Salem boy dumbfounded his
playmates Friday bjD announc

Superman" and then pulling
down a power pole with his
bare hands.
The lad, Duane Merth, leaned
against -the guy wire of a pol
In his back yard. The rusty wire
snapped and the pole toppled
over.
Merth's father was started too
and phoned Portland General
Electric? Company which dis
patched two trucks to the scene.
PGE men said the boy got an
assist in portraying his comic
strip hero from the fact that the
pole was a little rotten. No
power outage resulted.
A master plan has been pre
pared by Edson in cooperation
with the Lone Pine school board
to insure that future additions
will fit into a planned pattern
should a need for additional
facilities arise. The proposed ad
dition now represents the first
stage of the master plan develop
ment. School board members point
ed out that the present enroll
ment iS 273, and the anticipated
enrollment next fall is between
available for subdividing in the
Lone Pine District, and the fact
that the district is adjacent to
Medford makes a continued in
crease in enrollment a certainty,
they said.
This year's enrollment of 273
compares with 244 last year and
229 two years ago, when 11
teachers were on the faculty.
I In 1925 Lone Pine district
sold the old one-room frame
school building and constructed
a new two-room concrete build
ing, and for the first time em
ployed two teachers. The aver
age daily attendance for the
school year 1927-1928 was 55.
' Temporary remodeling of the
two-room building was- done in
1932, and three teachers were
employed. The average daily at
tendance had climbed to 65. In
1935, the district again added
two new rooms, a central hall,
basement and front stepsl
However the district contin
ued to employ only three teach
ers until 1941-1942 when the

of a combination kitchen and
meeting room to the Jackson
ville Community Hall started
recently.
The' addition, being built
with funds and labor furnished
by the Jacksonville Lions club,
wilLseat about 100 people. The
kitchen, which will be com
pletely furnished by the club,
will be large enough to supply
food for a large banquet .with
seating in the ballroom, accord
ing to Gordon Kirkland, club
president. '
The 26-by-54-foot addition is
designed to fill a need as a meet
ing place for organizations in
Jacksonville. It will also be
available for organizations out
side Jacksonville to rent, Kirk
land said.
It is expected that the project
will be completed sometime in
May.
Materials for completion of
the structure - are now stored
inside the community hall, Kirk
land said, making it impossible
to hold dances or other large
functions there until the project
is finished.

like others bitten with the show

an actor. -
Sam Goldwyn Quoted
"At . parties Sam Goldwyn
keeps-saying, 'I must put you in
a picture some day.' Mervyn

for me," related George.
"But at last I have done a
dramatic role that I hope will

headed for a big-time comeback.
"I was under contract to 20fh

he said. "I got the top fan mail
on the lot and was up for top

"Then came the war," he add

doing those things."
The handsome Montgomery is
determined to drive for acting
fame, but curiously he could
step into other creative business

years ago. When Alan Ladd and
other friends swamped him with
orders, he started a shop.
"We get hundreds of letters
from people who want to buy
furniture," he said. "But I'd
have to start a big factory that
would take time away from act

ship custom-made pieces."
Freight Increase
May Be Detrimental
3 Salem (U.R) Clifford Ferg

rail transportation for the State
Public Utilities Commission,
said Saturday he was afraid the
6 pef cent freight increases ap
proved for railroads Friday
o'would prove detrimental to the
economy of our state.
"This would seriously handi
cap industries of this state in
ability to meet competition in
eastern markets," Ferguson said.
He had just returned from Wash

rail freight increases before the
Interstate Commerce Commis
sion. The official pointed out that
90 per cent of the economy of
Oregon rests on basic commod
ities, most of which are market
ed in the East.
- He said reported "hold-downs"
to five per cent boosts wouldn't
help the state much since Ore

burden of long transportation
hauls.
The increases were approved,

and the average ..daily attend

In the 1951-1952 school year,

mad because there is no free
bread on the tables. You have
to order it and pay extra.
The 200-p o u n d :- lawmaker
doesn't eat bread and he hates
string beans with a passion. But
he got so worked up over the
string beans and lack of bread
he decided to look into the mat
ter. So, as he said in his news
letter, he called on William
Brockwell, manager of the
House restaurant.
The interview went something
like this:
Burdick: "Why can't we have
free bread in the House restau
rant like you can get in other
beaneries?"
Brockwell: "Well, some con
gressmen used to come in and
order a cup of coffee, grab all
the bread in sight, and would
not buy anything else. Not only
that the annual expense would
be $8500 for free bread."
Burdick: "I think I could ar
range with the state mill and
elevator in North Dakota to
send you all the flour you need
if you want to compete with
other restaurants on the ques
tion of bread with meals."
Brockwell: "No that wouldn't
do because it would cost too
much to bake it, and then if we
furnished bread with the meals
we would have to furnish butter
and that would cost a lot more."

OEA Debates Sales
Tax for Education
Portland (U.R) Miss Mildred
Wharton, vice principal of David
Douglas High School in Port
land, Friday was nominated
without opposition to the vice
presidency of the Oregon Ed
ucation Association. She will
suceed to the presidency in 1957.
The nomination was made at
the annual meeting here of the
OEA representative" council that
was marked by debate over as
sociation support of a sales tax
for school purposes.
- Representatives refused to
back a resolution supporting a
sales tax by name but gave the
association board of trustees a
free hand in backing any tax
legislation that would ease the
financial plight of school dis
tricts. A resolutio-i offered by James
King of Lebanon recommended
that the OEA "join with other
groups who are interested in the
welfare of public schools in sup
port of a sales tax."
Opponents argued that the
state's largest organization of
teacher: would be . committing
public relations, suicide if it sup
ported a sales tax resolution.
The council voted to support
passage of a tax referendum
measure that would permit the
state . legislature to put the
emergency clause on tax measures.
there, but he went on to allow
that "While free bread would
not solve the Benson surplus
wheat question, it would be a
national gesture in the right di
rection." "It would seem,'" Burdick
said, "that we are doing our
utmost to maintain a surplus of
wheat."
Then in the closing paragraph
of his letter, the North Dakota
congressman - said, going from
bread to beans: : I

"I may not succeed in all
these defenses, but I have put

position against "being forced to

Vets Should Keep Policies Up-to-Dafe
Veterans who fail to keep
beneficiaries for life insurance
up-to-date may cause unneces
sary trouble for dependants in
case of unexpected death, Coun
ty Service Officer Charles Hol
brook warned yesterday.
He said the most common
causes of beneficiary mix-up
are probably in cases where the
veteran has failed to. name a
beneficiary, or named a . close
j blood relative but later married
and failed to change the bene
ficiary to his wife or children.
Service life insurance hold
ers should know at all times
who the beneficiary is, and to
state in writing to the veter
ans administration, any desired
change.
Mix-ups and serious questions
occur in many other ways, Hol
brook said. Some policies are
now challenged because the vet
eran who went back into the
service since 1950 stopped his
World War II insurance to be
covered by free indemnity while
in service, then picked up hisf
earlier insurance again after be-
