MEDFORD. MAIL TRIBUNE. MEDFORD. ORE, THURSDAY. JUNE 23. 1960 In the Days News By FRANK JENKINS Pending in the congress in these final hectic days of the 1960 political campaign year session is a house bill to pro vide SI. 300, 000.000 (a billion, 300 million dollars) to be spent over a four-year period exclusively for school CON STRUCTION (no salaries to be included) and allocated to the states on the basis of each state's school-age population as determined by the 1960 Census. That is to say: r If the bill should become law, the federal government would chip in with the states on s match-monev basis to BUILD SCHOOLS." These fed eral match-money appropria tions are called Brants in nirl . They track back in theory to lS'.iG, when the federal crments discovered it had a 28 million dollar SURPLUS, with no pressing debts, and solved the problem of what to do with it by distributing it to the then 24 states , AUT of this precedent grew " a grants - in - aid program that in 1059 cost about six and a hall billion dollars. By 1961, it is expected to reach a total of about 7.1 billions. ' It started with public land gifts for endowment, support and maintenance of land grant colleges. The federal aid roads act came along in 1916. Public health grants in aid started in 1935. Among the more recent grants in aid is that for what is called urban renewal, under which the federal gov ernment contributes a part of the cost of tearing down old business and residential areas in towns and cities and build ing new ones in their place. The bulk of the growth in federal aid grants has come since 1930, when the total was only 107 million dollars. By 1940, it had grown to 645 millions. By 1950 it had reached a total of two and a quarter BILLIONS. By 1959, it had risen to six and a half billions. IET'S not say these things J are necessarily bad. They are not. The point to keep in mind Is that THEY DON'T COME FOR FREE. The money that pur kind old Uncle showers down on his children in the Itatcs doesn't grow on trees. It doesn't fall as manna from heaven. t It comes out of the POCK ETS OF THE TAXPAYERS as you are painfully aware if you scan carefully each week the DEDUCTIONS that are taken out of your paycheck for taxes - both federal and state. ii ffj I o,irv V 7 Amy ""ii I x" : y y rNv o' -Ir, - iwfr , w, r t vi I J i I w rt l, C 7 ' ,, - 4 If u WSflf tVfWWV1'' , II' I II II VvH"lir ' III TT'I 11)111 !

Sizes 82 to 11. denim. Sizes 3-14 GETTING back to this fed eral aid school construc tion bill ... Suppose your school dis trict needs a new school building. Suppose your won derful old Uncle come across 4nd tells you: "If you'll put up part of it, I LL PUT UP jHE REST." It will sound al most too good to be true. And- ' Asa matter of fact ; It IS too good to be true, for after having contributed to the building of the new school your district needs Un cle will REACH INTO YOUR POCKET and take out your share of the taxes needed to pay for his contribution. I 'HERE'S another curious angle to it. In this federal "gift" busi ness, Oregon gets off pretty well. For each dollar it re ceives in federal aid grants it pays back in the form of fed eral taxes only 88 cents. It's quite different in California where each dollar of federal aid COSTS $1.08. According to Tax Founda tion, Inc., grants in aid pay ments to Oregon in 1959 came to 36.2 million dollars and Oregon's share of the tax bur den resulting from these gifts came to only 31.9 millions. In the same fiscal year, Califor nia got only S356.2 million? in gifts and for these gifts lind to pay back to Uncle S384.9 millions in federal taxes. MEN'S ii !

Don't use the pruning shears too freely on peaches. That's the advice of John C. Cain, pomologist at the New York State Agricultural Experiment station at Cornell university. "The chief objective in pruning peaches should be to shape the tree for a strong framework. t limit Its height, and at the same time to pre serve as much leaf area as possible." Cain said.
