ILLINOIS VALLEY Last Kids Night Is Held By HELEN BOTTEL Cave Junction The last O'Brien Kids Night of the school year, and possibly, the final presentation of the monthly event, was held Friday. Because Principal John Grubb will not teach at O'Brien next year. Kids Night, which he in stigated three years ago, will be without a leader. It was through the use of Grubb's phonograph and amplifying sys tem, as well as through his square dance instruction that the popular dances were able to function. He also ran the projection machine and was responsible for renting the movie films which provided entertainment for chil dren and parents earlier in the evening.

The missiles are capable of carrying atomic warheads. A joint statement by the United States and Nationalist China said "This action is taken wholly for defensive purposes of deterring and if necessary re pelling attack." The statement made it clear the Matador unit of the U.S. Air Force is not here now. There was no indication when it will arrive. The Matadors operate at a speed of more than 650 miles an hour and have a range of several hundred miles enough to reach the Chinese mainland across the Strait of Formosa. The statement said the United States and Nationalist China have agreed to the stationing of Matedors on Formosa because of the continued Chinese Com munist military build-up on the mainland opposite Formoa. The missiles will not be given to the Chinese Nationalists but will be handled by U.S. Air Force personnel. There was no indication if nuclear warheads were being sent here with the Matadors.
