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.
