(UPI Telcphoto) Oregonians Generally Support More Federal Aid to Schools Porlland-Oregonlans "feci strongly" about schools and how they are financed and generally support increased federal spending to aid educa tion. This is the conclusion reach ed In a recent public opinion survey conducted in Oregon by an independent polling agency for the legislative commission of the National Education association, in co operation with the Oregon Education association. Six out of 10 Oregon citi zens participating in the sur vey felt the federal contribu tion to public education should be increased from the present amount. At present the relationship of spending to support education on a na tionwide basis is: 54 cents lo cally, 42 cents from the stale, and 4 cents from the federal government. Fifty-four per cent of those polled felt this federal contribution was "too little," while only 3 per cent felt it was "too much." The survey was conducted by John F. Kraft, Inc., be tween May 2 and May 14 this year. A total of 421 citizens, all of them of voting age, were interviewed by the firm in compiling the survey. These individuals were se lected at random in counties in the state in proportion to the voting populations based on the 1056 presidential elec tion. Results are statistically accurntc within about 5 per centage points plus or minus. Questions covered a wide range of topics in relation to federal aid and those inter viewed were first asked to Identify the major problems they felt faced Oregon educa tion todny. A clear plurality saw the top problem as over crowding in the schools. Sec ond was what the report termed "the teacher plight." This was defined to mean low teacher salaries and acute teacher shortage. Many listed over-crowding as the second major problem. Thus a ma jority of all those polled con sidered this Oregon's most vexing immediate concern. Poll takers asked Oregon ians to identify the sources of school financial support before asking for an opinion on whether or not they felt this amount was adequate. Forty-eight per cent correctly listed local government as the primary source for school funds. Reversing the coin, those polled correctly listed the federal government as the agency which gives the least support. But, 56 per cent of those interviewed believed the amount of federal aid should be increased in varying amounts. Thirty per cent said a lot and 28 per cent 41 Businesses Sign lip For B-E Program A tola! of 41 business firms have so far signed up to parti cipate in the third annual Business-Education Day, H. D. Christenscn, chairman of the Medford Chamber of Com merce's educational commit tee, said today. The 41 business firms re quested a total of 2(i9 touchers, he said, and added that busi ness firms which have not yet indicated they will participate are asked to submit applica tion blanks. Christenscn said there is a total a 361 teachers who will take part in the program in which educators tour business firms and discuss problems facing business operations with the firm representatives , The program this year in volves a half a day with the schedule terminating at noon with a luncheon arranged by the business firm. The lunch eon will offer management an opportunity to discuss with teachers the economics of free enterprize. Business firms participating are expected to make the re turn visit Oct. 27, at which time business leaders will be guests of teachers to discuss Medford public school system and tour facilities. IlttJe. Only 1 per cent of those interviewed felt the present federal contribuation should be decreased. Results were consistent throughout Oregon to an ex tent that poll takers termed figures in Ihe four Congres sional districts as "remark able." In each of them the majority favored increased federal aid, ranging from 63 per cent in the third Con gressional district to 52 per cent in the fourth district. Both the first and second dis tricts recorded 58 per cent majorities. Asked why they see a need for an increase in federal aid, Oregonians cited a variety of reasons, iwcnty-rour per cent said stale and local eovcrn mums were already over burdened. Another 24 Der cent felt too much federal money was being spent over seas and not enough on edu cation at home. All of the replies pointed to a strong feeling that "something must be done," the report concluded." armory Thursday. So phenomenal has been the growth of the trailer coach manufacturing industry in the United States that production has jumped from 1,350 units valued at $1,300,000 in 1930 to an estimated 165,000 coach es with a total value of $909, 000,000 in I960. These figures were reveal ed by Warren Jones, president of the Trailer Coach associa tion, who was in Medford for the clinic. The trailer business is big business today - much bigger than commonly realized by the average citizen or bus iness man," Jones said. The value of the nation's more than 15,000 trailer parks rep resents a total investment ex ceeding $700,000,000, he said. "Some parks," he continued, "cost more than $1 million to construct. West Is Leader The west is a leader in all facets of the trailer business, according to Jones. One-third of all mobile homes built, he said, are produced in the 11 western slates. The mobile home popula tion of Oregon is among the fastest growing in the western stales, according to Jones. At present, Oregon has more than 450 trailer parks hous ing a mobile home population exceeding 50.000 persons. In addition, he pointed out, many thousands of Oregon ians are finding that the travel trailer provides an economical means for enjoying family vacations and outings. Almost four million persons in the United States now live in mobile homes, Jones stated, with one million of these lo cated in the western 11 states. "A statistic currently cciving much attention home," Jones said.
