How to Change Our Image Recently Jane Rawlins wrote of the work being done by the PTA study group to "change the Image" of Morrow coun ty schools arid to create a condition that would Invite and hold good teachers In our system. This study group has a fine and sincere purpose. Is well motivated and deserves the support and interest of parents and school patrons throughout the county. The people, as well as students, school staff and adminis tration, create the image of our school system. It Indeed, we can generalize and say there Is a particular Image. By the same token, the image is well within the public's power to change. Certainlv everv Dcrson with tv...,..n rr H-,,-.rtf- 1 CT1T.-1T - TIMES.

And most men can look back and say with genu ine feeling and sincerity that his mother was the "best of all." Others know this cannot be true, because each knows his mother was best. Even so, each man can understand the oth er's sentiments. With this li. Mother's Day approaching, we're going to de vote this column to the "Best of All Mothers." as we see her, and trust that those who read this will understand that our mother. Mrs. Harrv A. iWllla) Sherman. Sr., holds this place In our esteem. We ask that our readers consider her as symbol ic of their own dear mothers and consider this a tribute for them, too. MRS. SHERMAN, who resides In her cozy little one-bedroom home in Forest Grove, is now in her golden years, but all the kindness and goodness which have been the keystones of her exemplary life are now com bining with her strong faith in God and her fellow man to bring her a rich mellowness and serenity to her elder days. Approaching four score years, every day Is an exciting adven ture and she has a rigorous schedule that involves meetings with her "Knit Wits club." church study groups, working tn a yard that is filled w ith a var iety of unique and fascinating plants, and tending to the needs and problems of children and Chatter Sherman family of nine children and knew the rigors of being a P.

Her Bible has been a constant com panion ami she lives by its precepts. She has an unshak able belief on the fundament al side. This was quite evident when. In the 30's. her over zealous collegiate son would come home from a day at Pa ; clftc U. and expound some of I the new theories to which he , had been exposed. She listened ;to these bv putting hands tight ly over both ears! I YOUNG WILLA grew up with the City of Portland after brief tastes of nativ Texas and young girlhood In the coastal wilds of Hebo where her daddy conducted his ministry at the time. Their home on the east side of Portland was surrounded bv jcow pastures. This same land is now criss-crossed by city I streets. Industries, and homes, 'as if it had alwavs been this. She was a beautiful girl in , her vouth with dark hair and j big dark brown eves Just as !she is beautiful today.

No matter where mother lived, she made the living nice, and the piano was part of this win ter at Olemta while the old single wall batten nouses mm bunkhouses were lelng built as ndiuncts of the sawmill opera tion.

Here, with brothers Harry, two years older, and Carl, sev en years older, I roamed the hills, searched crawdads In Die qua crock, hid out In the hob low below the rinits of uit old windfall to try smoking dried leaves in a crude elderberry pipe, and flipped water dogs out of a rancid millpond. While this threesome was seeking new mischief, mother always held us unknown to us under her watchful eye from the big boss's house on top of the hill. The big white collie, which was always with us. was a constant signal-, her bushy tail serving as a waving flag wherever we may be. There were times when we almost es ciiped this watchful eye when we swiped the dynamite from the storage shed or when we nearly drowned In the pond, but she managed to salvage us. Mother served on the school board of the district that sup ported the one-room school we attended, and she has been ac tive throughout her life In TO THE EDITOR IVar We.
