Editor's note: This is the second

Jere Cox wrote that the college,
which trains leaders for war, is not
a place for cut-ups and hijinks but
a school where its students are ma

mission had just completed a
survey in which numerous
modernizations were recommended.
That was the first item of
business to cross his desk. A
year later, the college began
its annual course in Septem
ber with a completely rewrit
ten curriculum and many new
faces among the faculty. "Im
possible," said a civilian edu
cator. But true.
Biggest Problem
The biggest problem of this
army school, which takes ex
perienced officers and then
teaches them to be better, is
keeping up to date in this
nuclear age. "We are constant
ly planning five, 10 and 15
years ahead," McGarr said.
..-The. scholastic record at
Leavenworth is fantastic.
Only five of the more than
600 students flunked the
course last year and only four
xne year toetore. But we
shouldn't have any failures
considering the type of men
we have here," x McGarr said.
"But you have to figure the
human angles such as sickness
and family trouble."
In an attempt to skirt the
latter problem, Fort Leaven
worth, a city in itself, has a
recreation program "quite
honestly designed to keep the
kids out of daddy's hair." It's
traditional at each graduation
that wives also get a degree
in PHT, "Putting Hubby
Through."
Suicide Attempts Gone
In the 1930's the command
school was a two-year course
and there was a record of sui
cides or attempted suicides
when officers failed to quali
fy for the second year. But
there has been none in the
memory of the recent faculty
members.
"The only pressure on a
man is that he places him
self," a staff member explains.
"Our examinations are not to
find out how much he knows,
but to give him a chance to
make a decision."
McGarr said: "We teach
the men to think objectively
and to be military problem
solvers. We have found that
50 officers may come up with
50 different ways and 48 will
be successful.
The 262 faculty and staff
members at Fort Leavenworth
come from every field. The
college has a high priority on
personnel and can take al
most any man it wants. Dur
ing the year, the faculty looks
over the class for potential in
structors and places a "PI" on
a man's record so he can be
called back later if needed.
As an instructor says, there
is no "average day in the life
of a student." But, basically,
he works a five-day, 50-hour
week, six hours in the class
room and four in study.
Classes of 50 Men Each
He attends one three-hour
class in the morning and
another in the afternoon. The
classes are broken into 50
men each with work groups
of 12 to 14 men. A high per
centage of their learning
comes not out of a textbook,
but from what they teach each
other.
Great changes have come
over Fort Leavenworth since
Col Henry Leavenworth
founded it in 1827 to protect
the westward travelers on the
Santa Fe and Oregon trail.

Dun's Review devotes much
space in its current issue to
construction which it calls the
"pace setter for prosperity."
It quotes Nathaniel H. Rogg,
economist for the National As
sociation of Home Builders
on the two-house family:
Big Market Possible
"Many families in the up
per miacue income group,
with increased leisure, as well
as increased income, could
very well be in the market
for a seasonal home.
"In the last decade, these
seasonal homes have account
ed for about 50,000 units
yearly. There is good reason
to suspect that with the right
type of product this market
can, in the next ten years,
easily double in importance."
The Department of Labor in
its monthly Labor Review
says:
"A significant growth in
the number of two - house
families could develop, given
favorable economic condi
tions." Dun's Review suggests
keeping an eye on construc
tion as a leading indicator of
the health of the economy.
Here is another second that
comes up today a second
income.
A Second, Income
The most practical way for
the person of average means
to develop a meaningful "sec
ond income," is probably
through investing in good
quality common stocks on a
dollar-averaging basis, says A.
Rhett Du Pont, senior partner
of the firm.
"Although there is no guar
antee that common stocks
will continue to increase in
value," says Du Pont, "there
is general agreement that
over the long pull our econ
omy is one of growth and ex
pansion. "With this understanding,
assume that you start with a
common stock investment of
$5,000 and that you add to it
at the rate of $1,000 a year.
Within ten years the fund
you had built might well be
producing for you an income
of $100 a month or more.
"Within 20 years it might
produce perhaps $250 a
month." t
The firm notes in its study
that 15 years of dollar-aver
aging has been long enough
to offset the most unfavorable
timing encountered on the
New York Stock Exchange in
the last 40 years, including
the depression of the 1930s.
By proper selection of the
stocks best suited for an in
dividual investor's objectives,
it is pointed out, a program
can provide immediate in
come, or long-range growth
potentials, or whatever com
bination of these may be
found desirable.
Slafe Employees Discuss Wage Study
Grants Pass The wage
differential study and a schol
arship fund-raising program
were discussed at a meeting
of the Southwest Oregon
chapter, Oregon State Em
ployees association, at the
Grants Pass headquarters of
the state forestry department
Wednesday.
Letters were read from oth
er fire protection agencies
telling of their policies in giv
ing employees time off instead
of paying overtime. Answers
have yet to be received from
all agencies contacted.
Plans were made to conduct
a survey of hours worked dur
ing August and September by
state forestry employees in
the Southwest Oregon state
fire protection district. In
formation gathered by the
survey will be used with oth
er data in presenting the
wage differential proposal to
the general council of the
OSEA in November.
Acting on a request ' from
the state headquarters of
OSEA, jthe chapter decided to
hold an old-fashioned pie so
cial sometime this fall to
raise funds for scholarships
for children of OSEA members:

freshments completed the

Convict Labor in
Marion County Eyed
Salem (UPD Marion coun
ty jail inmates probably will
be' doing their time on county
roads and other public pro
jects, county officials said
Thursday.
An order has been present
ed to the county court which
would authorize convict labor
for public works projects.
County Judge Rex Hartley
said the order probably would
be signed by the first of next
week.
District .Attorney Hattie J.
Bratzel started a move sev
eral months ago to get prison
ers out of the county jail on
the fourth floor of the court
house which she termed a
"penthouse jail.'"
Plum trees can now be
freed of the "black knot" dis
ease that hampers growth and
reduces productivity. Plant
disease specialists advise the
prompt cutting out and burn
ing of all infected twigs and
branches. The trees should
also be sprayed with a mix
ture made up of three pounds
of copper sulfate in snow
form and six pounds of hyd
rated lime in 50 gallons of
water.
All problems, questions and
answers now have an atomic
keynote. But one thing re
mains traditional - turning
out superior leaders.
Perhaps the greatest tribute
to the U.S. Army Command
and General Staff school came
in World War II when virtual
ly all of the senior officers
of the Army were graduates
of Fort Leavenworth.
One of them had graduated
No. 1 from the school in 1926.
His name was Dwight D. Eisenhower.
