o o f t In The Day's News - wBy FRANK JENKINS QEpeaker of the House Sam Rayburn (a good Texas Demo crat) says Democratic leaders will press or an early house de-cisio-pn federal school aid legis lation as soon as me congress re convenes in January. Q think we'll get a (federal aid) scnooi diu T HOPE very much he's wrong Already we've taken exclu- live control of too many of our local affairs out of our city halls our courthouses and our State- houses and shared it with Wash ington in order to get federal money. I hope most sincerely that we can Weep control of our schools AT HOME. pOVEROR PATTERSON of Cireffnn Viae avnrpecoH iho Three Meetings Set For Advance Gifts Group of Campaign The advance gifts committee of the Rogue Valley Memorial hospital fund raising campaign will meet two mornings this week and one morning next week during the holiday season Previously daily breakfast meet ings were held. The committee will meet at 'i a.m. Tuesday and Thursday this week, and Wednesday, Dec. 28, at the JaAson hotel. Starting Wednesday- night, Jan. 4, the advance gifts commit tee will join the genera3! cam paign organization of J.50 volun teers for the general campaign. Obtain Subscriptions The campaign is to obtain sub scriptions and donations for a new 78-herl hosnital costing an estimated $1,900,000 at the cor ner of Barnett and Murphy rds. Of the total .amount, $714,000 will be raisecr by the advance gifts committee and tha general campaign organization. About $600,000 has already been contributed and another $586,000 was inticipated from federal Hill-Burton funds. The state board of health has recom Jtoended $563,000 in federal funds. Last week an additional $26,300 was mage available through Ford Foundation funds. General Campaign Chairman Otto J. Frohnmayer said the ad . vance gifts campaign is making "excellent progress" and that a large gifts campaign is making "excellent progress" and that a large , number of memorials are being subscribed by individuals, firms and corporations. General Organization The general organization is being organized under the di rection of Walter G. Garner and James J. Dunlevy. They have issued an invitation for all men who are in position to spend a fesr hours daily and attend breakfast meetings to volunteer for the campaign.- They pointed out that "aovery large number" of men already have volunteered, but added there are openings for an addi tional 25 volunteers. hope that we can get FINAN CIAL, help for our schools from the federal government. Much as I like and respect him, as good a governor as think he has been, I feel that he's wrong on that point. After all, tax money is TAX money It all comes out of the pockets of the people, because there is nowhere else for tax money to come from. And The tax dollar . we send to Washington comes back to us all shrunken out of shape. w TH considerable regret be- him I find myself in disagree ment with Governor Patterson on another point. He has expressed disapproval of Giles French's proposed fed eral system for the apportion ment of the Oregon legislature. Under the French proposal, the Oregon house of representatives would be apportioned according to population, but EACH COUN TY would have one senator. It ij called the federal system, because that is the way the membership of the U.S. congress is apportioned among the states QUESTION: Why is this "fed- era!" system better for Ore gon? Answer (according to my way of thinking): Because it- keeps the cow counties in -control. Another question: Why is it better to keep the cow counties in control? Answer: Because (generally speaking) there is' more horse sense and less something-for- notnmg tninmng in the cow counties. QTEPPING over from local to - world affairs, Secretary of State Dulles is in Paris for a meeting of the North Atlantic Council of Ministers (NATO in alphabet language.) He told the NATO ministers this morning that the East- West cold war is ON AGAIN. He said the Kremlin chiefs have opened dangerous new cold war fronts in the Middle East and South Africa. He added: "In the past, the 15 Atlantic Pact nations have overcome even greater dangers by re maining vigilant and ' united." This was his boiled-down ad vice: "United, we can stand;- di vided, we will FALL." "DEFORE the council session, Canada's foreign minister Lester Pearson called on Dulles and conferred with him for nearly an hour. It is believed the Canadian foreign minister told Dulles , of his recent trip to Moscow where Kremlin leaders had bluntly recommended that Can ada QUIT THE NATO ORGANI ZATION. Reportedly, the Russian -leaders told Pearson that Canada fortunately escaped destruction in two world wars BUT WOULD NOT BE SO LUCKY IN A THIRD CONFLICT. THAT can be interpreted only as a threat and a rather grim one. The Kremlin tiger is showing its stripes. . - . o Federal Funds Available To Some School Districts Ten Jackson county school dis tricts are circulating question naires to det9rmine if they are eligible for federal funds be cause parents live or are em ployed on government property.
