Arrow Shaft Mill A 11 upens in reroy Cave Junction In an effort to beat the logging slump, Robert and Jack Nolan have started a new industry at Kerby. The two brothers launched their "Siskiyou Cedar Products," an arrow shaft factory, recently in a big garage rented from Ce cil Fessler at Kerby. With one lathe and one extra helper, Richard Poff, the Nolans' plant now has a capacity of 100, 000 Port Orford cedar arrow shafts per month. The men are building an additional lathe, which, when installed, will in crease the output considerably.

High Costs Force Bloodhound Sale Salem W The high cost of canine living has forced Norman Wilson to sell some of his blood hounds and give up his role as tracker of lost and missing per sons in the Northwest. Wilson indicated he wai leav ing his position with the State Forestry Department and will sell most of his six dogs. He said the appetites of his hounds were bigger than his modest sal ary could afford. In Dallas, Polk County Sher iff Tony Neufeldt said Wilson had accepted a position of night patrol deputy with his staff starting July 1. Under present plans Wilson will keep at least two of his bloodhounds but will confine future searching activ ities to the Polk county area. After gaining national atten BY ALVIN C. EURICH Written for United Press New York Russia and the United States are the only two great powers in the history of man that have' dared to edu cate everybody. The Soviets in recent years have surged ahead at a terrific pace. They gave much more than lip service to education; they as sign it top priority. In doing so they challenge us in an area where we think we are strong. We tend to pooh-pooh their ef fort at our own peril. The Russians have the advan tage with clear-cut goals for their educational system. They aim to train specialists for the service of the state who are munism. We want to educate the "whole personality", of the "total man" without knowing clearly what this means. To achieve their goals the So viets have set up a thorough and rigid system of education which provides for few electives. We have developed an easy-going educational program d i f fering widely among institutions and school systems. Few Electives Provided Because of the importance the Soviets attach to education: They have enough teachers. Practically all of their univer city graduates are prepared to teach in secondary schools. About one half of the graduates actually do go into teaching. The salaries of university pro fessors or top educators are just about the highest paid in Soviet society. The professor's base pay is 6,000 rubles per month. For any oustide work, he gets extra pay. Although a direct compari son in dollars is almost impos sible, at 10 rubles to a dollar, the Bill Introduced to Govern Fees Charged Indians in Klamath Washington, D. C. Acting to protect the estates of minors and incompetents of the Klamath In dian tribe from being dissipated by high attorney and guardian fees, Congresswoman Edith Green (D.-Ore.) has introduced a bill amending the Klamath Ter mination act. The bill sets a maximum on such fees equal to the maximum permitted under state law in the case of persons receiving veter ans betiefits from the federal tion for the role of his dogs and j government, 1; , r , i ., himself in a hunt for the miss ing Zeissler family in mountain ous area west of Dallas in the fall of 1934, Wilson came from California to Dallas to work for the forestry department.

She said no ilea aiaves vs. uicguu When the excessive fees charged Oklahoma Indians was brought to light in the 1930s, the phrase "Red Slaves of Okla homa" came into popular usage to "describe those Indians whose guardians had charged such ex orbitant fees that the Indians were virtually enslaved to their guardians, Mrs. Green noted. Recalling the scandal in Okla homa under similar circum stances involving the Five Civil ized Tribes, Mrs. Green pointed to the fact that some of these In dians were charged fees ranging as high as 59 -per cent of the we warn Illinois Valley High school stu dents Thursday at the annual Awards Assembly.

Minimum Fee Schedule Referring to the minimum fee schedule issued by the Klamath County Bar association, Mrs. Green remarked: "For example, if the estate of the minor is $50, 000, the cost of the first year to establish the guardianship, estate under the fee schedule of the Klamath County Bar association will run as high as $4,064 where an individual guardian is used. Assuming no withdrawals of capital and a normal return, an nual attorney and guardianship fees will consume $1,000 of the estate, so that at the end of 15 years, through guardianship and attorney's fees alone, will have been decreased by $18,064. The minor, out of an estate of $50, 000, would have left about $3l!000." In introducing her bill, Mrs. Green said she "had no pride of authorship. My objective is sole ly to protect the estates of those minors and incompetents of the Klamath Tribe, for whom guard ianship under state laws must be obtained, from depredation and dissipation. If there be any who have a better solution to offer. not be said, in the years to come, that we had it in our power to protect these children and in competents, yet failed to act. Such inaction I do not want on my conscience." Willamette Awards Presented Students Salem (IP) Students at Wil lamette university from Med ford were given recognition for scholarship, leadership and school service at the annual awards convocation May 22. Lewis Bright, son of Mr. and Mrs. Philip Bright, was award ed the Bruce Baxter memorial scholarship for high scholarship and character. Barbara Roach, daughter of Mr. and Mrs. A. D. Roach, re ceived the Robert C. Notson Yearbook award, to a sopho more contributing the most to the yearbook. Stan Culy, son of Mr. and Mrs. Gale Culy, won the Mary L. Collins scholarship, which pays tuition for the junior and senior years. Paul Shaffer, son of Mr. and Mrs. P. E. Shaffer, received a "W" athletic blanket for active participation in sports for four years, lettering the last three years, and a Willamette jacket for lettering in a sport in his senior year plus one other year. more a year. This places him on a' par with a manager of a large manufac turing plant. His base bay is about double that of a practic ing physician. Furthermore, a professor's taxes and rent are low and he pays nothing for medical services or for the educ ation of his children. Time Off Granted As an incentive to further study, teachers are granted time off -at full pay to advance their studies. . Students are admitted to an in stitution of higher learning wholly on the basis of scholar ship and examinations and not i .i ability to pay or an educa tion. This means that practically all top-ranking students have an opportunity for higher educa tion. They are paid for going to the university, the highest-ranking students getting the most pay. Students who drop out along the .way go to farms or may get technical training. Univer sity students are not drafted for military service, on the theory that no kind pf service can be more important than that per formed by a thoroughly trained specialist. This is a striking c o n t rast with the U.S. educational system where there is a critical short age of at least 120,000 teachers this year and another 80,000 teachers do not meet minimum standards; where professors in large universities receive an average of 57,000 a year and those in smaller institutions con siderably less; where teachers must take advanced training at their own expense; where top ranking students can get a high er education only if they can af ford to pay for it. System Not Perfect To be sure, it is most difficult to have clear objectives for an educational program in a democ racy. Also the pressure groups demanding their particular brand must be satisfied even though the result is utter con fusion. To be sure, Russia's educa tional system is not perfect far from it. The program is extreme ly rigid not only in prescribed courses but also with its require ment of a standard textbook for each course throughout the coun try. Also the humanities suffer with the strong emphasis on sci ence and mathematics. If, however, the long-range cold war is to be won or lost b the supply of highly educated manpower, is it not time for us to reconsider the education of our youth?
