This topic rates a high priority in conversation. Nothing is more basic, of course, than weather. And its influence is deeply felt. Preoccupation as to a severe winter or not, for instance, bespeaks a concern over requirements that can do well with fore sight. If there is a protracted cold spell like of last year, fuel distributors will be faced with a nip-and-tuck against shortages as well as delivery schedules. Patrons whose fuel supplies are not replenished before they are gone are not too easily dealt with. Then there’s the matter of clothes for self and family. Youngsters really need different garments for the usual rainy season than for days of snow and sinking thermometer will really l>e rough! In the matter of roads, too, there’s reason enough for some sincere crystal-gazing. If there’s a repeat of last year, road damage will really be rouogh! We can take comfort in one conjecture, however. “ If Winter comes, can Spring be far behind?” BUSINESS Penn, Up to $5,000.00 2Va% Current Dividend MEMBER FEDERAL HOME LOAN BANK Washington Federal Savings and Loan Association HILLSBORO, OREGON 'HAVE A YEAR'S INCOME IN A SAVINGS ACCOUNT' Accounts Insured to $5,000 Peyg, J -Mortuary, W.

Enrollment figures for the first grade in county schools are accepted as definite indi cations of population growth. This year the steady increase of the last eight years, for instance, is suggested by present enroll ments. In the eighth grade of county schools, for instance, there are 817 students. On down to the first grade, the numbers show: 7th grade, 831; 6th grade, 873; 5th grade, 880; 4th grade, 886; 3rd grade, 892; 2nd grade, 1018 and first grade, 1148. In these figures are charted the future demands of county school districts. Accord ing to figures of last year, the oncoming first grade class is expected to top this year’s figure to a marked degree and the same trend may hold for future years as well. What this means to school district tax payers can be easily recognized. The pres sure Of more beginning students generates the immovable demand for more facilities. School districts that are hard pressed to care for their present enrollments need no crystal ball gaze to see the need of continu ing building programs. An alternative to providing proper facil ities for the swelling hordes of students might be the lessening of school hours, as was practiced to a wide extent during the recant war period. This plan of shortening classroom time and releasing the students after half a day tends to lessen the amount of instruction and might have serious con sequences if followed too long. Against the possible resort to such an answer, the state of Oregon sets up rather rigid minimum standards of academic cours es and physical school facilities that must lie adhered to to prevent the loss of state money. While this does not guarantee stand ardization of state schools, the amount of money disbursed under the basic school sup port program is significant enough to en courage school districts to improve the qual ity of their educational offerings The principle that is well recognized by the state, of course, is the irreplaceable im portance of a properly lialanced school pro gram. The value of sound education for the future is inestimable. And the promise of financial assistance to county school dis tricts acts as a dependable spur. The annual school census is complete in its manner. Month, day and year of birth is registered as well as any information of physical handicaps. By this means, antici pated needs for future years can be faced and plans may be begun to meet them.
