Mayo Cuue E merl tut PrifeMr ut Medliin MiTn Foundation NEWS NOTES from Crater High School Sunday, November 11, 1S56 MEPrOSP (OKEGOi?) KAIL JfclSSfc THHEE 7 i Helping Gifted Youngsters For years 1 have been main taining that the most stupid and disastrous thing we Americans have been doing each year is to let many of our most gifted and potentially useful young people go with out a higher education in physics, chem istry, engine ering or med icine simply because they were poor and could not af ford it. Here itrt are our Hospi tals crying out for thousands more interns, and our research laboratories handicapped for lack of trained workers. And across the Atlantic the Russians have been giving, gratis, to thousands of bright young men and women a technical educa tion. Why? So that these persons will turn to and develop wea pons that can be used some day for our destruction. We, who have had billions of dollars to give away to Burma, or Pakistan or Egypt, have had hardly a dollar to spare for the higher education of our most scientifically - gifted boys and girls such as can be found in our great high schools! As I keep saying, we human beings are funny we are often so illogical in our behavior. Fortunately, at last a start has been made, and I rejoice as I read of The National Merit Scholarship Corporation, of Evanston, 111., which has just awarded scholarships to 556 gifted youngsters. Enormous credit for this step forward goes to my friend, Mr. Rowan Gaither and his assoc iates in the great Ford Founda tion which gave many millions of dollars. Money was received also from the Carnegie Founda tion; and later the N.M.S. presi dent, John M. Stalnaker, induc ed 23 companies to contribute funds. More money is still need ed, and it is to be hoped that many foundations and firms will now contribute to this best of all causes. I will never forget how sad dened I was a few years ago when I heard that the two most brilliant and scientifically-inclined students graduated from fhe high school in my city had had to give up their ambition of going to college. Because of their father's chronic illness they had had to go right to work to support, not only themselves, but also some younger brothers and sisters. Let us see to it that this sort of thing never happens again. Diet and Longevity My good friend. Dr. Nils P. Larsen, of Honolulu, said re cently, at a meeting of the Nev ada State Medical Association, that in the last 25 years there has been a great increase in Hawaii in the incidence of fatal heart attacks. After much study of the hearts of persons who have come to autopsy, he sus pects that this has been due to the fact that the people in Ha waii, with a good income, have of late, been eating much butter, cream, eggs and milk. In recent conversations with Japanese physicians, Dr. Larsen found that the village of Nar usawa, at the foot of Mt. Fuji, had the lowest rejection rate for conscripts. There villagers lived Llargely on soy bean soup. An other village, Mukojima, is peopled by persons with the greatest longevity of any village group in Japan. Some 8.4 per cent of the population are over 70 years of age. There are no rice fields in Mukojima and the diet of the people consists main ly of noodles, made from sweet potatoes; also dumplings made from "wheat-beans," dried sweet potatoes, and azuki beans; also, small fish and sea-weed, carrots and pumpkins. It will be noted that there is very little fat in this diet and, of course, only a moderate amount of protein. On such a spare diet the people can never become stout. By PAT MEDLEY Central Point Representa tives of five different colleges from the state system of high e r education visited Crater I Hieh school lasi inursuaj. Seniors as sembled for a brief talk by Francis B. Knickerson, ex ecutive secre tary of the sys tem. Knicker son explained the aims and goals of the different colleges, and told the seniors what they could expect during their first year of college. He also stated the cost of the different colleges, and gave some helpful hints on how a student could finance his way through college. After his talk, students wish ing to attend one of the five colleges represented met in sep arate rooms with the representa- rax Meaiey tive of that school. Individual questions were answered, and special problems were discussed. Underclassmen preceded the seniors in the individual dis cussion groups. The program was aimed at the underclassmen, to give instruction and aid in preparing their school curricu lum wisely. The importance of selecting subjects needed for college was stressed. The varsity choir sang for the Lady Lions style show at the Central Point Junior High gym last Thursday. This was the sec ond public appearance for the choir. A movie, "An American Girl," was shown at the Girl's League meeting last Wednesday. Sergeant Magnuson, of the WACS, spoke to the girls on the woman's services, and answered their questions.

Unemployment Rises By Timber Layoffs Salem U.R) Letdowns in Oregon's timber belt have added 10,000 jobseekers to the state's total, the unemployment com pensation commission reported Saturday. The increase brought the to tal to 25.400 against 21,100 this time last year. Early snow and cold. were blamed for many lumber lay offs and a slackening demand for lumber layoffs and a slack ening demand for lumber was also a contributing cause. WHY DO LUTHERANS BAPTIZE Because Infant Baptism Is the clearest jl?A f In the Baptism of a baby. Gee) gives Him self to one who is absolutely helpless, one who claims absolutely no merits, one who has absolutely nothing to offer, on who can only reeiv. And that Is the Christian religion in a nut-shell. But. the moment Baptism is denied to Infants, human qualifications have been set forth, and God has been denied His right to give Himself to the unqualified. The Holy Scriptures ore silent about the status of un-Boptized babies. But Scripture h very, very tleer on these pointsi taptiim Is a socremtM l.t., is Cod at work. Cod ffrvei, men recevet.' God'sovet by giving, mm k saved by receiving. The whole Christian Gospel Is tocramental God coming down, not man climbing up. Sopfism Is a means of Goo's giving, the ehannef Christ hoi chosen for giving His kingdom. fo human beings. He wonts infants, too, tn His kingdom. "Let th children come to me, and do not hinder hem whoever does not receive fhe Kingdom like a chid shall not enter if.. .Go therefore and make disciples of off nationt, baptizing them...". ,' If youltave un-Baptized children, b assured that the lord Cn7ist wonts them, too.
