Wi """""" School System's Fame Spreads To Remote New South Wales The fame of Eugene's school sys tem has spread far. Even unto such centers of culture and human ad vancement as New South Wales, the most populous state of sparsely populated Australia. Clarence Hines, present super intendent ot .the Eugene system, was informed of this far-flung fame through a pamphlet forward ed to him by Dr. J. F. Cramer, for mer Eugene superintendent. The pamphlet contains a reprint ing of a speech delivered last fall before the New South Wales legis lative assembly by Mr. E. D. Dar by, B. Ec, M. L. A. Report From Eugene After moving that a select com mittee be appointed to Inquire into and report upon the problem of decentralization of education in the state, Mr. Darby supported his mo. s5 (fl)00TRADE IN$ 5) (D 00 For a limited time only Thompson's offer $50 trade allowance for your old washer, regardless of make or age.

Part way through he said: "Before leaving the subject of schools in other parts of the world I propose to refer to the annual re port of the Eugene schools of 1941. "Eugene Is a town of about 20, 000, situated in the backwoods of the state of Oregon. "It controls its own educational system, and each year presents a report of its 4000 school children and their 145 teachers. There is an account in the re port of the activities ot the educa tional b.oard. The town has every. thing educationally, including two high schools. Each high school has its own symphony orchestra and band, and if a child is sick, its home is visited. In one year." Darby marvelled before the assembly, "every child was inspected by a school nurse. In addition, every child was given anti-tubercular treatment; and crippled children were given les sons by a school teacher in then- homes. "The board." he then added, "has assets of $1,500,000, and liabilities of $200,000. This year it received $450,000 and spent $380,000. "One Of The Best" "I admit," Darby concluded, "that this is a show district one of the best. But it indicates what can be done by a decentralized sys tem. "People (of Eugene) who read the report of the board are active. ly interested themselves in the ed ucation of their locality, in vivid contrast to the disinterestedness of the people of New South Wales Six, in Family Set Record For School Attendance MULGA, Ala.

The request was made in a tele gram sent by Joseph Drumheller, president of the Spokane Chamber of Commerce. "Official releases coming from high government officials that the Pacific Northwest is a disaster area are creating an alarming sit uation in the minds of people who desire to do business with us, and with thousands of tourists plan ning vacations here," the message said. . . . , Drumheller asked that President Truman issue a personal statement that "the Pacific Northwest is back to normal." Accident Mars Vacation Trip NEVADA CITY. Cal. (U.R) The proposed vacation trip of an Eagle Point, Ore., mother and her five children ended in the county nospuai nere. Mrs. Mary Picard. 38. and her children, Donald, 17, Beverly Ann, 13, Kenneth, 8, Penny, 4, and Ralph Picard Jr. 15 months, all were injured when their car brakes failed to hold arid the ve hicle plunged over a cliff 20 miles east of here. They were bound for Milwaukee, Wis., for a vaca tion. Hospital authorities said the mother appeared to be the most seriously injured and that the teen-aged children were hurt more than the smaller children. Highway Patrolman -George Hammill, who discovered the ac cident, said it was a "miracle' that any of them were alive. He said the car was completely de molished. Ralph Picard, . the children's father, lives in Medford, Ore. Honesty Beats The Humidity CHICAGO (U.R) There were 800 cases on the docket In Chica go's traffic court and with the temperature - and the humidity climbing toward the 100 mark, tempers were high, too. Stewart Becker, 19, approached prosecutor William H. Barth and asked that his case be heard then instead of next day as scheduled. Barth took a dim view ol the pro. spect. But Becker explained thai he thought he was supposed to come up for trial today on a speeding charge. This was the only time of the year he could take his vacation and he had made arrangements to go to Canada, "I wanted that vacation," he said, "but I also knew I had to appear for trial. So I went on my vacation and flew here from Can ada, thinking I was due here. It cost me $90 plane fare." Barth went into a huddle with Judge Gibson E. Gorman. "It is very refreshing on a bad day to find a young man of such a deep feeling of responsibility," Gorman said. "Case dismissed." Becker flew back to Canada and the rest of his vacation.
