o O O O ' ' J G D EtSKT MSDPOXD (OREGON) Approval Expected For School Washington V Leaders 1 of th National Education Assn. j JEA predicted Saturday that ; Congress will approve at least pari of their sweeping space-age program for federal support of public schools. The five-point legislative pro gram, which the nation's largest educational organization will lay before Congress when it recon- j venes next month, carries an im molate price tag of $1,100,000, 000 a year. It calls for a steady increase in federal contributions ! over the next five years, level ling off at $4, 600,000.00ft a year. Administration officials had no immediate comment on the NEA plan. But it is known that President Eisenhower's staff is working on a much more limit ed program of federal aid to ed ucation, totaling about 250 mil lion dollars a year. Ask "Massi" Support Th NEA proposals unveiled at press conference here Fri day were highlighted by a plea for "massive" federal support of all public schools systems in the nation "on a continuing basis." The NEA said federal grants of $25 per school age child should be distributed to the states strict ly on the basis of population.

The grants would be increas ed gradually to a level of SI 00 per school age child within five years. The average outlay per school child at present is S332 a year. Nearly all of this comes from state and local tax funds. Dr. William G. Carr, executive secretary, said this is the first time the 100-year-old NEA has , advocated the federal govern i ment assume a continuing re : sponsibility for helping to pay school costs. In the past, NEA proposals for federal aid have been in terms of shorterm "emer gency" programs of classroom construction.

MILK Day! Sunday, December 22, 1957 School Hedrick Junior High By JIM FRAKE One of the outstanding events of the Christmas season was held Wednesday night in the Hedrick Junior High school aud itorium. At 8 p.m. the public witnessed the first Christmas program presented by the com bined secondary schools of Med ford. The program consisted of the students in the music de partments from the Medford High, Hedrick High, and Mc Loughlin Junior High school. The program was divided into two parts, the Legend of Christ mas and the Adoration of the Christ Child. The program was directed by Jerry L. Dyrud, Lynn Sjolund, Ray Lewis, Rob ert Anderson, Carroll Graber, and John Drysdale. Further a c k n owledgements were extended to Catherine Fon ken, Hedrick art department; Jack Teeters, McLoughlin art de parment; Elmer Ayres, and Aud rey Bartlett, orchestra. The stage crew was under the supervision of Duar.e Richardson, Hedrick shop instructor. The accompa nists were Ray Lewis, Melody Pierce, and Robert Anderson. The stage lighting was done by the Hedrick Junior High school technicians under the direction of Jerry McDougall. The student technicians were Darrell Sutton, Ken Peek, Jim Frake, Stan Dow son, Fred Lorish, and Jim Yoder. Mr. and Mrs. Bruce Nelson are the parents of a baby girl, Judy. Nelson Is the Hedrick dean of boys and also teaches mathe matics. Another Christmas present was delivered to Mr. and Mrs. James Miller. The new baby was named Ann Elizabeth. Miller, who joined the Hedrick faculty ! this year, teaches science and mathematics. The student body at Hedrick all "pitched in" to boost the canned food drive on to success. The canned foods contributed were given to needy families by the Red Cross. The Hedrick Junior High producers league News school halls were decked with gladness Friday as the beginning of Christmas vacation approach ed. The students hurridly bid good-by to the empty class rooms until they see them again Jan. 2. Before leaving for vacation trips and vacations spent at home, students enjoyed Christ mas home room parties Friday. Many home rooms joined with others in celebrating the season's event. Many home rooms at Hedrick collected clothing for needy fam ilies. Also, instead of exchang ing gifts at their Christmas par ties, many students donated money for the Hedrick nurse, Martha Donahue to buy food for needy families. The Hedrick Junior High band will present a program over KBES-TV on Jan. 7. The various selections will be directed by Ronald Bartlett, band director. A football award asembly was held in the Hedrick auditorium Dec. 20. The coaches of the teams presented the football let ters to the students. The coach es were Barney Riggs, ninth grade; James Miller, eighth; Duane i Richardson and Dale Bates, seventh. During the as sembly the Hedrick Junior High school band played popular songs. Vincent Bevis also spoke on the success of the Hedrick football teams. He concluded his speech for making a "plea" for rooters to support the faculty team in the waited Faculty vs. Ninth grade basketball team game that afternoon. The Hedrick Junior High school faculty challenged the Hedrich ninth gade .basketball team to a game Friday, Dec. 20. The annual event was played at 1:15 in the Hedrick gymnasium. The score was very close during the game but the faculty slipped in points at the end to win with a score of 24 to 21. Main attraction of the game was the faculty yell squad com posed of the women teachers. They formed their on group of "rooters". Many yells were given and also the formation of the letter "F" for Faculty was made. The Hedrick Junior High school dance band played during the game. CP, Jewett Schools By JODY VAN HORN At the Jewett school room parties were held Friday. Names had been drawn for a gift ex change. A show was presented to all students.

McLoughlin Junior High j By JOEL GREGORY ! Christmas parties were held 1 in the home rooms on Dec. 20, and school was dismissed for the holidays. Several home rooms cooperated with the Jun i ior Red Cross by exchanging I food items instead of gifts. The food was then donated for distri bution to Medford families. The large tree in the main hall was decorated by the girls of the Future Homemakers of America, and donated by "Doc" Simpson. Student teachers completed their work at McLoughlin on Dec. 16. Those who worked here this quarter were Bill Russell, LaRayne Weed, Bob Anglim, and Dennis Davis. i In the girl's volley ball tour i ney this week, games were won i by rooms 28, 41, 5, 27 and 6. !

Jackson School By Larry Shore and Frank Sullivant Wednesday at 1 p.m. the sec ond and third grades put on the Christmas play at the Jackson school for the children. Thurs day night the parents saw the same entertaining program. There was such a large turnout that the auditorium could have been twice as big. j Mrs. Jane Snodgrass second 1 grade room put the decorations Congressmen Ask Aid For Mice Control Washington (W Oregon congressmen called Saturday for a government "crash" program against raids of field mice that have caused five million dol lars worth of farm crop dam age in Oregon. Sen. Wayne Morse and Rich ard L. Neuberger and Rep. Al Ullman reported as many as 20,000 marauding mice per acre in some areas of eastern Ore gon, damaging wheat, hay, al falfa, and other crops in their forage for food. The lawmakers asked for em ergency funds from the Fish and Wildlife service, the Agricul ture Department, and the Pub lic Health service for a "crash program of extermination." The Oregonians said that Gov ernor Robert Holmes has em phasized the "critical nature" of the situation in telegrams to Agriculture and Fish and Wild life officials. Draft Slep-Up Set For Coming Year Washington . HP) The De fense Department plans to step up its draft calls next year above current levels. The department announced on Friday that 13,000 draftees would be called during Feb ruary, 3,000 above the current rate. All of the February draftees will be assigned to the Army. The February call was the highest since last July. The Jan uary total, previously announc ed, will be 10,000 men. The department said monthly draft calls for the rest of 1958 would be about the February level. on the hall bulletin board this week. The children made little miniature cathedral windows The designs for these windows were beautiful. The children en joyed this project. Dec. 20 we had our Christmas parties. The good refreshments were furnished by our home room mothers.' Everyone enjoyed the treat from the Jackson school PTA. We'll all be back in school Jan. 2, after a vacation. This year the fifth and sixth graders decided instead of ex changing gifts they would take a collection and send it to CARE to buy food and clothes for chil dren across the sea. The amount sent was $30. The 12-mile Simplon tunnel in the Swiss Alps required eight years to build. ttlttW All 1 11 or More OFF! ALL TOYS!

(OPEN EVENINGS) "I tj&j I & SUNDAYS j ' I t-9 The Medical Roundup to 1 v No Danger in Denial X-Rays Of late there has been so much alarmist writing in regard to stray radiation that many per sons have be c o m e unduly alarmed over x-r a y studies, such as have been made by the million for the last 40 years or so. At the recent meeting of the American Alvarez Dental Association, a panel of experts on radiation assured the public that there is no justifica tion for concern about dental ray examinations. They said, there is no evidence that the making of dental films will be harmful to the j tient. Today, with the ultra-rapid new films, the exposure is only about a twelfth of what it used to be. The only person who ought not to be x-rayed over her pel vis is a woman who has just be come pregnant; the little em bryo might be damaged because embryonic tissues are especial ly susceptible to injury from radiation. Some Hope for Persons Wilh Cancer of the Lung I see that Professor Arthur P. Stout, of New York, just re ported that when 144 patients were treated with very penetrat ing rays from a cobalt bomb (artificial radium) and from a 2,000,000-volt x-ray machine, some did much better than such patients used to do when treated with the usual 250,000-volt x ray machines. Forty-eight lived more than a year; 14 lived two years; four lived four years, and one is alive after five years. Some people may fail to see that this is enough improvement to get excited about, but I think it hopeful because it represents a big step forward. 'So You Want to Be A Doctor' To all those many young men who have written asking why they should be a physician and how they can start preparing for the course, I can recommend a fine book just out "So You Want To Be a Doctor" written by Dr. Alan E. Nourse (Harper's) In this book he gives all the information that a young man will want, such as what he shall study in his pre-medical college courses. Dr. Nourse says the cost of the eight years will be about $15, 000. He tells of the difficulties lAtt Dr firs! sm16 1 Kmtrltni Imentni Consultant In Mediclna, Mayo Clinic Emeritus Professor of Medicine. Mayo Foundation some men have in getting into a medical school, and then he gives a chapter on what is studied in each of the four years of techncal training. Finally, there is an article on the intern ship and perhaps a residency later. One of the most important parts of the book is the detailed information as to how to apply for entrance iiyto a medical school. There is much in the book to help a young men to de cide whether he really is fitted for medicine whether he has the necessary attitudes, liking for science, and aptitude for im portant subjects, such as chem istry and physics. No lad should go into medicine who hasn't had excellent marks in high school and college and who cannot study easily. Any man, if he is to do well in medicine, must be of the type who will keep study ing for the rest of his days.

Short, Salem, Saturday fired back at David Epps, Sweet Home Democrat, who criticized Short's proposed plan to schedule county Repub lican political conventions. "I will not accept advice re garding the operation and activi ties of the Republican party from an announced candidate for the chairmanship of the Democratic party," Short said. "Any atempt to discredit free and open Republican conventions as a 'return' to a system where by nominees are chosen in smoke-filled hotel rooms is pa tently ridiculous and does little credit to the speaker," Short con tinued. Short said the conventions were planned to let the people voice recommendations on party policies and to encourage strong candidates to file for office.
