) Student testing program adopted The Morrow County School Board has voted In favor of participating in the Occupa tional Information Access system cooperatively with eight other Eastern Oregon counties. The purpose of the program is to help students determine their best career choices. Counselors in the county's schools have been reviewing the program. County Super intendent Ron Daniels re ported that the counselors have been enthusiastic about the value of the program. Under the system a student fills out a questionnaire con taining questions about every thing from physical limita tions and education and train ing to aptitudes and interests. If the student gives fairly specific answers to most of the questions and has judged his abilities and expectations, well, he will end up with a small range of occupations that are well suited to him. The student may then re quest a 300-word description of job duties, working conditions, hiring requirements and em ployment prospects for any and all of the suggested fields. He may ask for a list of Funeral rites for Ida Mabel Ida Mabel Hopper, 87, Spray, died Suturday, Jan. 26, in Hermiston.

If a student is interested in a field that was not listed, he can find out which reponses caused a particular job to be eliminated. By joining in the venture with the eight other counties the cost is greatly reduced. Daniels reported that it would cost approximately $200 for all three schools, grades 7-12. This cost provides in-service training for the teachers involved, local manpower data surveys, books and materials for the students. One additional cost is neces sary for the needle sort set rental. The needle sort set is in a sense a manually operated computer system by which the student and the counselor determine the student's job interests. The need for seven sets is anticipated.

The tax levy increase as proposed would amount of $207,313. This amounts to a 16 per cent increase and would require an additional levy of $2.06 per thousand dollars of true cash value. The total levy for 1974 would be approximately $14.43 per one thousand dollars and would still leave Morrow County with one of the lowest school tax rates in the state. It should also be pointed out 1 that while the increase over the 1973 levy would be about $2.06, it would only be .59 higher than the 1972 tax levy. The 1973 school levy was $1.47 per thousand dollars of true cash value, lower than the 1972 levy. There are three reasons for the decrease in the school levy: (1) the budget increase was low, (2) additional basic school support money in the amount of $65,728, (3) an increase of $8,597,233 in the district's true cash value. The continued expansion of the Kinzua mill, as well as the growth of irrigated lands should result in an additional increase of property value in the district. An increase of $5,000,000 in true cash value would result in the 1974 levy actually being lower than the 1972 levy even with the large budget in crease. This budget document has been prepared for your review and consideration. It is now the duty of the budget com mittee to consider this docu ment in connection with the total costs, as well as benefits to the educational program and to reach a concensus as to the amount that should be submitted to the voters for their consideration.

During the Boer War, his men used the methods used in the book to stave off an enemy attack that lasted for seven months before replacements arrived. Baden-Powell returned to England a hero and decided to rewrite his book as he foresaw the need for it among the boys of England. In 1907 he brought together a group of boys at Brownsea Island for the first Scout Camp. His new book, Scouting for Boys, was an instant hit and his book was soon being read by youngsters around the world. In 1909, William D. Boyce, an American business man on his way to Africa, was passing through London and heard about the Scouts in England. He contacted Baden-Powell who gave him some of his books on scouting and Boyce decided to form a scouting movement in the United States. He did so on Feb. 10, 1910, in Washington, D.C.
