He said it has been suggested that the speech work program in the elementary schools and the festival be expanded to in clude more participants per school and to expand the pro gram to include two different age divisions. Is also has been suggested that the l!M0-(il I school year festival be held j earlier, in the year, probably between the winter and spring i sports activities. Introduced by Meyer I Meyer introduced speech J improvement as a facet of his plans for a curriculum inler J gralion program among schools of district 8 last fall, i with Lacy as consultant to advise principals and teachers I and to be available for work shop conferences to discuss school speech problems and any individual pupil speech difficulties. A treatise entitled "Speech Improvement Program" was compiled by Lacy and present- e;l to elementary teachers in the district. He prepared the jitl page syllabus on the sub ject with the advice of Dr. Kiit Montgomery, pro- lessor of speech at the Uni j versity of Oregon.

It was published through the cooperation of Warren Holbrook, district (j art supervisor. Lacy pointed out tl.e dan gers of limiting the scope and sequence on any skill subject such as speaking. He stated there arc six basic areas in which elementary school teachers may contribute to their pupils' speaking needs: talking and listening; phon etics, or articulation; improv ing fluency; voice improve ment; effective delivery; and speech correction. L a c y reminded teachers that the more complex prob lems .should be referred to clinics such as the one direct ed by Leon Mulling of South ern Oregon college. Help of fered by the state department speech consultant should also be utilized. Lacy said speech work helps to mold and develop the child. Riving him an oppor tunity to put his aptitude for oral expression to use. The child learns to think on his feet, and gains self confi dence. Among other things, he learns to lake notes and the value of research matcr '.:'.!. About !)0 per cent c;f 3 typical adult's activities are ntilied through his oral activity.

Out on a Limb By BOB WALTERS All Us Cats A while back we discussed fillers, those one-paragraph bits of miscellany used to fill out columns where the news stories fall a bit short. They're amusing, we think, because usually they have absolutely nothing lo do with the stories they follow. In the same vein are some of the small "box" advertise ments which appear in the paper several times during any given week. They're incongruous too but, if placed properly, they could add something to the factual reports of the news. Take, for instance, a lengthy yarn about the promises, charges and counter-charges made by a poll tician or a group of poli ticians. After scanning sev eral paragraphs of such a story (and they're certain ly plentiful right about now), most readers prob ably would agree with the placement of this, ad: "Gassy?" Or there might be a story, such as the UPI feature print ed in the Tribune a week or so ago, about life in San Fran cisco's beatnik colony. Like, it could go on and on about pads, the fuzz, squares and who needs people, man, and wind up with this; "All Us Cats Love Dr. Ross's Cat Food." Maybe an important story breaks and all the officials who know the real facts take refuge in "no com ment" replies and then tuck their heads back into their respective shells. An ad like this one following the story : might make them a little more talkative: I "Powerful New Plunger Clears Clogged . . ." Et cetera. Tile above, we'd like the advertising d e p a r tment to know, has been merely an attempt at jest and in no way implies that the Mail Tribune will adopt the suggestions. After all. we know where our bread is oleomargarined. Saw a curious sight on one of the local used car lots the other afternoon. A TV announcer was helping a car salesman move an auto into position for a photograph. But they were n't driving it. they were I pushing. After that, we thought the station might like to use this slogan lo climax its daily program schedule: "More people get their j lemons from this channel than from any other single source in southern Oregon." ... , On the other hand, though, we liked the one pulled off by a Medford disc jockey one j morning. "I did a favor for a friend once." said the deejay, "and he promised me he'd never ' forge! me ss long a; he lived. Sure enough, he meant It. "Last night he called to tell i 1 me he was in trouble again." Mrs. Nye to Speak At Talent Meeting Talent The Talent Wom en's club will hold its busi ness and social meeting at I 2 p.m. tomorrow in the Talent city hall Final plans will be made for guest day scheduled for June 7. Special speaker for the afternoon will be Mrs. Stephen G. (Eve) Nye, incum bent for state representative. She will speak on education. District chairman for the Ore gon Federation of Women's clubs also will be present. Cleanup Program Starts at Cemetery Gold Till-Cleanup week at the Rock Point cemetery north of Gold Hill will begin today and last through this Saturday. Mrs. A. A. Walker, chair man of the cemetery improve ment committee, said a gen eral cleanup is planned to clear all debris in preparation for Memorial Day. Anyone in terested is invited to partic ipate.
