McKay Speaks on Aid To Education Monmouth (U.R) Money spent for education and national defense are equally investments in national security, Douglas McKay, Republican candidate for U.S. senator, said here. In a "Republican night" speech before an Oregon Educa tion association workshop, Mc Kay said he had "no sympathy with those who refuse even to consider the merits of federal aid to education." Failure of federal aid to edu cation legislation in the 84th Congress was the result of oppo sition from three groups, Mc Kay said. He listed them as "those op posed to federal aid to the states per se; those fearful that fed eral contribution would lead to federal control of educational processes, and those opposed to federal grants to those states that refuse to end racial segre gation." "I cannot share the concern of those who fear that federal aid will lead to federal control of education itself," McKay said "I am satisfied that sincere and intelligent leadership can work out the conflict of interest be tween those concerned with racial equalities." McKay said the "most difficult obstacle" is creating popular understanding of what consti tutes "good" but not wasteful education and urged school peo ple to undertake this public edu cation task. i OJ.CC Stymied in Effort To Sell Old Building Portland (U.R) The Ore gon Liquor Control Commission has been stymied again in its efforts to sell its old headquar ters here.

Special features put FORD first in performance . . . three big awards prove it! A new record at Indianapolis Speedway (Average speed of 107.126 m.p.h. for a full five hundred miles )...The Manufacturer's Trophy at Daytona Beach (Top award winner for all-around stock car performance) . . . Class A Award in Mobilgas Economy Run (greatest ton-miles per gallon) No other car in the low-priced field comes near to equaling these performance records. Because no other in the low-priced three gives you such performance, handling and riding features as: 1. Highest Torque V-S Engln. in the field. Ford gives you faster acceleration, power when you need it even more than competitor's extra-cost "power packs"! 2. 15 easier steering. Tests prove that Ford is up to 15 easier to steer than its nearest competi tor. All bearings are precision, anti-friction type to make driving far less tiring. 3. Bell-Joint suspension with wide-base control arms for better steering, more stabilized wheel align ment... smoother riding. 4. 3 Forward Speeds with Ford-o-matic provides greater flexibility, better down-hill braking. Other automatic drives in low-priced field have only 2 forward speeds. 5. Largest-soiling V-S engine. And only Ford en gines in the low-priced field have an extra-deep block for smoother going and short-stroke de sign for less friction. These are only some of the many , fine car features that you get in a new way... "" . There's no foLdS U an easy paymoa m0nthly P?f ' ,0,S trade-in allege Tn monthly income. SEE THEM ALL .

That's the deal offered by George McCall and George Sch ieren, publisher and editor, re spectively, of the Eagle News. The Georges are 11 years old, both sixth graders at Fairmont School here. They publish their ambitious little journal daily in the basement of the McCall home. Just now it has six regular subscribers. Two small printing machines turn out the Eagle News and since type often gives out before an issue is completed, stories usually are pretty short. The other day, though, there was a bad wreck in the neighbor hood. The boys put out an extra and according to -McCall "We made eight cents and sold out." The paper's delivery boy, Jim my Keith, doubles as the report er, gathering news items along his route. Betsy Beach, who lives close by, is circulation manager. On Sunday there is .a bigger edition, containing a comic strip and a summary of the week's news. That edition sells for. two cents and is "just as big as we get news to make it."' The weather reports? They're borrowed from bigger dailies in the area. McCall says there's plenty go ing on to keep the paper supplied with news.

Allstate, the company founded by Sears, has long been famous for low cost auto insurance. But here's another important reason why Allstate Auto Insurance is a really better value too. Allstate's record is unsurpassed for keeping our promise of protection. Last year Allstate paid out 590,700,587 to protect our policyholders. An average of $357, 089 every working day of the year! At the same time, Allstate's service organization grew to number over 2,500 thoroughly trained, state licensed agents and more than 8,200 other full time em ployees conveniently located in 998 of fices throughout the U. S. and Canada. It's no wonder that in 1955, for the second straight year, car owners bought more auto insurance from Allstate than any other company based on direct written premiums. You can't buy better auto insurance, why pay more? T O C K See or phone your Allstate Agent today! DOUGLAS H. H1NESLY Phone 2-8538 JOHN J.
