"The simile is not too far fetched. "After all, when you go Into a football game, you try to plan it all out ahead of time. You may have to switch your plans along the way, especially if the opposition comes up with a defense you hadn't counted on. "I think it will be the same woy with a picture. You have to plan it all out in advaice. But then something might happen in the playing that you didn't foresee. So you have to change your plan to fit the situation, "In both mediums, you save something for the fourth quarter. When 1 was with the Rams, that's when we'd use Tom Fears or Elroy llirsch." When Jane Russell ended her 1.1-year association with Howard Hughes, she and United Artists, which will put up the money and release the pictures. The contract calls for six pictures in the next three years "Jane will be in three of them Bob explained. "We hope to get started on one of the pictures with out her. It may be 'The Detective,' a slory by Philip Jordan." SYSTEM :'l!r ft record shows the American peo ple can wisely and safely entrust the electric power business to private enterprise. In a speech prepared for de livery to the annual EEI conven tion, Sammis assailed what h e called the "unfairness and the in equities of government power com petition" with private utilities. - "Propaganda has been for vears disseminated skillfully, often by government officials, creating the fear of impending power short age," he said, "or creating the fear that the job of supplying the nation's power requirements is too big for private industry.-. ." But tne real facts show, he said. that private enterprise can "pro vide this country with an ample supply of power for all needs at reasonable rates as determined by regulatory" authorities." In his talk to the 3,000 utility executives at the EEI convention, bammis said the government was turning out only 3-10ths of 1 Der cent of the nation's power 20 years ago. Today the total is 11 per cent. Meanwhile, private utilities have boosted their investment in elec tric facilities "from a little over 12.S bllion dollars in 1945 to about 26.5 billion today."

Salem, Oregon Grant School, Built in 1890, Being Replaced By BEN Excavation for new Grant school, designed as a one story structure costing $277,300 to replace an old structure built in 1890, is now un der way on the site. Dismantling of the 64 year old schoolhouse will begin shortly after the present school term is ended. 1 Capital Journal weekly for Jan uary 1, 1891, mentions that a rapid increase in population in that lo cality made replacement of an old and small schoolhouse there an i immediate necessity. Just when this first schoolhouse was built is not stated but District 24, in 1866, authorized building a school in North Salem and this may have been that early structure. Plans for new North Salem schoolhouse of 1890 called for an unpretentious structure two stories in height and .containing eight rooms. Basic cost was to be $10,500 but furniture, furnaces, cost of plans and supervision raised the price for the district to $13,278.59. Seating capacity was given as am ple for 200 pupils. In 1891 the faculty at North school consisted of Prof. J. A. Sellwood, principal; A. W. Long, Mrs. M. V. Rork and Mrs. Mattie Meyer. Pupils registered numbered 194. New Grant school (the name was changed from North to Grant many years ago) will house 360 pupils and require a teaching staff of 10 teachers when operating to capacity. The building will be a concrete structure. Grant school is the oldest opera tive school in Salem's system. But it is not the oldest schoolhouse yet in existence. That distincton may go to the structure on South Com mercial street that houses the Bar kus feed mill. In 1866 the Salem F.D.A.K IS America Srallii (TFT A" 375 Center Street MAXWELL district authorized construction of North and South Salem school houses Barkus' building was South Salem school 88 years ago. For 25 years South school stood on the east side of Fir street One lot south of the intersection with Myers. Old North school, it may be presumed, resembled this structure.
