Budget Study
On Agenda
For District 4
Review of budget develop
ments, and discussion of a pro
posed fact sheet on kindergar
tens, will be among the topics
discussed at a Monday night meet
ing of the Eugene School Board.
Lloyd F. Millhollen, assistant
superintendent of schools, said
budget materials are being drawn
together in preparation for the
March 7 budget meeting. Some as
pects of the budget will be dis
cussed Monday night.
Millhollen said he is preparing
a tentative fact sheet on kinder
gartens, costs, equipment, trans
portation and supplies. The ques
tion of public school kindergar
tens will be presented to Eugene
voters this May.
The board will also consider a
request from parents of children
who attend Lincoln Elementary
School. The request involves a
proposal to build a new Salvation
Army chapel in the vicinity of
bighth Ave. and Madison St.
Millhollen said some parents
object to the shelter, believing it
is too close to Lincoln School
These parents feel the shelter
will attract loiterers to the area,
he said. Lincoln School is at 650
W. 12th Ave.
The board meeting will begin
at 8 p.m., at the School Admin
istration Building, 275 E. 7th Ave.

, away in her basket. Lower photo is the mask of I-A-Kim,

parts of the sacred winter dance.

Tax Law Application
Could Add Revenues
Oregon is losing about $81,000
a year in taxes because it doesn't
invoke a provision of the law call
ing for a retaliatory tax on out-of-state
insurance companies. In
surance Commissioner V. Dean
Musser said in Eugene Friday.
Musser, reporting to the Legis
lative Interim Tax Study Commit
tee, said he believes the law has
never been used since it was
adopted more than ten years ago.
Rep. Clarence Barton (D-Co-
quille), chairman of the interim
committee, said the state may be
able to collect as much as a mil
lion dollars in back taxes from
several large out-of-state firms,
But he indicated a legal opinion
Sunset Home
Administrator
To Leave Post
The resignations of the Rev. B.
T. Gabrielsen, superintendent and
pastor of Severson Memorial
Home Assn. (Sunset Home) and
his wife, matron of the home, have
been announced.
The Rev. Gabrielsen said that
he plans to complete his work at
the home about March 31, and
will then take an extended vaca
tion.
He and his wife are resigning
their posts to "take a rest," he
said. Future plans for the couple
may include similar work in Seattle.
The Gabrielsons joined the
Sunset Home staff in 1954, when
the home had only 17 paying resi
dents and 11 life members. Now
there are 171 residents at the
home.
"The job has been a tremen
dous wear," the Rev. Gabrielson
said. "We haven't had a vaca
tion for 35 to 40 years."
No announcement has been
made on staff replacements for
the home.
12 Drivers
Suspended
The State Department of Motor
Vehicles has released names of 12
Lane County drivers whose licens
es were ordered suspended be
tween Feb. 8 and Feb. 11.
Length of suspension varies, de
pending on charges involved, rec
ommendation of court, discretion

department said some of the li
censes involving court recom
mendations may have been rein
stated after suspension was ordered.

will have to come first from the
attorney general.
The loss of revenue has been
uncovered during recent weeks
by interim committee investiga
tion, according to Barton. He
blamed the auditing of the secre
tary of state s office for failure
to discover the tax omission in
previous years.
Under the law, Oregon may col
lect taxes from out-of-state com
panles at the same rale those in
surance firms pay in their home
state, if any Oregon firms are
operating there.
There are four states Cali
fornia, Hawaii, Idaho and Texas
where insurance companies
serving Oregon pay a higher tax,
Under the unused law, Oregon
can collect taxes at the same rate
levied by the four states. If it
did do so, the state would get an
additional $81,397.67 a year in
come, according to Musser.
Series of Burglaries
'Puzzles 9 Eugene Police
Punling" is the
gene police describe a series of
office burglaries during the
past 12 weeks.
The pattern Is similar In the
24 break-ins which police are
investigating. Doors have been
battered down, windows broken
and desks and files ransacked.
The baffling thing is that
very little property has been
stolen.
Except for coins, often "cof
fee" money, kept in desks, the
total loss in property has been
less than $100.
Vandalism has been a more
serious problem, however. Dam
age has been estimated at more
than $1,000.
"The whole thing indicates
the work of amateurs," says Po
lice Chief Art Ellsworth.
Police detectives believe
many of the office burglaries
may have been committed by
the same parties. Most of the
crimes have occurred during
weekends.
The first break-ins occurred
Dec. 1 in two downtown offices.
A cash register was opened in
the Girl Scout office and burg
lars pocketed $62. Ten dollars
was missing from the second of
fice. The Jan. 14 break-in at the
Lighthouse Temple office at

Of the ReglaterSoud
way Eu- 1209 Olive St. is typical of the
methods used in the burglaries.
Police believe a sledge hammer
was used to smash a hole in the
office door.
Once inside, the burglarrs
used a claw hammer to open a
metal box. A total of $3.50 in
coins was stolen. Contents of
desks and files were dumped on
the floor. Police found the ham
mer outside the building.
Eleven more offices have
been burglarized since that
time, with the major loss re
sulting from vandalism.
Notes have been found at a
number of the burglary scenes.
One contained this message: "I
was here. Me too; Me too."
Another note warned: "Keep
this to yourself, or else."
Police said the warning was
pinned to a card that said:
"Hope this little message will
brighten up the day and show
you're being thought of in just
the warmest way."
"We don't think it's very fun
ny," says Ellsworth, "and when
we apprehend whoever is re
sponsible, I bet they won't
think it's very funny either."
The sun heats the glass and
mercury in a thermometer, caus
ing it to record a temperature
higher than that of the air.

Lumber Price
Rise Expected
Green fir lumber prices have
become firmer after a period of
difficulty, and Random Lengths,
the Eugene market letter, said
this week that a gradual increase
in price levels is indicated.
The mill price of green stand
ard and better dimension has in
creased about a dollar per thous
and over the past two weeks, the
letter reported.
Crow's Lumber Market News
Service, Portland, reported its
index shows a slight decline in
the two-week period ending Feb.
18. The index covers all north
west species.
Plywood prices continue to
present a confused picture, Ran
dom Lengths said. Sheathing
prices are off at most mills. Sand
ed stock is at $66 and firm.
Attend Conference
Nine members of the Eugene
Golden Age Club and several
members of the Springfield
group were in Salem Thursday
to attend the Oregon Health
Council Conference.
Six of the Eugene delegate
put on a musical presentation
for the conference, and some par
ticipated in panel discussions on
the Golden Age program for sen
ior citizens.
Navy Officer
Describes Life
At South Pole
Antarctica may have once had
a temperate climate, members of
the Springfield Kiwanis Club
were told Thursday noon.
LL John Hilt, a young, naval
flier who returned recently from
a 65-day stay at a base near the
South Pole, said scientific expedi
tions have discovered fern fossils
in the antarctic, indicating the
climate once was much more
mild.
Hilt is assigned to a U. S. Navy
squadron participating in "Opera
tion Deep Freeze.
The pilot, who left the Antarc
tic Dec. 26, said his squadron left
Christchurch, New Zealand for
the South Pole region in early
October. This is the best period
for flying in the Antarctic be
cause the sun shines 24-hours a
day and temperatures are only
about 20 degrees below zero, he
said.
Some four-fifths of the world's
ice is located in Antarctica, a con
tinent of rocks, snow, ice, and
volcanic ash that is twice as large
as the United States, the speaker
said.
The elevation at the South Pole,
he explained, is 9,200 feet above
sea level "and it is all solid ice."
Hilt said the base where he
stayed is about 700 miles from
the South Pole and can accom
modate 400 men. It includes a
small chapel, mess hall, and liv
ing quarters.
Surveys are now being made
from the base for possible con
struction of hard-surface runways,
Hilt said. If runways can be con
structed in the Antarctic, military
aircraft from the Far East to
South America via the South Pole
can save two days in travel time
over present routes, the pilot
said.
During the next five to six
years. Hilt said his squadron will
photograph the entire Antarctic
continent. "This will be a tre
mendous project but well worth
the effort."
Hilt said the Antarctic base has
great importance as a weather
station and as a center for scien
tific expeditions.
Japanese Films
Seth P. Ulman, originator of
two new films on Japanese clas
sical drama, will show his films
in the Museum of Art Monday
at 8 p.m. on the University of
Oregon campus. The films are
of Japan' Noh and Kyogen
drama.
