Garbage Still Prevails
Trash! Trash! Trash! Where? Look around the campus
of WIS and your curiosity should be satisfied.
The halls are filled with in-between class snack remains,
gum wrappers, candy papers, pop cups and other litter can be
sighted in the halls, classrooms and In the parking lot.
Previous editorials have brought this problem to the at
tention of the students. It appears they were too Indifferent
to heed and do something about the mess. It's time now to
start taking on the responsibility of cleaning up after our
selves. A school like ours should be a school to take pride
in, not to use as a wastcbasket.
(Editorial from the December 5 HehLsch).
"Stash the trash" where It belongs ... the trash can!
Sixth Grade Capitalism
A new kind of grading system has been adopted by a
sixth grade California schoolteacher. It is based on a point
and Incentive system that pays the student, In imaginary dol
lars, for good work and fines him when he falls down on
the job. The teacher says the system works: ". . . It has
done away with grades. I substitute academic dollars."
At the beginning of the year, the instructor gives each
pupil a $500 credit to start the semester. The nest egg ex
pands or shrinks, according to the caliber of acaaemic work
produced by Its owner. Students can build small empires. A
superior student can acquire a firm that dispenses facts to
those who were inattentive in class or didn't do homework.
There are about a dozen other firms successful students can
buy and operate. They also may earn academic dollars for
helping slower students, for good work habits and for coop
eration In class. Says the instructor: "You can't keep the
kids at home. They come even when they're sick . . . The
students are motivated to work."
When parents criticize the idea of bringing capitalism
into the schools, the teacher answers, "But I'm teaching the
American way of life . . ." What Is wrong with capitalism?
The imaginative California schoolteacher deserves praise. We
need more like him.
The Arlsona Farm Bureau Federation quoted a Wisconsin
Industrialist as saying a new building should be erected on
every college campus A WOODSHED.
The Issue is Free Choice
Efforts to organize U. S, agricultural workers drew nation
al attention when union activities In the vineyards of Calif
ornia extended to the point of imposing boycotts against re
tail merchants handling table grapes.
The real issue in the grape boycotts is whether U. S.
agriculture must submit to compulsory unionism and wheth
er retail merchants can be compelled to remove items from
their shelves by the force of boycotts thereby depriving U. S.
consumers of free choice in the marketplace. Farm groups all
over the country have formed "Freedom To Market Commit
tees" which have undertaken to correct the false images of
the grape boycott and to uphold the right of consumers to
buy in the marketplace. It is inconceivable that any single
group in the U. S. should gain dictatorial powers over an
industry as basic as agriculture. And yet, this Is what pres
ent organizing efforts amount to.
As the Chicago Tribune comments: "If the union is suc
cessful In the vineyards it can move on to corral hundreds
of thousands of workers in other crops as well. And with
the power to strike at harvest time it would then have gain
ed a dangerous degree of control over a significant portion of
the nation's food supply. Congress should see to it that no
union gets that much power."
TO THE EDITOR
Dear Editor:
A poison ring maybe? Shades
of Cleopatra?
Ormond R. Bean, who served
as City Commissioner for many
years in Poitlatul and latt-r was
with the Lang Syne Society of
the Oregon Historical society is
the owner of this mysterious
piece of Jewelry.
Mr. and Mrs. Bean spent about
14 months In Cairo, Egypt, In
the 1910's and while Ihere he
was intrigued with an Interest
ing ring hand made of metal
and on top of which was an
enamel piece perhaps which
came from Italy. On this enam
el top Is a small picture of a
tree. According to the merch
ant who sold the ring it Is
thought that under this tree Is
tiny poison via! which will
be released as soon as someone
touches the hidden spring of the
ring top.
"Well," says Mr. Bean. "I have
never opened the ring and what
Is more I don't plan to."
Mr. Bean represented the
State Department In Cairo and
while there he and Mrs. Bean
visited the Holy Land and oht-
er interesting places.
At present he is retired and
the Beans are living at Terw li
nger Plaza.
Mr. Bean had a brother. Dr.
Harold Bean, who spent some-
ime practicing in Heppner In
the late 1920s.

Paul Clark Talks At Christian Church
On Nov. 30 Rev, and Mrs. Paul
Clark. Ricky and the baby were
at the Heppner Christian Church.
Paul is the son of Martin Clrak
who preached here for several
years in the early 1940's. Paul
preaches In the First Christian
Church in Vemonla. He showed
films and talked on the Osaka
Bible Seminary where his fath
er serves. Martin Is now Presi
dent of the Seminary. Much of
hiss message was about the O
saka Bible Seminary and its his
tory. Some highlights follow.
Mr. and Mrs. M. B. Madden,
pioneering among the pepolc in
Japan, envisioned a Bible Col
lege In Japan about 1935. Mr.
and Mrs. Harold W. Cole ac
cepted the call to Inaugurate
this project, and Osaka Bible
Seminary was Instituted In 1937
ble Seminary training program
in 1948 In temporary quarters.
On Apll 23, 1950, the Martin
Clarks began leadership of the
school.
Osaka Bible Seminary has its
basic source of income from
gifts and offerings of the Christ
ians In the U. S. channeled
through the missionaries whom
they support or sent directly.
After the film and message,
a tape recording with a mes
sage from Mr. Martin was play
ed. Also several members spoke
on a tape to be sent to Mar
tin in Japan. At the conclus
ion of the program Rev. Don
Johnson presented a check for
$227 to Paul who accepted the
check for his father. This mon
ey was a tithe of the Harvest

To the Editor:
I like to see a ball game
other people are the same.
I appreciate good coaching
and kids that play the game.
But time is fast approaching
when I'll have to forego
watching
For the slips and slide
approaching
and dangerous sleigh ride for
descent
Is asking too danged much.
We know about the problems
of who owns which and what.
We know about the money
'cause our budgets' always
flat.
And we know of all the excuses
some weren't even in the
book.
So folks, I'm gonna donate to
a special fund
to start getting that sanding

Dear Editor:
These Hippie girls! Are they
on the loose or are they some
ones granddaughter?
That has been the burning
question at Terwilliger Plaza the
last few days. Here one day a
resident of the fifth floor stop
ped In the Lounge and there
laying on the floor was a dirty
bare foot girl with filthy feet
The lady was so shocked at the
sight that she was speechless
and went on to her apartment
The girl was laying down be
fore a case of magazines and
was digging them out madly.
Was she just looking for one
or was she loading up for THE
PAD" How did she get in? All
of the outside doors are kept
locked now except the front
since they wander in now and
then looking for a soft place to
sleep (on the carpeted floors).
It was only 39 degrees the day
tne barefoot lass was on the
move.
When the Mahoneys were in
Portland recently, Hazel saw
them on the street and called
them "welrdoes" (whatever they
are).
We used to sleep with un
locked apartment doors, now
they are locked and a chain on
besides. We never felt afraid
as all outside doors are locked
at night.
Very truly yours,
Josephine Mahoney Baker
