But she fell only nine feet to a yard-wide girder, 211 feet above the dark waters of San Francisco bay. Police say Mrs. Esther M. Griffin of Los Altos was saved from death by three passers-by, two Greyhound bus drivers and Army Capt. Clay Bernard. They saw her halt her south bound car and run to the rail. Bernard said that as he and the drivers Walters Jones and Wil liam Dandy struggled with her, she lunged over the railing. As she landed on the girder, Mrs. Griffin was knocked un conscious, and was prevented from falling off by Capt Bernard and the drivers. She was pulled to safety on a rope lowered from a highway patrol truck. In her auto, police said they found a note addressed "To whom it may concern," saying: I have a feeling something is going to happen to me ... " The note sold whatever hap pened would be the fault of a San Francisco utility employe.

New York, Dec. 21 UP) A frail Latvian widow plucTted with nervous fingers at her worn plaid coat, then said "I'm so happy, I laugh a little and then I cry a little." Bewildered and excited by all the fuss, Mrs. Zinaida Supe and her four young children were (greeted by a welcoming com mittee of state and federal dig nitaries as they stepped ashore Wednesday from the navy trans port Gen. S. D. Sturgis. The 37-year-old mother was the 200,000th displaced person to be brought to this country un der the 1948 D.P. act. And she was greeted accord ingly. Camera flashbulbs popped and so did the eyes of the Supe children, Edmund, 11, Richard, 10, Irene, and Marguenta, 7. The careworn woman spoke nervously into a battery of mi crophones: It is not easy to describe my feelings on arriving here today. My children can look forward to a life of liberty and happiness. For the rest of our lives we will be grateful for all you have done for us." The Supes will leave by plane tomorrow for Colorado Springs, Colo. The Catholic Daughters of America found a job for her there as a waitress. Putnam Puts Kind of Schools for Oregon Up to People of State Education in Oregon is faced with some very serious problems, Rex Putnam, Oregon State Superintendent of Education, told members of the East Salem Lions club Tuesday noon at the Senator hotel. These problems Include not only the kind of education to be provided our children, but also- the quantity which our growing Lodge Elects Officers Albany Election of officers highlighted the meeting of the Royal Neighbors of America when the lodge met Tuesday evening at the Knights of Pyth ias hall. Mrs. Lillian Brown was elected oracle. Other officers chosen are: Mrs. Charles Leland, past oracle; Mrs. Walter Erby, vice oracle; Mrs. Gertrude Dowl- ing, recorder; Mrs. Joe Neely, receiver; Mrs. Golda Vehrs, chancellor; Mrs. Leonard Crisp in, marshal; Mrs. Roy Adamson inner sentinel; Mrs. Guy Adam son, outer sentinel, and Mrs John Carrick, manager. population makes necessary. From 1940 to 1947 the school census increased aDOut vj.ouu, 52,713 of whom were outside of Portland. "This number amounts to the same as if we added 11 new school districts the size of our largest 11 districts outside of Portland. The result is that current expenses to run our schools have increased from about twenty million to over sixty million dollars in this period. Part of this increase is due to a substantially higher birth rate, Mr. Putnam went on. In 1933 there were 12.3 children born per 10 0 0 population. In 1949, there were just about twice this number 23.8 children per 1000 population. Births tripled in number from 12,000 in 1933 to 36,000 in 1947. Another source of t h 1 s in crease is immigration of people to Oregon. We're all proud of the growth of our state, but we have to face the implications in volved in having many young parents and potential parents coming to Oregon at the rate of 81,000 people in the fiscal year 1947-1948, including about 13,500 school children. These 13,500 children added about ten million dollars to our school costs and that has been hap pening every year since the war. "Before ten years will have gone by, we will have spent $170,600,000 for buildings alone, on a very, very conservative es timate, to keep the children out of the rain during their school hours. Our resources even now are stretched to the bursting point many children are only getting a half an education be cause of the shortage of school room space, for only half of them can be accommodated at a time, and the schools are run for two half-day shifts. We are not proud of that quality and quantity of education, but it is the best we can do right now, Passage of the increase in the basic school allowance is help ing some, but it has not solved the basic problem, said Mr. Put nam. "There is no way out. Either we are going to provide an edu cation for our children as we have become used to it, and as we are and can be proud of, or we will have to reconcile our selves to having our children grow up without this service. The people of the state are not going to stand for that, and they snouia not, lor it is a basic es sential 10 me existence of. a healthy, vigorous democracy, and a birthright which Is due the children. "But some people say that our economy just can't stand the strain of all this spending. Can it, or can t it? "We are now spending more money every year for alcoholic liquors than for public educa tion. Oregon is apparently able economically to support llauor to me extent oi 4.4 cents out of every dollar of its income, while it spends only 2.5 cents out of every dollar for public educa- tlon, according to figures for 1946-1947. "It Is a question of evaluating the various needs and wants of the people of the state. When we think we can afford to spend as much money for education as we seem to think we can afford to spend for alcoholic liquor, and other things, we will be able to have an education for every child in Oregon that he needs and can have if we want him to have it." UN Employe Has Short Visit at Independence independence Anna W. Fairweather, daughter of Sena tor Dean Walker, was a visitor here last week, arriving by plane last Monday from Wash ington, D.
