Harris Ellsworth (R-Ore.) said yesterday he had asked House Appropriations committee to in crease to $25,000,000 an admin istration request for funds for forest access road construction and reconstruction. , Ellsworth said every dollar spent on access roads brought in several dollars in timber revenue and that an appropriation for less than the amount needed would be "penny wise and pound foolish." years or $2,332,000 each year. Another difference between the two plans involves the amount of matching funds Ore gon would be required to ad vance. Under the Democrats' bill, the state would put up a dollar for each dollar it receives. Under the Republican bill, the state would put up about $1.15 for each $1 of federal money it receives. Difference of Approach This difference in matching fund requirerements is based on a fundamental difference of ap proach between the two aid pro posals. The Democratic bill would put each state on a par and simply require' it to deal 50-50 with the federal govern ment in raising school construc tion money. The administration's idea is based on an assumption that the wealthier stale should put up more than 50 per cent and the poorer states should be allowed to advance less than 50 per cent, while some would be considered half way between rich and poor and match funds on a 50-50 basis. A Nichol's Worth of . . . Comment On This and That By HARMAN W. NICHOLS United Pres Future Writer Washington flJ.R) Caskie ers who leave their papers be- Read and Use Classified Ads The Community's Biggest Marketplace Stinnett has thought up a way to get some of his money back from the com muter train which fetches him to work. That is, with out buying any rail stock. He's writing a book about some of the zany things that zany pe'o ple do (to in- Harmon NichoU i e r r u p t nis thinning) and p a p e r-reading while he's riding. Caskie has been round-tripping it five days a week from Doylestown, Pa., to Philadelphia for seven years. As yet, he hasn't decided what to call his get-even book. "I might honor my. adopted town and call it 'Next Stop, TDoylestown," he said. "Or I might honor the railroad and call it 'Rattlin' And Rockin' On The 8:03.'", Caskie is a writer who has been grinding out rib-ticklers for the magazines for a long time. All the while he's had the idea in the back of his head of mak ing his daily train ride pay him a dividend. . Wants Revenge He's going to wonder on paper who turns the heat on in the coaches in the summer. And try to find out if it is the same clown who lets the fire die in the winter. . . "I would like to turn on the turner," Stinnett said. ' He also would like a word with the conductor who gives the engineer a highball out of the station at 8:02 instead of the scheduled 8:03, especially on rainy days, when he's a block from the station. "Maybe his watch keeps per fect time only in perfect weath er," he said. ' ' There also will be something in the book about ways to steal a newspaper. Paper Trick "You get to know the commut- hind. You know their stop," the author said. "Some riders will spot a woman 10 paces and beat her to that empty seat holding a paper. Others have a cute way of saying, "Pardon me, if you're not using the second section, could I please see it?' Later they offer to trade sections. They have your whole paper read by the time they reach the terminal. Stinnett likes to watch the cute young filly who uses her false eyelashes and stage smile to get more miles out of her ticket. "She stirs up the tiger in that conductor to a point where he doesn't even look at the ticket," he said. "He just clicks his puncher, tips his round hat and moves along. I wouldn't be sur prised if she has been flashing an old library card all along. One of these days I'm going to peek." Games Party Set At Jacksonville Jacksonville A game party for the benefit of March of Dimes drive will be conducted Saturday, Jan. 28, at the Jack sonville Community club. The event will be for old and young alike and a variety of games will be played, " according to B. J. Christianson, community chairman. ; Miss Betty Stevens of the high school is the Teen-age chairman. 'All Jacksonville and vicinity residents are invited as well as anyone interested. Among high school activities being conducted to benefit the drive is a tape of dimes which now has about $7 in dimes and is steadily growing. Clyde Suth erland, superintendent of schools, said Cannisters also are placed about the school build ings for contribution from the students.

NO TIME FOR DUCKS Hartford, Conn. -(U.R) Ducks prevented the Keney Park pond from freezing over by contin ually skimming over the sur face. To satisfy ice skating en thusiasts park department at tendants shooed the ducks away for several days by setting off firecrackers. The ducks were iced out. IN STEP East Lansing, Mich. '(U.R) Lucinda and Melinda Coulter of Saginaw are 18-year-old identi cal twins and they received iden tical grades, straight A's, in their first term at Michigan State University, . In classifying the states ac cording to their economic status, the Eisenhower administration placed Oregon among the states that are relatively well off and therefore should contribute more toward their school build ing needs than some other states. Protest by Neuberger This has led to a protest by Sen. Neuberger who told the Senate this week that "in re cent years Oregon has not been a wealthy state." He said the Bureau of Internal Revenue in formed him that tax collections in Oregon dropped 15.2 per cent from 1952 to 1954. He said the only state to suffer a greater proportionate decline was Wyo ming, with 16.5 per cent. "And Oregon is only 17th among the state in average per capita income, which while it is far from the bottom group in wealth certainly does not make it one of the rich states of the nation," Neuberger said. 1 The senator said that in view of these facts he disagreed with the administration's classifica tion of Oregon among the wealthier states that would have to put up more funds than they receive from the federal govern ment. Poorer Slates The other western states grouped with Oregon among the richer states are California, Washington, Colorado, Nevada and Wyoming. Grouped with the poorer ones are Idaho, Montana, New Mexico and Utah. The other states included in the well-off category are Con necticut, Massachusetts, New Jer sey, New. York, Pennsylvania, Rhode Island, Illinois, Indiana, Michigan, Missouri, Ohio, Wis consin, Delaware and Maryland. The bulk of the states classi fied as poorer than the average are in the South. Volunteers Map Leisure Program Kingston, R. I. (U.R) The "miracle of Main Street," in Ridgefield, Conn., was described recently by a University of Rhode Island professor. Dr. Marvin Rife, writing in Recreation, published by the National Recreation Associaton, said citizens of Ridgefield map ped out a year-round leisure time program for its residents of all ages. The town established a community center where a va riety of activities for both adults and chldren are conducted. "The volunteer efforts of citi zens," he wrote, "have trans- j iormed the cold skeleton oi an old building into a warm, friendly community center." Dr. Rife was a member of the center's board of directors and program committee chairman for two years before joining the Rhode Island faculty. Among the features of the cen ter are a canteen for teen-agers, open afternoons, week-end days and evenings, and classes in ballet, dramatics, dancing, bas ketball, French, photography, golf, a ski club a theatre guild and educational movies. A day camp was operated last summer, and a day nursery for pre-school children was started this fall. Dr. Rife said some of" the fac tors that contributed to the suc cess of the center were "good old hard work, thorough and ac curate records, competent lead ers response to public need, pub lic relations, regular meetings, central office efficiency, flexi bility of program, inclusive na ture of services and economy." Rabbits and hares will eat almost every kind of plant or fruit they can nibble on the ground. Buying a car?
