Ellsworth Asks Boost
In Access Road Funds
Washington U.R) Rep.
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.

Comment On This and That
By HARMAN W. NICHOLS
United Pres Future Writer
Washington flJ.R) Caskie ers who leave their papers be-

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

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

placed about the school build
ings for contribution from the

Al Medford High

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.
