Winston School Budget Adopted The Winston School District 116 budget committee adopted the pro posed school budget for 1963-64 aft er a hearing before a dozen inter ested persons in the district, cor respondent Phebe McGuire reports. Considerable friendly discussion took place during the hearing and participants were seemingly in ac cord at its termination, according to Mrs. McGuire. Tlie 19G3-64 budget calls for vot ers to cast their ballots on May 6 for a sum of $468,489.51 outside the constitutional 6 per cent limi tation. This figure amounts to an increase of $56,997.84 over the 1962 63 limitation. Increases Noted The existing tax base in the amount of $29,903.98 is an increase of $1,692.68 over the 1962-63 tax base. The new operating budget (general fund) amounts to $864, 418.49, which is an increase over last year in the amount of $77,-' 215.52. This figure, less the total estimated receipts and cash bal-' ance of $411,025 (which is an in crease of $18,525 over last year) and the bond and interest pay ment of $109,600, a decrease of $6,932.50 from the 1962-63 pay ments, will necessitate a tax levy of $672,993.49 or an increase of $51, 758.02 additional taxes required in the district. The reasons for the increases are the hiring of additional teachers, salary increases and predicted en rollment increase in addition to the cost of text books or a total in crease in instruction in the amount of $45,452.18. Other increases are due to an additional bus for trans portation in the Lookinglass and Tenmile areas, building repair, So cial Security and retirement in creases and capital outlay in crease. This includes the cost of furniture for four new classrooms to be built at Douglas High School this summer. Another Issue Set When voters turn out to cast their ballot on May 6 they will find a separate ballot on a special tax- levy in the' amount of $15,000 for the construction of a sewer pipe line between Douglas High School and Winston. The present septic tank and drainage field has failed to oper ate and the Oregon State Board of Health has given the' school dis trict until next fall to correct the situation. The connection with the City of Winston sewage disposal plant was recommended by engineers from the state Board of Health as the most satisfactory and econom ical in the long run. This recom mendation waa accepted by the budget committee and a decision to run a special levy for this purpose was made at the recent budget hearing. The $15,000 according to the en gineers, will cover purchase and laying of 6,000 feet of pipe and installation of - the necessary pumps.

Van Dermark, Milford Dowdy of Tenmile, Alvin Heard from Look- ingglass and Mrs. Oren Ledger wood of Dillard, in addition to school board members Everett Johnson, chairman, Jim Rlchey, Charles McCord of Dillard, George Marsh from Lookingglass and Ted Benedict of Tenmile.

Periodic measures are made of patient progress, evaluat ing the patient's improvement in the hospital as well as measuring each patient's social and work ad justment after discharge. In addition, a study is made of each patient's attitude toward the program to which he is exposed. It is anticipated that this study, which will be carried out over the next two years, will yield valuable information regarding the relative effectiveness of each of the three treatment programs. In addition to this program, sev en other research projects were in itiated in 1962. Among these was participation of the Roseburg VA Hospital in a nation-wide chemo therapy project. In this project, veterans all over the country are given one of three medications, with half of those on medication participating in socializa tion groups.
