X flX MEDfORD (OREGON) MAIL TRIBUNE Friday. April 28. 1950 Rogue River Eyes New Proposals on School Expansion cnio Biii Anr 9ft A con' cise report of the Governor's Conference on nna r.uucoi...... was given by Miss Marcella Mc Cullough, who attended the re cent meeting held in Salem, Tuesday evening at the high school at a joint meeting of the Rogue River school Ijoard and a citizens committee. Miss McCullough reported there were 2000 persons at the conference all intensely inter ested in learning what is wrong with the present educational svstem and why students are un able to earn their living after twelve years in school. Fundamentals Needed Failure to teach the funda mentals was given as main cause, she reported. Apprentice ship methods have been discard ed, nothing concrete has been provided and the curriculum does not meet the present needs, she stated. ntha nnitilc hmilBht Out Were an over emphasis on athletics for a few and a tragic waste of time and effort in teaching mu sic, such as the Drass ana rnym not Kanrla u,hn fttllHenLl HTC taught the fundamentals. Th citizens committee met at ,,nci nf tho t.rhnnl board to work out a compromise on two petitions inm naa imu .uun... ted, requesting a school bond election be held. One petition submitted by Jeff Irwin was reported to be similar to the bond issue, which was defeated by a margin of two votes on April 20. According to 11 Will, IIJ)I,uaiuibv ' Is being requested to purchase . . m . i v. ; ,. i. tne lana norm ui uie school and to construct a six room unit for the grade school and an addition to the high chool building. 185,000 Issue Proposed The other petition, presented by Douglas Buckle, requested a bond issue of $85,000 to build a six room unit of concrete, on the property adjoining, and north of the grade school. It proposed that the board purchase the Burk property and close the itreet between It and the grade ichool, thus combining the Burk property and the street with the unused strip of land at the north tide of the school building, thereby enlarging the school grounds to accommodate the new unit. The street would then be reopened at the north side of the Burk property. Both petitions must be consid ered unless a compromise can be worked out, stated Mrs. Reed Carter, senior member of the chool board. Buckle offered a compromise suggestion, that vot ers be given an opportunity to vote on the building sites. The Irwin committee agreed provid ed the amount of the bond was raised to $119,000 and the high chool shop addition added to the building program. The board will consult an attorney on the mater In the near future.

FIRE BOXES "THINK" Newton, Mass. IU.R) The modern fire alarm box is a robot with a mechanical mind of its own. It has the power to "think" and act instantly in an emergen cy. According to Frank R. Brldgp.1, chief engineer of the Gamewell company, which pro duces such systems, the box is virtually fool proof and can send Its message despite a broken wire or short circuit. When its electro-mechanical brain gets a signal that the circuit is broken, it uses the ground to transmit the fire alarm. Peach Twig Miner Now Danger; DDT Controls Peach twig miner are now appearing in large numbers in valley peach orchards, accord ing to County Agent C. B. Cor dy. He said the small worms first attack the new shoots and burrow down the center of the new growth. After feeding for a while in one shoot the worm crawls out and attacks a new shoot. This type of feeding, Cordy said, is not particularly detrimental to the trees, but it does allow the worms to increase in numbers and a second generation will ap pear at about the time the fruit is ripe. At that time, instead of working in the shoots, the worms will work in the fruit, which makes them hiijhly objection able. Control With DDT Cordy said control can be readily obtained by spraying now with DDT. He suggests the use of 1V4 pounds of 50 per cent DDT and 100 gallons ol water. For home gardeners this amunts to one heaping tablespoon in two gallons of water. On apricots, where fruit spot due to peach blight has been a broblem. orchardists should add a pound and a half of fcrbam to the DDT. or in small gardens, a heaping tablespoon.
