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

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

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. Saul

Farm Debt Discussed by Federal
Land Bank Regional Manager
Total U. 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.'

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

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.

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. Dr. J. R. Dilworth,
head of the forest manage
ment department, will be in
charge.

scheduled to allow practicing
foresters to learn about the
new cruising method that re
duces errors and speeds field
work.. The new method, some
times called wedge cruising,
was developed in Europe-and
introduced into the United
States. It has been field tested
in both Douglas fir and pine
timber types during the last
two years with excellent re
sults, Dilworth said.
This is the fifth variable
plot cruising short course con
ducted by the school of for
estry. Instructors for this
course will include Dilworth
and J. T. Krygier of of the
forest management depart?
ment; L. B. Alexander of the
