But the story It told in unassuming modesty seemed a challenge and an answer. The booklet concerned Van port Extension Center, now located in buildings which served the recent war effort as the Oregon Shipbuild ing Corporation Administration building. Here, In vigorous reality, Is one of Oregon's answers to a post-war need which seems to promise a long range benefit for the future of Its citizenship. Here, veterans and non-veterans are offered an outlet for the educational urge, In an Institution that la as highly accredited as any college within the state system. At the end of the war. colleges throughout the nation were beset by an unprecedented rush of prospective students. Those who had interrupted their schooling to carry on a much more important Job, of winning a war, were ready to resume the studies. Veterans, under a "G. I. Bill” were encouraged to Improve their educational means of coping with life. And the usual promotion of young people from high school to the college bracket combined with these forces to create a problem upon whose solution depended an Influence for the future. Vanport derives Its name from its original location, In the flood- devastated federal housing project at Vanport City. One of the total victims of rampaging Columbia River flood waters, Vanport’s fate hung In the balance, from May 30 to June 8 of this year. On the latter date, the state board of higher education authorized continuance of the Center for one academic year. Summer classes were held In the U. 8 . Grant high school, Portland, and preparations were made to convert unused war-surplus quarters for classrooms, laboratories and offices necessary to continue Vanport’s educational mission. Final registration for the college year closed October 9 and the serious work of study has got underway .With Its present facilities, Vanport offers about 42 different subjects and a much longer list of courses dealing with the various subjects. Included in the present setup are student services designed to pro vide students with counsel and school supplies. An Intercollegiate athletic program offers a traditional outlet. Other extracurricular activities, carried on with a minimum of faculty direction, offer prac tical experience In Journallem, dramatice, public speaking and a num ber of Interests to supplement the academic course. Quietly, and without pretense, Vanport Issues Its catalog, 19-48-49. Its story Is given without fanfare. But the very bulletin Itself some how gives us a thrill. In Its perusing. It Impresses us as an Important milestone, ■ valiant effort against a hard, unrelenting need. The story o f serious obstacle, and Its con quest, Is there. The spirit of the sr^hool directors, as well as the enthusiasm of the student body, points to the determination which will undoubtedly characterise Vanport's efforts to continue. In the progress that the school has made to meet and help solve an educational crisis, Van- port seems a symbol of America. Pendulum Swings Far The public is long suffering and whether from sheer Inertia or a sense of tolerance, will allow an unhealthy condition to go on for some time before rising, In anger, and a<*tlng Against It. 8 o seems to be the agreement felt by many In the current campaign throughout Oregon against the most atrocious of comic books. There Is a movement afoot, to carry the voluntary censorship even further by making another law to provide for the censorship of books and magazines The approach to the proposition seems to be an Inspired one. . . for such a place as Nazi Germany of 1939. But In the United Btgtes, where the BUI of Right guarantees freedom of speech and press, It Is suspect. Few who lake note of the fantastic flights of fancy that character ise some of the comic book thrillers will say that they add anything to the emotional stability of their avid, young followers. Yet, few who are always vigilant against any act which will subvert fundamental principles and baalc constitutional rights, can allow an Idea of cen sorship to proceed without challenge. The plan of a State Senator to seek enactment of a law to restrict the right of free speech und free press under the guise of banning comic hooks Is a dangerous weapon which might he used by some to penalise critics and stifle the expression of everyone who would disagree with acts of political servants. The voluntary campaign by Individual drug stores and comic ven dors ns being conducted In the Beaverton area by four firms who refuse to sell the too fantastic hooks, seems a proper answer. No merchant would want to sell tainted meat or rotten eggs and to avoid that necessity, he usually Inspects his purchases. Comic booksellers should exercise the same restraint. When the pendulum of public opinion swings from one extreme to another, a danger Is apparent. For, the pendulum swings far. If not kept under control. i.o m s n u n ttif» O u r (.tjn ir s n in ir a r ie * nine) ALSO FIG H TIN G parking meters Also billed for an evening of al^ne' not c<>u»tln » total of $L- fighting, October 19, wlU be Jack treasury from A .

K. DON’T PUT UP THIS SIGN! J Post Office Identity The Importance of address Is In terms of location. To clarify loca tion. the United States Postal Service designates postoffices through out the nation by which geography Is made a living part of the na tional life. A community, however small, remains an Individual com munity for as long as the postal department maintains Its office In this area, adjacent to a large post office at Portland, there have been numerous occasions of recent note where Individual communities have lost their identities by the fact that they hnve been gobbled up by the Portland office In these lomlitles, post offices have been done away with and branch offices of Portland have tw>en Installed As a result, the communities In a large sense cease to exist. This has happened at Olencullen, Hillsdale. Multnomah and West Slope. Compare these communities with Metxger. Tigard, Tualatin, Sher wood. Beaverton, Huber, Aloha and Reedvllle. In the latter group, the communities are definitely Indentlfled. through the listings that are available anywhere In the United States. Every citizen should be ever vigilant for any attempt to reduce the status of a post office to a branch post office For In losing a post office, a community loses Its Identity In CUE B A U • Continued from page controlled by the state.
