SEPT. 22 i 36-37-39 5d 55-59-81-891 Local Kindergarten Program Defended By Association Kindergartens are not a part of the Oregon system of education in many parts of the state, the Southern Ore gon Pre-School association reminded residents today in a statement issued by the as sociation officers in defense of the local kindergarten pro gram. A controversy over the kindergarten program locally was started last week when Clarence L; Miller told the city planning commission that some kindergartens in the city, particularly dancing school kindergartens, do not provide adequate pre-school training for children. Miller had been requesting a variance to operate a kind ergarten in a single-family zone. The request was denied by the commission when a number of residents in the area objected to having a commercial enterprise in their neighborhood. The Southern Oregon Pre School association's officers are Mrs. Robert Forbes, pres ident; Mrs. Lester Harris, vice president; Mrs. John Kent, secretary; and Mrs. Doris Bur kett, Mrs. Jane Coverstone, and Mrs. Paul Ashby. . Association's Statement The association's statement follows; "There are no laws govern ing who shall direct a kinder garten program or what shall be taught. Because ot this, a group of concerned persons throughout the state met to gether and formed the Ore gon Pre-School association. "A committee was elected to study the standards and procedures in all states and to propose adoption of the best of these for members of the association. Miss Jean Spaulding of the state depart ment of education is a mem ber of the association." Membership in the associa tion is open to teachers, di rectors, parents, students and others who are interested in the welfare of the child from two to six years of age. The association provides the opportunity for members to meet for discussion, learn ing and observation, and to learn from each other, from our-schools and from trained people in our own and related fields. The local association is affiliated with both the state and national associa tions.

TINY TUBES Schenectady - Some radio tubes are so small that work ers must use microscopes dur ing their assembly process. Cement Makers Expect 1961 To Be Better By HENRY J. BECHTOLD UPI Financial Editor New York - HOT - The ce ment makers are willing to forget 19B0 if 11)8 1 will let them. And most of the leaders in this indus try figure this year is bound to s h o w -in i m provemcnt over sorely d i sappoinMng 19(i0. uenry Bcchtold Wall Street already has begun to feel bet ter about the industry, ac cording to Investor's Reader. It noted that cement stocks, which had been falling stead ily since the middle of 1959, began to turn last October and have enjoyed a 16 per cent recovery thus far. Cement makers vigorously expanded and modernized their facilities during the 1950s, first to take care of heavy postwar construction demands, and lalcr in prepar ation for the anticipated soar ing sixties. But 1960 brought the in dustry more than its share of woes, -according to the Merrill Lynch, Pierce, Fenner & Smith publication. It started with an almost nationwide epidemic of un seasonable weather which made the normally poor first quarter even worse. As the year went on the 18 per cent drop in housing starts added to the cement crumble. Highways Add to Woe . The hardest blow of all, the magazine said, was the slow pace of the nation's highway program which most cement makers had expected to shift into high gear in 1960. High way and bridge construction account for a quarter of total industry shipments. Cement shipments last year slipped to an estimated 310 million barrels or 6 per cent below -the record 329 million barrels delivered in 1959. This combined with weak prices and rising costs LUNCHEON 99c Children 59c 3 Moat Dishes Appetizers Relish Tray IS Salads 2 Desserts Served 11:00 Till 2:00 By Popular Demand A REPEAT of Our Opening Day SPECIAL Friday and Saturday No. 10 Front St. 3000EZ COMPLETE DINNERS m JUMBO SHRIMP OYSTERS STEAK irf VI P0RK CH0PS SERVED DAILY OPEN 6 A.M. to 10 P.M TIMBER 5 SOUTH DANCE SAMS VALLEY GRANGE HALL Good Music!

This dealt with percentage depletion, the tax write-off allowed extractors of minerals VA To Dislribue Dividends To Vets Washiiigton-ilirr-The Veter ans Administration said today it was taking immediate steps to comply with President Kennedy's order to speed in surance dividend payments. The VA said $258.5 million would be distributed to 4.8 million World War II veterans holding national service life insurance and to about 260, 000 World War 1 veterans who have U.S. government life insurance. Officials said they would cut the usual payment time table by one-half, distributing i all payments by June 30 at the latest. They said they hoped to mail the payments well before the end of June. The dividends primarily are refunds to ihe veterans of part of their premium pay ments, made possible mainly because the death rate among GI policyholders continues to be at a lower rate than calcu lated when the premiums were set.

A 1959 court of appeals ruling that one cement firm could use the value of its finished product to figure depletion was employed by all cement firms in their 1957 59 returns and helped boost their reported earnings. Congress Decides They also sued for tax re funds for 1951-56 when they had calculated on a kiln-feed basis - the value of the ma terial as il Is tossed into the kiln, Investor's Reader noted. But Congress last summer passed a law establishing the kiln-feed method as the offic ial valuation point for cement, starting the first of this year. In addition, the cement com panies were given until Nov. 15, I960 to cither relinquish tax claims for prior years and agree to pay additional taxes for the years 1957-60, or con tinue the risky fight in the courts.

One firm had to borrow $12 mil lion to pay its taxes. Several firms also cut their dividends and curtailed year end extras. This Is why the cement makers are willing to forget I960. They now look for in creased benefits from antici pated increases in highway construction, heavy construc tion and housing starts. One producer sees a 5 per cent rise in cement shipments this year.
