Newspaper Page Textif iPAGE FOim MEDFORD MAIL TRIBUNE. MEDFORD. OREGON,' THURSDAY, SEPTEMBER 11, 1941 HERMISTON HELP RED TAPE Governor Charges Bureau cratio Methods Hamper Efforts Expand Schools. Salem, Sept. Gov. Charles A. Sprague charged to day that the city of Hermlston'i application for federal aid for its overburdened school system "appears to be badly bogged down with bureaucratic red tape in Washington." The governor's statement was contained in a letter to Mrs. Joseph Swanson of Hermiston, who wrote the governor com plaining bitterly that her daugh ter was not accepted at the Jler miston high school because there was no room for her. The city, where a federal am munition dump Is being con structed, reported its school en rollment is 1,223, compared with 487 last year. Three months ago the city asked the government to provide school funds under new federal law to assist com munities whose facilities are overtaxed by defense activities. The governor told Mrs. Swan son that he had asked the gov ernment for clearance of the project, but that he has "not been accorded the courtesy of a reply." He said the delay is "inexcusable." Mrs. Swanson wrote the gov ernor that there is room at two churches and a library where school classes could be held, adding that if the workers leave Hermiston because their chil dren cannot be educated, "Uncle Sam's work will not be fin ished." Communications George Wants Some Action To the Editor: Quite often people, knowing of my "writing ability" (?), stop me on the street and want me to write an article on some subject or other;' recently the main subject has been the many serious and fatal automobile accidents, and I will be told how the guilty driver has had a long past record as a careless driver, etc.; and invari ably, these same persons will be "absolved from all blame." This has become such a record that this class of reckless driv ers have taken an attitude of "why should I care, I won't be blamed if 1 do kill someone." People have told me that they don't go for a drive because of the probability of being wrecked (Service stations take note). 1 thought possibly the traffic council would be interested so I attended their meeting this week, but when I broached the subject there seemed to be very little interest. I know of only one official that is interested in this subject and that is our district attorney, lie has started a move to get some action through the Eagles lodges. There is a law, passed by our last legislature, that applies to this matter and I think it would be a good thing if the Mail Tribune would print an article describing this law, and then if we would get one or two con victions under it there might be a chance to make these reckless drivers think, (provided they have something to think with).

Transfers were around 600, 000 shares. In addition to the come-back in staples, which dipped yester day on the proposal to release government-held farm products as a means of halting soaring prices, securities seemed to have been aided by a moderately bet ter brand of foreign news. The business picture remained more or less encouraging. Japanese bonds exhibited re newed strength on the talk of easing far eastern tension.
