Book Is No Exaggeration
Senator Geddes' Wife Says
By tSTHER GEDDES
; I once thought the book "Papa
Goes to Congress" was highly ex
aggerated but not since last Fri
day. 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

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.

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.
