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.

"That's nothing to what 1 am going
to do to her."
The 8-year-old son also testified

"But I Don't Borrow Money!"
You might ay that la answer to the statement that a bank
provides the credit machinery for a community. 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.

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.
