, districts and a large number of
-ity of Prineville residents to dis
cuss the problem of overcrowded
schools here, plan a triD to Salem

scnooi Dnaras.
C. M. Slv. countv school suner.
Intendent, reports that members
01 the local board, in their con
rrt- wfh members of other
boards who have been engaged In
solution 01 tneir own problems of
a like nature, hope to profit by
learning of their experiences.
As a result of the meeting of
Monday night the Crook county
district board, it Is announced,
plans on presenting to voters of
the county in early 1950 a definite
program aimed at providing ad'
dltlonal school rooms here and in
removing the . status of city
Fcnnois irom "conditionally li'an
dard." ' ' Emerson SDeaker
The Monday evening session, at
wmcn -..aseiie coles, scnooi Board
chairman, presided, heard D. A.
fcmerson, assistant state superin
tendent of oublic instruction:
James Turnbull. buildlnps author.
Ity of the state department of ed
ucation, and Claude Freeman,
member of the firm of architects,
Freeman & Hayslip, answer Ques
tions pertaining to the school sit
uation in Prineville. Coles re
viewed the problem that has been
confronting Prlnev tile schools
since an upward trend In popula
tion, such as to demnrt new con
struction in 1936. In 1936, he cited
fie Mgh school attendance reach
ed 151. , Todav it is 392, and grade
school-' attendance in thnt time
haa grown from 305 to 1,455.
J New School Favored
' The school board, which has a
reserve fund of $20,000 for pur
chase of a proposed 15-acre tract
for a new high school, proposes
a new hft?h school building the
cost of which, complete with fur
nishings, will reach around $500 .
000. The new structure would
provide facilities for a student
body of 500 but would Include
basic Installations that would
make possible new units and the
accommodation of 750.
It is pronosed that the old hifh
school building be taken over bv
the county's elementarv school
system and utilized for classes of
the seventh and eighth grades,
thus relieving overcrowded condi
tions at the city's grade schools.
The peculiar set-up of the coun
ty's high school district, which
covers all Crook county except
that area of Powell Butte which
is in the Redmond union high
scnooi district, will necessitate vot.
ing two bond Issues. The elemen
tary school district covers the en
tire county, and all voters would
pass on a bond issue which would
be proposed for purchase from the
high school district of the old
school building. Another issue.
providing a sufficient fund over
and above the purchase price for
the old school, would be voted on
by all residents of the county, ex
clusive of the Powell Butte area
in the Redmond union high dis
trict. Big Sum Involved
. Architect Freeman estimated
that It will require an estimated
$500,000 in the two bond issues to
provide a high school to meet
local needs.
wnlls hrineviues schools arc
conditionally standard, Emci-son
and Turnbull in their Monday
night comments declared that the
state department of education Is
tolerant In applying its regula
tions, which may be severe
enough under Oregon statute to
bring about withdrawal of basic
fund allotments from the state.
They cited that school districts
are given reasonable time for
working out plans for meeting
regulations on standardization.
The men observed that Prine
vllle's problems are typical of
those hampering many other com
munities of the state of Oregon,
the population growth of which
stands at a record In the nation.

Indian Tribes
To Be Retold
Cherokee. N.C. ip The story
of human sacrifices offered to
save the eastern Cherokee tribe
from annihilation will be told
in a new historical drama next
summer.
The pageant will be presented
In an amphitheater on a moun
tainside in the Great Smokies.
Called "Unto These Hills," it re
veals the tragedy of the conquest
of the once-great nation of Chero
kees who held domain over an
area now included In eight south
ern states.
Some historians trace the tribe
back 15,000 years before the ar
rival of the white man. But with
in 300 years, the tribe had been
driven to the brink of extinction.
Colonists first recognized the
Cherokees as a nation-in a treaty
signed with South Carolina in
1721. By 1836 the Cherokees had
signed 38 other treaties, forcing
them first to surrender part of
their land and later every foot
of their original empire.
Long Story Told
The pageant traces the Chero
kep history of those years, open
ing with a scene depicting the
hospitality of the tribe to the
Spanish gnld-huntlnu expedition
led bv Pe Soto in 1540. ,
Scenes follow showing the Che
rokee refusal to enlist in a fed
eration of war with Teeumseh.
the Battle of Horseshoe Bend, the
saving of Jackson's life, and his
later refusnl as president to in
tervene and protect their lands.
The sequence depicting the
heroic sacrifice of the Indian
leader Tsall is based on the le
gend related by a tribal council
member to the Cherokee Histor
ical association, sponsors of the
drama.
Tsali refused to be herded with
his group into "America's first
concentration camp." he related.
In resisting, he killed a soldier
and with his band escaped into
the mountain fastness.
Officers sent him warning that
his tribe would be wiped out un
less he surrendered with his two
sons and his brother, offering
their lives for the preservation
of their tribe.
Chinese Reds
Enter Chungking
Hong Kong, Nov. 30 UP A
private report from Chungking
said 20,000 communist troops
stormed across the Yangtze today
and. enveloped the city from two
directions.
The report said the commu
nists crossed from the south bank
above and below Chungking un
der cover of an artillery barrage.
One column moved intd the su
burbs, the report said, and the
other struck out for Hochuan, 65
miles north along the Chialing
river in an attempt tocut the
road to Chengtu.
The report was published by
the Chinese press, wmcn annum-
ed It to a Chinese official here.

Tragic Fate
at Pageant
"He stood with his hands up
lifted, and Tsali was the last of
the four to die," the council mem
ber said.
"The four men stood In a
line, but they did not go down
together as might be expected be
fore a firing squad. Tsall was
not spared the sight of the sacri
fice of his sons and his brother.
He saw them fall, one by one,
at his feet, himself to follow.
"I know, because I have been
told by my people."
"Unto These Hills" concludes
with a scene depicting a second
White House conference, one
which gave the tribe new hope.
Like the world-renowned "Lost
Colony" pageant written by the
Pulitzer prize playwright Paul
Green, "Unto These Hills" has its
roots at the University of North

Many Questions, .
No Prizes; That's
Lot of Officials
Washington 'tPi It Isn't, much
fun having to answer about
1,175,000 questions a year and
not winning a single refrigerator
or trip to the North Pole for hav
ing the right answer.'
That's the Job done by the Agri
culture Department's office of in
formation. A check by Fred I.
Zimmerman, who heads the of
fice, showed that his staff handles
more than 1,000,000 written quer
ies a year, plus another 600,000
phone calls and some 20,000 vis
itors who ask their questions
first-hand.
Most of the questions, better
than 99 per cent, are sensible.
straightforwaVd queries that re
quire logical answers. But there
is a small fraction of the queries
that stump the department's ex
perts and cause howls of glee. .
. Some Questions
For instance, one woman want
ed the office to tell her what
color eyes potatoes have. Another
worried girl called up to find out
If angora wool grows after it has
been made into a sweater.
Mrs. Eleanor Clay, who works
In the Information office, said one
of her favorite queries came by
long distance telephone from
Hollywood. Mrs. Ciay said the
film executive who put the call
through wanted to know where
the department s memorial ceme
tery for livestock was located.
It developed that his favorite
cow-actress had just died. Mrs.
Clav said he seemed quite un
happy when she told him there
is no such cemetery.
Other amusing queries which
have plagued the department in
elude one from a man who want
ed seeds for a plant which would
grow food to make a person
smart. Another was from a
woman who was looking for spots
where fresh air could be found.
Often Stumped
Still another woman wanted to
know if silk could be made from
codfish, and one puzzled farmer
asked if animals could catch
spring fever.
Zimmerman and his assistant,
Mrs. Clay, admit they're stumped
often by the questions thrown at
them by the taxpayers. But, they
said, their office answers r large
majority of the queries directed
to them, and this results in a dol
lar saving to the government,
since a departmental expert does
not have to take time off to
handle the queries.
This knowledge, plus the occa
sional laughs they get, keeps
them happy even though they
never hit the Jackpot of prizes.
TEACHERS TO BE HOSTS

Lewis, principal of the Crooked
River grade school, reported l ues-
