In addition to the traditional Christ mas carols with which the winter concerts of the Women's Choral club have always closed, another feature of the program "will be the Alicia McElroy orchestra from Portland, which will play two groups and accompany the chorus in several of its numbers.

French Rebirth May Be Starting (CONTINUED FROM PAGE 1) in the exaction of great penalties by the Germans. Already they are speeding their round-up of ene mies of the nazi regime. The glittering blade of the guillotine is again In operation. ' f This column recently resorted that Britain seemed worried lest the growing sou-It of revolt among the peoples of the occupied coun tries might result in premature uprisings against the Germans. This could only hurt the allied cause, since the punishments in- mcted ty tne nazis would tend to intimidate other conquered nations. Since my renort. but nrior to the Laval incident, London broad cast a warning to the French not to revolt too soon and thereby risk their lives unnecessarily. w w m BY THE WAY: Freauentlv there Is a thought which I should like to call to the attention of the reader but which is irrelevant to the subject under discussion and so is discarded. Perhaps this dif ficulty can be solved by using this little "by the way" space from time to time for such briefs. Here is today's by the way: ii one ot ttiose gossipy spar rows told you that a mountain of American dollars would enable the Chinese to' rush the building of a railway along that lifeline known as the Burma road, which winds its way daringly through mountain ranges and ereat gorges and if the bold bird further suggested that this was sympto matic of a sensational all-out aid which would mean that Jaoan never could subjugate China then would you think this ex Dlained in part the anxiety of Nippon to reach some under standing with Uncle Sam? Any way, keep an eye on the Burma road. Kehrli Comments On New Budget Law's Effect on Schools (CONTINUED FROM PAGE I) November 15, 1942, he would be required to cay at least another $25 of school taxes. If the taxpayer chose to cay hi taxes for the 1942-43 fiscal year in full at that time, it would cost him $100. Thus he would actually pay $200 in school taxes in mi, in comparison witn iuu this year. If he pays only the Quarterly amount on November 15, he will still pay $125 in school taxes, $25 more than this year. Kehrli holds that the openlna phrase' - of section 31 of the amendment, stating that "No levy or taxes for or applying to the first six months of the year 1942 ." provides the school boards with a loophole to escape the preparation of a six-month bud get. school omciais also maintain that Section 30 of the new law. calling for the preparation of a B-month budget irom any organ ization "for a fiscal year closing on any day other than the thir tieth day of June . . ." distinctly leaves them out, since their fiscal year has been on a July-June basis for some time. The bureau director adds that difficulties of a similar nature have been experienced by cities whose fiscal years ended on some other date than December 31. For example, Oswego, with a fiscal year ending November 1, has an eight-month period for which to levy before the new fiscal year' can be put into effect. He has ad vised city officials to prepare a budget on the basis of 66 2-3 per cent of their 1B41 levy. - The payment of more taxes for school purposes in 1942 under the school boards' proposed budgets would serve to bring their actual tax receipts closer to the date of exnendltures. School boards claim they now begin expenditures in September, and do not receive tax money for these expenses until March of the following year. GRASSHOPPERS Grasshoppers, like other Insects, breathe through openings in the sides of their abdomens, and can not be drowned by holding their heads under water. . BIG BUNCH One bunch of bananas, grown in Ecuador, contained 10 hands of the elongated fruit, weighed 84 pounds and stood 38 inches high. EVAPORATION Moisture evaporation from land areas on which vegetation grows is much greater than from water surfaces of corresponding area.

The youth, convicted of -slaying Douglas F. Smith of Aberdeen near Arlington on une 11, will be executed in the lethal gas chamber at the state, penitentiary October 30. ... "I did not Intend to' do it," Thomas replied when the court asked him if there were any reasons why he should not be sentenced.' Sheriff Frank E. Bennett, and a guard left for Salem with the prisoner. Thomas testified he had hitched a ride with Smith near Couer D' Alene, Idaho, and "on the spur of the moment" decided to shoot him.
