Mrs. Vol ma Buckingham, the main speaker, was unable lo at tend and Forster spoke on her be half. A speech entitled "To Heller Our Nation'' was delivered by Gor don G rover. Phillip Stephens helped wi de Ihe speech. Glass toem was given by Phil lip Stephens. Linda Smith sang "Meauliful Dreamer," l.estrr Wick, chairman of the school board awarded the diplo mas to graduates. A zipper notebook was idso given to each graduate as i g:fl from the school board. The program Hosed with a song "Aloha" and Iwnedietion was led by Rev. Ylvisaker. Mrs Blanche Ti ent . a lower grade teacher, was the aeeomiKtnisl. Refreshments wore served , by Mrs. Merle Lowe.

While they are on loca tion, they have a place to sleep on the circus ground. And when they are traveling they sleep in bunks on Ihe train. The 18 bucks is take home, minus smokes and a couple of dime beers, which, the way you look at it, is their problem." "Trouble is," Bev Kelley butt ed in, "we hire these guys at ev ery stop, and when we leave town, we look around and they have gone back to the filling station and the little woman. Roustabouts aren't to be found any more. It's easier to find elephants. And did you hear that we have the big gest herd of elephants ever ns- mbled outside Africa11;' I had heard and the conversa tion went on. The stubby little cigar-smoking Braden, who barks liko a prairie dog with a sore throat when he talks, picked up the thread from there. "These rouslies don't know how good they could have it," he said. "Of course the star entertainers get a little more sugar, but a lot of them started out putting sledge over a ter pole. The kids we get are really roustabouts. One roust and they are ready to hit back for the home barn. Of course, 18 onion skins a week ain't much, but with your keep it ain't bad." Busy Press Agents But how about the lot of the press agent? There came a chorus from both Frank and Bev. It is a little rough. They get a few weeks off during the winter monlhs at the winter quarters in Sarasota, Fla. Even then," Bev said, "we have to worry about what nev spangles and acts we have com ing up for Ihe next year. We are supposed to keep the greatest ;how on earth the greatest." Bev admitted, with proper mod esty, that the Ringlings have the beslest of the most. "But," he added, "we have to keep on trying U " improve. It's something like doing a fast r-1 write on 'War And Peace' or Shakespeare, even. Ever try that? Also, did you ever try making 170 towns a year, sleeping in flea traps, riding buses, worrying about whether you have a clean shirt, and washing your own, sometimes?" No, I never did. I'm not afraid of flea bags or buses, but that guy Shakespeare stops me. By H. D. WIG I'nltcd PresK Staff Correspondent NEW YORK iih I tangled Thurs day crossed words, as it were with the spelling champ of the nation. It was a defeat not en tirely without honor. She had an unfair advantadge I mean, ad vantege. Brains. ' I The champ is Miss Sandra Sloss. She is li years old, and she goes to St. Joseph's School in Granite City, III., and she came here with her parents, Mr. and Mrs. William Sloss, and her sister Nancy, 12. and her brother Tommy, 6 and they call her Sandy, and last Fri day he told President Eisenhower how to spell 'syygy' (pronounced sizy-gee), and she has practiced spelling one hour every day for the last two years, not counting Sundays and Christmas holidays, and there you are. Sandy won the national finals in Washington a week ago, spe'l ing down 61 other elementary school wizards. Naturally, when she came here, there was one clear call for me (from the boss) to uphold the honor of reporters of the old school against the elemen tary schools. fieore our bout, Sandy, a quiet miss with blue eyes, sandy hair, and a few freckles, was asked her opinion of -President Eisenhower. Reply: He doesn t act serious. Didn't make you feel strange. He's, nice." The Duel The duel was held in the Hotel New Yorker, where the Sloss fam ily was staying. Sandy had just Agency Planning Meeting in Bend In Bend Thursday from his home in Pendleton, P. T. Rowel 1, secre tary of the Upper Columbia River Basin commission, said arrange ments are 'being made for a meet ing of the group here on June 24. It is planned to have the meeting in connection with a Bend Cham ber of Commerce forum luncheon. The commission will pass out of existence at the end of the year, but its members plan to gather area information for the new Ore gon water resources board, "which will take over some of the work formerly handled by the commis sion.

For-the match, she wore a yellow sleeve less blouse, a corsage, and a cot ton print skirt with old-fashioned locomotives and chair cai-s run ning around the bottom The pronouncer and judge was another newspaper man. Possibly he was prejudiced. He announced the ground rules for the bee would include a handicap favoring the reporter: "If you should miss a word, I'll give you another." Then he took dictionary to hand and let fly. He gave me a word meaning "a bloom or blossom." I spelled flow er. Easy. He gave Sandy "the 'ast book of the New Testament." She batted out "Apocalypse" with out a stutter. "I object," I said. "That's not the way I spell it. It should be a capital 'A "Overruled," said the judge. "I have the dictionary." I breezed through "difficult" uid "misspell." Sandy did the same with "obeisance" and "pro pitiation." When the judge stam mered in pronouncing obeisance, Sandy asked him if it meant "a bow, curtsy genuflection. It did. Turns out she knows the definitions of everything she speils. Tough Words My next word, the judge said. means the mature lemale ol any bovine animal." It was "cow." I scored easily. So did Sandy, with "dyspepsia, She had to correct the judge's pronunciation. HeJiad called it "dips-pepsia." It turned out the judge had been merely playing with me. He did a sudden switch, stabbed me with a word meaning "papery." Using his pronunciation as a guide, I spelled "papyricious." Struck out! The correct spelling is "papyrac eous," which Sandy knew. In line with the ground rules, I got another word "ahecedarian." "What's that?" I demanded. Sandv replied: "One who is learning the alphabet; hence, a tyro." I failed again miserably. Just to clinch her victory, Sandy rambled through " etymological -ly," "verisimilitudinous," ;nd "chiaroscuro." "Is there any word you don't know how to spell?" I asked. The judge (who had watched her win the national title') recalled she once had missed the word "zeug ma." I closed my eyes, swung wildly, and spelled it right. The law of chance sometimes smiles even on reporters. "How'd you know it?" Sandy asked. V Sheer brilliance," T replied. "B-fM-Ii-I-E-N-C-E."
