Bond Sale
Requested
For Millrace
A request for sale of $20,000 In
bonds and continued work on the
Millrace was presented to the Eu
gene City council by representa
tives of student government here
Monday night.
The request, according to City
Manager Oren L. King, was turn
ed over to the council committee
on finance and parks. The delega
tion was assured, he said, that
cleanup would continue by the city
and that the whole matter would
be carefully considered.
The bonds were approved by Eu
gene voters several years ago but
have never been sold. Originally
they were to go with a sum of ap
proximately $2-1,000 donated by
Oregon students alumni and towns
people to renovate the race, par
tially destroyed by a flood just aft
er the war.
King told the senate early this
year that the funds donated had
been sufficient to repair the race
at that time and as a result the
bonds while still on the books -
have never been sold.
Sunday is bath day for donkeys,
goats, and other animals on Bar
bados, easternmost of West Indies
islands. Cattlewash, a village on
the Barbados coast, owes Its name
to the act the word implies.
At the time of the Civil War
there were more sheep than peopl^
in the United States. In 1914 there
were three people and today there
are five people for every sheep.

An outstanding historian, par
ticularly In the field of modern
French political history, Wright
spent a year in France on sab
batical leave. Returning to the
campus at the beginning of the
school year, he studied on a fel
lowship granted by the Social Sci
ence council, and concentrated on
peasant politics. His research is
centered on French developments
since 1918.
This is Wright's third research
to France and his background in
that country, educationally, has
made him one of the foremost men
in the nation on political situations
there. He was retained by the
United States department of state |
as a specialist on France in 1911
and from 1945 to 1947 he was vice
consul and third secretary of the |
American embassy in Paris with
special duties as a political an
alyst.
In 1911 Wright won the Euro
pean History award of the Pacific
branch of the American Historical |
association for a study of Poin
care and the French presidency.
The two strongest earth shocks
recorded since the use of-seismo
graphs for measuring them be- |
came general about 50 years ago ]
were the Assam-Tibet earthquake
of August 15, 1950, and the Colom
bia temblor of 1906.
