higher prices and
an Inflated dollar. Salaries of administrators and teachers
have been raised nearer the professional level. Here in
Douglas county we must compete with high wages in the
lumber industry because, when more lucrative employment is
observed outside the profession, teachers are lured away
into business and industry. Consequently salaries must be
high enough to keep educators in their chosen field. The
loss of teachers from the profession has been exceedingly
high in the Roseburg area in recent years. Then, too, all
supplies and services cost more and we must pay all these
costs with an inflated dollar.
People Have Pride In Schools
, Doubtless every spectator along the line of march was
thrilled by the sight of so many youngsters participating in
the procession. Astonishment created by the spectacle de
tracted from the real purpose, which was to display the
replica of the famed Liberty Bell, being circulated through
out the state as a part of the current savings bond campaign.
The bell failed to excite much comment. People were too
intent upon the size of the parade to give much thought to
the purpose for which it was held.
But mingled with the realization of the enormity of our
Bchool problem was a feeling of pride and pleasure, as shown
by applause and comment.
The American people have always taken protective pride
in their schools and free public education. It is a costly pride
financially and the cost keeps mounting steadily, particularly
in these boom-growth communities, where the tax revenue
base lags far behind essential expenses. Schools have become
a most critich! x burden, yet, not only here but throughout
all of Western Oregon where similar conditions exist, voters,
with few exceptions, have given support to their schools
despite the cost.
We imagine most spectators at Tuesdny's parade felt as
we did that such a swell bunch of kids merits almost any
sacrifice.

"George William Martin, 17,
found a pistol in a drawer at Carol
Miller's home last night. So he
started showing his date how 'Rus

wanted him to put down the gun

walked out of the room, thinking
maybe George William would stop
his foolishness.
"As she went out of the door, she
heard a shot. , . . Voting Martin

introduce Immediately a bill con

Ouch!
Now we little business men are
in for it. So far, we've been fearly
well able to keep out of the
clutches of the do-gooders. But if
they start crowding loans onto us,
goodnight!
My personal observation has
been that more small business men
have got into trouble because they
were able to borrow more money
than they could pay back than for
any other reason.

Out In A New Place
$fetiji By ViaJmttt S. Martin gljr
For the first time in her three
years with us, Pretty-cat is on
the warpath. She has raised fam
ily after family of kittens only to
have them disappear, and she the
most conscientious little cat-mulher
ever! How can we explain they
have gone to homes waiting for
them?
For the first few days she has
meowed plaintively in a way that
tugs at the heart ... but this
time, ah this time! When her
good friend Lucky, the mostly
yellow cat from over the road,
comes calling, Pretty greets him
wllh fluffed up tail, arched back
and spitting words. Bubbles, the
black cocker puppy, comes along
with Lucky sometimes, but she
doesn't wait; she scoots, with
Pretty leaping after her as far as
the gate or where a gate should
be but isn't, so the bovine strollers
from up the road get a lick in at
our roses every now and then.
Yesterday the pair of little
white goats, Sambo and Koko,
came over. Pretty met them at
the gateway, putting on her fiercest
demeanor. The kids stared silent
ly, heads close together. Pretty
held her pose. Then E J (mean
trick! ) scuffed his shoe on the
rock path. The little goals fled
home, and a white streak shot
Figures On First
Buying Of Savings
Bonds Announced
The Portland branch of the Fed
eral Reserve bank of San Francis
co has just released figures show
ing the ale of E bonds in Oregon
by county since the Independence
savings bonds drive got underway
Monday, May 15. .According to E.
C. Sammons, state chairman, total
sales in this state for the week
were SS99.137, or 9 percent of the
state quota, of $5,892,000.
Sammons said that the tour of
the replica Liberty Bell, which is
now in southern Oregon, is arous
ing more interest than any single
thing that has happened during the
peacetime history of the selling
of U.S. savings bonds to individ
uals. Since the bell began its tour,
it has been taken as rapidly as
possible to the larger schools in
the state and thousands of school
children have seen it and have
heard it ring.
County Chairman, H. O. Parget
er, announced today that the sale
of E Bonds in this county during
the first week of the sales cam
paign amounted to $16,856, or 10
percent of the assigned quota of
$160,500. Local volunteers are mak
ing every effort to go far behond
that figure. They are working on
the theory that "A thirifty com
munity is a good place in which to
live and do business."

way up it before pausing to see
what had seemed an attack from
the rear. Smoky, the shepherd, sits
down, head on one side, and war
ily watches the embattled white
cat, but (for the moment) he stays
outside the bounds laid down by
Pretty.
Today a caller left his car out
side the cattle guard across the
road, and walked in to the porch.
Only four-footed residents were at
home. Smoky barked his loudest
which, especially in the middle of
the night, is plenty loud; the puppy
rolled over on her back and held
up her paws, waiting to be petted:
the cat waved his tail and stalked
around, and the two kids stood
close while the visitor rang the
doorbell, and got underfoot as he
started back to the car. The man
took to the lawn; so did the es
cort. Smoky never ceasing his
barking, the puppy doing her best
to trip him, the goats trotting
along. . . .
The man pulled an apple out yf
his pocket and dropped it on the
gra'ss. It worked. Five noses in
vestigated the apple and the man
hustled to his car. As he drove off
five pairs of eyes stared after
him ... As good as a circus
