On that Jay the Geddes fam ily, complete -with five daughters, (two of whom are still in cribs) and the inevitable puppy, arrived in Salem, bag and baggage to stay for the forty-seventh session of the Oregon legislature. I am rather surprised that there were no reports of disturbances on the seismographs around uie coun cry so great seemed the upheaval Being the secretary to my hus band, a senator, is not going to be particularly different from being his secretary in the House of Representatives, but I am still ex sectinl one of the Senate door keepers to tell me to go back where I belong. There is a rather definite cleavage between the two Houses at the opposite sides of tne state House, ana tne wives and aecreiar. les are oft?n quite aware of it. The opening day of the legisla ture was accomplished with the usual well-rehearsed routine of or ganization in the morning and the formality and even pageantry of the joint session in the afternoon at which time our new governor, Paul Patterson, presented his message. The balconies were filled and the "Who's Who" in Oregon ' politics could have been compiled on the spot. The British People have no monopoly on enjoyment of ceremony for even rugged Amer icans find a certain thrill in watch ing the impressive show of govern ment and the reminder of the hon or and responsibility of serving Uie state in office. There was 'cecn interest in the governor's message; for many people it was the first chance tn see tne new leader in action and to attempt to evaluate his can- abilities on the basis of his words and manners addressing the Town". His address was as fine and cap able as I knew it would be and hr presented in his usual clear and kindly manner many concerns for the future of the state and oro- posals which departed far from the hackneyed remarks which ., could have been his refuge on such an occasion. My thoughts went back to a cooy of a limited edition of the Hills boro Argos nublished several months ago with a souvenir cover proclaiming the temporary govern orship of Hillsboro'i illustrious cit izen, Paul Patterson, who was serving during the absence of Gov ernor McKay from the state. I am sure that at Ihu time that was published, few people, including Paul Patterson himself had any REPAIRING and REMODELING HAND TRUCKS STAPLING GUNS LADDER JACKS LADDIRS Stwm Wollpaptr Rtnwvir.

Three Architects Via For Dittricf t Work (ConUnued from Page One) fourth-graders at Benson. This is Anaerson's third year of teaching. New wrinkles in the Senior High curriculum were told to the board by Marvin Smith, assistant super intendent. The first is aimed at diminishing local, state ana nation-wide criti cism leveled recently at schools for graduating students unprepared in basic arithmetic fundamentals. Smith said a test in arithmetic addition, subtraction. multiDnca tion and division will be given to all 11th graders. If they fail, they will be required to take a course in basic arithmetic during their sen ior year. Science Requirements The other change will be in sci ence requirements. Previously, all Senior High students have been re quired to take biology. This will be changed so they may take either general science or oioiogy. A sci ence test will be given eighth grad ers in March and the upper 25 per cent of the students will be allowed to take biology (previously a soph omore course) their freshman year. Smith also reported on a plan for screening new text books, which, he anticipates, will keep out undesirable books and, at the same time, help to indoctrinate the staff to the books. The State Textbook Commission issues a list of three possible texts for each subject. The districts then choose one from the three. Under Smith's plan, the local teachers will decide on this one. Committees comprised of teachers will examine the books and select one in the elementary schools and Junior High. In the Senior High each department will act as its own committee. Smith also brought before the hoard coDies of new teacher appli cation forms he has prepared for use In District 4. Sup(. M. C. Deller announced to the board that he has authorized another secretary for the Senior High.

W O Referendum Vote On Soil District Has Been Ordered A referendum has been ordered among Western Douglas County farmers on the question of form ing a soil conservation district by the Oregon State Soil Conser vation Committee. The committee has decided that a conservation district there would be practical and feasible after re viewing reports on public hear ings held recently at Reedsport and Elkton. Polls for the referendum, ex pected sometime in February, will be located at Reedsport and Elkton, Walter PyriU, chairman of the organization committee, re ports. To pass, the district proposal must be favored by two-thirds of landowners voting in the refer endum. (Eligible landowners must own more than 10 acres.) County Agent J. Roland Parker, who has been giving farmers infor mation on soil conservation dis tricts, says the move started in November with the formation of the organization committee. Mem bers of this committee, besides I'y ritz, are Bert L. Roberts, R. M. Huftling and C, M. Dawson, Smith River; E. G. Dunn, Reedsport; Eugene H. Fisher, Kellogg and C. G. Henderer, Elkton. If the referendum passes, farm ers in the western part of the county will get technical and en gineering assistance :n working out soil, and water problems from various federal agencies. Actual conservation work will be carried out voluntarily by farmers. So far 37 such districts have been approved in Oregon. Money for the districts come from both state and federal sources.

But Truman's budget proposal to spend two billion dollars in for eign economic aid in the year be ginning next July 1 is likely to be subjected to close scrutiny and sharp pruning.
