Goldberg reported afterward Kennedy had followed the trip with great interest and considered it "verv worthwhile." He ex pressed confidence that the ad ministration could deal effectively Willi the unemployment problems. Meanwhile, the labor secretary mapped a new series of tqwn money could be used for teacher salaries. . The bill's author, Sen. Al Flegel, D-Roseburg, argued that the bill is vitally needed to help solve the teacher shortage. He said only S per cent of the school districts are distressed, but Hare said he would not want to do anything to hurt that 5 per cent. The Senate Republican leader, Antheny Ylurri, Ontario, said he had confidence that the State and Federal Aifairs Committe would not bury it. He said he would join in a move to take the bill away from the committee if it did try lo kill the bill. The minimums, as approved by the Education committee, would be Increased from $3,400 a year to $3,600 for teachers without col lege degrees; $.1,700 to 14,400 for those with Bachelor degrees; and $4,000 to $4,800 for those with Master's degrees. Officials of the Oregon Educa tion Association said that more than 1,000 teachers would get raises under the bill. The school districts actually set the salaries, but the legislature puts a floe under them. The 36-day -old legislature was deluged with a flood of new legis lation today, dealing with such subjects as timber taxation, power and labor.

DULL MOTORS, INC. Virginians Undisturbed By First Kennedy Visit WASHINGTON (AP)-President Kennedy returned to the White House at 11:55 a.m. today after spending his first weekend at his farm home in the swank Virginia hunt country at Middleburg. The presidential party drove the 45 miles back here through a snow-covered countryside and over sloppy roads. At spots the fog was so thick the auto lights wtre kept on. It took several switches in plans before it was decided to make the trip by highway rather than by helicopter. . Kennedy made the trip to Glen Ora, his Virginia farm home, by helicopter on Saturday. The only engagement on Kenne dy's official schedule for today was a luncheon speech to the Na tional Industrial Conference Board at a Washington Hotel. Neither the President nor the people who will be his occasional neighbors in Virginia seemed lo have been disturbed unduly by Kennedy's first visit in this midst. Kennedy's initial weekend away from the White House routine pro. vided an opportunity for a mini mum of the work which a chief executive never escapes complete ly. It offered a maximum of rest Canyonville P. 0. Ponders Problem Of Old Post Card The. Canyonville Post Office is In a auandarv. It has a tradition that neither sleet, nor snow nor howling gale shall keep the mail from being de livered, but now it can't find the person to whom a postcard was addressed 32 years ago. The card was postmarked Brock way, May 29, 1929, and it was ad dressed to Mrs. E. J. Neff, in care of Mrs. Jessie Newton, Can vonville. It was signed "Dad." re ports correspondent Virginia Proc tor. Gone Now The problem is, no one by those names still live in Canyonville. The message on the card told Mrs. Neff that if she came to Brockway before Sunday, she would find nothing cooked because "Dad" didn't have time to keep up the fire. When Mrs. Norman Wilson, Can yonville postal clerk, sorted the mail and postmarked the card, she knew it looked funny, but it wasn't until later she double checked to find a lapse of 32 years between the two postmarks. Postmaster Norman Hanson speculated that the card might have fallen behind a little used shelf back in 1929. Glendale Postmaster Notes Drop In Receipts Howard Edson. Glendale post master, announced this week that postage sales for 1960 had fallen behind those of the previous year by nearly $1,000, according to Mrs. G. B. Fox, News-Review corre spondent. The figures, which do not include other post office recipts such as money orders, total $12,- 562.98 for 1960 and $13,515.90 Tor 1959. There is adequate reason for the drop, of course, in the fact that the closure of industry in the area wasf esponsible for the loss of considerable Glendale popula tion. Edson, commenting on post ot fice receipts got out an old record book, dated 1902, and pointed out that the cost of a hundred dollar money order at that time was the same as it is today, 30 cents. Fees for the smaller money-orders, how ever, were lower since the schedule of charges began with 3 cents for a money order under $1. Red Cross Announces New First Aid Class The Douglas County Chapter of the American Red Cross nas an nounced a standard first aid class, to be offered free of charge, to all persons interested.

After attending noon mass aun- day, Kennedy returned to his rent ah cntintrv estate. Glen Ora changed into sports clothes and tugged Caroline around the grounds on a sled. Then there was time for a leisurely lunch with Mrs. Kennedy, who canceled plans to go to Mass because of a cold. Mrs. Kennedy and Caroline flew to Glen Ora Friday afternoon and plan to remain until Tuesday night or Wednesday morning. White House press secretary Pierre Salinger said the Kennedys had no weekend guests and the President left the estate only to attend church. So the chief execu tive was free to wander around the place as he chose, sit down Little Music Theatre Group Pleasing To Large Audience One of the most delightful con-, to George M.
