He spoke of some important break throughs that have been made in some aspects of edu cation, and referred to scien tific accomplishments that have been made during the past ten years. He said the federal govern ment was interested in educa tion as early as the 1780's. Ag ricultural colleges were among the first to be estab lished with the help of the government. One of the greatest advanc es was made in 1958 when the National Defense Educational act became effective, Steven son said. It's purpose is to stimulate scientific study in secondary schools and colleg es, specifically study of for eign languages, sciences and mathematics. The social sci ence commission has also be come an important phase of the program, he said. Loan Fund He explained the federal student loan fund which is available to those who wish to take advantage of it. This has enabled many students to con tinue their education. In the early days environ ment was no problem, Steven son said. Influences for the youngster were the home, Happy Camp Has Second TV Cable Happy Camp - The Siski you Vidio Co. of Yreka own ed by F. H. Maginnis has given Happy Camp its second television station on the ca ble system. The vide6 company crew worked during the week pre ceding New Years to bring Channel 6, KVIQ of Eureka, into town so the football fans in the area could be able to view the Rose Bowl game. However, the crew was only able to finish the eastern half of town before the three day holiday. The other portion of town will be receiving the new channel as soon as more equipment can be installed. The only other station on the cable is Channel 3, also of Eureka, which is affiliated with CBS. KVIQ is affiliated with both NBC and ABC and is a sister station of KVIP of Redding, both owned and op erated by the Northwestern California Television Co. KVIQ boosted its power Dec. 15 to 100.000 watts, thus it was able to be picked up at the location of the present Happy Camp antenna system. Two other local community cable systems located on the more populated areas on the Indian Creek road hope to be able to pick up the new sta tion also. At present there arc four other cable systems in the area besides the one at Happy Camp, however the others are owned by the pri vate citizens. Field Service Fund Raising Grants Pass The Grants Pass chapter of the American Field Service announced the tentative date of Saturday, Feb. 11 as the time for its fund-raising dinner in which many civic organizations and high school activity clubs will participate. Although the event was originally planned to defray the expenses in connection with Franca Margini. foreign exchange student living in this area, it was announced that the generous donations of two civic organizations had made this unnecessary. Therefore, the roup now hopes that this dinner and others to follow in tli fell might provide means at establishing e fund from which money could be drawn 0 ait me student in par tiripatiag in the summer Americans Abroad pneaam.

Ad ams, McBeth and Mrs. Walker all are serv ing on the council for the first time. church, school and commu nity. However, as the years progressed, the school began to have many varied func tions, he added. 'During the last ten years, the home in many instances has become more or less of a "feeding and stopping off place" due to less interest in the home and church, accord ing, to Stevenson. As the popu lation became greater in the schools its added functions and circumstances increased criti cism from the public. This in turn was good for the schools because it turned attention to the need of education, and now teachers are receiving praise for their accomplish ments. Stevenson pointed out that men are coming to the front in education. There is now a higher percentage of male teachers than women in all levels of education, elemen tary, secondary and college, he said. Other advances he spoke of were extended education for the handicapped child and camping education, which was started three years ago in the Prineville school system. This phase of teaching gives the student actual experience in the study of conservation of natural resources, among oth er things he learns to work and live with people other than his family. Students of Westside school participated in a pilot camping education program, which was success ful, he said.' In closing he told the group there are legislative measures pending on almost every as pect of education. He said, in fact far too many for him to single out a specific few. Prior to his talk, Mrs. Jerry Herrington, president of the P. T. A. conducted a short business meeting. Deane Roberts, seventh grade teacher gave the invoca tion. Basketball Game Gilbert Mack, principal of the Gold Hill schools, an nounced that a Basketball game will be held in Medford Monday night, Jan. 9 at 7 p.m. at St. Mary's school. It was necessary to postpone the game due to the Lights On For Education night which was a statewide program. Mrs. Herrington announced that an informative program on cancer will be presented at the next meeting of the unit, Feb. 13. Mrs. Donald Meister, Pro gram chairman introduced Dr. Stevenson and expressed thanks on behalf of the P.T.A. for his time. Mrs. Herrington named a nominating committee of Mrs. Paul Thompson, Mrs. Delos Walker and Mrs. Clyde Kell. This group will make a report at the February session. Allan Hill's sixth grade received the room count for having the most parents present. Mrs. Ro lan Washburn and Mrs. Allan Hilkey were in charge of re freshments. Planning Dinner The preliminary plans for the dinner, to be held at High land school in Grants Pass, include continuous serving from 7 to 9 p.m.. with enter tainment provided the entire time by various instrumental and vocal groups from the high school. There will also be brief talks by some of the exchange students living In the area on their countries, and it is planned that civic organizations and high school activity clubs each prepare and decorate a table honoring some foreign country and se cure as much information as possible about that country so as to give an idea of the broad possibilities of the program. There were representatives of many civic groups and of the high school staff and its student boot as well as regu lar members of the AFS chap tit, present at the luncheon meeting which was held in the Redwoods hotel.

Councilman Harry Fried man says he is satisfied with the quality of the work to date on the project, but is dis appointed with the progress.

It will be equipped with a small pool for tots and a main swimming area 25 meters long.

Some mem-' bers thought the dime dinner j and variety show should be held on the same night at the high school using the high school gym and cafeteria. Aft er much discussion it was de cided it would be better if the two events were on sepa rate nights. The final deci sion was for the dinner to be held at the elementary school. Members present at the meeting were Mrs. Lloyd Westby, PTA president; Mrs. Clinton Hegler, parlimontar- ian; Mrs. LaVonne Walters, vice-president; Mrs. James Tristan, treasurer; Mrs. Ed ward Kempec, and Mrs. Nor man Herman, ways and means co-chairman; Mrs. William Clapson, auditor; Mrs. Hazel Davis, room representative; Herbert Sonneborn, elemen tary school principal and Mr. James Foote, high school principal.
