New Frances Willard School
Eugene schopl officials and par
ents dedicated the new Frances
E. Willard Grade School Thurs
day night.
The new structure, with its 18
classrooms and modern facilities,
was the center of Attention for
more than 2 hours as several hun
dred persons toured the plant
. and attended the special cere
monies. Principal "Windy" Atkinson,
who told the audience he seldom
goes by his first name, Winfield,
accepted the new school for the
administration, following the pres

Trailer Park
Issue Studied
By Council
The public works and public
safety committees of the Eugene
City Council met Thursday to
consider changes to the city's or
dinance banning house trailer
parks, but failed to take action
after hearing arguments of park
operators.
Instead, the committee voted
to hold the issue for investiga
tion and iurther consideration.
About 12 persons representing
the trailer park operators in the
ftlenwood district east of Eu
ene met with the committees.
Their spokesman "was Eugene at
torney Donald Bach.
Bach again asked for a change
In the city's ordinance to permit
recognition of trailer house parks
"as a legitimate business." He
also asked that parking of house
trailers behind homes and on in
dividual lots be prohibited.
Several city councilmcn agreed
that "times have changed" since
the ordinance banning parks went
into effect. But they want to
study the changes that might be
possible before making a definite
recommendation to the full coun
cil. In other study, the committee
agreed to call a hearing for vot
ers in Eugene to hear opinion
on the Bethel annexation issue.
The full council was expected to
set the hearing date at an ad
journed meeting Friday after
noon. The hearing would be for
icity voters, to determine wheth
er or not they want to dispense
wan an annexation election with
in the limits of Eugene.

State's Growth
Pacing Needs
Of Education
Educators Hear
Chancellor-Elect
The growth of Oregon's econ
omic strength which is almost
keeping pace with its population,
lays at rest, the fear that resour
ces will not be adequate for the
task of educating the increasing
numbers of children. Chancellor
elect John R, Richards of the Ore
gon State System of Higher Edu
cation, said here Thursday.
Richards addressed northwest
educators, on the University of
Oregon campus for the sixth an
nual Conference on Higher Edu
cation. He spoke at the luncheon
meeting. Earlier in the day Dr,
O. Meredith Wilson, university
president, told of faculty growth
in the Northwest.
In Oregon, said Richards, there
always will be the basic support
for an adequate program of edu
cation at all levels. For the finan
cing of many activities which
might appear useful, higher edu
cation will have to search for new
sources of funds and many of the
activities will never be underwrit
ten. "New sources of funds .
are only a palliative in our search
for new strength," he said.
, Problems for which higher edu
cation must search for clear
solutions include the doubling of
enrollments within a period for
which planning must be done; the
special and new problems of edu
cating married couples in college
communities; acceptance of re
sponsibility for necessary spon
sored research; new complexities
in teaching in fields such as en
gineering, medicine and dentistry.

Josef leaned over and gave the mouthpiece his biggest "blow." Then, without making

Eugene Schools May Receive
$10,000 Rebate on Insurance
Eugene Public Schools will
save about $10,000 in fire insur
ance premiums during the 1955
58 fiscal year as a result of sub
stantial cuts announced Friday
by the State Insurance Commis
sion. Commissioner Robert B. Taylor
at Salem said that Fire insurance
premiums on school properties in
Oregon are being cut up to 45 per
cent, effective on April 1.
The reduced rates have been
filed by the Oregon Insurance
Rating Bureau.
Supt. Clarence Hines of the
Eugene schools said that the re
duction for District 4 may be
about 20 to 25 per cent, because
the Eugene school system has
taken advantage in' past years of
credits which have reduced the
local rates.
PRECAUTIONS CUT RATES
These, he said, include installa
tion of fire extinguishers at ap
propriate locations, using fire re-i
sistant materials in strategic parts
of buildings, and other precau
tions which have cut the rates.
John McBurney, Eugene insur
ance agent and chairman of an
insurance advisory committee
which' consults with the school
board on insurance matters, has
advised the board lhat the sav
ings for the coming year as a re
sult of the premium adjustment
will be at least $10,000. based on
information now available
The size of the reduction will
vary from school to school, do
pending partly on construction

changes made since schools were
last rated.
The reduction is the second one
in recent months for fire insur
ance. Hre rales on residential
properties were reduced 25 per
cent last September.
The overall reduction on school
buildings will mean a savings of
$250,000 each year to the school
districts of Oregon, according to
the Oregon School Boards Assn.
(OSBA.)
Gardner Knapp, Salem, presi
dent of the OSBA, said, "The re
ductions came as a result of the
continued insistence of the OSBA
that the fire insurance premiums
paid by school districts were too
high when compared with other
states."
Knapp said that a recent sur
vey made by his organization
and presented to the rating bu
reau showed that the rate of loss
paid to premiums collected in 85
representative school districts
over the state was only 14 per
cent.
In other words, only $255,764.04
in fire losses was paid to school
districts, compared to a total fire
insurance premium of $1,896,
507.77 paid by the same districts
in the 5-year period covered in
the survey.
TO ISSUE REFUNDS
Knapp said that the new rale
will apply to fire insurance poli
cies now in effect. Insurance com
panies will issue refunds on all
policies extending beyond April
1, 1955, charging short term rates
at the old schedule up to April 1
Hines said that the local reduc
tion means that the Eugene school
system will pay an estimated
$46,302 for fire insurance in the
coming year. This includes de
preciation insurance, covering
the depreciated cost of buildings
Without the new savings, ar
estimated $57,879.70 would have
had to be paid. These are only
estimates, adopted by the Budget
Committee for District 4, and may
change.

McBurney 'pointed out that the
exact Eugene school premium re
duction cannot be determined at
this time. He said that it would

but may not be figured for an

It will result in a minimum
reduction in premiums for the

Springfield schools will also

tion. The school district s insur

the reduction will be Friday,
