6 MAIL TRIBUNE, M.df.rd, Or. Sunday, Jan. 31, 1960 IPattras of District Building Program Would Meet State Recommendation Central Point Patrons of school district 6C, which in cludes Central Point, Gold Hill and Sams Valley, will vote Thursday, Feb. 4, on a $295,000 bond issue to help finance a building program. Polls will be open between 2 and 8 p.m. at three loca tions. They are the band room at Hanby gymnasium at Gold Hill, the auditorium of the Sams Valley school, and the gymnasium at Central Point Junior High school. Purpose of the district's $295,000 bond issue is to fi nance a building program that will adequately care for the educational needs of the children within the district, school board members noted. By meeting state standards n d recommendations, the district will continue to feel secure in its position as a re cipient of state education money which in recent years has contributed over 35 per cent of each year's operative budget, they pointed out. Long Range View Board members said the building program has a long range perspective in that it is correcting overcrowded con ditions by additions that can be flexible in use. To alleviate conditions at Central Point Junior High, which is overloaded with some 950 students, eight rooms will be added to Jew ett school. By doing this, members said, the pupils in the present second grade, which consists of six rooms, will be able to ii. f i remain at jeweu as mira graders instead of using fa cilities at the Central Point Junior High school building. One of the new rooms at the junior high will be used as a full time central library for the use of the 525 to 550 pupils who will attend the school. Remedial Room : The eighth room will be organized as a remedial room for primary children within the district who will profit by epecial education. The special education room will meet standards of the state depart ment of education, which will be mandatory for all first class districts by 1962. By moving the third grade to Jewett, the district will be able to improve the per pupil space allotment both in the classrooms and on the play ground, the board said. Pres ent state education standards for elementary school play grounds are a five-acre site with an additional acre far each 100 pupils. A total of 2,000 square feet of covered walkway will also be available as extra play space and for use as a physi cal education area. This will be especially useful during pe riods of inclement weather, board members said. y The proposed building pro gram for the Central Point Junior High will be to con vert the present library to a cafeteria. This conversion will correct the current lunch room situation. At present, 500 pupils are rushed through a cafeteria built to accommo date about 100. To continue an adequate li brary program, a new library 32x45 feet will be built adja cent to present library facili ties. This building will also Include a work area, audio visual room and have a cov ered walk.

Stamps iililll IN LIBRARY Students at Central Point Elementary and Junior High school now eat sack lunches in the present library facilities because of lack of room in the TRANSPORTED FOR LUNCH Shown above are pupils from Patrick school in Gold Hill returning to school follow ing lunch at Hanby school. Pupils have to be transported to Hanby for hot lunches, physical education classes requiring a gym floor and other school functions. Marvin Throne, near bus, music and physical education teacher at Hanby, is ac companying the children. ed and constructed that it will fit in easily with any future plans the board may consider for a new junior high school, board members noted. Plans for the Margaret E. Patrick school in Gold Hill include four new classrooms, three of which will house fourth and fifth grade pupils. The fourth room will be used as a central library in order to meet state education recom mendations. A multi-purpose room will be a part of the new addition. This will be complete with a cafeteria and stage, and will have many school and com munity uses, the board said. The room will eliminate the continuous transportation of pupils to Hanby for hot lunches, physical education classes requiring a gym floor and other school functions re quiring an activity room. By moving the fourth and fifth grades to Patrick, there will be a room for the addi tional eighth grade needed in the 1960-61 school year. It also will give Hanby a room for a central library, which will meet state department requirements. Board members feel that the addition at Patrick will adequately care for the prob able evenutal increase in school population at Gold Hill, which will make neces sary two classrooms for each grade.

Co. n n n n m $22 Billion Taken From Public Yearly Washington (UPD FBI Di rector J. Edgar Hoover charg- ed Friday that the "barons of the underworld" loot the na tion to the tune of an "as tounding" 22 billion dollars a year. Hoover said organized crime was made up of a "law less legion" of extortionists, strong-arm hoodlums and spe-. cial racketeers "whose greed reaches into every communi ty of our land." Hoover said "the lawless legion infiltrates t h r o u gh every loophole, its booty flow ing into underworld coffers whether it be nickels and dimes from a juke box in a bar in the smallest town or from a multi - million dollar stranglehold on large metro politan centers, obtained through the domination of a few dishonest labor officials." "If we must," Hoover said, "let us learn a lesson from the barons of the underworld who have shown that cooperative i crime is profitable - coopera- j tive law enforcement can be twice as effective." there are two major consider ations. They are the educa tional needs of the children and the meeting of state standards in order that dis trict 6C will be assured of state department monetary aid. RECEIVE Calorfoi BMklet FREE.

Officer Glenn F. Schneider, who was on routine patrol, discovered the attempted bur glary at 2 a.m. Thursday when he noticed a door to the store that looked as if someone had tried to break it open. He called for assistance from city and county officers who searched the area and found that someone ha failed to break through the door but had broken a window at the side of the building and gone in that way. In addition to the safe the burglar or burglars also tried to break into a cash register, a soft drink machine and a desk drawer, but failed in each attempt and apparently left empty handed, police said. Police said the burglars used screwdrivers to try to get into the safe and said the attempt appeared to have been made by youths or amateurs. HELP US!
