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

'The one new officer is Mrs

secretary-treasurer.
- Officers for the year 1D81
- are Mrs. R. E. Nealon, super-
"intendent; Mrs. Ray Doran,

pointed later.

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

the PTSA, and then turned

valley. 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

We will tell the little wom

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

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.

called to the home of Robert
Cowden on South C st. about
9:30 a.m. Thursday to extin

which was evidently started
by electrical wiring.
Mrs. Cowden said that she
had just left the kitchen when
she started smelling smoke
and returned to find the drain

fee pot was burning and still
contained coffee. This is the
third fire they have had since
buying the home a little over
a year ago.
Mrs. Cowden said that they
were going to have the wiring
checked immediately. The fire
was limited to the draining
boards and minor smoke dam

Seasonal Traffic
Shows An Increase
Hornbrook - Seasonal traf
fic checked through the local
quarantine station of the Cali
fornia department of agricul
ture showed an increase over
the same period a year ago,
with a total of 39,253 vehicles
being inspected for the month
of December.
The heaviest day was Dec.
26, when 2,910 passenger ve
hicles plus 79 trucks and 26
stages were checked. Each of
the four days after Christmas
averaged more than 2,000 ve
hicles per day. Second heav
iest count fell on Dec. 23 -2,533
passenger vehicles and
60 trucks and 30 stages.
New Year's day showed a
sharp drop in traffic with a
count of only 1,336 plus 45
trucks and 19 stages. Besides
the two holidays, the East
West and Rose Bowl football
games accounts for much of
the traffic from Washington
and Oregon.
