r V Model Social Studies Classroom Is Planned Ashland Social studies teachers in Jackson, Josephine and Klamath counties have been contributing ideas for a model social studies classroom to Dr. Alva Graham, profes sor of education, to be incor porated in the plans of the projected new Social Science building on the Southern Ore gon college campus. Upon legislative approval, erection of the building would begin in 1960, Dr. Graham said, adding that an outstanding feature of the structure would be the dem onstration social studies class room based upon the ideas submitted by the teachers. "Suggestions received from classroom teachers thus far," Dr. Graham said, "indicate that the classroom should be a laboratory for citizenship training activities providing for variety and flexibility rather than the traditionally formal room reserved for lec tures and recitations." Other Features Other recommended fea tures listed include adequate space; direct access to the out side; pastel colors; indirect lighting and accoustical treat ment; extensive bulletin boards; sufficient window space and draw curtains; elec trical outlets and work area with a sink; a book corner; magazine racks and a display area; many audio-visual aids and materials; and a partition ed area for committee work. Materials recommended as listed by Dr. Graham includ ed several kinds of globes and many maps; copies of import ant documents; selected news papers and magazines; and current pamphlets. "Teachers who contributed ideas," Dr. Graham concluded, "seemed to believe that with out lessening the great im portance of the teacher, a desirable environment for learning in the social studies was an important factor in achieving the objections of knowledge and understanding as well as developing the in terests, attitudes, and abilities so badly needed in our coun try today." Bang's Disease Funds Expanded Salem - An additional $20, 000 in brucellosis funds for use in Oregon between now and next July 1 has been au thorized by the federal gov ernment. This will bring to 5350,000 the total federal money ear marked for the brucellosis program here during the cur rent fiscal year. With state moneys available, well over a half million dollars will be expended in Oregon between July 1, 1958 and June 30, 1959, in the stepped up pro gram to certify the entire state. Word of the additional fed eral money came to Dr. A. G. Beagle, federal veterinarian in charge in Oregon, and Dr. L. E. Bodenweiser, state vet erinarian, from Dr. E. E.

S. farm debt out standing on Jan. 1, exclusive of obligations owed to the Commodity Credit Corora tion, was approximately 6.4 per cent above the same date a year earlier, but for every $1 of indebtedness there was $10 in farm assets, C. D. Putz, regional manager of the Fed eral Land Bank of Spokane, told the annual meeting of the Southern Oregon National Farm Loan association of Medford. "This is the same debt-asset ratio recorded on Jan. 1, 1958," he continued. "Back in 1940 there was $2 of in debtedness to each $10 of assets." Report on Operations Reporting on operations of the land bank, for which the Southern Oregon NFLA makes and services loans, Putz said new loans closed during 1958 totaled $38,000,- 000, a new all-time high. Total farm mortgage re cordings in the four states served by the bank increased 3.8 per cent during the first nine months of last year com pared to the corresponding period in 1957. Land Bank recordings were up 9 per cent, he said. The bank's outstanding loan account on Dec. 31, 1958, reached $158,817,000, also a. new all-time high. The bank's capital, completely owned by 65 NFLA's in Idaho, Montana, Oregon, and Washington, stood at $8,9?1,000 at the year's end, and its surplus and reserves totaled S15.864, 496, including $2t304,228 in reserves for losses, Putz said. During 1958 a 4 per cent dividend, totaling $353,000, was paid to the 65 NFLA's. Most of this money, according to Putz, is passed on to asso ciation members.' !-' A'fy ; 1 Here ' I m ' s news.'

In the case of the Southern Oregon NFLA the total amount received was passed on as dividends to its mem bers. This is the 14th consecu tive dividend since the bank resumed payment of divi dends in 1945 and brings to $3,896,695 the total paid in dividends since that date, Putz said. The meeting was held Wednesday in the Gold Hill Grange hall and was attend ed by 125 farmer and rancher members of the association from Jackson and Josephine counties, the area which the association serves. . The theme of the meeting was the Oregon Centennial, and Delmar L. Smith of Cen tral Point talked on the early history and development of Oregon and of Jackson coun ty. . F. E. Bowman, NFLA sec retary-treasurer, told the group that the association made 29 loans, for $361,300 during 1958, an increase of $216,200 over the preceding year. This represents an in crease of 149 per cent over 1957 and is indicative of the increased demand for long term credit to consolidate short-term, high-interest in debtedness or to meet in creased operating costs. Bigham Reelected Association members re elected J. W. Bigham of Eagle Point to a three-year term on the board of directors. Holdover directors are' A. E. Stevens of Phoenix, William C. Higinbotham of Central Point, A. L. Straus of Gold Hill, and O. H. Roundtree of Williams. - - Music during the registra tion hour was provided by James L.. Foster, of Foster's Pharmacy on his 75-year-old gramophone. Several of the members came attired in costumes rep resenting the era of 100 years ago, and prizes for the best costumes went to Mrs. Everett L. Brown of Central Point and C. W. McDonough of Gold Hill. Door prize was won by Glenn Chase of Gold Hill, and prize for. the member living on the oldest family farm went to C. W. Dugan of Cen tral Point, whose farm has been in his family sinqe 1862. Scrapie Diagnosis Now Confirmed Salem Confirmation of a positive diagnosis of scrapie in a single ewe in a 50-head flock of grade sheep in the Tidewater area of Lincoln county was received by the state department of agricul ture. Federal and state officials have the matter under control and are currently tracing all movements of this flock over a period of time, according to Drs. O. J. Halverson, USDA, and Maurice R. Woulfe, SDA, who made the original diag nosis and have had the flock under observation since No vember. Both the Oregon diagnostic laboratory at Corvallis, and the USDA's animal disease eradication division labora tory at Ames, Iowa, confirmed presence of the disease. Oregon has had no threat of scrapie since the 1957 erad ication program, though flocks from which animals were removed then are still inspected routinely. No treatment is known for scrapie, a disease which ap parently came into Oregon in importations from England, and which is particularly in sidious because of its long in cubation period. In 1957, Oregon paid $50, 193.63 in indemnities on 1,713 head of sheep slaughtered to eradicate the virus-caused di sease and the federal govern ment paid similar indemnities. Humorous Books Top Request List At Public Library Many patrons of the Jack son County library were ap parently looking for a good laugh in 1958 as an antidote to depressing headlines and day-to-day news of world crisis, according to Librarian Helen Webster. Three humorous books, Abi gail Van Buren's "Dear Ab by," Jean Kerr's "Please Don't Eat the Daisies," and Farley M o w a t's "The Dog Who Wouldn't Be," were the most frequently requested titles at the library last year. There were long waiting lists during the year for all three books, the librarian said, although the Kerr book was actually published in 1957. Also asked for frequently were "Baa Baa Black Sheep," by Pappy Boyington; "Mas ters of Deceit," by J. Edgar Hoover; "Aku Aku," by Thor Heyerdahl; "Inside Russia To day," by John Gunther; "To Live Again," by Catherine Marshall; "The Affluent So ciety," by John Galbraith; and "The Arctic Year," by Peter Freuchen. Lead Fiction List Leading the library's fiction list was John Voelker's "An atomy of a Murder," a fasci nating analysis of the defense of a man who had taken the life of another. Close in pop ularity were Patrick Dennis' "Around the World with Auntie Mame" and Russian author Boris Pasternak's "Doc tor Zhivago." Requests were also frequent for Elizabeth Goudge's "The White Witch," Howard Spring's "Time and the Hour," Anya Seton's "The Winthrop Woman," Sloan W i 1 s o n's "Summer Place," Edna Fer ber's "Ice Palace," Frances Parkington Keyes' "Victo rine" and John P. Marquand's "Women and Thomas Har row." "Please Don't Eat the Dais ies" and "Doctor Zhivago" are still leading all other titles in the number of requests on file, with Nabokov's contro versial "Lolita" in third place. "Small Woman," from which was derived the motion pic ture "The Inn of the Sixth Happiness," "Far Eastern Epi cure," and "Sewing the Easy Way," are also frequently requested. MAIL TRIBUNE, Medford, Oregon, Thursday, January 29, 1959 SA Cruising Short Course Scheduled Corvallis A variable plot cruising short course will be held at the Oregon State col lege school of forestry Feb. 26 and 27.
