'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.
