SILUERTO r J HAS
RALLY
Heed ; for Enlargement' of
School - Plant - is .' Ex-
plained t
SILVERTON; Feb. S Robert
Goetx, superintendent of SI Iyer
Jon schools, and Dr. R. E. Klein
sorge, - chairman of -. the focal
board of education, endeavored
to explain measures of the school
election which will be held hem
February 5f at a school rally held
at the Eugene field auditorium
Monday night. - j L
In spite ot the numerous other
affairs held elsewhere the- same
night a very good audience was
present at the rally. Alt O. Nel
son, chairman of the chamber of
commerce school - committee, ar
ranged for the rally, and acted as
chairman of the evening, 1
Goetx was the first speak
er. He outlined the needs of the
school, particularly '. the senior
high school which is at present
entirely" too crowded.. He explain-?
ed that a large number of pupils
who wished to take manual train
ing had, been turned away from
that department and told to take
something else because there
simply was not roem to: tare fer
them.: The -home economics de
partment -and the commercial de
partments; too. are v-bo crowded
that It is lmpossial&Tte give the
students the best ot advantages.
Mr. Crbetz explained that a nuxn
- -ber o- pupils never went any fur
ther than through high school
and, he said; it was his desire
. and that of the school board to
- give these as well as the others
as practical a training' as pos
sible, so that they will! actually
hare something to lean on when
they are through school.; ;
Following Mr. GoeU'.. talk. Dr.
Kleinsorge took - the floor and
showed the listeners just how the
school' board . proposed to remedy
these over crowded conditions;
Land Is -Needed' ! j
"We want to add an addition
said Dr. Kleinsorge, ''at an ap
proximate cost of f 3 6.000. We
would like to add thrs to the
north side of the present building
and this would mean the pur
chase of additional property. Bat
we will have a better ! building
when we are through and another
thing we do have property to
the east of our present building,
as has been pointed, out, but it Is
here that our Smith-Hughes shops
stand and If we should tear these
down and then have to build
them elsewhere again and ! we
feel It may be cheaper to acquire
new "property on which to bulldr
" He went on to explain that the
board planned to make one room
out of two of the small class
rooms In the present class rooms
by- taking 'out partitions and to
convert the study hall Into class
rooms space. The study: hall now
has seats Jor about half of, the
students in the senior high
school.'- . ; j
Dr. Kleinsorge said .thit he had'
heard there was a rumor to the
effect that this would also- mean
a new heating plant, i. This, he
said, was net true as the heating
plant they how had had sufficient
reserve capacity to care for any
addition they might build. U
In comparing the taxes of Sil
verton with those in the other 28
first class districts (schools with
1090' or more pupils) Dr. Klein
sorge pointed out that 21 of
these had higher expense per cap
ita than Silverton and but seven
had lower.! The raillage tax "at
Silverton was 14th from the top
be said. For Instance, he gave the
following statistics: Silverton's
tax was 21.15; McMInnrille. 24.
65; Milwaukee, 28.24; The
Dalles 29.99; Medford, 33.89.' In
the 181 city districts in Oregon,
Silverton stands 127th place
from the top forcost per capita
pupil,. and S3 from the top in the
tnillage tax. . -- -' . ,
No mils Outstanding
- Dr. Kleinsorge went on to- say
that Silverton's district had no
outstanding . bills. The schools
here' are run on a cash basis. All
running expenses and some of the
Indebtedness and the Interest is
paid, each year. And. this new ad
dition will not, he said Increase
the taxes. They will continue to
place 11 of their budget on the
interest and bonds "and: by doing
this the new. addition can be com-
Jfpleted out of debtednes in nine
"years. r, .

The new Ford has more thai

EVIDENCE of the) ihigli quality built into Jhe new Ford
is the extensive use of ball and roller bearings. 1 There .
are more than twenty in all an unusually large num
ber.! Each bearing is adequate in size and,, carefully
selected for the work ft has to do. u'
At some points in the Ford chassis yon will find ball .
bearings At others, roller bearings are used regardless
of their higher cost. The deciding factor is the per
formance of the car. ;'""! n-
The extensive use of ball and roller bearings in the
new Ford insures smoother operation, saves gasoline
increases speed and power, gives quicker pick-up, de
creases noise, and gives greater reliability and longer life
to vital moving parts, v v" . - !
" - ' Other outstanding features that make the new Ford
a value far above the price are the Triplex shatterproof
glass windshield, silent, fully enclosed four-wheel brakes,
four! Houdaille double-acting hydraulic shock absorbs
era, aluminum pistons, tchrome' silicon alloy valves,
thj-ee-quarter floating rear axle, Jlnslless Steel, the ex
tensive use of fine steel f orgings, and unusual accuracy

Monday's springlike weather

tamn. "jj .'- '''.;, --r.-,. ..'.,
It .was reported from more
than one source. last. - fall,
that the Indiana of western
Oregon were saying that this
winter. would be a hard one;
hot next winter, and! for
some' winters to come, na
ture would revert., to the
good old Oregon type of open
winter. Certain denizens of
.the -forest who burrow. Into
the earth ' for winter cover,
were said to be mailing very
deep , boles last falL as
though they," too, sensed' the
approach! of severe winter
' weather. :i :" ' ivr -.
Now it would seem ' that
nil less the groundhog Is able
to bring about freezing, and
snow and icicles through hfar
' observations of shadow to
day, that the Indian's pres-
. age, and the earth dwellers
actions, must be set aside
this year, as being Untrust
worthy. Who cares any
