Bristol Speaker at Grants Pass Lights on for Education Meeting Grants Pass - Faye Bristol, ; former representative to the state legislature, was the main ." speaker at the "Lights on for I Education" program spon l sored by the Grants Pass High school PTSA Tuesday, Jan. 3. " He made use of his exper ience as a legislator and mem- ber of several committees on education to explain the basic : school support system and the ; method of equalization per student from state funds, '. pointing out that Josephine . county was the recipient of the largest amount of "equali- zation" funds in the state due to its being classified as a "poor" county. A bill to change this method " of equalizing the amounts given and substitute instead - a flat grant to counties, re : gardless of particular need, - has gone through the neees- - sary committee channels and . will come before the leglsla ; lure in some form this session. I He pointed out that unless 1 some other source of revenue Is found, such as a sales tax, 2 this would probably mean that the extra amount of " money needed to run the schools in the county would . have to come from increased " property taxes. He emphasized the Import- - ance of writing to representa ' lives to make feelings known '.: on these matters, but stressed that unless a letter had some Tablets - Table Rock - The Table -Rock non-denominational Sun . day school held their annual election of officers at last Sun - day's session. The majority of " officers will keep their posts. 'The one new officer is Mrs . Bert Pierce, elected assistant secretary-treasurer. - Officers for the year 1D81 - are Mrs. R. E. Nealon, super- "intendent; Mrs. Ray Doran, -assistant superintendent; Mrs. Alan Fleischer, secretary- treasurer, and Mrs. Bert .Pierce, assistant secretary ,: treasurer. Teachers, pianist "and song leader will be ap- pointed later. We note In the Western "Livestock Journal that we "will have 27 million more -people to feed by 1970. So -Ben Day's prediction made ;to Sams Valley Grangers after ;the close of World War H -may come to pass sometime 'In the future. He said farmers would never again be plagued with crop surpluses and from now on their problem would be the growing of food for -the ever increasing popula--tion.

Notices of re-appraisals of property in school District -6C from the assessor's office paused quite a little concern Jiere among farmers who in ;6ome cases found the assessed -value of their property was Jncrensed. However, If this In crease Is general over t h e county, a lower mlllaRc levy .would raise tne necessary lunds to meet all require ments. In appraising farm Jands It would seem only rea sonable to take into consider ation the prices farmers get ior the produce grown on these acres. : A long and Interesting let ter from Dan Sage, of Hay ward, Calif., was received re cently by relatives here tell ing of the Sage family's do ings during the past year and Improvements and new enter prises In the county of Hay ward. Dan says the popula tion is Increasing so fast that it is frightening. He says they read the Tablets and find them lots of fun, except for Doris (his wife) who finds Ihcm too nostalgia provoking for comfort. Whatever that means. Marvu Goodlin, Robert Grant and Carl Morgan vii - ited with friends here laii ; Wedneiday. All were for- mer residents of this com . munlty. Grant and Morgan . now live in the Central Point area. Goodlin lives In Corcoran, Calif,, where he .it in the building and house moving butineit. He and hit wife and niece, Mitt 'Edith McDonald, ipent tev- constructive suggestion in it as to ways and means to help raise extra funds, it would serve no purpose other than to inform the legislator of what he already knew, name ly, that property owners did not want increased taxes. Most Important Ralph E. Jones, superin tendent of city schools and legislative chairman of the high school PTSA, explained in introducing Bristol, that in his opinion the tax picture was the one legislative mea sure pertaining most vitally to this area. He suggested that any questions on any of the numerous other measures per taining to education which are now pending, such Saturday school sessions, speed of school busses on the highways, laws regulating dis tribution of obscene litcra lure, etc., be directed either to him, to Frank Thomas, high school principal, or to Mrs. R. J. Millemann, PTSA president, all of whom had received pamphlets on the measures as part of the state wide "Lights on for Educa Hon" drive. At the close of Bristol's talk, Mrs. Millemann conduct ed a brief business meeting of the PTSA, and then turned the program over to Thomas who Introduced a three-member panel to speak on various By R.

Goodlin't beet, not ed for their stinging quali ties, are ttill here, but are for tale, Last Sunday we met In a popular Medford filling sta tion, Stuart Porter, a resident here some 55 years ago. While reminiscing over old times, he remarked that there was something radically wrong with his memory. Said he could remember things that happened 40 or 50 years ago, but couldn't remember hap penings a week or two back. We had just been wondering if anyone else was afflicted that way. We must be slipping. A few weeks ago in the Tablets we over-guessed a lady's age, and In our last week column we renamed a county road ac cording to Mrs. Don Wheeler, who has informed us in no uncertain terms that the road we called the gravel road Is the Wheeler road and has a sign at each end informing travelers of the fact. Arthur Brown, state Grange deputy, used to say that a woman is as old as she looks and a man is old when he quits looking. So It seems that wo had better take a better look before guessing ages and look for signs before naming roads. We have found that it Is good logic to under guess a woman's age, If you don't know what it Is. Temperatures here went to a new low for the winter Monday night. Thermometers registered between 11 and 12 degrees, causing damage to water systems, car radiators batteries and some stored pro duce. For our New Year's ret olutlont we resolve to make none that we know we will break, and tince worry nev er does any good, we re solve to quit that which may cauie ut tome worry, thorten our argument!, be tolerant to those we think are Intolerant, be patient and keep our tense of hu mor. It hat never yet got ut into any teriout trouble. We will tell the little wom an once in a while we love her. and if the llket ut bet ter in a white ihlrt, we will try to wear one. if the will button it up. We will quit laying all the mittaket in thit column to Bettie, but divide them between yourt truly and John Stafford. And we resolve to try and be more cheerful and pleat ant. We noticed a message on a blackboard in a Medford store telling clerks to smile and be pleasant and cheerful to customers. "They will like It and we like customers." Go ing Into the store a lady clerk smiled and urteted us with n HmiTv hnlln UImn tun l.lrf , , j, ... , her we knew why she did this, siie said "Whn tnlrl vnn?M : ai e saio, wno tola you7 Then we told her we had peeked at the hlnrkhnnrrl In , 1 1 back aisle. phases of the sophomore year in high school. Mrs. Robert Chamberlain, member of the American Field Service chapter in Grants Pass, gave a brief his tory of the foreign exchange student program and the sum mer Americans Abroad pro gram in which the school is eligible to participate. Since students become eligible to apply for the summer pro gram in their junior year of high school and are suddenly confronted with the expense personally involved, it was felt that by speaking about the program to parents of sophomores, some thinking and planning on their part might be done before the op portunity is missed. Mrs. Chamberlain explained that to qualify for students to be sent aboard on the summer program, a chapter must have a foreign exchange student living in the area with a fam ily for the school year. This year Franca Margini, a stu dent from Italy, is living 'in the Chamberlain home and attending classes as a senior at Grants Pass High school Clubs and Activities Miss Bertha Calhoun, dean of girls, spoke of the many and varied clubs and activities available for students at the high school and urged parents to encourage their children to become active in at least one club. She stressed, however, that they should become a really active participant in the club's activities rather than just an onlooker and thus learn to take their share of responsibility. Howard Harrison, senior English teacher and college guidance consultant, explain ed the various tests which are available on an entirely vol untary basis and for which the students must sign up In ad vance. While most of these national tests are given on a junior and senior level, there are a few given to sophomores and Harrison explained the value of the student's taking as many of the tests as pos sible In an effort to find out for himself his aptitudes as well as the areas in which he needs to work to improve him self to be better prepared for the college board examina tions now required by so many colleges.
