An Independent Newspaper The Bend Bulletin, Thursday, June 21, 1956 What Do Schools Cost? How much do local taxpayers ray for the opcrntion of srhool. in Bend's school district? There are two ways of looking at it. First is the cost per pupil. For each student attend ing the Bend high school, somebody must punglo up 5J73.99 per year. Not all of this, of course, comes from local taxpayers. Over 40 per cent of the cost of the Bend district comes from state, county and other sources. (In the last year for which comparative figures are available, the Bend district stood 3Gth out of 42 similar districts in Oregon. In other words, high school costs per pupil were higher than Bend's in 35 out of the 42 districts.) For each student attending grade school, the cost per year js S355.06. Junior high figures are not available, since the current fiscal year has not ended, but the cost probably will bo somewhere between the grade and high school figures. (Last years costs per pupil had declined here, al though most districts in the state had found their costs going up. It is reasonable to assume, then, that the costs here ranked even more favorably than in the past. And that was pretty good.) So much for costs per pupil per year. How much was the total? To run the entire school system, including grade. junior high and high schools, Central Oregon College, and to provide such activities as athletics, physical education, music, shops, homemaking courses, art, special education and bus transportation, the school board and budget boardjj have come up with a figure for the next fiscal year. - . That figure is $1,150,196.23. Because of increased assessed valuation, this would require an increase of approximately three per cent in taxes on Bend property. The residents of the school district; with only a small percentage of eligible voters casting votes, turned down the original budget proposed. I ' Those sarrs? voters, as well as thoso eligible who did not vote fri the last election, will go to the polls again Monday, Jun25. It is hoped the turnout will be larger this time.

NEA Servitt, trie Iowa Students Again Establish Forestry Camp Iowa State College forestry stu dents for the second consecutive year have established their Bum mer camp in the Deschutes Na tional forest, on Jack creek ot ti Melolius river area. This camp Is about two miles east of Camp Sherman. There are 47 students in camp this season. The summer session will last until August 20, with several one-week trips out of Uie base camp planned. One of the trips will take the students and their instructors to the Tillamook bum in western Oregon. Industries will be studied en route. On a second trip, the students wilt trn inin snnllirn Orppnll to view Bureau of Land ManaKement forest properties in the Medford area, tn route home, the group will come past Crater lake.

Ed son in .Washington Long-Range Plans Preferred Mr. "Think" Dies , Mr. "Think," Thomas J. Watson, chairman of the board of Internaiional Business Machines, died in a New York hospital recently. Watson was known as the ?G0 a month bookkeeper who became a multi-millionaire. He built IBM from a struggling little company to a world-wide organization. Cut ho probably will be better remembered by many as the man who put the big "Think" signs up around IBM offices and plants, and who distributed them to IBM customers. , ' Sidoshov Approaching A Senate committee voted out a bill to authorize con slrxction of a high federal dam at the Hells Canyon site where Idaho IVOver Company now is constructing two smaller dams, with a third on the drawing boards A House committee was unable to report the bill out, since Republican mepibers boycofced the meeting, and held the bill in committee with a parliamentary maneuver. There are a couple of things to remember in discuss ing the Hells Canyon question. First, tlyg bills in the Sen nte and I louse ore no test of the Eisenhower "partner ship" proposals. There is no "partnership" in the Hells Canyon situation. D is strictly a struggle betwPeri public 0"d private power adnexitis. Second. We authorization bills in question do not pso-'- vkio any planning or construction funds. They merely signify the inti,t of Congress to have the federul govern ment, rather than Idaho rower, build the structures. Such authorization bills have heen up befotQ Con gressional committees periodically smce 1947, back in thy early days of Truman's first term. Kone'rias ever cleared a committee before this time. The Hells Canyon bloc in thg, Scnnffi Mrse, Neu Urger, Magnuson, Murray, Kefauver, Douglas will now have an opportunity to debate the bill on the floor. The bill never has been formally debated before tho full Senate, although the Congressional Uecord has been full of introduced speeches on the subject made by members of the bloc.

S. International Cooperation Administration on the ilelmnnd Valley Authority project in Afghanistan 'has returned to Washington for reassignment after; 21 months in this remote, rallrond- lcss, mountain .and desert king dom. '. -.! The story Stoaks brings back Is as good an example as any of how the .United States is trying to help underdeveloped countries. And it throws light on the difference be tween Russlan.and American nielli ods in trying to win over neutrals, Young Sloans was in Afghanis tan when Khrushchev and Bulgan- in slopped off there on their way homo from India. Tile Russian gumshoes' pitch to sweeten up their prospect was, tirst to give King Mohammed Za hir Shah a personal airplane, se cond lo give the capital of Kabul a 100-bed hospital. Then the Hus sinns olfei-ed Afghanistan a two per cent 100-million dollar loan, tri do with as they pleased. The Russian-proposed projects were all shorl-runge and flashy. They paved the Kubul streets for the first time In their ancient his tory. They worked nut barter deals of Afghan wheat for Russian man iHctmvs. When the Afghan-Pakistan bord er was closed in the row ejer Pus- toonistan, it shut off gasojinC. im ports. The Commies moved in to tako ovsr the trade, t rucking In supplies over mountain roads while building a pipeline. They, built a small tank farm outside Kabul. It was aluminum painted and" flood lit at night. The native's go oul just to sec the bright lights. - , In spite of all this, showman ship, when the Afghan government came to buv a fleet of tank trucks. they 'didn't get Russian vehicles. They chose. 500 Americnn-mide trucks. AH. the short-range Russian pro jects are in marked contrast to long-range plans which the Af ghans are tryins to work out In cooperation with American 'inter ests. ' ' ' , -i In IMG Afghanistan made Q. con tract with Morrison-Knudsen to plan and build roads and dams. They Spent the equivalent of 20 million dollars of their own to start work. In ji949 and 1954 two U. S. Export-Import Bank loans for about $10 million more were obtained. A Helmand Valley Authority HVA was modeled after the U. S. TVA. Then in 1952 U, S. International Coomr.iiive Administration was Hsked to come in and help : on land selUement, education and training of technicians. ICA has a three million dollar budget for the country this year, JGOO.000 going Into HVA. The idea is to take the more than I turning a faucet a million nonind tribesmen from the disputed Pakistan border area and resettle them on 15 acre tracts where they, can' make a living. . Over- 21,000 have already been settled on the first project, but it was a bad start. It was a desert oasis chosen by the Afghans against the advice of Mornson-Knudscn. The land salted up under forced irrigation and ' ft o w has to be drained. Olhcr relocation areas soon to be opened- will be along the llelinahd river,"' where condi tions are much like-Arizona's rich Salt River, project. ' Along with this, ' ICA technical advisers arc ?ross-hreeding scrub by, native mountain cattle with Brown : Swiss, -. pnd the Afghan mountain sheep with American Columbia stock.

The plan is (o open- 40- new schools a year for the 12 million population, 95. per cent illiterate in a country rough ly the size of Texas. . English Is now compulsory se cond language in all schools which annoys the Russians no end. But the smart Afghans found all he good textbooks were in En glish. , Afghanistan's only modern city, Lashkar Gah, has been built brand new from the ground up m the Helmand Valley.
