State Teacher Crisis Licked For Present i - - . ....... - i - Judging from the, recent absence of calls foe assistance, the teacher shortage has been overcome for the present term,- Supt of Public Instruction Rex -Putnam declared Tuesday.-, ..-v.-.-.i ; i The .outlook last June was; such that education department -joffi cials feared a number of schools, even including some in the larger cities, might have to close or op erate - with drastically reduced staffs this fall. A few small schools in rural districts have not open ed, transporting their pupils : to nearby districts. ; ; j ' . The teacher shortage was! re lieved materially by a 1943 legis lative enactment relaxing teacher qualifications for the duration of the war. Putnam' said more than 500 emergency teaching certifi- . cates were issued under this law. . In addition to these, approxi mately 300 retired teachers have returned to Oregon classrooms lhile 250 new teachers have been certified. It . normally ; requires S000 teachers to supply all of the Oregon schools. Putnam predicted that many teaeffers who have re- cevied emergency teaching certif icat'es - will comply with the per , manent - qualification demands within a. year or two. . 1 -" State education department rec rds show that virtually, all of ,the schools, slated to operate during the 1943-44 school year, are now ' open. A few schools in Hood River " county have not yet resumed op erations due to the I prune land pear harvest, i - lt it had not have, been for the new law enacted by the last legislature authorizing emergency teaching permits many schools " would have remained closed dur . Ing the current school year," f- ;. fi cials said. . Teen. Sgt. Russel J. Barnes, son of Mrs. Anna M. Kosse, route 1, Woodburn, is a prisoner of war, held by the Germans, according to a war department announcement. Lt. Albert E.

For lOwanis Postwar restoration of our state and national economy, solution of the employment problem and pay ing off the national debt must be solved . oh the level of each com munity, just as the third war loan was successfully financed through all the people in all the districts, George Aiken, member of the state postwar readjustment 'and devel opment commission, told Kiwanis dub members Tuesday. The alter native, Aiken suggested, will be national sialism. J , 1 I Buithe' biggest question, accord ing tome'speaker; "is what 'private capital will be "available: He sug gested rst tax- program which will allow private individuals to with hold sufficient capital, from taxa tion to rebuild industry," with; the capital to be Impounded after sev eral years if not put .to work. Along the - lines of providmg employment, Oregon has planned construction of seven dams in the Willamette -valley, a six-year state building . program,' vast reforesta tion projects In eastern Oregon, and is counting, on absorption , of workers further In the lumbering industry and - in farming. Jobs must be found for two years after the war for 130,000 who will re turn to and remain in the state. Aiken estimated." Of. these, 30,000 may be absorbed -on farms-without increasing-agricultural output Due to a probable building spree because -of the need ; forf several million homes in the United Jates, the lumbering industry is expected to absorb the rest About 175,000 obs are available now in Port land, Aiken estimated. The problem of paying off the national debt will depend upon the same spirit of faith which caused Americans to pledge 12 per cent of the entire national income for the third war loan during a 21- day drive, while still paying be tween 15 and 18 per cent in taxes, Aiken believes. - at Greeman army air field, Sey moury Indi an, advanced twoj-en- roofing the reservoir; decision on gine pilot school xifc.
