WHY NOT GET TOGETHER?
For the purpose of providing; post-war employment the
city of Bend, the local school districts and the county have
either initiated, or are being urged to initiate, fund -raising
programs. The movement, begun last year, has met with
popular favor. The programs contemplate the erection of
buildings needed in greater or less degree for public purposes.
The people associate the idea of employment with their desire
to care for veterans returning from the wars. Current pros
perity bring taxpayer willingness to assume unusual burdens
m the torm 01 extra levies to meet construction uuugui.
As yet, with approval given only to ideas but with no
plans completed and cost ligurcs assembled, u is not possime
to say what the total expenditure will be. Something in the
nature of an estimate can, however, be mane una mat, an
mittedlv rough, suggests a grand total of around half a mil
lion dollars, the figure does not include anything on account
of the armorv that will be built if the people approve the
armory tax measure referred to them by the recent legisla
ture. It does cover the proposed gymnasium, vocational train
ing school, swimming pool, veterans building and other pos
sible items of school construction.
Now half a million dollars, in the vernacular of the day,
"ain't hay." It is an important sum for any Oregon commu
nity to raise by taxation even though the taxes be spread
over a period of years. (Five years is the time on which (he
local planning is being done.) A sum as important as that
should have great care in its spending. Everything possible
should be done to insure that maximum returns from the ex
penditure be had.
In the program under discussion the county, outside the
city of Bend, has only a minor financial share. The city and
' school districts are the agencies chiefly concerned and the
fact brings the undertaking out, to all practical effect, as one
in which the people of 15end are interested, all together and on
a common basis. School district interests and city interests,
so far as taxpayers and the people in general lire concerned,
are identical.
This being so is it not time for city and school district
officials to sit down together and do some joint planning in the
development of their building programs? At present, accord
ing to our understanding, the school othciais nave an architect
at work on possible plans for a gymnasium. None, we believe,
are in process for any of the other buildings that are planned
and, perhaps, it is too soon to make any but it is not too soon
to consider whether these buildings that are contemplated nre
to have any relation to each other. Are they to be asociated in
something of a community group or are they to be placed in a
hit or miss pattern in individual locations and regardless of
any general interest?
We hold strongly to the belief that the proposed swimming
pool should be associated with the gymnasium. We believe it
should be a facility with year around use including instruc
tion in swimming for pupils in the schools. Certainly, the
community does not want to spend, say, $50,000 for a pool to
be used for-only a few weeks in the warmer period. Cer
tainly, the best return on the investment would bo had by
making it usable for 12 months rather than for only 12 weeks.
Certainly economies would be possible in associated rather
than independent construction.
As things stand today the gymnasium is a school project
and the pool is the city's baby. The managers of the two
groups, however, represent virtually the same persons. Why
cannot they get together and bring in the veterans groin
leaders and lay out a plan for a community group of build
ings that will be in architectural unison, of service to the
greatest numbers and, once finished, most economical to main
tain? Will our readers express themselves on this subject ?

MARRIAGE MUST BE

The marriage relation between
mert and women appeared In
earlier days In many' strange
guises. In the- beginning, among
our savage ancestors, the woman
was the spoil of war, the property
of the man strong enough to seize

curious alterations.

THE HIGHWAY PROGRAM
(The Oregonian)
The state highway commission, j
budgeting expenditures of $33,-1
600,000 in feearal and state funds
for the three-year period starting ;
when federal money is released
by the downbeat of war, gave pri-,
ority to completion of lour big
projects on which $3,500,000 had;
been spent before war froze road-;
building. These are Portland's !
Front avenue, the Columbia river i
watergrade, the Warm Springs
cut-oft and the Wolf creek exten-1
slon to Portland.
All of those routes have a re
gional significance in that they
shorten distances to markets and
are timesavers. Of the total avail
able, $3,800,000 is earmarked by
federal match regulations to high
ways in urban areas. The corn-
been tried and abandoned many mission might have made more
times before. They are merely dif- friends throughout the state by

legal concubinage.
No matter haw many substi
tutes may be offered, no matter
how many theories may be pro
posed, there is only one perma
nent, normal relationship upon
which a home can be established.
That is the relationship of -one
man and one woman joined to
gether for better or for worse
until death do them part. You
cannot uproot the mating instinct,
or the desire of woman for home,
fireside, and children. So men and
women will continue to' fall in
love and to marry, whatever else
may happen to the world.
It has always seemed to me that
tho chief reason for the fact that
marriages at the Little Church

majority, successful, is because it
is not easy to be married there.
The cure for marriage ills lies not
in easy divorce, but in hard mar
riage. Because the Little Church was
started under the influence of the
Oxford Revival, it adopted the
Catholic idea of marriage. The
secramental aspect was empha
sized; the bridal couple must not

avenue job and allocated $3,079,;

The commission budgeted
$2,841,000 for the Sundial-Dodson
section of the Columbia water
grade route, and $717,000 for the
forest boundary-agency section of
the Warm Springs cut-off. A lot
of money already has been spent
on these projects, which are of
the greatest commercial impor
tance to central Oregon and its
western outlets, and neither is of
any use until completed. The
same may be said of the Davies
Sylvan section of the Wolf creek
highway, for which $2,270,000 has
been allocated.
Tho rest of the state has not

pointments may be expected since
