Newspaper Page TextMAIL TWIUNI. Medferd, Or. A Thursday. April . l'0 Interim Committee To Discuss School Transportation Portland - Gas tax refunds tn school districts, itate pur chae of ichool buses, and sim plification of the stat pro gram for transportation aid are among the items which will be discussed by the legis lative Interim committee on education at a meeting here Friday and Saturday, accord ins to Sen. Ward H. Cook committee chairman. The meeting will be In the Port land state office buucung The committee will also consider the fiscal Impact of the possible development of community college districts under an act passed by the 1959 legislature, and con tinued need for state pro erams for the education of handicapped and mentally re tarded children. The committee will contin ue its discussion of a new for mula for the distribution of state basic school support funds. Under Discussion The committee, according to Cook, has had the subject under discussion for the past several months and antici pates reaching its decision on a new method of providing state aid by its July or August meeting. This early decision will allow legislators and the public an opportunity to de bate the merits of the commit tee proposal prior to the 1961 session of the legislature. During the past five years, school districts have pur chased a total of 829 school buses at a total cost of $6, 042,900. This is an average cost of $7,289. Sustantial sav ings to the local taxpayer could result from more effic ient purchasing of school buses, Cook said. A proposal before the last legislature to allow state pur chasing for local districts was Average Russian Works Longer To Buy food Supply Washington - (WO - The average Russian must work more than two hours longer now than be did in 1928 to earn enough to buy a week's supply of groceries, a govern ment study Indicates. The head of a Soviet family of four also must work far longer than his American counterpart to pay for food, clothing, cigarettes and even vodka, the study showed. "The Soviet workers' Utopia is not all that the Communists would have the world be lieve," Secretary of Labor James P. Mitchell said In re leasing the report by the bureau of labor statistics. About 40 Cents an Hour "The study shows that the average worker in the U.S. S R. had to work about 8 per cent longer In August, 19S9 than in April, 1928 to buy a week's supply of the seven basic foods most Important In his diet - bread, potatoes, beef, butter, eggs, milk and sugar." A Russian workman, aver aging four rubles (about 40 cents) an hour, would have to labor 9 minutes to buy a loaf of rye bread, 82 minutes for a pound of roast beef, 84 min utes for a pound of sugar and 2 hours and 24 minutes for a dozen eggs, the bureau said The American, in contrast, could buy all those commodi ties with the wages he receiv ed for less than 48 minutes' work, the study said. 6!4 Hours for Vodka It takes the average Russian about 6V4 hours to earn enough for a pint of vodka, Russia's national drink. An American worker however, could buy the same bottle with the wages he received for 1VJ hours on the Job. Despite these unfavorable comparisons, the report said purchasing power of Soviet workers has been Increasing steadily In recent years be cause of rising wages. Below High Point "However, real earnings of the average worker in the Soviet Union In terms of food buying power, are still below the nigh point In the Soviet level of living reached in 1928," the report added. A Russian with a wife and two children would have had to work 28.40 h-urs to buy enough of the seven basic foods for his family In 1959. This compares with 38.17 hours in 1093 and 28. 17 hours in 1028. To keep down the high cost of groceries, about two out of every five Soviet workers (row their own vegetables or fruit in backyard gardens, the report taid. Unskilled Russian factory workers receive about $27 to $50 a month,- roughly,, and plant managers there earn bout $300 to $1,000 a month. defeated, however, largely be cause of the opposition of lo cal businesses which current ly sell to local schools.

Milky Way Said To Be II to 15 Billion Years Old Pittsburgh (Science Service) -The Milky Way galaxy in which the sun and its planets are located is from 11 to 15 billion years old, two astrono mers told the American As tronomical Society meeting here. Drs. William A. Fowler and Fred Hoyle of California In stitute of Technology said the choice of an age for the Milky Way depended on the way in which the solar sys tem and the rest of the galaxy was formed. Basis of either age is the radioactive decay of uranium and thorium, also used to date geological events on earth. The age of the Milky Way about 15 billion years if the galaxy from Us origin has been independent, with no important additions of mate rial from intergalactic space since its formation. Within the galaxy, the formation of stars has declined at a steady rate over the Milky Way s lifetime. Errors in this meth od could make the age as old as 20 billion years or as little as 12 billion years. Age Calculated The Milky Way's age is some 11 billion years if mat ter Is being continuously cre ated, the two astronomers re ported. Thla is Its age .they calculated, if the abundance of elements In Intergalactic mat ter has reached a steady state through interchange with galaxies in which stars are producing elements heavier than hydrogen. From this point of view, the Milky Way has picked up significant quantles of intergalactic ma terial at various times. This acquiring of material, in this view, occurred particu larly about a billion years ago, before the sun and solar system were formed. Errors in the 11-billion age calculated on this basis could be as little as plus or minus two billion years.

Her ciuie College Greduelei Now Hiving More Children For yeare, thoughtful per sons have worried because it looked ai if the children of the future were likely to be born mainly to the more ig norant half of the population. People In the slums, who have little concern as to whether their children later, will get in education, often have a child a year, while people with a college train ing who want children to be well- educa ted, if they live on a do not dare is Dr Alvares small Income, have more than a child or two. Now, in a study of the fertility of college graduates, made by the Population Ref erence Bureau of Washington, D.C., I see that in the last 15 years there has been a ten dency for college graduates to marry at a somewhat younger age, and to have, on an average, two children per mother. The figures for 1946 show families averaging twice the size of those for graduates in 1936. It is true that oc casionally a remarkable sci entist is born to uneducated people in very humble cir cumstances, but if one will study hundreds of the brief biographies in "Who s Who in America," one will find that a high percentage of our most able and distinguished citizens had well-educated parents.

'tree planting season" here, now under way.) CRAB APPLE, CHERRY Two beautiful spring-flow ering trees are the crab apple and th. cherry. Laden with flowers, they end a touch of wonder to a garden, park, or a street lined with these trees. Just one flowering crab apple or flowering cherry will provide a spot of color so delicate that it will be one of the important events of the garden year. The crab apple grows into a symmetrical tree 10 to IS feet tall. Most are masses of bloom lust after the leaves start, and as the blossoms fall the delicate lea .es bring out the rich green foliage, turn ing to bronze in autumn. They are unique to frame a low house or accent the lawn. Some have a colorful fall fruit. The Bechtel crab (Malus icensis) Is the tree for Ashland st., and Rose at., (Fourth to Second sts) set 40 to SO feet apart. The Hofa crab (Malus), will be used on Avocado, 40 to SO feet apart, and on Tucca St., SO to 60 feet apart. answer unless one knows a number of facts, perhaps most important of which is, how big the hernias are. If they are very large they may be hard to repair successfully; there may be too little muscle left. If the patient is young, and his hernias are in the groin (not due to a big abdominal op eration) and if the hernias are small, if there is no infection after the operation, and if th. surgeon did a good job of bringing the muscle layers to gether, the results should be excellent. As I have said be fore in this column, the young man who has tn Hn h.,j .w. leal work should get his rup- iures repaired as soon as they form. There is mil. .n.. this waiting.

The small whit, flow er, about the size of quarter, look like miniature rosea and cover the whole tree, resembl ing a huge pile of snow. No prXining is necessary to make the form. Cherries should not be pruned. This tree is widely used and cherished in England and Holland. Belmont st. will use th. Mazzard Cherry, planting 40 to SO feet apart. Th.

Dick Clark Linked To Payola Money Washlngton-OJfU-Rep. John B. Bennett (R-Mlch.) said to day that House investigators have made a "pretty convinc ing" case that television dlse jockey Dick Clark accepted payola. Bennett, ranking Republi. can on the investigating sub committee, a a 1 d testimony heard in public and private so far showed the teen-ag. idol was involved in payolaf "the same as many other disc jockeys but on a much larger scale." The subcommittee sched uled closed-door questioning today of Bernard Lowe, a song writer, music publisher, and record manufacturer, and Harry Chipetz, of th. Chips Distributing Co. Both petitioned to b. heard in private under a House rul. which provides for closed ses sions when testimony may tend to defame, degrade or incriminate anyone. Sheriff Directed To Body of Man San Jose, Calif, -mm- Th. Santa Clara county sheriff's office received a letter Wed nesday telling deputies to in vestigate "the station wagon abandoned above Almaden dam and you will find th. owner straight down th. hill." When officers found the ve hicle, a note was pinned on the sun visor. It said: "Cor rection: uphill." About 1,000 yards up th. hill they found the body of George Martindale, 44, of Sarasota. He had been ahot in the head with a rifl. that lay nearby. Also beside the body was a third note, which said: "Sorry to have mad. you climb way up her.."
