Hatfield Praises Oregon Colleges Salem (UPI) Secretary of State Mark Hatfield said today he was sorry to see the Pacific Coast Conference dis band but he congratulated Oregon and Oregon State for maintaining educational standards and refraining from "putting a moral price tax" on athletic competition. "Our Oregon institutions see their responsibility to turn out citizens, some of whom may also be athletes and they have recognized the emphasis that parents and indeed most taxpayers want in their edu cational facilities," Hatfield said. "We have played the game by the rule book. We have won consecutive Rose Bowl selections. And we have turned out men who can hold their heads high with self-respect," Hatfield continued. Hatfield is a former dean of students at Willamette Uni versity here. Silver Dollar Tips Being Given Out Silver dollar tips are now being given waitresses in res taurants of this area for pro motion of dairy products as part of the nationally ob served June Dairy Month, ac cording to George Holt, pub licity man for the Milk Pro ducers League. If a waitress voluntarily suggests milk to a customer and that customer happens to be a representative of the Milk Producers League, she will be given a silver dollar. If not, yie representative will leave her a small card which states: "Your next customer may be another silver . dollar tipper for suggesting milk. I was." . 11 The league has a total of $200. which it will use for the tips. Aim is to promote sale and consumption of ny Ik. in restaurants. Ceramic materials which the . usually brittle are being bent by a process now under development. A woman loses little face by not advancing professionally, but a man must bend all ef forts to forge ahead if he is .to be regarded as a successful man among men, and the kind of a husband a wife can be really proud of. .

Posey was principal speak er for the Kiwanis club's "Teacher Recognition Day." Twenty Medford and vicinity school teachers and two of ficers of future teacher or ganizations were special guests. Pointing to the role of tea chers in training others, Pos ey stated that education un derlies all the other profes sions. He asserted that teach ing is basic in preparation of of the leadership of this coun try and that "teachers have molded the character of our people and our nation." " The OEA official said, however, that the nation forgets this and that teachers have the job of building a great pro fessional as well as instruct ing students. Keep Pace Posey said that teachers as a group are determined to keep pace with other profes sions and gain .their rightful place in society. He brought out that, while teaching has a service, rather than mone tary, basis, salaries in the pro fession are lower than those in a number of other voca tions. He termed this disgrace ful, 'while not criticizing the other professions. In states where standards are high,: Posey mentioned, there is less of a shortage of teachers.- Mrs. Maxine Smith, Med ford, vice president of the OEA and president - elect, discussed the department of classroom teachers.

By DAYTON MOORE United Press International Washington (UPI) Back stairs at the White House: President Eisenhower's de cision to make more use of helicopters for short trips has raised new problems for White House newsmen. Their goal is to stay as close as pos sible to the President. But, with the exception of prac tice alert evacuations, White House reporters have gone ahead or behind by auto when the President has flown in a helicopter. Wednesday, however, a new system was tried. White House Press Secretary James' C. Hagerty arranged for a small number of newsmen, representing all news media on a pool basis, to go along with Secret Service agents in an escort helicopter for the President's trip to Ann apolis, Md. This could de velop into a regular proced ure. To Include British Tentative plans call for in cluding two or three British newsmen in such a helicopter pool to cover the President and British Prime Minister Harold Macmillan when they go to Baltimore " next week. Macmillan, who will be a White House' guest in the Macmillan is the second British Prime Minister with 'whom the President has a common hobby. With Sir Win ston Churchill, it is painting.

' If the match Is played, it should be close. Macmillan shoots in the low eighties, a few strokes better than Ei senhower's mid-eighties.
