I'm sorry I have not written sooner but I could not because I and everybody else has been sick. Monday we arrived in De troit and immediately began a thrilling tour. First we visited Greenfield Village where the past is shown up through old homes, labora tories and experiments. After this we visited the Ford plant where we saw cars fully con structed in 70 minutes. Then we risited the steel processing plant where we saw steel made from bigots to processed needs, 'like frame parts and such in a mat ter of minutes. Last but not least we saw the Ford Rotunda which showed fords, Mercurys and Lincolhs of todey ajid tomorrow. There also was a chance to ride with a test drrrar. I am sorry I have not written more aftoa but the same rou tine has been continued every day, swapping, eating and camp fires in the evening. On Mon day the bobcat patrol, Bruce Bray, patrol leader, entered the loggers field day and won sec ond in this event with 200 points out of a possible 240 points. Thursday was the final day at the encampment and the grand closing was fascinating. We saw drill teams, drum and bugle corps, and an amazing group from Oklahoma which did un usual stunts. The most unusual was when a four-foot, six-inch boy cracked a 21-inch whip that could cut paper into confetti. Near the end, 52,000 boys lit up candles and appeared a beauti ful sight. We also saw Eddie irths McQUEEN To Mr. and Mrs. Stuart, 2136 Hillcrest rd., Med ford, July 30, 1957, a girl, 834 pounds, at Sacred Heart hospital.

TAB HUNTER NATALIE WOOD "Ihe Girl He Left Behind" Jamboree Draper and other celebrated guests. We have arrived home all safe and sound after a wonderful ex perience. Friday we arrived in Oakland and took the ferry across the bay to San Francisco. We had five hours of free time and saw the sights which San Francisco is so famous for. For those who forgot their jackets it was a wee bit cold: 61. We left for home that night. The Dunsmuir boys got off at Duns- muir and the rest of us left the train at Klamath Falls. There were many happy people as soon as we found our mothers, fa thers, kin and pets. Much credit should be given to our Scoutmaster Jack Thomp son and his assistants Duke Gladfelter and Bob Lafferty, and to all the other people who made this trip possible. Stan Dowson Reporter Thornton Rules On Fund Transfer Salem fifl Attorney Gener al Robert Y. Thornton said to day that $80,000 would have to be transferred from the basic school fund to the curriculum improvement fund Aug. 20 in accordance with a law passed by the 1957 Legislature. Although there was no emer gency clause to put the measure into immediate operation, Thorn ton said the intent of the law was to make the superintendent of public instruction immedi ately responsible for curriculum improvement plans. For this he will need the money. Thornton also said that farm ers who raise or train cattle or horses for rodeos or racing may move them in trucks with spe cial farm license plates as long as such transportation is exclu sively in connection with the farm operation. In a third opinion, Thornton said that a truck with a crane mounted on it that protrudes more than three feet in front of the vehicle requires a special permit to move on Oregon high ways. New One-Way Streets Slated in Portland Portland HP State Highway Engineer W. C. Williams said to day that Union and Grand aves. on Portland's east side would become one-way thoroughfares sometime this fall. . The arrangement will fit in with east approaches now being constructed for the Haw'thorne and new Morrison bridges and will help relieve traffic conges tion in the near east side business district, Williams said. Union ave. will be a south bound street for about two miles and Grand will be northbound.

Mekvold and Bruce Hitt, county school supervisor, have returned from a meeting of the County School Superintendents' association at Portland State college. The meeting was concerned with county school superintend ents and assistants making a critical study of the curriculum now being offered in Oregon schools. According to Mekvold, the superintendents wanted to know if revisions or additions should be made so as to fit the students for a world which is rapidly turning to automation and electronics. Mekvold stated the whole program was geared to a study of automation and the electronic age and focused on youth and their needs for living in today's mechanized and scien tific world. Mekvold and Hitt also were a part cf a group that took educa tional tours through KGW-TV's studio where they watched the broadcasting of the great books discussion. Mekvold presided at a general session on "Visioneering and Au tomation." The conference was sponsored by the Oregon Association of County School Superintendents, a department of the Oregon Edu cation association. 1 BIG CONSCIENCE Hartford, Conn.

S-DAYS ARE COMING! Watch... Waif For the Greatest Food Savings Ever! Travellers May See Ghosts of Towns Bloomington, 111. (IP Drive carefully when you travel through the central Illinois coun ties west of here, and perhaps you can see the ghosts of dozens of towns that might have been. The country is rich farmland today. But corn rows and soy bean fields cover what once were main streets of Blooming ton, Eminence, Versailles or Bowling Green. Some of the towns laid out in the boom of the 1830s actually existed. Others didn't get beyond the plat stage. More than two dozen now non-existant prairie cities were founded or planned in the land boom of the early 19th Century in Woodford, Tazewell and Lo gan Counties. Fewer than a doz en platted at the same time have managed to survive. Researchers have difficulty finding out how many communi ties once were planned in the aiea. Some of iiie old plats have been destroyed. But many of the old plats survive in dusty files names such as New Castle, Georgetown, London, Albany, Louisville, Hudson and Mont pelier. A few sites of the old towns are marked on the prairies with a stone, inscribed with the name of the city that might have been. Most of the would-be communi ties have entirely vanished. The boom developed as set tlers pushed westward in the early 1800's, and land promoters outran the development which was to come. The bottom dropped out of the boom in 1837. Some of the communities did survive. Old Hanover became Metamora. Three others. Middle town, Mount Pulaski and Post- ASSASSINATED Presi dent Carlos Castillo Armas of Guatemala (abjve) was assassinated at the Presi dential Palace in Guatemala City. His slayer, who com mitted, suicide, was a palace guard and found to be a Communist President Ar mas was the first to set back the Red infiltration in Cen tral America.
