CLEARING THE DEBT
News of the sale of the 40 acre tract, held for years by or
for the Bend Stampede and Water Pageant association for
possible development as race track and rodeo grounds, is good
news. It suggests that, after all, there is some good use to
which the land may be put; by providing the means tor paying
the debts which the association had accumulated in the past
two years, it removes the obstacle which had stood in the way
of continuing tne Mirror pond pageant tnis year.
Directors of the association had wisely decided against at
temDtinir to carry on with the popular Fourth of July spec
tacle until outstanding obligations had been met. The price of
the land, plus a small cash balance, will take care ot these.
Very little will be left but the association will at least have a
clean slste, a rehabilitated credit and important capital assets.
From this start there is no good reason why the pageant can
not be undertaken and successfully completed. Adherence to
sound business principles will, of course, be essential.
And, if we may BUggest, a return to the simplicity of the
pageant in its beginning years could well be considered. This
would serve the double purpose ot restoring tne natural
charm which was notable in early pageant presentation and
of reducing the costs which have mounted progressively as
increased emphasis has been laid on artificial appeal. Over-
elaboration to the point of ganshness, the laudable but mis-
taken attempt to promote "bigger and better" shows season
by season have in our opinion detracted from the pageant's
effectiveness rather than enhancing it.
GRADING THE GRADUATES '
Yearlv. when high school graduation exercises are held in
the Bend gymnasium, it is observed that ten of the capped
and gowned seniors are wearing yellow tasseled cords, ihey
are the "top ten", which means simply that they hold the ten
highest grade averages in their class for their four years of
high school work, it will be so again this year, but with a dif
ference. Where ordinarily girls are in the majority in the
group, seven of the high raters this time will be boys. JNot
only that, but the ranking four in the "top ten" will also be
of the supposedly non-studious sex. Still another shattering
of tradition, the boy with the biggest average of all, Tom
Niebergall, is also an outstanding athlete. Wonder if their
successors, the current junior class, will continue the upset.
Not if the girls can help it, we are sure.
RESTORED PARKING SPACE
Re-grading and surfacing of the vacant lots on Bond street
back of the city hall may be taken as indication that no im
mediate plans for other development of the property are in
mind. This being so, their availability for general off-street
parking is an improvement which will be appreciated by
local drivers and the traveling public alike. Demand for such
space has been increasing steadily over the years and, until
the lots in question can be turned to a better use, they will
at least help to meet the need. v ';
For the benefit. of tourists and others who will not know
that Bend has made such provision for their convenience,
signs pointing the way to the restored parking space will be
helpful.
Award of one of the coveted fellowships in the Harvard
graduate school of education affords not only unusual oppor
tunity to the recipient but is in itself a distinction. The honor
which has thus come to Bend's city school superintendent.
James W. Bushong, is one which the community, as well as
he, has every right to value highly.

(NF.A Washington Correspondent)
Washington (NEA) The re
publican party, inserted blind ads
in Washington newspapers to
draw crowds for its $1 box-lunch
supper at the capital's Uline
arena. Ihe affair Was called a
"Lincoln Day box supper," al
though it was heltl on Feb. 6. The
ad said everybody would be wel
come. It said Fred Waring's or
chestra would he there along with
two masters of ceremonies, plus
rounu and square dancing. It told
where tickets could be bought, but
it didn't mention that the GOP
had anything to do with it.
lhis moved Ken. Andv Biemil-
ler (D.,Wis.), to make a speech
on the floor of the house:
Mr. Bicmiller: "What. oh. what
has become of the. trumpeting
elephant that was once the repub
lican party.' An ad for a Lincoln
day dinner without mention of the
Grand Old Party. I have not felt
so old since Shirley Temple had
a baby.
"Could it bo that the republi
cans have suddenly grown self
conscious of the deep rift be
tween the philosophy of Lincoln
and the moribund policies thev
pursue in narrowing circles?
Could this be a now and modest
humility? I doubt it. . . .
"Blazon everybody welcome In
your ads and hope that entertain-
ment will do what republican pol
icies have not been able to do
win a large and appreciative audi
ence. . . .
"While I applaud the wisdom
of tills ad and the glowing timid
ity of the minority party, I shed
a single tear of farewell.'
"Gone Is my youth when a wild
elephant trumpeted through these
halls to rescue Pauline from the
perils of welfare, legislation. In
Its place sits a titmouse."
But the republicans really had
the last laugh. On the same'nlght
that the republicans had their
dollar box-lunch party in Wash
ington's Uline arena, 2000 demo
tion in honor of Vice-president
Alben Barkley and his bride. It
was an affair so bon ton that one
of the Washington society editors
asked somewhat rhetorically,
"Are there really any republicans
left?" The answer was that there
were 13,000 of them out at the
GOP box-lunch supper, at that
very moment, with 3000 more to
be turned away later. In other
words, they outnumbered the
democratic crowd eight to one, at
competing rallies.

hate filled 1280 pages of the Con

The answers to everyday
insurance, problems
By ANDREW FOLEY and
GORDON H. RANDALL
Insurance Counselor
JLk.
QUESTION: What advantage,
if any, is there in carrying
"comprehensive" insurance on
a car? It is always mentioned
in connection with fire and
theft insurance and is suppos
ed to cover about everything,
but I notice I still have to buy
collision and public liability
and property damage insur
ance anyway.
ANSWER: Actually the "com
prehensive" fire and theft in
surance policy is the best form
to buy. It costs very little more
than the ordinary fire and
theft policy and its coverage is
much broader. The insurance
company makes certain excep
tions for which it will not be
liable but assumes responsi
bility for just about any other
form of damage. Even stains,
damage from falling objects
and glass breakage are cov
ered under this policy,
If you'll address your own
insurance questions to this of
fice, we'll try to give you the
correct answers and there will
be no charge or obligation of
any kind.
