Kids Should Be Tourist Hosts
Aatorlan Budget
Ned Thorndike, an Astorian-Budget reader, has
returned from a vacation trip around Oregon with a
suggestion that more teaching of Oregon history in
the schools would help citizens give the information
on Oregon history that tourists want.
THORNDIKE'S idea seems to have merit.

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.

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.

New York challenged London's

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."
