NYA Funds Are Increased $19,000 Students of rollegiate grade who are in doubt as to how they will pay their tuitions and buy books this fall will be h«5artened by the announcement made this week by Ivan G.

Mark Twain said: "Everybody talks about the weather, but no body docs anything about it.” Well, nobody has to tio anything about the weather in western Oregon, its nice enough and air ronditioning seems to be out of plare. The delightful Indian sum mer weather now is about like the months of October and No vember in the southwest. Yes, we are getting all set for the rains, which ought not to be any more difficult to endure than the dust storms. Usually in a place the size of Cottage Grove, the Spit and Whittle club has a hanging out place, but if there is such a place here, it has escaped our notice. No use to tell us where you live until we get our bearings breause we have our directions twisted. Perhaps some day we can just twist these streets around and possibly widen them so that par allel parking won’t be necessary. Well, anyway we would not ac cuse Brigham Young nor any of his followers of laying out the streets. Of course we reserve the right to change our early impressions but next to the Garden of Eden this section of the country looks best. It’s bean harvesting time up in our neighborhood and anybody who has any suggestions as to the best manner of harvesting Post master Nelson’s two bean pods, the same will be welcomed. We understand that the post office will be moved up town over the week end, which may occasion a flag raising and a general cele bration including the passing out of cigars for the men and flowers for the ladies all on the post of fice force.

With the average daily attends ance for the school year 1937-38 from Cottage Grove 225 students and the average daily attendance of outlying districts 155, this would make the cost per student to the outside districts over three times as much as to Cottage Grove, (District No. 45). We believe in all of our students having all the education al advantages possible but inas much as the present high school built at a cost of $38,000.00 has b«*en able to accomodate all the students up to the present time, it seems to us that an investment not exceeding $25,000.00 would build an addition or an annex to the present building which would take care of the increased attend ance for many years to come. Farmers and industry are struggling under adverse market conditions, high taxes and high wage scales and are having a hard enough time without adding an additional levy for something that we consider an extravagant and unwarranted expenditure at this time.
