PAGE TEN 5EEDF0RD MAIL TRIBUNE, BEDFORD, OREGON. SUNDAY. SEPTEMBER 10, 1933, TAX DELINQUENCY CONSUMERS GIVE MAY CLIP RURAL HEARTY RESPONSE SCHOOL SESSIONS TO NRA CAMPAIGN Teachers Institute Hears Of Federal Aid Plans and County School Law Bene fits At Program Friday.. Under th "County School Law," tu In force In Klamath county there art no outstanding county warrants, money In the treasury, and November taxea to come, Fred Peterson, super Intendent of the Klamath county schools told the Jackson County Teachers Institute, at Its one day ses sion in the Senior High school at tended by 250 teachers of the county. Resolutions adopted by the insti tute endorsed the NRA, and deplored the tendency of the times to restrict or limit public school opportunities. State Superintendent of Schools O, A. Howard described federal legisla tion and acts, aimed to benefit edu cation and emphasized the need to maintain public schools, A statement Issued- by the Federal Emergency re lief board, having to do with work for unemployed teachers, he stated, provides that relief funds may be used to pay relief wages to needy un employed teachers to teach schools, which would otherwise have to be closed. The provision applies particu larly to rural schools. And also pro vides that relief wages be paid to qualified persons to teach reading and writing to those who can neither read nor write English, More people in trie latter classification, of course, he pointed out, are found In the more heavily populated districts. The legislation, however, may benefit Ore gon as well as other states. In all cases the work should be carried on under supervision of the regular scnooi authorities. Practically no rural schools have been closed down In Oregon as yet, but If present tax delinquencies con tinue. Superintendent Howard stat ed, many will undoubtedly be unable to operate more than three or four months. Outstanding school war rant In the 31 counties from which complete reports have been received, he stated, had Increased 87 per cent between June 1933 and June 1933, because of tax delinquencies. The committee on resolutions pre sented the following resolution which was adopted: "Whereas at no time In the his tory of our country has there been more urgent need for steadfastness and loyalty to one of' her great In stitutions the public schools Inas much as public education is one of the nation's major Industries, involv ing approximately one million em ployees, and serving thirty million children, outranking In the number of Its employees all exoept four of the major Industries of the country, having more employees than the automobile, the electric and the oil Industries combined. Therefore BE IT RESOLVED: That we endorse the program outlined under the provis ions of the National Recovery Act. Insofar as it afreets social and econ omic life today, and furthermore, we commend the efforts of the National Education association In attempting Continuing the Intensive drive stsrtid Thursday afternoon to bring all consumers of Med ford under the wings of the blue eagle, the women leaders of the canvass were meeting with a hearty response yesterday af ternoon and had covered most of the city, obtaining hundreds upon hundreds of consumers pledges. Monday the workers wilt tart their rechecx of the city, visiting again all persons who refused to sign the pledge and those homes where no one wss found In. Those who re fused to sign the first time ivlll be given a thorough explanation of the drive, and, It Is believed, they will not continue to oppose the agree ment approved by the United States government when the committee ex plains it Is the patriotic duty of every citizen to comply. ThuM persons who have not been contacted by the committee, and w.ho wli; not be at home during, the day this week, are urged to come to the Chamber of Commerce building and sign the pledges, assuring pat ronage of those firms which have signed the president's Re-employment Wage Agreement, and which are fly' Ing the blue eagle. The Chamber of Commerce will be open during the noon hour to re ceive persons working all other hours of the day, and wilt be open from A until fl:30 p. m. offering persons leaving work at 0 o'clock a chance to sign the pledges before continuing home. All persons who have signed the consumer's pledge are also urged by the committee to put their blue eagles in the window In order that the workers will not bo duplicating calls. E to formulate a working code for the teachers of the United States, accept able to teachers and NRA officials. That we oppose the withdrawal of educational opportunities to children by means of the shortening of the school year, or unnecessary limitation of subject matter offerings. We note wl.lt alarm the tendency obvious at this time to limit the field of second ary education. That we endorse the constructive forward-looking plsn for school taxa tion and administration In Oregon, as outlined by the "County School Law" as passed by the 1933 legisla ture, and further recommend that the people of Oregon avail themselves of the opportunity of adopting the advantages of school consolidation as soon as It Is reasonably possible to do so." , - "That this association go on record as expressing Its approval of the work done during the past year by the Oregon State Teachers association through Its various officers and com mittees." That we wish to express our appre ciation to State Superintendent How ard and other speakers and Instruct ors In this meeting, for the helpful? enjoyable, and successful program.- That we tender our thanks to the Medford School Board, to Superin tendent Hedrlck, and to Principal Smith, and his assistants for the use of this building and for the many courtesies extended to us during our stay here.

In fact, you might not be a direot borrower. Yet few people are free from those credit influences, You pay your house rent monthly, perhaps grocery, merchandise and other bills. How can even these small creditors afford to carry you? They In turn are carried by others until finally it gets back to where the local banks are the original source of a credit which extends like ripples in a pool.

APPLES Export Sales AUCTION Office Eleventh and Fir The Ford V-8 will go 80 miles an hour, drive 80 miles an hour? But how many people wish to N Hardly any. The speed is there for another purpose. If a oar is to be alert and comfortable and economical at 50 or 60 miles an hour, it should be capable of going faster than that. A oar, like a man or a h&rse, should have reserve power to' do ordi nary things well, without showing strain or effort. When you drive at your usual moderate rate, and yet to keep up that' rate your car runs at nearly its top speed, you are not getting an easy ride and your engine is not doing an easy job. It is wearing itself out. That is why the Ford V-8 is built to precision standards and engineered to do 80 honest road miles (not speedometer miles) an hour so that it might go 60 or 70 miles an hour all day with the utmost ease, and with no strain on car or driver. Let us add, and without excessive use of gas and oil. ' It is the margin between what you have and what you use in an engine that makes for comfort, longevity and economy. , It is much safer and far more economical to run 60 or 65 miles an hour in a car built to do 80, than it is to run at the same speed in a car built to do 65 or 70. There will be no excess noise no overheating no heavy laboring no straining mechanism because there is power in reserve. The benefits to the customer of having a Ford V-8 able to do 80 miles an hour, are numerous. In the first place, such a car must be extra strongly built: It must have a better steering gear.- It must be per fectly poised and balanced. Its wheels, springs, axles, frame and brakes must be of the finest strength and design. In the second place, a car thus built for the higher speed ranges proves most alert in the lower speed ranges. In traffic it is not speed you want so much as quickness. You want instant response and quiok acceleration. The high speed reserve of the Ford V-8 gives you that. The advantages of a high speed car are not in the speed. alone. Yoa may, never drive at high speed. Few people do. But to make speed pos sible, the car must be built to last longer, to run smoother, and to use less fuel. Everything must be up to the 80-miles-an-hour standard to give you superlative performance at the lesser speeds. PC September 8. 1933 rr V
