THE 47TH YEAR
The date line on the front page of The Bulletin has begun
since last December with "34th Year", This reflected the fact
that the paper had its beginning in 191fi. It was the daily edi
tion, however, that was started in that year on December
6. Previous to that date there had been a weekly edition and it
.was continued with the daily for over 10 years.
When "34th Year" is used it covers the life of the daily
paper only and there is no observance of the fact that the
weekly had its beginning back in 1903,
We think that such disregard of the longer life of the paper,
The Bend Bulletin, weekly and daily together, does not do
xight by this institution which is not only the oldest in uena
but that with the longest record of the same management. We
are making a correction and hereatter the years oi tne paper
are to be numbered from the time of the first issue of the
weekly edition in March, 1903.
Thus The Bulletin is now in its 47th year.
Overloaded
AT SEASON'S END
The season is over and the state tournament and we think it
should go down in the record that Bend high school had one
of the best basketball teams that has ever responded to the
efforts of an able coach. The only trouble was that most ot tne
Oregon .high schools also had unusually competent teams, re
sulting in a remarkable fine state playoff for the champion
ship at Eugene last week. There was the keenest of competi-
i i n4-.,.,i u;i;t., v,n.n4- ilin
UOn ano very little Ullici Uliuc ill aLLiuu aunitj iu ncpoitc mc
winner from the others who, one by one, were eliminated.
It will be recalled, indeed, that in the season's schedule Bend's
Lava Bears had played on even terms against the fast squad
which eventually ran off with the state title, although the two
did not meet in the tournament.
That, of course, detracts nothing from the Salem achieve
ment. It does, we think, establish the class of Roger Wiley's
basketball squad. To coach and players our congratulations on
their work in the season now ended.
WHICH TO TREASURE SPACE OR TRUTH? .
, Remember the letter that Ben Buisman, editor of the Ore
gon Grange Bulletin, wrote us about an editorial of ours on
the misrepresentations in an article from the League for CVA
printed on the Grange Bulletin's editorial page? Kenneth W.
Sawyer, formerly county agent in Jefferson county and now
secretary of the agricultural committee of the Portland cham
ber of commerce, was in the picture, too.
We printed the Buisman letter just as we had previously
printed the League for CVA article and Kenneth Sawyer's
letters. Now we find that Ben Buisman has printed on his
editorial page the letter he wrote us and by way of introduc
tion he said :
Under ordinary circumstances we are Inclined to treas
ure space on this page more than to devote it to material
such as that which follows but In deference to those Grange
i members who recently received a packet of material from
Kenneth Sawyer of the Portland chamber of commerce,
t ' which had some things to say about another' article which
J appeared on this page December 5, we are publishing a letter
we wrote on the subject to The Bend Bulletin.
; (The Bend publication had published the material from
Sawyer in its entirety and invited us to comment on it. The
letter which follows was in response to that invitation.)
This letter to us, which we printed on March 2, unless we
have overlooked something, is the only material that Mr. Buis
man has given his readers since the publication of that CVA
article back in December. He speaks of treasuring his space
but was willing to use it for the untrue CVA article.
It's because we treasure the truth that we have tried to give
to our readers the whole story of this Grange Bulletin-CVA
article phosphate fertilizer aitair.
Does the Oregon grange treasure truth?
Out on the Farm
By lis S. Grant
March 22 First it was Fluffy.
Now It's Jiggs. When spring
fever hits, it hits hard.
Jiggs had been restless and
feverish, and was always on the
wrong side of the door. Then he
would whine to get back in the
house or back outdoors, as the
case might be. He was indiffer
ent even about food, and talked
about his troubles all the time.
Yesterday when we got home,
a sad and dejected dog greeted us.
His tail drooped and he walked
toward the car with difficulty.
He was covered with mud, and
blood was matted on his head and
chest. His nose was swollen out
of shape, and one, eye was nearly
closed.
Last night our gay Lothario
was content to curl up by the
furnace and lick his wounds. A
bath restored some of his self
respect, and when he was dry
again, his white coat was soft
and glossy.
His restlessness Is gone. But
the cure was worse than the ailment.

the Valley was destroyed by fire
early today and fellow-Catholics
hastened to offer sanctury to the

who were forced 'o flee.
The blaze apparently broke out
in the Infirmary and spread rapid
ly to the massive granite chapel
and a guest house. Built on a
hilllop by the patient hands of the
gentle monks, the structures will
cost $250,000 to replace.
The fire raged out of control
for two hours while brown-clad
lay monks and white-robed choir
monks helped firemen from eight
surrounding communities fight
the flames.

WANTS TIME FOR
GARDENING
.. March 21, 1950.
To the Editor: . ..
Farmers seem to forget that
there are a good many people who
want to do just exactly what is
mentioned, mow their lawns.
Working until 6 or 6:30 doesn't
leave time for much gardening.
I've always been told that a
farmer works from sun up until
sun down.
Now I'm not much of a farmer
myself, but I've never known of
a, cow or 'chicken that could tell
time. So why will an hour make
any difference?

WASHINGTON COLUMN
IJIIUIIimwIMIUIIJIUIHIMMIIiMIIJIUUUIllltlJilUltllltlilUUIflUUiniUUUllUU
By Peter Edson
(NEA Washington Correspondent)
Washington (NEA) District of
Columbia's experience with vet-i
erans' trade schools may give a
clue to' what has gone wrong na
tionally with the GI below-college
level education.
Last July the D. C. commission
ers particularly Commissioner
Guy Mason became concerned
over complaints against the mush
rooming GI trade schools in
Washington. Over 300 academic,
arts and vocational schools had
been approved by the board of
education for GI training. The
board was required to certify on
ly that the schools had the facul
ty and equipment to train veter
ans. It had no responsibility over
the quality of the training.
Nearly 10 per cent of the dis
trict vets were enrolled in trade
schools, and 15 per cent more
were taking college-level courses.
The schools were doing a $10,000,
000 to $12,000,000 a year business.
There was no complaint against
the old-time colleges nor against
the established correspondence,
trade and vocation schools which
had been in business 20 years and
more. All the complaints were
against the newer schools.
e e
So a 20-man committee was
named to investigate. Leon G.
Chatelain, Jr., an architect, was
named chairman. Gino Simi of
the District of Columbia appren
ticeship office was made secre
tary. The committee was made
up of businessmen, labor repre
sentatives and public figures.
There were no spokesmen for the
trade schools. But all the veter
ans' organizations were represent
ed to look out for GI rights.
Almost immediately the com
mittee bogged down in disputes
on what it should do.. There was
at first a charge that the schools
had used fraudulent advertising
to attract students. Yet none of
the advertising was investigated.
One feeling 'developed in the
committee that all these new
schools represented new business
enterprises in the community and
that they should be encouraged.
Also, there was some feeling that
the schools were being fought by
labor unions that wanted to re
strict the number of men trained
in any trade to their own apprentices.
After six months of wrangling
over points like these, a number
of the members felt that the com
mittee wasn't getting any place
and ought to disband. The secre
tary resigned. The chairman ap
pointed himself a committee of
one to write a report.
The moral of this story, as It
can be applied nationally in all
the states, is that, unless mere is
good local inspection of vets'
schools, there are bound to be
complaints of abuses and waste
of both the taxpayers' money and
the GI entitlement to educational
benefits.
There is a great congressional
