First-grader Mark Eggleston of Port­
land, Ore., is one of the top 10 winners
in the kindergarten and first-grade cate­
gory of the IBM/Good Housekeeping
“ Tell Me A Story. . .” contest, a na­
tionwide competition for family and
community stories written by children
in grades K-6.
His award-winning story, “ The
Stolen Christmas Tree,” describes his
grandfather stealing a Christmas tree as
a young boy, his feeling of guilt and his
confession many years later.
A student at Terra Linda Elemen­
tary School in Beaverton, Ore., Mark is
the son of Randal and Victoria Eggleston.
As on of the top 10 winners, Mark, his
school and his teacher will each receive
an IBM Personal System/2 Model 25
computer and an IBM Proprinter II
printer.
Sponsored by IBM Educational
Systems and Good Housekeeping
magazine, the contest drew entries from
nearly 30,000 elementary school chil­
dren nationwide. Judges narrowed the
field to 10 students from each of three
grade categories: K -l, 2-3 and 4-6.
One grand-prize winners will also
tell their stories at the National Story­
telling Festival in Jonesborough, Tenn.,
next October. The festival is sponsored
by the National Association for the
Preservation and Perpetuation of Story­
telling, which has supported the pro­
gram since 1988.
The contest is the culmination of
the IBM/Good Housekeeping ‘ ‘Tell Me
A S tory.. . ” Celebration, a school lan­
guage arts program that incorporates
storytelling and the whole language
philosophy of reading and writing.
Whole language acknowledges the
natural progression from oral to written
language. The “ Tell Me A S to ry .. . ”
educational kit utilizes storytelling to
develop and enhance these language
skills.
“ IBM shares the view of many
teaches that a whole language philoso­
phy encourages creativity in the proc­
ess,” said James E. Dezell Jr., IBM vice
president and general manager of IBM
Educational Systems. “ We hope that
this project not only has sparked the
imagination and involvement of chil­

dren across the nation, but also en­
hanced teachers’ efforts to teach essen­
tial writing and reading skills.”
The comprehensive “ Tell Me A
Story.. .’’ educational kits were mailed
last October to each of the 73,000 ele­
mentary schools across the country, and
the contest was announced in the Octo­
ber issue of Good Housekeeping. An
estimated three million school children
were exposed to the program. A lesson
plan led the students through oral and
written activities to prepare them to re­
search and write their own folktales
based on information they learned from
their families and communities. These
stories were entered into the national
contest.
“ This program, now in its second
year, creates an enthusiasm among
children for chronicling their families’
history in the form of an old-fashioned
folktale,” said John Mack Carter, edi­
tor-in-chief of Good Housekeeping.
‘“ Tell Me A S tory.. . ’ provides Amer­
ica’s youth with the opportunity to
preserve what may otherwise be lost
forever.”

Oregon Employment Division
employees have developed a one-of-a-
kind computer program to assist in
processing filing options for compli­
cated interstate claims. Exploring these
options currently can take an experi­
enced employee from 30 to 45 minutes
foreachclaim . The computer program,
using a new technology called ‘ ‘Expert
Systems,” cuts the lime to 5 minutes or
less for each claim. Expert Systems are
specialized, high-level computer pro­
grams that evolved from artificial in­
telligence. Oregon’s Expert Systems is
being piloted in two Employment Divi­
sion field offices - Roseburg and Beav­
erton. The division hopes to apply the
program in all fields offices in the fu­
ture. Contact John Young, 378-8232 or
Curt Barnes, 373-7594.
Unemployment Insurance Simpli­
fication - A special committee of
Employment Division employees has
found more than 60 ways of improving
the processing of unemployment insur­
ance claims. The ideas range from
computer improvements to eliminat­
ing unnecessary steps. The ideas arc in
various stages of implementation.
Contact Sharon Kidder, 378-3214.
