them by rattling dish puns nnd

which caused them to think they

In an interview today Mr. Fat
McFarland drew some compari
sons between the Oregon and
California school systems:
"The California educational sys
tem has it all over the Oregon
system." he said. "I could dilate
on many reasons for this superi

fact that since attending high
school, in Oakland, I have gained
over f, pounds to what 1 weighed
here and that's no boloney either.

now.
"Another thing I should point
out is that the California system
is more cultured, which is illus
