'Great Decisions' Program Being Organized for 1957; Third Year Corvallis "Great Decisions . . . 1957," Oregon's community 1 education program in world af fairs now being organized for the third year, will be made available throughout the state, sponsoring organizations have announced. The program' is directed at building informed public opinion on foreign policy and was pione ered in Oregon in 1955. It has now spread nation wide. Oregon State college exten sion service, cooperating with the Foreign Policy association and interested state groups, will assist in carrying the program to all communities, particularly those in rural areas. The gen eral extension division of the state system of higher education, the state department of educa tion, the state library, and var ious organizations and agencies are cooperating. Develop Program During 1955 and 1956, the Foreign Policy association in cooperation with state organiza tions and local committees devel oped the program in five urban centers Portland, Corvallis, Eugene, Springfield and Med-ford. Although past discussion pro grams were organized primarily in the urban areas, many rural families participated through discussions on radio and televi sion, and in local newspapers. As a result of the interest by rural people, the Oregon Home Economics Extension council at its annual meeting last' June voted to help sponsor the Great Decisions program in order to make it available to all rural communities. Action was initiat ed by the council's citizenship committee of Mrs. Fred McCall, Salem, chairman; Mrs. Ray Barney, Hood River; and Mrs. Gladys England, Cave Junction. Commends Program Governor Elmo Smith has commended the program to the people of Oregon as "an out standing movement toward mak ing our foreign policies better known to every citizen and act ually giving every citizen a chance to express his views and be heard." Mrs. Maud Walker, OSC ex tension specialist in group devel opment, will assist in organizing and developing county and com munity programs. Emphasis will be on cooperation of community organizations and agencies in development oi trie program. Persons interested in forming community study groups may obtain additional details and study materials from local coun ty extension agents. Great Decisions study mate rials will again be made avail able through the Foreign Policy association, according to Warren Rovetch, Portland, regional dir ector. The FPA is a non-partisan, non-profit organization founded in 1918 to further foreign policy education and opinion polls among individual citizens. Designed for the non-experts in world affairs, the program will be carried on largely through small, informal discus sion groups. It will focus on key issues of foreign policy during the eight-weeks' program start ing Jan. 20. Foreign policy issues selected this year will be discussed in newspaper columns, radio and television forums, and school programs as a stimulus for com munity oartirinatinn The want titles and descriptions of the I eight topics will be announced later Rovetch and Mrs. Walker reported. A Nichol's Worth of . . . Comment On This and That By HARMAN W. NICHOLS United Press Feature Writer m Washington (U.R) The Army is stocking up on rolling pins. And if Granny, Mom and Aunt Tobiatha knew what our uncle was up to they would form a union, hire a lawyer and take the issue to court. Just what the charge would be is only Hirm.o McboM guess. It might well be defamation of the kitch en. But anyway, according to the Pentagon, at Fort Leonard Wood. Mo., the rolling pin, so dear to a woman's heart for roll ing out cookie dough and batting wavward husbands over the skull, has gone far afield. The brass of the Army has put soldier technicians to work with this handy little piece of kitchen- ware to prepare dirt for tests made of soil that is used in air field and road construction. Glory be! The boys of the 18th Engineer Brigade soils laboratory take rolling pins in hand and run them over the dirt hard enough to break it up into small loose particles. Then it can be tested easily for "compactability." Af ter that, the experts said, it is easy to learn how much the soil compresses under pressure. Modern aircraft weigh a heap and one little dip in the run ways could cause a wing-over with possible loss of life. Serious Business It's deadly serious business so far as the services are concerned. "Proper soil is just as import ant in road and airfield construc tion as correct concrete or as phalt," a high man in the-Army said. "Soil the part underneath, actually carries a good part of the load of traffic." An asphalt or concrete top, the expert added, "only distrib utes the load and takes the wear." At Fort Leonard Wood, out there in Missouri, the importance of soil testing was brought into sharp relief when Army engi neers were rigging up a 12,000 foot airstrip. There were two possibilities for the site. The technicians dug down and gathered various types of soil at both places. The sod went to the lab. and the best of class was picked for the con struction. Then the exact location of the airfield was decided upon. The technical men dug trenches and test holes in high ground where dirt could be cut away to fill lower areas. Next came testing to see how the soil would work as a "fill in" and the amount of compression it would take to provide a real solid fill. The soil likewise was tested to tee how much weight it could support without groaning or giv ing up entirely. And for the ef fect of drainage and frost action. More tests came after the lab work ended, this part at the air field site. Real idea of all this work is to insure that density, strength and other requirements are met. The rolling pin, at least out side of the Army, still rolls out the dough to make apple pies and hot biscuits. But the rollers the Army engineers have been using are not for resale to the farmer's wife. The pins that have been roll ing across clods dug from the earth are a little messy by now. Portland (U.R) The new Owens-Illinois Portland plant, the only glass making operation of its kind in the area, was to be dedicated at ceremonies today. Chairman of Area's '57 Program Named People of Jackson county will have an opportunity to partici pate in "Great Decisions . . . 1957," it was reported this week. The program for 1956 was conducted with considerable success in the county early this year, and plans have been made for the 1957 program to have even wider coverage. Don Hansen, chairman of the temporary committee which headed the effort this year, an nounced that Mrs. John Ouster hout, Eagle Point, has accepted the chairmanship this year. She and her committee will work closely with the extension serv ice, the Foreign Policy associa tion, and the radio and TV sta tions and the Mail Tribune in presenting the foreign policy discussion project early in 1957. "LET THERE BE NO DELAY IN HELPING OREGON TO GROW" "The climate for new payrolls in Oregon is ideal," states Governor Smith. "We are going to have trouble finding a place to put the people who are going to be part of our economy. For years Oregon has paid the highest average hourly pay to skilled workers, of any state in the' nation, and we have paid the highest average weekly pay check. We have high quality labor and they deserve these kind of wages. As Governor I will strive to bring new business and payrolls to Oregon." KEEP AS YOUR GOVERNOR Few men could equal the record for effective deci sion achieved by Gov. Smith in his short time in office. He has set a pace of leadership such as we need most at this time. His rep utation for fairness to ill and for understanding is known to both parties. 1 I i Fd. Ai. Keep Elmo Smith Governor Comm. R. A. (Dick) Kawlinsoa Cfarm. . . - Hi So. liberty, Saiem.
