adopted a recommendation on the
control of diseases, insects and

The committee urged adequate
pastures for all livestock and that

Dr. Ralph W. Leighton, dean of
the school of physical education:
"Hollis should do a tine job as

Dean Eric W. Allen, School of

"The appointment of Hollis, to
those familiar with the general
situation, appears quite obviously
correct, proper and probably sat
isfactory to all concerned. Hollis
Is young, vigorous and exception

always is willing to seek and con

when the evidence is all in tie Is
inflexible though tactful. He then

Red, A Juvenile
(CONTINUED PBOM PAGE 1)
still there, and In torn schools,
particularly the large ones, it is
really so bad that I think it is the
number one cause ot juvenile de
linquency. My reasons? They are
simple. Here you have this
"clique" and those unfortunates
who don't have the personality,
money or whatever it may take to
get In It, find themselves without
a gang to run around in. Quit na
turally they fall In company which
Is a little odder and a little rough
er, than they would, were they in
the group tht has all the fun at
school.
The girls, not being asked out by
the boys, fall into the company of
a tougher gang of girls, and soon
you have the "bad moral situa
tion" which needs cleaning up.
The boy who is similarly affect
ed also finds himself in a rougher
element and Is starting also on the
downgrade. This is most certainly
not always the case but on closer
investigation I am quite sure you
would find that it is just about
number one, as far as reasons go
for the juvenile who is becoming
delinquent.
Because for some strange reason
the proposed plan has not yet been
made public, I cannot discuss it,
but feel that it Is the best attempt
ever made to correot the situation.
But one big thing is being over
looked. It is going to be fine for
the juveniles who are not in anv
trouble, and it will undoubtedly
help to keep them from getting in
trouble In the future.
Nevertheless, there are still
those who are on the "borderline,"
or who already have been in a
"situation." Maybe It's only hu
man, but kids just like their par
entsoften are cruel to those not
up to their own standards. They
will boycott the "almost delin
quents," who will feel as com
pletely out of place as they did be
fore. What we need Is something
more important than belonging to
the "clique," something that will
make a member of the "social set"
feel Just as friendly toward a per
son who has been Involved with
the law as he does to one who has
hot
Go ahead with the new recrea
tional program, because it Is badlv
needed, but please, oh please won't
you oo away with that curfew
law? (I want to keep my girl out
till Just a little past 10 o'clock so
that I might take more than just
two seconds to say good night!)
On hearing some of the kids
around town talk, some of the ob
servations I picked up were. "I'm
going in the service before long.
Why can't we be allowed to choose
some of the things we want to do.
Just because our girl Is sixteen?"
One 16-year-old girl stated that
arm thought we should be allowed
to go out till later hours if we felt
we wanted to, because, it Is prac
tically impossible to get a date ov
er with by 10 o'clock, except on
school nights. She further stated
that the new proposed program
would be fine, but when there was
a date Involved she shouldn't be
made to be off the streets by 10.
The point Is that only a few.
very few of us don't conduct our.
selves properly when out at night,
or on a date, and that we are out
right disgusted with the new or
dinance that Is ruining our recrea
tion altogether. (Meaning the cur
few). To add further argument against
the curfew, it Is not stopping
things that it Is Intended for. It
is merely putting .tern under cov
er. Sure we have to get off the
streets, but we can go to a "rat
race" out of town, or pile in our
cars, go out and park where the
curfew can't get at us. Tf onlv the
"city fathers" would resllre It
they have created a dangerous sit

L J. KOUPAL
By MARGARET THOMPSON
I. J. '-Jake" Koupal has been
handling freight around the South
ern Pacific freight depot for many
years 3SV, to be exact but the
other day he took his retirement
and from now on will visit the old
place only to say hello to the boys.
On doctor's orders, ha is tak
ing life easy, although he hate to
quit before the war is won.
"If terrible down there," he
says, "the warehouse Jammed
with important freight all the.time,
stuff that's got to move for the
good of the war effort. I've been
receiving, sorting, moving and con
signing freight in my dreams ever
sine I quit work."
"Jake," as he is known to hun
dreds of Eugeners has been ware
house foreman for a good many
years. He came to Eugene as a
youngster, In 1889 and lived near
Springfield Junction. As a child
he watched the woodburning en
gines panting and struggling over
the Judklns Point grade "with
great long trains of as many as ten
or fifteen cars," and made up his
mind to be a railroad man.
Hired in 1&07
A. J. Gillette, who was general
freight and passenger agent for
the Southern Pacific in Eugene tor
many years, hired young Koupal,
April 7, 1907. "It's not much of a
job. Jake." he said, "just helping
and running errands, sweeping out,
and so on, around the freight depot,
learning the business."
But Jake stayed with it, ad
vanced to checker, and then to
warehouse foreman. He started at
$1.50 a day. 11 hours and no Sun
days, no vacation, no pay for over
time, which was frequent. It was
not until the wage adjustment in
1917 that he began working eight
hours a day, with pay for overtime,
and a day off. He says in the
whole time he has been working he
has only taken three weeks ot va
cation, up until the illness which
terminated his working time.
Jest Settln'
"So you see, I ve been in the
harness a long time, and I will
certainly enjoy- my leisure," he
laughed. "I'm going to devote my
self to learning the fine art of 'jest
settin". No special plans except to
do a little landscape gardening
around my home and maybe we
will drop down to Sacramento to
see our daughter Maryhelen (Mrs.
Wayne Watrous) before long."
Mr. and Mrs. Koupal live at 1350
Lincoln. He is a member of the
Brotherhood of Railway Clerks,
and of the Woodmen of the World.
Train Reservations
Sold Out to Jan. 15
Train reservations out of Eugene
are all sold until January 15 and
it is hard to get accomodations
on practically all trains, Ralph
Dean, S P district agent, stated
Friday.
Much passenger traffic has
been added by increased holiday
movements of civilians and sol
diers on furloughs, Dean ex
plained, and the return move
ments of these passengers will
continue until the middle of Janu
ary. The S P agent said that there
was in increase in holiday traffic
to and from Eugene this year over

Aluminum Surplus
For Civilians Urged
PORTLAND, Ore., Jan. 7. U.K
Deploring proposed shutdowns
in the aluminum Industry, the
newly organized northwest light
metals committee today recom
mended to Washington officials
that any aluminum surpluses be
diverted to civilian use and stock
piles. The committee, which met here
yesterday, urged thafif any plants
be shut down, reduction works
which obtain electricity from
steam plants, rather than from
hydro-electric sources, be closed.
Congressional delegations from
Oregon and Washington were
urged to block any tentative shut
downs on manpower grounds and
congress was urged to designate
an agency to sell or leas light
metal facilities.
Committee Picked

A f 25 war bond will be awarded
to the person who submits the
winning name, Cramer said.

Allied Backing
(CONTINUED FROM PAGE 1)
thereby adding immensely to his
effectiveness.
Defended by Allies
On two occasions, Bouscat was
caught in the crossfire ot French
factionalism. At first, both claimed
him because ot his acknowledged
ability. Later, both were greatly
disturbed ty his complete inde
pendence. But the squabbles end
ed when the highest Afglo-American
authorities wet to bat for
Bouscat, declaring that he was
absolutely indispensable it they
were to continue rearming the
French.
Early in the war, Bouscat was
a tour-star general commanding
the northeast French air forces
based at Nancy, and at the time
ot the armistice he flew to Al
giers. He now wears a fifth star
the same number as General
Giraud.
When a Frenchman is a good
soldier, he is a very good soldier
indeed. But developments in air
power are so fast, so fluid, that
it now takes a type of military
man exactly the opposite ot the
Maginot tradition to be of real
value. It is impossible to gear
French ground forces effectively
into Allied military conceptions,
which are geared to air, unless
this newer viewpoint has as much
place in the French army as it
has in ours, Bouscat's talent
goes a long way toward filling
this vacuum in French army af
fairs, and that is why Allied lead
ers are converging on Bouscat
Giraud In Command
Giraud Is commander-in-chief.
Yet after these months ot ob-!
servation, and all sorts of mili
tary conferences, it is plain that I
Giraud simply is riot up to the!
task of reorganizing the French 1
forces along modern lines. The.
Allied military leaders find to
their sorrow that whereas Giraud
is not a politician and that is all
to the good he is nevertheless
not a modern enough general to
fight this war as it must be fought
today.
DeGaulle may be a better gen
eral, but he is not up to it either.
DeGaulle Is the leader ot a move
ment which already has acquired
numerous political problems over
and beyond any place DeGaulle
might have In the leadership ot
the French army. This situation
throws off balance whatever mil
itary capacity he may possess.
De Gaulle Defied
Recently DeGaulle in a com
mittee ot liberation meeting made
the usual statement that he speaks
for the people of France, when up
jumped threa newly-arrived rep
resentatives of the French under
ground, who told him that France
will speak for herself. They
brushed him aside with the dec
laration that if he had remained
and suffered in France as they
had, he would know that
Therefore, it is amid such at
mosphere and to overcome the
military deficiencies of both Gi
raud and DeGaulle alike, that
Anglo-American leaders tell me
they turn so hopefully to Bouscat
in military matters.
It does not seem likely that he
will be sabotaged by political ele
ments on the National Committee.
I have been informed that Allied
leaders will back General Bouscat
to the limit and will not deliver
a musket to the French unless the
DeGaullists and the Giraudists
keep their hands off the man who
seems to be the best general in
the service of France.
It Is estimated that four-s'ev
enths of the agricultural produc
tion of the United States, meas
ured in farm value, comes from
plants originally domesticated by
the Indians.
