MAY 25, 1933 ÉLINOR4 BARRY , t » mk SI.00 50c ’ If the county unit plan of school operation were adopted in this county it is estim ated that Springfield would have to pay a 10 or 12 mill levy instead of the 23.2 mills being col­ lected this year. Likely this m easure passed by the legisla­ ture as optional in the counties will be voter! upon at the July 21 special election. A movement is now under way to place it on the ballot, and the county cham ber of comm erce has asked each local cham ber, grange and fa n n e rs’ union to express them selves on the m easure. Under the pro posed plan all Lane county except Eugene school district 4, will be placed In one large school district and will be under the direction of five directors. These directors will employ a county school superintendent and a full time clerk and other assistants. The county will be zoned and a director nom inated from each zone but voted on by the whole county except Eugene. Savings are expected to In* made by closing sm aller schools and transporting pupils to larger centers, and by more efficient operation. Also the saving in salary now paid to individual district clerks is expected to be more than suf­ ficient to run the county school superintendent's office. B etter schools for less money has resulted where the county unit plan has been adopted. From an economy and educational standpoint the county unit plan lias merit. On the other hand local control of schools is released and com ­ m unity pride and dem ocratic governm ent is interferred with. But as we see it the power given the directors, serv­ ing without pay, in Jh e county unit plan is no more drastic than the nation is placing in the hands of the president be­ cause an em ergency exists. An em ergency plainly exists in Lane county schools. The way tax collections are shrinking inside of two years more than half of the schools in I^ane county will be closed and m ost of the people will owe a whale of a big tax bill. T eachers can not eat worthless warrants- nor will they buy fuel and other supplies. In Klamath, Cook and Lincoln counties where the coun­ ty unit plan has been adopted it is reported to be working satisfactorily. K lam ath’s school tax levy is tf mills. All three counties have had sufficient money to run their schools and to pay off indebtedness even with tax delinquincies running higher than in Lane county. There are some things about the county unit law we do not exactly like, but schools run under this plan are bet­ ter than no schools at all. We believe th at Springfield will be ahead by supporting the m easure. A FASHION NOTE FROM THE BIBLE We read a report in a New York paper of a convention of beauty shop jieople a few weeks ago. According to this report the m ost interesting things in the exhibits were re ­ movable lips, dem ountable eyelashes, devices to change the shape of the nose, apparatus to hold the ears back, artificial eye-sparkle and little pictures for fingernail decoration. We began to wonder how women could be so foolish as to think th at such artificialities, m ake them attractive to men. But before we had got to the point of raising an outcry against this degenerate m odern age we happened to think th a t we had read som ething of the sort before. We looked it up and found it, w ritten more than two thousand years ago by a prophet named Isaiah. The daughter of Zion are haughty, and walk with stretched forth necks and wanton eyes, walking and m inc­ ing as they go and m aking a tinkling with their feet. In th at day the Lord will take away the bravery of their tinkling ornam ents about their feet, and their cauls, and their round tires like the moon, the chains and the bracelets and the m ufflers, the bonnets and the ornam ents of the legs- and the headbands, and the tablets, and the earrings, the ring and nose jewels, the changeable suits of apparel, and the m an­ tles, and the wimples, and the crisping pins, the glasses and the fine linen, and the hoods and the veils.” Perhaps it wouldn’t be any use for us to try to talk the girls out of their finery. Apparently Isaiah’s th reats didn’t < hange feminine nature, which seem s to be about the same now as it was in Old T estam ent days. But we have an idea th at the girls of Isaiah’s time, like those of today, didn’t put on their dew-dads so much to m ake them selves in ter­ esting to m en as to m ake other women envious. That, how­ ever, is a m ere m an’s point of view. We ve always heard that alcohol and gasoline would not mix but here come the “new deal” chem ists advising the governm ent th at a certain am ount of alcohol will pep up gasoline to the benefit of the grain and fruit industry They recom m end compelling the mixing of alcohol and g as­ oline for m otor fuel. Now if the adm inistration can mix oil and w ater they will have accomplished the unattainable. I he generation th at is voting liquor in all over the county is not altogether the one th a t voted it out since those eligible to vote the iirst time now were only six years old when prohibition was adopted. This may be largely the cause of the overwhelmingly wet vote. Young people for centuries have chafed under the conventionalities of their elders. Now they are in open revolt on prohibition. The Democratic adm inistration m ust be accredited with a certain am ount of political wisdom. The people are advised th at if the 18th am endm ent is repealed it will not be necessary for congress to pass a sales tax on all the peo­ ple. Liquor will pay the bilPso the adm inistration declares and points to the m any sheckles rolling in from beer sales. J. P. Morgan- Jr. says th a t a m an who takes a 20 mil­ lion dollar loss in one year should not pay an income tax. Hut most folks believe th at ft is worth som ething to have the privilege of losing th a t much.

A high hedge sur­ rounded the garden, down one side of which grew a row of slender Italian cynressrs, slit? and dark and theatrical looking. Beyond the hedge stretched a huge orchard of fruit trees. Joyce stared down at it in amarement. She had never seen such an enormous orchard in her life, t he rows of while-blossomed trees Even before she opened her eyes, Joyce was aware of being <|i a strange place. For the moment, how­ ever, she was still text drowsy to make anv effort to move. A dull ache ¡throbbed in her bead. Her whole body felt heavy, weighed down by an insistent lassitude. I '1 hen other sensations asserted ¡themselves. Her Hngrrs, moving languidly, sent to her drowsy brain the message of some sort of cool silken material under their sensitive tips. She kept her eyes shut while she tried to think things out. She remem­ bered perfectly now. . . . She was in a taxi going to the Hotel Blackstone in Chicago. It was sleeting, and in the traffic another machine skidded suddenly and crashed into them. And then they had brought her— where? I t didn't smell in the least like a hospital. And the bed was softer than any cot she had ever felt. Suddendly she was afraid to open her eyes. Completely awake now. she lay tingling with curiosity, filled at the same time with a foreboding of some strange, frightening revela­ tion to come. Where could she be? A t last she could stand the uncer­ tainty no longer. W ithout moving ahe opened her eyes and stared straight ahead of her. H er first look showed a cluster of large oranges hanging like golden balls in the sun­ shine against a background of cloud­ less blue sky. Oranges!
