O O MAIL TRIBUNE, MedforJ, Or. Wednesday, June 1, 1960 Out on a Limb Br BOB WALTERS Mail Call The mailbox bore a very strong resemblance yesterday to the large can in tne DacK yard. One contained just about as mucfy garbage as the other. First there was a bank statement, a document which didn't exactly make me break Into tears of joy. Then there was a "special" offer from a national magazine. They were offering a 97-year subscrip tion for only 15 cents, or something like that. A letter from a company wilier? manufactures car seat covers told what a wonderful buy they wereoThey even en closed a sample of the'amaz Ing" material, some sort of Diastic stuff. This particular firm seems to be of the neveM say-die school - that's thiy fourth sample they ve mailed to me, and I still haven'tore plled. o Why should I? A few more samples, and I'll make my own seat covers. All these letters could be (and were) tossed aside, but the last communication.made me sit up and take notice. It was a bill for $101.90 from a local tire company. Ac cording to the bill, I had pur chased on May 25 "four 800- 14 WSW General Tbls Pre mium" tires. It added kindly that I would be given a d count of $2.04 if I paid off by the 10th. It didn't say the 10th of what. Most people would have taken this in stride, but some how the bill unnerved me Mainly because I hadn't bought any tires. So I called the ffc-m and relayed the facts to one of the talesmen, an understanding gent who told me he knew the buyer personally and that the bill had bc-n mailed to the wrong Bob Walters. "Don't worry about it," he laughed. "Just tear up the bill If you'd like to." I assured him I would like very much to tear it up, and proceeded to do so. If he stayed on the line long enough, he may huve heard the first rip. There must be a mural there somewhere. Don't tread on me? United Press Internation al reported yesterday that 366 persons were killed in traffic accidents In the United States during the Memorial Day week end. That is an awesome total Indeed. But if you look at it from a positive angle, you Snay find It's not quito so fright ening, o After all, there were about 169,999.634 survivors. The Circle Thcntcr program aired by the locnl TV station last Wednesday night was well done from start to finish, but it contained at least one hu morous blooper. At the climax of a court room scerj, the judge, who had a relatively small part, looked sternly at the defend ant. "Louie Decker," he said, "I find you guilty of rarmed obbery." Murderers, kidnapers and enemy spies are bad enough, but it's those rarmed obbers you have to watch. They'll rami your obb be fore you know it. Society Editor Ogve Starcher thinks there's something missing in my psychological makeup be cause I don't share her pas sion for flowers. The other day she became so excited about it that she accused me of being the type of guy who squeezes hitoothpasle tube in the middle. That happens to be true, but I'd like to say in self defense that Mrs. S. alio has a quirk. She can't remember her phone number. BOB WALTEHS, Regional Editor CORRESPONDENTS!

Hemorrhoids Cured Painlessly By Non-Surgical Method The non-surgical, electronic method tor the treatment ol Hemorrhoids (Piles) devel- bv doctors at the Dean Clinic has been to successiul and permanent i nature that the following policy it offered their patients: "After all symp toms of Hemorrhoids . . . have subsided and the patient has been discharged, if he should havt a recurrence, all 4DVUTIIUJKHT ccives ninth graders from all District 6 schools, there should be specific minimum stand ards set up in all areas of the elementary and junior high curriculums. Therefore, work on writing activities and arith metics would be the start of ! uisinci curriculum aevcy:?,'i- three to five years to com plete. Teacher's Role Becaek.he curriculum is the sum total of classroom and school activities, it is shaped and made effective py the classroom teacher, ('ho plays a major role. Not only is the curriculum affected by the teacher but, in all probability, the clasroom eacher is the most important persoi(j)in the total curriculum study and improvement process. O Over-all curriculum plan ning, involving the selection of policies and paterns, should be done by joint action of teachers, principals and the superintendent, Meyer said. Teazling guides nd mater ials may be provided by many workers, but ultimately one person, the classroom teacher, must accept the responsibility for directing the learning of the student. Meyer said the curriculum is the link betwen the child and the educational iStSl'y of the school, and, normally, there icna cb,v.n?ntLdisagree or make recommendations in regard to the school's philos ophy and it's curriculum, pol icies, practices, and proced ures. This is necessary in plan nine anv rmrrinnliim stnHv hp. cause it is necessary to decidQ on the school's objectives, and then determine what learning experiences will best achieve these objectives. The exper ience for teaching and learn ing omust be organized and constant judging and evalua- t on is neccssarv to ascertain Qhether the objectives are at tained. Easy Formula The superintendent said the fornQila is easy but getting the formula into oj&ration is difficult. It is hoped that the objec tives taking in all areas could develop a group of citizens who would have civic compe tence, educational and mental development, social under standing, occupational effici ency, home loyalty, religious consciousness and leisure time opportunities. In the development of any curriculiuu, Meyer said there must be a definite philosophy and also objectives. After the meeting, teachers were assigned in designated groups according to grades with the following teachers appointed as chairmen: MrsJ ,uniiu ruuiv, in si Kiduu, mis. Marie Brannock, second grade; Mrs. Susan Ambrose', third grade; Mrs. Barbara Charles, fourth grade; Mrs. Wes Claflin, fifth grade; Mrs. Viola Laird, sixth grade; Mrs. Ruth Broomfield, seventh grade; and Waller Doherty, eight grade. Tentative Guides They were asked to start work in two areas, language arts and arithmcti". and in structed to write abiiut what they arc doing during the six weeks period in both of the mentioned areas. These are to be tentative guides before a (Ofinite course of study can be developed. These outlines will be used for a 3ial and error period. It was pointed out that during this period teachers might find that a more flexible time schedule for the several lessons or units within certain subject areas is necessary. Also it might be possible that too many unijj or lessons were included for a given sub ject or that the sequence of introducing should be altered. Teaching materials including films and books should be brought up to date with spe cific emphasis on the availa bility of materials. Meyer said the same basic materials, objfjtives and phil osophy in each grade and school throughout the district will be used. He said we must identify ourselves more with District 6 and less as individ ual schools. further treatments will be giv en absolutely IrefsL The Dean ClinV? has been serving the Northwest for fifty years.
