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

the low-priced
three?
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... "" .

News and Weather
For a Penny a Day
Bristol, Tenn. (U.R) "Lots of
news" plus the weather and
for a penny a day.
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.

in auto insurance claims during 1955!
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?
