Our Schools
With a school election coming up shortly, it
might be well to check up a little on the size of
I lie job school board members have to face in our
country. The following was prepared by Jack
Flug, county school superintendent, and we be
lieves gives some very good reasons why more peo
ple should take an interest in school elections,
"School districts in the United States make up
more than one-half of all governmental units
federal, state, county, and local. There are some
04,000 of them. They have about 350,000 school
board members who have a tremendous job.
They are responsible for school property $16,
000,000,000.00. Supervised spending for school operations $6,
375,000,000.00. Supervised spending for new construction $2,.
500,000,000.00.
Employ 1,088,584 teachers who teach 29,000,
000 children.
"Above all, they decide what shall be taught
In the public schools. Constant Improvement of
the American school system has always been de
pendent upon the quality of the school boards
and the quality of the boards is dependent upon
the interest of the citizens for whom they speak.
"Some communities are blessed with schools
where teachers work with zest and confidence,
where children are understood and helped, where
the curriculum is the best that should be learned
of the new and the old, and where the people have
faith that the school board, superintendent, and
staff are doing what should be done. Where these
conditions exist, the relationship between board
and superintendent is indeed a fruitful partner
ship. Each gives of his ability, each gives ser
vice, and there is common satisfaction In seeing
children ami youth grow towards their best pos.
sibllities.
"On June 18, the voters in Morrow county in
each district will vote for schoolboard members.
We hope that you feel it will be much worth your
while to vote for the school board member of your
choice."
Newspapers and Economic
Well Being
If anyone still wonders just how valuable the
newspaper is as an advertising medium for re
tailersin this era when other media are com
peting vigorously for business he would do well
to study a survey made by the Bureau of Business
Research of Michigan State University.
The survey deals with the effect on rteail
sales of last December's newspaper strike In De
troit. It shows that a gain in over-all sales In the
Detroit metropolitan area during the strike period
was due to buying in the suburbs. Sales in the
downtown area actually declined by $35 million.
Editor & Publisher says editorially: "The
Michigan State analysis ... is one of the greatest
testimonials for newspaper advertising that has
ever been written. . . It , , , adds to the growing
volume of data showing that wherever a commun
ity is deprived of its newspapers all business suf
fers. "... when general business conditions are
good customers do not just naturally gravitate to
a store. They have to be attracted by advertising,
particularly newspaper advertising. People react
to a sales message in newspapers. They do not
react if the sales message and or the newspaper
is missing. Newspapers are essential to the eco
nomic well being of the business community."
That goes for the smaller papers as well as the
larger ones and for the villages as well as the
metropolitan centers of population.

SUN-DRIVEN AUTOS
About anything you can im
agine including autos, aircrafts
and stationery batteries soon will
be operated at low cost by solar
energy and without ever stopping
except for mechanical break
downs. This statement has the
authority of two members of a
three-man team that developed
the first successful solar battery
at Bell Telephone research lab
oratories. The two men, Daryl
Chapin and Gerald Pearson, re
lated the many wonders of' the
present stage of technical de
velopment Saturday at Willa
mette University during Alumni
Day celebration.
"The amount of solar energy
reaching the earth is more than
humans will ever be able to use "
Chapin said adding that every 48
hours more solar energy is avail
able to earthlings than all that
could be gotten from known coal,
oil and gas resources. All we
have to do is learn how to take
advantage of it," Chapin said.
