I have n o t h i n g personal a - galnit M r. Cauntlett, In fact I consider him to be a very per sonable man, but I do ice many things which 1 feel he could ha ve Improved u|«xi. M any of theie p o llc le i were probably Inherited from f o r m e r admlnlatratlana, but there hai been am ple opjxjr- tunlty far changes to tic made.

There hai been printed c r iti cism of M r. B olce'i failure to m ake public speeches, as a can didate for Sheriff. Some people are good public speakers, some are not, but I would rather a man b e ih o rto n ta lk and long on ac tion than the reverie. I sincer e ly believe M r. Boice would be a man of action.

McColloch, ch air man, governing board, State of Oregon Department of Geo logy and Mineral Industries, has called a meeting of the Board for Friday, May 20. The meeting w ill be held In Room 1069 of the State Office Build ing, Portland, and w ill com mence at 9:30 a.m. This w ill be the second quar te rly meeting of the Board dur ing 1966 and m atters concern ing general business of the De partment w ill be considered. A s usual, the meeting of the Board Is open to the public. Slaie Grange Master Re-Elected Allen P. W heeler, Portland, was re-elected M aster of the Oregon State Grange to serve another two-year te rm , It was announced following canvass of votes from Granges throughout the state. Ted Sims of C orvallis was re elected overseer, and M rs. M il dred Norman, Milwaukie, was re-elected secretary. C u r t Weber, Gladstone, was chosen treasurer to succeed M rs . W il liam Dentel, Candy, who de clined to run again. The Board Issued a statement to this effect and also urged a " y e s " vote on b a l I o t measure No. 2, the proposed appoln’ lve superintendent measure. According to D r. C l i f f o r d C o rley, president of OAHE, the board Hated several reasons for Its support of Minear: Education In Oregon Is at a high level and la progressing under the current leadership; D r. M ln e ar’ s opposition has not presented a true picture of education In the state, and In the process of w a g in g a po litical campaign, has falsely criticized the teaching profes sion. Under these circumstan ces, the board felt that working relations between this person and members of the teaching profession would be difficult at best and possibly unproduct ive. The board cited D r. Minear for the state’ s progress Inpro gram s such as the privately financed Oregon Program , Its effective use of federal funds, and the development of good public support for education In the state. In urging support for ballot measure No. 2, theOAHE board reaffirm ed a stand generally in favor of an appointive c h i e f school officer.
