with homework.)
Washington, D. C. - When
school comes, can homework
be far behind?
It's a wise parent who pre
pares himself - and his child
tor a school year that will
surely iclude much work at
home designed to supplement
and broaden work done in the
classroom.
Unfortunately, says the Na
tional Education association,
homework (kind, amount, fre
quency) too often is a fight
ing word to some parents.
One mother says she "curs
es the day Sputnik flew."
(She thinks her son is being
overloaded with homework.)
Another wants "my children
to have .home work at least
once a week so I can check
their lessons and see how
they're doing." A third' (after
struggling for an entire week

chart of the heavens) wonders

Survivors of Bomb
Dedicated Disciples
Of Permanent Peace
Hiroshima- (UPD -This city
is dedicated to peace. Its citi
zens are disciples of peace.
Fifteen years ago, 78,150
lives were snuffed out by an
atom bomb, four square miles
of the city were left in ashes.
In addition, there were 37,
423 persons injured and 13,
083 missing. Forty-two hos
pitals were destroyed, 6,820
buildings demolished and 3,
750 more badly damaged.
The city reeled from the
devastating blow. But it re
covered. Survivors and newcomers
to the city got busy, cleared
the rubble and built homes,
office buildings, schools, new
roads and numerous modern
shops.
It is, therefore, natural that
Hiroshima, which bears the
naked distinction of the first
city to be atom bombed,
should stand solidly for peace.
Want Real Peace
Fifteen years after the
bomb, Prof. Hiroshige Yo
shida of Hiroshima Univer
sity summed up his feelings
this way:
"We want real peace, not
relative peace. We want abso
lute peace so that all arma
ments can be cancelled some
day.
"All people in Asia are
looking forward to this con
dition in the future. If we
discontinue all weapons we
can hope for world peace."
Foreigners visiting Hiro
shima are also concerned
about peace.
Hugh Jennings of Brisbane,
Australia, emerged from the
atomic bomb museum with
his wife and told a reporter:
"This brings it home to you
uncensored. How horrible."
William Dilworth, New Or
leans, La., said: "I don't think
a pilgrimage to Hiroshima
is necessary to undersand the
horror of atomic warfare."
Reds Capture Council
He added that the "most
shocking thing here is that
thousands of children and
non-combatants were vic
tims." It was no accident that a
peace movement developed in
Japan known as the Council
Against the Atomic and Hy
drogen Bombs. Until this year
the council helds its annual
August conference in Hiro
shima. But the Communists
were quick to capture con
trol of the council and this
year the city and prefectual
governments washed their
hands of the whole affair.
The council, therefore, sched
uled its meetings in Tokyo.
The memorial services in
Hiroshima were thus assured
of being non-political.

Should Be
efited by this homework; and
a fourth confesses, "We want
to help with homework, but
we're afraid to!" '
Most Favor Homework
If you're like most parents,
however, you favor home
work, provided it's reasonable
in amount, geared to your
child's abilities, really teaches
him something, and is of a
type that doesn't throw the
whole household into a tizzy.
Most schools take these
points into account, according
to the National Education as
sociation. You'll- find teachers
assigning children original
research projects perhaps to
answer questions that come
up and can't be answered in
busy class time.
As one third-grade teacher
said, "Research of this' kind is
like a game. We have Acquired
information on v everything
from kraals and cantilevered
porches to butter molds and
grinding stones. When a child
turns up a bit of hard-to-find
information and brings it to
class, we all beam."
.Jim

Extension
of Child
Another frequent kind of
assignment for the child is to
collect information from you
and the rest of the family.
For example, one teacher
asked the class to bring to
school a list of all their fam
ily's arithmetic problems for
one week (parents' eyes were
opened on this one they
didn't realize how much arith
metic they used every day).
Third Kind Noted
A third kind of homework
turns up when children work
ing on creative, writipg . or
written reports want more
time than they! have in class
to elaborate oivor revise their
effort.-."'-..
In ? other '"'words,.' most
schools feel that .homework
should be an extension, not of
the school day, but of, learn
ing activity, with assignments
that can be done better away
from school.
You can help by giving
your child a quiet corner that
can be his homework island
of peace and concentration.
You may need to be firm, too,
in eliminating some of the dis
tractins that interfere with
getting homework done in
cluding TV and little sisters.
And if you don't understand
the school's homework policy
and why you can help on
scrapbooks, but not on sub
traction go have a talk with
your child's teacher. She'll
be glad to explain.
Your car won't tell you it loves Super Shell in so many words, of course. But, we believe;
after you've driven a few miles on this remarkable gasoline you will begin to sense a
difference in your car's response. That's because TCPadditive in Super Shell neutralizes
the deposits which make engines run rough. And as the miles roll by, you'll discover
bow smooth your car can run- how far you can go on a gallon. Thaf s your car's way
of telling you it appreciates Shell. Your Shell dealer is the man to see.

Airlift Program
Medford would be one of
the cities affected if the Sen
ate approves a bill which
would prohibit the sending
of first class mail by airplane.
In recent years the postal
service has conducted as an
experiment the airlifting of
regular four-cent mail on a
"space available" basis to
speed delivery.
Medical Illustrating
Discussed Monday
The use of medical illustra
tions were discussed by Herb
Hunter, local medical illus
trator, at the Chamber of
Commerce round table yester
day. Next week, Everett Faber,
vice president of California,
Oregon Television, Inc., is
scheduled to tell what prog
ress is being made toward
getting cable television in the
valley.
Hunter, who was born in
England, told of many of his
World War II experiences to
illustrate the types of work
that he has done.
He said that one of the most
recent uses for medical illus
tration is in the field of law.
Lawyers who must describe
complex injuries to a jury
find that it is much easier
to do (this through a sketch
or drawing.
Hunter also had praise for
the medical men in' the Rogue
valley. This area . could be

OREGON, TUESDAY, AUGUST 9, I960 PAGES 1 to 8
The bill, approved July 2
by the House and expected
to come before the Senate
this month, would deprive
Postmaster general Arthur
E. Summerfield of the right
to move first class mail by
air even though it may be
the fastest means available
and in some cases, the only
means.
Medford Postmaster Moore
Hamilton reported that the
Medford office regularly dis
patches by air the four-cent
mail on a "space available"
basis to Portland, Seattle,
San Francisco and Los An
geles when it will speed de
livery. He added that regular
airmail always has priority
in the program.
Advance Delivery
Sending mail in this fashion,
Hamilton said, may advance
its delivery time as much as
24 hours.
The Medford post office air
lifts over 5,000 pieces of first
class mail on the average day
and receives by airlift 13.000
pieces daily, Hamilton said.
Summerfield an n o u n c ed
that more than 5,000,000
pieces of first class mail are
now being airlifted each day.
The Postmaster General
told the House post office and
civil service committee re
cently that "action which
would restrict the transporta
tion of first class mail to sur
face transportation would cre
ate a truly chaotic condition
at a time when the postal sys
tem is literally bursting at
the seams with a far greater
volume than ever before.
It was pointed out in one
of " the!: committee hearings
that 81' per cent of mail rev
enue for the railroads comes
from second .third, and fourth
class matter. The revenue
involved in the airlift pro
gram is about $3,000,000, or
less than one per cent of the
more than S350,000,000 that
the post office will pay the
railroads- in the coming year.
Other Oregon cities now
receiving benefits of the mail
airlift program are Bend,
