Youth Views the News
HS Panel Comments on Stalin, Korea,
Communism in Education, Statehood
By Saundra Carlson
Cottage Grove youth viewed the
news on a program recorded at
a high school assembly last Fri­
day morning and broadcast over
i KERG Sunday evening.
Bea Cranmer and Richard Har­
rison. seniors, and Dave Brands-
ness and Al Roby, juniors, made
up the special panel seated on the
auditorium
stage where they
voiced their own opinions on these
'three topics: Investigations of
I Communism in education, state­
hood for Hawaii and Alaska, and
the effect of Stalin's death on the
situation in Korea.
After panel discussion of each
subject a travelling microphone
was used to get the view's of stu­
dents from all four classes in the
audience. Students could not ask
questions, but simply gave opin­
ions.

Farmers of
America were recent recipients of
Sears Roebuck company chain of
livestock. The $300 was awarded
to the local chapter, which was
outstanding in competition with
other chapters over the state, and
the money was used to purchase
Hereford
a yearling
heifer.
This heifer was turned over to
Joe McClarnan, freshman, who
showed the greatest need and had
the best facilities for caring for
the animal. The heifer and all the
heifer
increase except the
calf are Joe’s. The first heifer calf
is turned back to the chapter, and
will be given to another troy to
raise. The Hereford was purchased
from the Bill Bumpus ranch.
The sheep chain of eight regis­
tered Lincoln ewes will be turned
over this spring to Francis Roth-
auge, another freshman, who will
raise them for three years, keep­
ing all the increase except eight
ewes, which will be turned back
to the chapter for another boy to
raise.
Joel Pynch received eight ewes
three years ago and to date the in­
crease of his flock has been 28.
Rothauge’s sheep are from this
flock.

Robert Charles Bowman of

town as the lad with the many
cars hut no license to drive them,
was arrested once more for con­
tempt of court last Thursday. He
also had no plates and was allow­
ing an unlicensed ¡rorson to dtive.
Bowman, who has had his li­
cense revoked for reckless driving,
went to jail Friday for 10 days on
the contempt charge. The sentence
was levied by Judge John Wells
in Justice court.
Wells also said he would have
to serve a six months sentence
invoked previously for contempt
of court. Bowman was on proba­
tion at the time of his arrest. The
judge had pieviously also ordered
him to sell his many cars.
City Council held its first 1953 budget meeting Monday
night to view preliminary department requests that indicate«!

at the first meeting, these too will probably show an increase
