LETS DANCE
It's surprising how much time we
kill here at school during noon hour.
Wouldn't you like to dance? How
'bout it? They say you can learn
anything as long as your stomach is
full.
Lots of boys would really be grand
dancers if they only had a little of
this stuff we call confidence. With
a good music machine and plenty
of records we should be able to do
something about it
Learning to dance would give us
a much better attendance at our
dances and also afford more and
better entertainment to you stu
dents. Don't you like the idea? We would
like your opinion. Write your let
ters or comments and give them to
the editor. Let's join in the spirit
of things. Let's dance.
Program Postponed v
Since school was closed due to the
influenza epidemic, the high school
assembly that was scheduled for this
Friday will be postponed until Jan

Fergie's Highlights
A lot of you are wondering if the
operetta, which was presented last
Friday, was a success financially
and otherwise. The operetta was a
success as far as the play itself was
concerned, but the money taken in
wasn't the amount it could have
been.
This operetta cleared about $35,

Salem. Reorganization of the
State Industrial Accident commis
sion with the administrative power
concentrated in a manager will be
recommended to the forthcoming
legislative session. The proposed re
organization is recommended in a
report just filed with Governor
Sprague by the interim committee
for the study of the workmen's com
pensation law headed by Dean Vic
tor P. Morris of the University of
Oregon. The committee's report also
recommends that the present three
which isn't what we can call good.
It surpassed last year's operetta,
however. Last year's operetta clear
ed $3.50. Both operettas were-very
good but the money or financial side
of the thing wasn't anything to brag
about. All of those people who were
fortunate enough to be at this op
eretta reported that it was the best
operetta that has been presented
here for several years.
Miss McElhinny, our home ec in
structor, went to San Francisco to
attend the national vocational edu
cation conference. She will not re
turn until after the Christmas vaca
tion.
Monday, our band director, Mr,
Buhman, was absent from school
This meant that the band has one
less practice period. Let's practice
every day and show him how much
he means to us so that we will
sound in the best of condition for
the concert. He has done a lot for
us. so let's do something for him.

Notice in the above iWuet ration the entirely different
construction of the two envelope flaps. Figure 1 shows
the old style flap. Figure 2 shows the "Mail-Weil" flap
which has been designed to protect the contents of the
envelope. The outstanding advantages of this special
high shoulder flap are:
It allows adequate room for kea-vy gumming at
the corners, the envelope's weakest point,
where added protection is most needed.
It assures safe delivery of tke contents even
when stuffed to capacity.

You can best judge the merits wfeen you have a Mail

man commission be retained as a
board of appeals with its functions
limited to policy making and super
vision. "It is the belief of the interim
committee that by means of this
fundamental change of administra
tion to a manager form the financial
condition of the funds will be im
proved, many financial 'leaks' stop
ped, court cases reduced in number
and safety work made a reality, not
merely a dream," the report reads.
While the committee favors an ex
clusive fund rather than the option
al plan under which Oregon is now
operating it was felt that the time
is not ripe for a change in that re
spect at this time.
Wih a credit balance of $5,631,162
in its general fund on November 30,
the financial condition of the state
of Oregon is very sound, accoiding
to State Treasurer Walter E. Pear
son. Pearson compared this show
ing on the part of Oregon with the
situation in Washington which with
only $2,312,000 in its general fund
on the same date had $7,834,000 in
general fund warrants outstanding
and with the situation in California
which on June 10, last had a gener
al fund warrant debt of more than
$85,000. The bonded debt of the
state which on January 1, 1928, to
talled more than $66,000 is now re
duced to $35,141,285, Pearson re
ported. Construction of a new laboratory
building to house all of its testing
apparatus will be started by the
state highway department immedi
ately, it was announced by R. H.
Baldock, state highway engineer.
The structure 112 x 120 feet in size
of steel and concrete construction
is to cost approximately $95,000 and
will be financed out of highway
funds. It wil be located at the east
end of State street and will form a
part of the group of highway de
partment buildings already at that
location.
Oregon has a total of 7160 full
time employees, according to a re
port compiled by State Budget Di
rector David Eccles. Highest paid of
these is Chancellor Frederick M.
Hunter of the state system of higher
education who receives an annual
salary of $10,000. Eleven other of
ficials receive salaries of $7500 a
year. These include the governor,
public utilities commissioner, presi
dent of , the state university, presi
dent of the state college and the
seven justices of the supreme court.
In striking contrast to this high sal
aried group are 299 state workers
who receive less than $600 a year
plus maintenance. Forty-two state
officials receive salaries ranging
from $5000 to $5999 a year; 162 are
in the $4000-$4999 bracket; 413 re
ceive between $3000 and $3999 a
year; 1096 from $2000 to $2999; 1515
from $1500 to $1999 and 2575 from
$900 to $1499.
Meeting in .the state department
at noon here Monday Oregon's five
Democratic electors cast this state's
five votes in support of Franklin D.
Roosevelt and Henry A. Wallace for
president and vice-president, re
spectively, of these United States.1
The result of the vote was imme
diately dispatched to Washington by
airmail.
With the biennial session only a
little more than three weeks away
the atmosphere around the capitol
is alreadv taking on a distinctive
legislative flavor. Members of the
House and Senate are continually
popping into the state house to con
fer with Governor Sprague, Secre
tary of State Snell, State Treasurer
Pearson and other department heads
relative to pending legislation. De
partment heads; themselves, are busy
putting the finishing touches to bills
in which they are interested in an
effort to have them in readiness
when the session convenes. Miss
Harriet Long, state librarian reports
that she is receiving numerous re
quests from legislators for docu
ments dealing with various legisla
tive problems. Members of the
House seating committee met here
this week to assign seats to mem
bers of the 1941 House.

patrons of the 12 principal tele-
state in 1939 paid a total of $73,-
799,225.26 in rentals and tolls that
year according to a report just re
leased by the public utilities com
missioner. The report does not cover
the operations of so-called class
"D" utilities or those with gross
oerating revenues under $10,000 a
year. The report of the utilities
cornmissioner shows that there were
a total of 173,008 company-owned
telephones in use in Oregon at the
end of 1939, a gain of 7690 over 1938.
State-owned automobiles and
trucks will consume approximately
2,200,000 gallons of gasoline during
1941, according to estimates by the
state purchasing department Con
tract for supplying the state with its
motor vehicle fuel next year has
been awarded to the Signal, Stand
ard and Union oil companies for the
bulk deliveries and to the Union
oil company for the service station
business.

Construction of a school building,
at the State Industrial School for
Girls, is recommended in the report
of the Osborne association, copies
of which have just been received by
the Board of Control. The school
building, the report recommends,
should contain a gymnasium, aud
itorium and chapel in addition to
adequate class room facilities. The
Osborne investigators also took ex
ception to the operation of a dairy
at the school and recommends that
the dairy herd be transferred at
once to the state penitentiary in
order to relieve the girls of this
work.
Of the $19,527784' budgeted for
expenditure from the state's general
fund during the forthcoming bien
nium $5,733,690 has been allocated
to educational purposes, according
to David Eccles, state budget direc
tor. Support of state institutions
will require a total of $3,680,153;
public welfare, $2,878,100; general
government, $1,886,274; conservation
and development of natural re
soudrces, $1,775,086; protection of
persons and property, $1,474,124;
World War Veterans State Aid com
mission, $896,787; health and sanita
tion, $131,655; miscellaneous, $116,
Registration of out-of-state cars
in Oregon during the first 11 months
of 1940 fell approximately 20,000 be
low the record of 1939 covering the
same period. Tourist travel into Or
egon during November as recorded
by the registration figures, fell 30
percent below the figures for No
vember, 1939.
