HIGH SCHOOL PLANNING Four years from now Bend's high school will be crowded. Five years from now it may be outgrown. By then the record elementary enrollments of post-war years will be high school enrollment. Since the war the school district has been building steadily to keep abreast of grade housing needs. In this period high birth rates were early evidenced in unusually large primary admissions. As the members of each first grade advanced, as many or more appeared to jam the newly vacated rooms. The high birth rate continued after the war. Many new families took up residence in Bend. To meet tne space prouiem tne district tried double shifting. It was unsatisfactory and the construction race started. To date 21 new rooms nave oeen placed in service. More are to be built this year. Still more will be built in each of the three succeeding years. In the meantime, the first of the out-sized primary sections has reached the entering grade in the hve-year high school. Larger classes are behind it. By the school year of 1952-53, high school enrollment will have swelled from the present 820 to 998, if we project the elementary enrollment figures. That is when the situation will be getting critical.. It 'will become progressively worse. By the time the last of the birth statis tics now available have been translated into high school regis tration, enrollment in the top five grades will have climbed to a 1,528 peak. That will be in 1959-1960. The figures we have used are taken from tabulations pre pared for the school board by the district superintendent, James W. Bushong. In the January report which contains them he concludes that the 1,528 maximum is too high and cuts it to 1,420, to allow for withdrawals. Still it is high Ptinmrh. His nrniections indicate that the axade load will ! reach its high point, 2,008, in 1956-57. It is now 1,531. In the next 10 years, that is to say, high school growth will be great er, in number as well as in percentage, than that in the ele mentary divisions. These tabulations were made up in connection with a show ing' that the high school needs of the next few years could be met with relatively minor new construction. This would con sist of a $10,000 gymnasium alteration, a $35,000 music room addition and a $135,000 'vocation building. It is possible that this $180,000 expenditure could be made when the time comes out of the proceeds of the 15 mill school district continuing levy without encroaching on the grade school building pro gran for which the levy was voted. The vocation building would free corresponding high school space, now used for mechanical drawing, shops and home economics, for ordin ary class room purposes. No new .gymnasium jor auditorium would be contemplated. The same tabulations are the background for a second plan, which was submitted in February. This is for a new senior high school and conversion of the old building to junior high school use. The junior high school (7th, 8th and 9th grades) would make unnecessary much of the elementary building construction now planned. But to do this the new high school would have to be ready for tho: school year of 1951-1952. Otherwise, grade school construction would have to continue which would result in surplus rooms after the new high school was eventually built and opened. One other comparison remains, that of costs. These would run some $353,000 higher for the new high school plan. There would be interest charges to increase th6 differential because a ,bond issue would be required to finance a new high school. Bonding is borrowing and borrowing means interest pay ments. How much would depend on the amount of bonds sold and the time for which they were to run. Much of the foregoing has been presented before. The re statement, however, is in order because it provides the basis for deciding an issue which the people of the district will have to decide. The issue, as it will be stated, will be "To bond or not to bond". The budget committee of the school district (the school board and an equal bers named by the board) has evinced its preference fur the new high school plan. A committee of the board is studying the costs, endeavoring to make sure that nothing has been overlooked. Its findings will be reflected in the proposal for bonding which is expected to be submitted to the voters this summer. i So expenditure and debt financing will bo at issue. But these other matters which we have mentioned will also be at issue. The question will not be a simple one. Only a fully informed electorate will be equipped to give the correct answer.

Jos eph McCarthy of Wisconsin has finally struck what for him may be pay dirt. By bringing out into the open the name of John Stew art Service as one of his state department security risks, Senat' or McCarthy may be heading the senate foreign relations succom mittee into an investigation of the whole far eastern division of the state department. Of course, the senate ioreign relations committee made one in vestigation of the slate depart ment's far eastern division in 1945. That was when Gen. Pat Hurley hurled his charges against the department after resigning in a huff as ambassador to China. Three of the men named by Gen eral Hurley as having sabotaged U. S. policy in China have now been named by Senator McCar thy. They are John Stewart Serv ice. Ambassador John Carter Vin cent, and John P. Davies, Jr., now on the state department's policy planning staff. The senate foreign relations committee dropped the Hurley charges after a short investiga tion. The new foreign relations subcommittee under Chairman Millard E. Tydings of Maryland may do nothing more with the McCarthy charges this time. But these things hang on like the plague and it will probably be nec essary to reinvestigate them ev ery few years till all the princi pals are dead. . Senator McCarthy having brought in a lot of old dirty lin en, it might be just as, well to turn the Tydings investigation in fo a Chinese policy laundry. Run jit through the mangle and the wringer again, then hang it on the line for everyone to see. That is the only way a lot of suspi cious neighbors are going to be convinced. The Tydings committee's inves tigation into China policy will get off to a good start when it hears Ambassador-at-large Philip C. Jes sup. He flew back to Washington, instead of taking a slow boat from China, in order to answer the charges of communist front af filiations which Senator McCar thy had thrown at him. In justice to Ambassador Vin cent and John P. Davies, 'Jr., they should be given a chance to ap pear in public hearing, too. Serv ice has been ordered to return from India to appear personally before a department loyalty board. Then cither find them guilty of some specific charge, or clear them once and for all and let them alone. Ambassador Vincent is Senator McCarthy's case No. 2 in his first list of 80 security risks. Vincent, 50, is now U. S. ambassador to Switzerland. He served In China from 1928 to 1935 and in 1941 and '42. In 1943 he was made chief of the far eastern division, serv ing there till1 sent to Switzerland a year or so ago. Vincent has for years been criticized as the man who gave U. S. China policy a slant toward the communists. In describing his case No. 2, McCarthy said: ". . . this individ ual contacts a Russian espionage agent, and that agent is followed to the Russian embassy, where the material is handed over." John S. Service, 41, was recent ly ordered to India as U. S. con sul at Calcutta. He was born in China of missionary parents. He served in various posts in the Orient from 1933 to 1945. On the senate floor Senator McCarthy said, "It will be recalled that the r HI picked up Service for having delivered secret slate department documents to Amerasia." In testimony before theTvdings subcommittee, Senator McCarthy amplified on the Amerasia maga zine spy case ol l!Hb. Service has been investigated and cleared of complicity in this case five times, including one federal grand jury and an investigation by a house judiciary subcommittee. The state department- says that the civil service commission recommended that Service appear personally be before Slate's own loyally board.

More Horsemeat Found at Denver Denver, March 25 Ui The U.S. food and drug administration re vealed today that a shipment of "beef trimmings seized in Den ver had been identified in tests as horses meat. Regional director Wendell Vin cent of the food and drug admin istration said the meat, taken March 9 from a wholesale meat company by inspectors from his office, was positively established to be horse meat by the bureau's laboratories In Washington. ine owner ol the companv claimed the meat was part of an B,4uo-pound shipment sold to him as "beef trimmings" by an Oma ha packer. He was fined $150 in Denver municipal court on a charge of selling uninspected and unmarked meat. Vincent said administration in spectors recovered some 6,000 pounds of the shipment from res taurants and meat dealers In the metropolitan area. lie said his agents were seek ing information which would lead to the filing of charges against the Omaha packer that he trans ported adulterated and rnisbrand- ed meat in interstate commerce.

Farm income declined eight per cent to $3,600,000,000 in Califor nia, Washington, Oregon, Utah, Idaho, Nevada, and Arizona. The drop 'was largest in Neva da," with Arizona the only state of the group to show dn increase in farm cash receipts. Employment declined slightly In the field of agriculture and about two per cent in the non agriculture field. The latter drop was attributed principally to a reduced level of industrial produc. tion, a declining number of work ers employed in the retail trade, and less construction activity, The San Francisco federal re serve bank survey for the year 194!) reported production increas es in five important western in dustries, iney were aircraft, au tomobiles, can and fiber contain ers and aluminum. Zinc mining increased hlightly, and lumber and plywood produc tion held almost at 1948 levels. Declines in 9 Fields Declines were reported in nine important fields. They were in iron and steel, machinery, electri cal equipment, paper, crude oil. apparel, motion picture and base and precious metal industries. Department store sales fell off six per cent during 1949 with Tacoma, Wash., and Sacrartiento, Calif., the only cities to show an increase over 1949. For the first time since the war, the dollar value of construc tion fell off during the first pine months of the year but rose sharp ly in the final three months. In the aircraft construction in dustry, employment doubled in Washington and rose about nine per cent in California, hitting its penk during the summer months. The oil industry reported a new high in wildcatting for wells, but faced a weakening price situation with declining profits and an over'all reduction in production. Demand for fuel oil fell off most sharply, the federal reserve sur vey showed. Repair and reconversion work in coastal shipyards hit a new tow during 1949, with employ ment being cut "bout one-half. Canncrs Hard Hit Canners, particularly fruit packers, were relatively hard hit and were faced with mounting in ventories and falling prices dur ing 1949. On the farm front, western growers and livestock raisers bat- stages these programs, or offers talent in writing them for the various dubs, as a means of rais ing funds to support their adopt ed child, Jacqueline de Mueiles, and in producing their year book, "And the Bud Blossoms."

Excessive cold caused severe livestock losses In some inter, mountain areas and killing frosts drastically reduced citrus produc tion in California and Arizona. Beef, veal and pork production increased, while sheep and lamb slaughter decreased somewhat. However, in Utah, lamb and mut ton output rose 38 per cent. Chicken and egg production In creased, as did turkeys. The fed eral reserve bank said the seven states produced 25 per cent of the nation's turkeys. The greatest reduction In cash farm Income occurred In livestock and livestock products, which dropped 14 per cent. In contrast, crop cash Income declined only four per cent. Reflecting the trend of gross farm income, land prices dropped thrdughout the agriculture dis tricts of these states with the sharpest declines occurring In the three coastal states. Out on the Farm By Ha S. Grant March 25 There are more re wards than the proverbial worrh for early risers. For instance, the breath-taking mountain view this morning. The scene in'the picture window was a study in mauve. The mountains and the foothills were bathed in pinkish-lavender light, and the snow-covered peaks looked transparent, as though pale fire smoldered inside. As the sun rose higher in the east, the mountains blanched to dazzling white, shimmering like the light fall of crystallized snow that cov ered the ground. You can't took at such a scene without feeling a sort of exalta tion, and you're apt to remember the words, "I shall lift up mine eyes unto the hills, from whence Cometh my strength." In the early morning, when troubles vanish like snowflakes in the sunlight, it's a good time to count your blessings. On Cali co farm, we're gratclul that Jiggs is home again.
