The exhibit was built by A. L. (Shorty) Bray, a maintenance man at the hotel, at a cost of about $400. It took him about nine months to build. "It kept me out of mischief," he said. Although he has been building these miniature towns all his life, this is the most elaborate. It contains a complete village, a running waterfall and a canyon. Bray says the display contains about 500 feet of wiring to move the trains and light up the village, down to the individual houses. Bray says he has been building villages such as this for years because his doctor told him he should always be doing something to carry off his nervous energy. (Paul Jenkins picture).

One year ago the movement amongst teen drivers to prove to their elders they are not all squir rely drivers was born among 1U0 Beaverton Union high school stu dents. Today more than 20,000 driv ers in the under-age insurance bracket from 42 states and three foreign countries advertise they are safe drivers every time they get behind the wheel. The orange and black "Safe-Teen" bumper strip on their cars is their label. In Beaverton last week Judge Frances Cook, justice of the peace and founder of the crusade, re ports not one member has been in volved in a fatal auto accident.

Japan Barring Teachers Shorter Than Five Feet TOKYO 11 A controversy is swirling above the heads of Tok yo's women schoolteachers in some cases several inches above. The Metropolitan Board of F.du cation started it by barring teach ers shorter than five feet. The ban goes into effect next school year, but not without howls of anguish from tiny teachers, the major newspapers, students teachers' schools and one woman Diet Parliament member, her self former Tokyo teacher. The Died member. Mrs. lianeko Takada. is 4 feet 10. The metropolitan government section said it put the ban on tiny teachers because Japanese boys and girls arc growing bigger all the time and the teachers find it hard to control them if they are too small. .-..
