The article was written by F. W. Haselwood, a district . i il. !? engineer ior me envision. a a a a THE engineer tells of the transportation situation in the Siskiyou area beginning with the building of the railroad in 1886. He notes that the grading was done and the rails laid by Chinese coolie labor. Around 4000 of the Celestials were engaged in wheel ing material about in dump carts and wheelbarrows. UORNBROOK served as a fueling station on the railroad, a 1000-foot long woodshed being locat ed there for storing the cordwood which supplied the wood-burning locomotives. Years later, Hornbrook was to achieve fame of a sort as a fueling place of an other type when adoption of prohibition in Oregon forced thirsty southern Oregonians to travel to the bars there for liquid supplies. There also, the thirsty could obtain the two quarts per month which the law permitted Oregonians to import. THE state highway was put through Hornbrook in 1 1914. the old staere road having previously passed through the little settlement of Henley. That first location of the highway immediately south ot the Ure- gon-Cahfornia border remained for years a major headache for travelers. The roadway followed up Cottonwood creek and its tributaries with frequent sharp curves and speeds over 35 miles per hour were attempted, as Engineer Haselwood states, "only after fasting, meditation and prayer." uct its north of the boundary, the improvement requiring Califor nia to build 1.84 miles in 1941 to connect with its present road just south and east of Hilt. In 1947, an entirely new California route having been decided on and right-of-way obtained, contracts were let for approximately .$1,134,000 worth of work. Surfacing at a cost of $304,000 was clone last year, completion of, the project giving California about nine and one-half miles of fine highway immediately south of the Oregon line. Automobile travel over the Siskiyou mountains between Oregon and California is now a mere breeze, compared with that on the earlier day steep, tortuous and time-consuming road way. E.C.F, Crosstown by Roland Cos "I came near to getting a raise today. Dear the fellow at the next desk got one." Washington Report By Bob Dickey TN THE late thirties Oregon began to reconstrt section of the Pacific highway jmmediately J! Bob Dicker Bear Ye One Another's Burdens "Bear ye one another's burdens and so fulfill the law of Christ" it is written in the Scripture and this coming Sunday Protestant and Eastern Orthodox churches of America through their interdenomina tional relief agency, Church World Service, will join in an appeal under the title "One Great Hour of Shar ing." In this campaign all these churches are united in an effort to help in alleviating the desperate need which still exists in Europe and Asia. a a 1MEMBERS of each congregation and the public in general are urged to give generously, to go to church on Sunday morning there to join in prayer and to take part in the great hour of worship, concern, dedication and participation. There are few, if any, in this favored land that cannot spare something toward meeting the desper ate need of the unfortunate refugees, the orphans and widows of war-ravaged lands. We can do little to lighten their heartbreak but through our material generosity and our spiritual outpouring we can at least help to give them courage, to support peace and to prove our own right to the name Christian.

School Problems In Oregon Told By Education Leader Oregonians should have an "eye to the future" regarding the state's educational needs, accord ing to Marble Cook, Beaverton, Oregon Educational association representative. Addressing Medford Kiwan lans at Rogue Valley Country club yesterday, Cook reported that there arc 10,500 teachers In Oregon now and double that number will be required by KltiO if preparations are made only for youngsters already born. Birlh Rata Up He spoke of the upsurge In the birth rate in Oregon and Immi gration which has swelled school population. Many schools in good financial condition think they have adequale buildings to meet school needs. Cook said. He warned, however, of develop ments that might expand school population greatly with short notice. Cook brought out that $200 million will be necessary to pro vide buildings t hut will meet the growth bv I n0. Another $50,000 to $70,000 will be need ed to renovate .ichools. many of which have had no work done on them since lMO, he declared Says Aid Needod The speaker brought oul thai lax money will have to be ex pended to provide lite facilities. He pointed to Inequities among distrirts, explaining that some school systems get by with low mlllage while taxes in other Ore gon districts range as high as 120 to 130 mills. Stale aid in lev eling off this unequal taxation should be obtained. Cook stRted. Staling thai people in Oregon generally say "no" to more taxes, Cook declared that adequate ex planation is not given voters. Of the tax dollar, he reported, only 10 cents is spent locally and 80 cents goes to the federal govern ment. Much of the federal tax is not seen, he said, and most com plaint is about local taxes. "We should go back to Washington, D. C. and get some of the load released," he maintained. A continued level ot school population will not occur for some time to conic, if ever, Cook said. Immigration will continue to make it grow. Cites Inequalities Bringing out other inequalities among Oregon districts. Cook re ported thnt only seven or eight have kindergartens. It is only right, he said, that all should have them. Districts as a whole, lie indicated, have not done much for the handicapped, Ihe "too brilliant," or the slow learner, because the districts cannot a' ford to. Oregon systems are de ficient In vocational education, he said. Cook is president of the Bea verton Kiwanis club. "The Starving Six" entertain ed the club with musical selec tions. Five of Ihe youths made up "The Hungry Five" who appear ed In the Kiwanis Kapers. The players were Ned and Ted Lan ders. Pnmeroy Sorum, Kenneth Piland, Jerry Lambo and Jerry Adams. Washington, Mar. 9 In Sen. Wayne Morse's Atlantic City ad dress last week before a conven tion of 7,600 educators, he unveiled a bold new plan for world peace. He issued a call for "an e x t r a o r dinary meet ing of the General A s semblv of the United Na tions" to con sider atomic and hydrogen bomb control and world armaments curtailment. Such a plan, Morse suggests, would be much more advisable than circumvention of the U. N. by an attempt to work out a separate "bomb control" agree ment between the United States and Russia. Stolen By McMahon Shortly after Morse an nounced his proposal, it made headlines across the United States under the authorship of Sen. Brian McMahon (D., Conn.) McMahon just adopted the Morse plan for a U.N. meeting to solve the world armament problem, but he added that the meeting should be held in Mos cow. Clings to Bi-Partisanship Morse verbally spanked those republicans who have aban doned the bi-partisan approach to our foreign policy. He strong ly contended that our genera tion will see the sunset of peace if the American people allow themselves to become disunited over foreign policy." Contending that part of the communists' infiltration tactics is to divide us on foreign pol icy questions, the Oregon sena tor predicted "rejoicing in Mos cow" it the American bi-partisan foreign policy collapses. Coalition The most revolutionary of the suggestions by Morse was his proposal to set tip a coalition of republican and democrat leaders "charged with Ihe responsibil ity of developing and adminis tering foreign policy at the state department level." The next step beyond this, ac cording to Morse, would be to have the bi-partisan coalition consult and seek advice from congressional leaders in both parties In advance of any major international negotiation. Air Academy in Oregon within a very snort time a team of army engineers from Portland will make a survey of various potential Oregon air academy sites. This will be just one small phase of the Investiga tions being conducted all over the nation. Many Oregonians have ex pressed interest in the possibil ity of Oregon being picked as the air academy site. But from in formation available here in the capital they would do well to refrain from being overly opti mistic. By the time the count less prospective sites have been narrowed down to around a doz en or so, Ihe academy's loca tion will ripen into a first class national political issue.

The senate ap propriations committee voted last week to provide $880,000 of federal funds to help fight the pest. The budworm has moved into the douglas fir and white fir forests infesting over a million acres of land. Eastern Oregon has been hard hit. The infestation has now spread westward into the forests around Mt. Hood and down in the Willamette val ley in the vicinity of Eugene. It has been successfully treated by airplane spraying with DDT but this treatment must be done during the spring. It is necessary, therefore, that funds be made available im mediately. And since a large part of the infestation is on fed eral lands, congress has been called on for immediate action Girl Basketball Player Shows How To Play It Sumrall, Miss. IU.R) Myra Ann Clinto, 15, can boast a bas ketball scoring record which most he-man professional play ers would give a lot to eaual. The 5-foot-ll brunette player on me numrau nign school girls team has scored 311 points in 10 games played by her undefeated squad. In a recent game against Eatonville high she tallied 64 points, better than two points a minute. Under women's rules, games last only 32 minutes, but in her last nine games, Myra Ann has scored 33, 56, 32, 30, 22, 22, 25, 64 and 32 points respectively. She scored on 151 field goals and nine free throws. by the Oregon delegation. Originally the house of repre sentatives, where the money bills' start, failed to include any funds in the urgent deficiency bill for control of the pest. But when the bill came before the senate, Sen. Morse made a plea for immediate action. Sen. Cor don, who is on the senate ap propriations committee, also took special interest in the measure and through his quarterbacking, his committee has included the emergency money needed in the urgent definiency bill. The house must now agree to the senate action, and the Ore gon house members have been working on that aspect. Rep. Lowell Stockman appeared be fore the house appropriations committee and presented the facts to them. He stressed that "many of the towns and cities in eastern Oregon obtain their water supplies from the tim bered watersheds where the spruce budworm is working. Reps. Ellsworth and Norblad have also appealed to the house members for favorable consid eration of the measure when it comes back to the house for approval.
