o Two Draftees
By A. L. LINDBECK
Salem. Fifty-two new high
school buildings have been construc
ted in Oregon during the past five
years, according to a survey just
completed by Rex Putnam, state su
perintendent of public instruction.
Twenty-seven new gymnasiums and
33 other buildings in connection with
high, school plants have been con
structed during the five year per
iod, Putnam points out.
In' spite of this expensive im
provement program Putnam declares
that 50 percent of the high schools
of the state are still inadequate in
some respects to meet the needs of
a modern high school program.
While this building program was
being carried out, adding $7,851,792
to the valuation of high school buil
dings, school districts of the state
were paying off bonds and reducing
their debt load in the amount of
$3,320,000.
Morrow county will contribute
only two men to Oregon's quota of
351 being called up for a year of mil

to draft board quotas announced by
Lt. Col. Elmer V. Wooten, state di
rector of selective service. These
men will report for duty at the
Multnomah county armory on Jan
uary 20 and from there will be sent
to various camps for their training
period. The 351 men being called
up from Oregon is only a small part
of the number expected to be called
this month. Failure to complete can
tonments on schedule as well as lack
of equipment for more men is be
lieved to have resulted in the cut
in the January call.
ihe state bureau of labor was
called upon to settle 34 labor dis
putes during the past two years ac
cording to the biennial report of C.
H. Gram, state labor commissioner.
Thirty of these disputes were settled

report points out.

as compared to $998,250 for the same
month last year.

given its approval to the purchase
by the Liquor Control commission
of the Ford assembly plant in Port

trol commission for office space,
