They discovered that a dripping faucet like the kind many people have in their homes will' waste 308.2 gallons of water in four days. ' The count was taken by members of the board's water de partment staff as part of a display at the fair. It called for guesses on the number of gallons lost under ordinary condi tions. There were a tolal of 4,264 guesses in the contest. That included those of Gov. Paul Patterson and Mayor V. Edwin Johnson. The guesses ranged from 1.1 to 10,000,000 gallons of water lost in the four days. Winner was Ken Hickenbotlom, of 945 Hilyard St., Eugene. He guessed an exact 308 gallons. The EWEB's first prize of $10 was to be sent Tuesday. Second prize went to Jim Bowers, 2410 Potter St. on his guess of 307',i gallons. Third prize was won by Carl Cuddeback, 200 Sunset Dr., who guessed 309 gallons lost. Norman Johnson, director of the water department, figured that 30.6 per cent of the entries guessed less than 100 gallons lost, 22 per cent were from 100 to 200 gallons, 9.4 per cent were from 200 to 300 gallons. That meant 63 per cent of the guesses were under the correct figure. Fifty-three of the entries were within 10 gallons, more or less, of the correct amount lost during the four days. Public Invited To Scrutinize School Texts Examination by the public of all textbooks being submitted for adoption on Nov. 15 has been in vited by the State Board ot Text book Commissioners. All comments should be sub mitted to the commissioners by Oct. 30, according to Dr. Rex Putnam, superintendent of pub lic instruction for the state of Oregon. Adoptions will be in elemcn- tary and secondary social studies, homemaking, music, art, and conservation, and high school bi ology, physics, and physical sci ence. 1 The books are available for ex amination at the offices of each of the commissioners and the secretary, Joseph I. Hall of the slate Department of Education in Salem. Dr. Lloyd F. Milhollen, director of secondary education of the Eugene Public Schools, is a member of the commission. The social studies texts are available for examination at de- nnsitories established by the commission at various central lneations in the slate. Among the depositories are the library of Southern Oregon College, Ash land; and at the stale library Salem.

Youth Home Funds Okayed The Lane County Board of Commissioners Monday authoriz ed the allocation of $3,200 to fi nance the correction of certain ex isting fire hazards at Skipworth Juvenile Home. Louis Sherman, Lane County juvenile department director, said Tuesday work is already un derway to eliminate some of the hazards pointed out recently by the state fire marshals office. Sherman said that the correc tive work should be completed within a week or two. The pro ject includes the installation of fire resistant material around two heating units at the home. Windows in the boys' dorm and girls' quarters will also be rede signed to provide emergency op eration from the inside and out side by use of a master key. The fire marshal's office last month gave Lane County 30 days in which to correct the hazards and "strongly recommended" the need for a new fire resistant building for restraining juven- Audit Shows District 4 In Good Shape The latest audit of Eugene School District 4 shows a current I operating ratio of 25.4 to 1 in current assets over liabilities, which the auditor states is "one of the best operating positions the district has ever had.
