Thur., Sept. 26, 1963 School Board Approves Extension Of Three Rural Area Bus Routes Tho Roseburg School Board Wed nesday night accepted the report of the administration in extending bus routes in three locations at the request of parents and denying three other requests for transporta tion changes. The most important change would extend the bus route from Garden Valley Road one mile south down Big Bend Road, at the request of Ernest Webster and six other pe titioners in the area who have 23 children attending school. Web ster, present at the meeting, has provided a turnaround. The change will be effective Monday. It was reported the road is nar buscs serving this area turn around at the Stokes residence. It was accepted on recommendation that this would standardize policy in this area and give "equal treat ment." The cost would be $139.40 per year. row but hard-surfaced and satis factory for bus travel. Extension of the route would advance the School Building Problems Discussed At Board Meet Problems of new school construc tion to house the ever growing crop of children for the Roseburg schools were discussed at length at the District 4 board meeting Wednesday night. Architect John Briscoe presented Roseburg School Enrollment Grows There are now 252 more students in the Roseburg School system than there were last year at this time, and this number is greater than the projected enrollment in crease for the next fiscal year.

Rcbekah District Meet At Glendale Saturday A Rcbekah district convention will he held Saturday in Glendale IOOF Lodge Hall.

Defense Department Likes Deferral Of Married Men WASHINGTON (UPI) The Defense Department is well pleased with the results of Presi dent Kennedy's recent order de ferring married men from the draft. Preliminary studies indicate that the order will save $10 mil lion or more annually in military personnel costs, in addition to bringing the Army a more usable type of recruit and possibly in creasing re-enlistments. For these reasons, reports that the department has asked for re vocation of the order brought a quick denial from Pentagon offi cials interested in military man power trends. In the last two years, the Army has drafted approximately 40.000 married men who were entitled to an allotment of $83 10 a month not enjoyed by single drnftees, who usually outnumber them about 4 to 1. $40 Million A Ytar The additional personnel tab for 40.000 married men thus comes to nearly $40 million a year. Bach elors can get the allotment by marrying while in service. The allotment for a married man would be increased to $105 a month if his wife had a child. Another possible saving is in the slightly greater tendency of single men to enlist after their two-year draft terms. Although the rale of such enlistments is low between 5 and 10 per cent each individual decision to stay in service can save thousands of dollars in training costs. Single men also are preferred lem when it is necessary, as it usually is, to assign them over-, junior-senior high schedule in the morning about 10 minutes, making the first pickup at 6:55 a.m. No advance in Itme would be neces sary for the elementary buses. Ad ditional cost would be $774.40 per year. Also approved was a route ex tension on the Clark's Branch Road from Roberts Creek Road, a distance of .9 of a mile. This was requested by Mrs. John Stokes for her three children. At the present itme, the other three The board decided to continue to make an allowance in lieu of transportation to Don Stumbo, who had requested an extension of the bus route from Winchester School up Page Road, a distance of 1.7 miles. The allowance would be $113.34, as compared with the bus extension cost of $789.85. This ar rangement was made for part of last year. Denied was a request of parents for an extension of a bus route from the intersection of the Wilbur preliminary plans for a new build ing in the senior high school com plex. Tentative plans call for a three-story building to be located in the present parking area south ot tne old school building. Just what the building can con tain within money available under the bond issue voted by the people last March 6 has not been fully determined. Briscoe stated space requirements of the administration recommendation do not fit the room sizes originally planned for, and some alterations will be neces sary. Proposal Outllntd Tho board is considering a build ing which will have classrooms in the upper two stories and a "com mons" or multipurpose room on the main floor, which would serve as a cafetorium at noon. Plans as drafted call for a first-floor annex, as a separate unit from the main building, to house a kitchen. But whether or not the kitchen could be built at this time will have to be determined by funds available. Briscoe said building costs have materially risen this past year, and dificultics have arisen in keeping building plans within costs. In regards to the Melrose School addition, Briscoe reported difficul ty has been encountered in ob taining metal door frames, and this is all that's holding up completion of the structure. If the frames ar rive this week or the first of next, as promised, the building should be finished in about 10 days from their arrival, he said. This is hoped for on or near Oct. 10. It may also be necessary to use some sub stitute hardware temporarily. Now Teachers Hirad The board approving hiring of three new teachers: Mrs.- Estle Batt, bookkeeping and world his tory, and Mrs. Edna Wilson, home economics and English, both for tho high school, and Mrs. Nellie risher, elementary. Approval wos given for six non resident pupils to attend Roseburg schools. The board gave its approval to a request of Pacific Power & Light Co. for an casement to replace the one held by the company on the Woody property purchased by tho school district. Guy lines on the original casement were in the way of the new building and parking lot and the company has consent ed to lake this new casement and shorten the guy lines, all of this at the company's expense. The board received no bids on district property in the Cloverdalc area offered for sale by the dis trict. seas during the first two years. ; Defense Department rules do not permit government-supported : transfer of families overseas dur-i ing the first four years of en- ' listed service, but wives often have followed husbands to Europe at their own expense. In any case, ' the morale question with married men overseas is considered more severe. Reduce Gold Outflow And a II hough the item is small, it is not being overlooked that sending a higher percentage of single men overseas will slightly reduce the gold outflow from the United States. The department declined to es timate how many hastened mar riages may be caused by the , President's order, or lo guess what the effect might be on the country's birth rate. There has been considerable speculation, however, that the order in effect since 1955 against drafting fathers helped for sev- i cral years to sustain a high birth rate, and that the order against drafting married men may for a time have a similor effect. The average draft age is now 23 years. By reducing the avail-1 able draft pool, the presidential order might tend to cause the in duction of younger men. but de fense authorities said the effect in this repert will be slight NEED OIL? Call 673-8356 SOUTH END FUEL Co. STANDARD HEATING OILS cut-off with Del Rio down Del Rio Road to Brozio Road, a distance of two or three hundred yards. This would involve hauling a nearly full bus load of children the short dis tance to Brozio Road and backing the bus to make the turnaround. The request had been made on the basis that it would eliminate danger to children who must walk this short distance on the right shoulder or cross Del Rio Road twice to wal.: on the left side. The request was not deemed justified in view of other problems to be encountered. Denied also was a request of ex tension on Roberts Creek Road from the present turnaround to the John Lander residence, a idstance of 1.4 miles. Request was by Virgil Staffelbach, who has one student in senior high and two in junior high. The cost would be $216.83 per year. The recommendation adopted was denied on the basis students of this age group are walking as far or farther than this and because of a very githt schedule timewise. The other request denied was for a bus from the Winchester Street area to the senior high school, re quested by Mrs. W. L. Heup. This was denied on recommendation be cause students within the city are walking much greater distances than this under no better conditions. 18-Month Sentence Ordered For Poole Jerry Poole. 23.

Jackson Hearing On Water Rates Under Way At Oakland The Oregon Water Corp. in the first phase Wednesday of a public hearing on a proposed water rate increase for the city of Oakland presented exhibits and testimony to bear out its contention that the cost of improvements to the Oak land water rupply should be borne by Oakland water users and not be, in effect, subsidized by the Klam ath Falls and Roseburg units of the company. The hearing, which is turning out to be one of the most lengthy of its kind here in recent years, began at 10:30 a.m. at the Oak land Legion Hall, ran through the Itte afternoon hours and resumed at 10 a.m. today. Robert Welch of Salem, examiner for the Public Utilities Commission, is conducting the hearing. Completion is expect ed at about 3 or 4 p.m. today. Witnesses Pirodo The parade of company witness es Wednesday included W. H. Smith, of Boise, Idaho, chief engi neer for both Oregon Water Corp. and its parent company, the Boise Water Corp.; O. P. Newman, com pany president, also of Boise; and F. L. Ramey of Klamath Falls, secretary-treasurer. On the stand for the longest pe riod was Newman. His testimony and replies to cross examination made clear the company's stand that a rate increase was neces sary to bring the Oakland opera tions out of the red following a capital investment of about $50, 000 in the past two years to bring n, Oakland water supply to its present high slandord. Muddy and turbid water, particularly during the rainy season, had long plagued Oakland customers prior to the 1961 installation of a filter system, Newman" pointed out. Newman stated that the filtration plant is a new type of recent design which fits the individual need of the Oak land water supply as previous de signs in comi.ion use were hui able to do. . On hand also for the hearing was Attorney Gerald Kabler rep resenting a group of Oakland wa ter users who had in January pe ftioni'd the Public Utilities Com mission for a public hearing when it was learned that the proposed rate increase wouia jump muu present average yearly water iui Frances M.

Position Explained According to Newman's testi mony, the proposed new rates vould bring Oakland in line with the Roberts Creek, Sutherlin. and Winston-Dillard districts, which are under different ownership. New n an emphasized that a denial of a rate increase would in effect put the Roseburg and Klamath Falls systems in the position of paying for the Oakland improvements and would be a deterrent factor in any Driver Crashes White House Gate With Warning For JFK WASHINGTON (UPI) A small plumbing truck, its driver screaming: "I want to see the President, the Communists are taking over in North Carolina," crashed through iron gates to the White House today.
