IDr. Gunn Talks
:0n Education
The elementary schools should
i not be restricted to the teaching
,of the "three Rs" but should
stress citizenship, asserted Dr.
Henry E. Gunn, president of
Oregon College of Education
during an address before the
; Salem Rotary club Wednesday
" noon.
Dr. Gunn, in speaking con
cerning the problems of elemen
- tary education, stated that the
need for teachers insofar as
; quantity Is concerned would be
over within a period of two
1 years. With this the case, he
declared that institutions turrt
' ing out teachers should bear
: down on quality. "The screen
' Ing should be very severe," he
! said.
According to calculations of a
' number of institutions in educa
i tlon there will be some 1150 ele-
mentary teachers to fill the 1100
vacancies next year. These
teachers will come from a va
riety of sources teacher train
ing colleges, privately operated
colleges, cadet instructors and
those returning to the field of
education. The trend, said Dr.
Gunn was for a greater number
of former teachers to return to
the class rooms.
Inducted as new members dur
ing the luncheon were William
Williams, Eldon Armstrong,
Lawrence Roberts and Millard
Pekar.

Pretoria, South Africa, June

Jan Christian Smuts took a turn
for the worse today. Doctors
said X-rays revealed an embol
ism (clot) in the lungs of the
former South African premier
and that his heart was affected
following a poor night. Smuts,
80 years old, has been suffering
from pneumonia and other com

Tribesmen Hide 'Military Secrets'
Washington, June 21 W) The primitive Brazilian tribes
reported today to have been contacted by white men for the
first time still Jealously guard the "military secrets" of a
forgotten civilization.
Dr. Kalervo Oberg of the Smithsonian institution told today
of his visits to the Nambiguara
and Terena tribes deep in the
Amazon Jungles, and said they
are suspicious of white men and
of neighbor who have white
contacts.
Curiously, one of their major
worries is that their 'military se
crets' will be revealed," Dr.
Oberg said.
"When a stranger approaches,
their bows and arrows are hid
den."
Oberg said the two tribes have
'considerable primitive culture.
They believe man was created
out of blocks of wood, and hold
religious ceremonies regularly,
attired principally in feather
headdresses, their bodies paint
ed with "complicated red and
black semi-geometric designs."
At other times they go naked.
They live in a relatively un
explored area in dense forests
bordering the banks of rivers
which form the headwaters of
the Amazon.
This, the Smithsonian ethnol
ogist said,, has enabled them to
remain almost completely cut
off from civilization making
them "probably the world's su
preme isolationists."

Western, and Western Pacific
lines.
Glover said the strike is be
ing called to enforce demands
for 48 hours pay for a 40-hour
week.

the Association of Western Rail
ways, said he understood that
"some of the railways to be
struck" planned to close down
completely Sunday. He did not
identify these roads.
The union leader said "most of
American Industry has operated
on a 40-hour work week for
years. More than 1,000,000 rail
road workers have the 40-hour
week. Switchmen don't. It's
about time they did."
The union served Its demands
on the railroads in September,
1949. During the last 10 months,
Glover said, all provisions of the
railway labor act have been com

Fire Destroys Home,
All Family Belongings
Independence A fire recently
destroyed the Dean Meador
home in the Mistletoe district be
tween Monmouth and Dallas.
The family lost nearly all their
personal belongings and the
furniture in the dwelling was
burned. The house was rented
from Dave Linton.
Due to having no telephones
in the district, it was nearly an
hour before fire equipment ar
rived on the scene, and it was too
late to save any part of the
building. The blaze is believed
to have started by a defective
flue.
Meador, who has two small
children, is a saleman for the
Willamette Valley Lumber Com
pany, spending a good deal of
his time at the local lumber yard.
The new Moore barley has a
stem that remains still until the
crop is ready to harvest.
