"N I He was impressed, he said, by the lack of know ledge by young folk working in stores and service stations in various towns about the historical sites of interest in and near their own communities. "It showed a lack of knowledge of Oregon his tory," he said. "My wife and I had recently completed the extension course in Oregon history taught here by Superintendent Towler of the county schools. That course quickened our interest in the historical back ground of the towns we visited, and made us more keenly aware of the lack of knowledge by the in habitants, most of them young folk recently out of school, in those towns." 1XE HAVE tourist host schools here in Astoria and they are, frankly speaking, almost complete fail ures. We get good speakers and educational pro grams and then practically no one turns out. Why not put the tourist host schools right into the public school system? Let's catch our "tourist hosts" young and bring them up right. Good, strong courses in Oregon history, with em phasis on the historical background of the home com munity, might be important additions to the curricula of most high schools or even the grade schools. Some Oregon history is taught now in most schools, but apparently we need more.

If we want to make our citizens enthusiastic and informative hosts to our tourist visitors, let's school them that way in their formative years, not wait until they are grown and have other interests that make them too busy and indifferent for tourist host schools. Share -and -Share Alike Coos Bay Times - There's been a lot of discussion.ood-natured and otherwise, since the preliminary census figures were announced last week. Generally, cities found they had fewer people than they had estimated. THE CENSUS figures show that the population of unincorporated areas just outside the cities had grown remarkably. Reason for people living outside a city are many. Some seek lower taxes, others want freedom from building restrictions. Some want larger building sites for gardens. Some have not been able to find desirable places inside the cities. I he problems of a large number of people living in an unincorporated community are not the same as the problems of a few people in the same area. Sew ers and water mains are needed. The use of streets and roads increases. More calls are sent for police and fire assistance. Fire districts can be formed to furnish protection, but the police protection comes either from the sheriff's office or state police, or else city police are called from their duty stations. THE CITIES serve the areas around them with ac- cess streets and business facilities yet derive little assistance in return. True, the business houses profit by this increased population. Rut we are speaking now about the other matters. For instance, there is state aid. Highway funds were allocated this year to the cities on the basis of $4.95 per person. Liquor fees amounted to 24 cents per person. t WE WISH that some formula could be worked out to have these state allocations made on the basis of actual popultaion served instead of on the popula tion inside the city limits. We do not favor force or coercion, such as was used in the Salem area, where municipal water was denied areas outside the city, forcing some sections to vote for annexation. The obvious solution, however, is for the heavily populated areas just outside a city to consolidate. If this cannot be worked out, there linist be some amicable way to solve the problem so that things would be on a share-and-share-alike basis. hph.

Incomplete census returns for the nation's largest city show that New York is creeping up steadily on the British capital. When the final figures are tabu lated, London may be second.

Greater London nas 8,390.941 persons, the British health ministry reported. Dallas Fast Growing Los Angeles, with nearly half a million new residents, and Dallas, Tex., are the fastest growing cities thus far tabu lated, but Dallas' rival "boom town" of Houston still is unre ported. Seattle, Wash., 22nd in the 1940 count, moved up to 18th, replacing Newark, N. J. Los Angeles passed Detroit for fourth place and Baltimore replaced sixth place Cleveland, according to preliminary fig ures. The difference of 620,498 be tween London ana New York may be made up when returns from Manhattan and heavily populated Brooklyn ' are tabu lated. Queens, the Bronx, and Richmond (Staten Island) have been completed. Queens Population Queens has 1,546,316 persons, an increase of 19.1 per cent over 1940.

"When his will was filed for probate, it was found that he left one-half of his S1.300 estate to the Eagles' Memorial Founda tion." Farabaugh said. The first use of foundation funds was for the benefit of the family of Bill Finnearty, Ath ens, O., who was captured in the .Battle of Bastogne Dec. 22, 1943, and was killed Jan. 2, 1944, during an air raid.

MacArthur Rejects Request by Russians Tokyo, Sunday, June 25 U.R) Gen. Douglas MacArthur today sharply rejected a Rus sian demand that he call off his crackdown on the Japanese com munist party. MacArthur said Friday's pro test note was a "conglomeration of misstatement, misrepresenta tion and prevarication of the facts." The Soviet note, sent by Col. S. Plyshenko, the acting Soviet member of the allied council for Japan, had formally protest ed against MacArthur i "police club law" In Japan and had de manded he call off his purge of communist leaders. MacArthur called Saturday's note "a belabored repetition of the line nf fantastic propaganda which for some time has been emanating from cenlcii of com munist totalitarian Imperialism."
