Teachers empha sized the value of reading good books and the care we should take in handling books. Student librarians were transported to the public li brary, where they visited the children's department. We are beginning the study of Brazil in Mrs. Harriett Eitemiller's sixth grade class. It is the largest country in South America. It is the third largest country in the West ern Hemisphere and the fifth largest country in the world.

During the last six weeks the fifth grades of Howard Linstrom and Miss Pat Leek made science folders to go with the groups of animals they were studying. In social studies Miss Leek's room made a mural of Alaska. There were several groups and each group did something different. In our Alaskan Mural we put a sky, mountain, trees, a lake and a dog team in the snow. Our fifth grade class took a pretended trip to Hawaii. Half the class went by boat and half went by airplane. We went many places. The first night we were all there together we had a luau and ale roast pig. pineapple and many other things. Another day Ve went to a beach called "Barking Sands." We also visited a pineapple plan tation and Pearl Harbor. For the first time in several years, Griffin Creek held a carnival in the school gym recently.

W ATKINS (Register and Tribune Syndicate 1962) Cry of the Wild Duck Is Getting Fainter There is much mystery and a little magic in the arrival or departure of far-flying waterfowl. Wild ducks high overhead in the darkness of night or in the drifting mists of a foggy morning, bring a tinge of ex citement to the most staid earthbound human. From out of the misly dark ness the flocks come hurtling in, to land with skidding splashes in the cold waters of a pond or a salt marsh. Thou sands of generations of ducks have followed the same un marked path through the sky, over Ihe long established fly ways. The hunter's blood courses faster in his veins at the pros pect of duck hunting, for the birds are wily game. But many of these hunters are content when the day is done to return home emptyhanded; they have enjoyed the sights and sounds that arc always present when the wildfowl come hurtling through the mists of early morning. Serious Stage Thinking hunters, too, real ize that the time of duck hunt ing has reached a serious stage State Constitutinn (Grange News Revision Group Faces Heavy Slate taoxy Ann Grange Mrs. Annice Wilson was given the third and fourth de gree obligations and became a member at the last meeting ot the Rox; Ann Grange.

E. Sims public employees to serve as ; subject matter at special ses-wilh Mrs Wilma .Van Gar- when something drastic must be done to preserve the soort. There are, of course, many factors that control the sup ply of wildfowl that will wing- over the shooting grounds next season. Some of these factors are uncontrollable. One seems to to be the extensive and whole sale drainage of the wet places, ponds and swamos, These depressions are being tilled in at an alarming rate. The wild duck must have water, food and a degree of shelter. When ponds and lakes become scarce and far apart, the ducks congregate on available wet places in large numbers. Too heavy a concentration fouls the water, especially in shallow lakes, and disease takes a heavy toll. Thousands of birds die from water pol lution. "Duck-disease" some one called it, a direct result of bacterial growth. A continual drought In the nesting areas can cut the duck population in half; a factor, of course, outside the power of the conservationists to con trol. Outlook Discouraging The honest sportsman must legislators The chairman, State Rep. George Layman (R-Newberg) said the 17 member commis sion will consider five policy items for the new state con stitution being drafted. The commission will submit the new, leaner constitution to the 1963 legislature. If it passes both houses by two thirds majorities, the proposal will be on the 1964 ballot. Layman said this week's meeting, plus another one June 1-2, will probably end predrafting policy decisions of the commission. Then a drafting subcommittee head ed by Law Prof. Hans A. Linde of the University of Oregon will actually write the document. Among items recommended by subcommittees and up for final approval this week are those that would; Continue lo aDDnrlion both houses of the legislature on the basis of population but letting the solons set the number of seats in each house. A key provision is that no legislative district would have more than twice the popula tion of any other district. sions of the legislature Allow the governor to reorganize his executive branch by executive order, with the legislature having to veto his plan within a period of time. This Is similar to a federal law. Put a 20 department limit on the executive branch. Have the constitution con tinue to outlaw lotteries In Oregon. Let the governor appoint judges. An appointed judge would stand for election after two years and if retained by the voters, he would stay in office, facing them thereafter every six years. If a judge were ousted at the polls, the governor would name some one else. Create a slate commission to advise the governor on his judicial appointments. Such a commission would also advise the legislature on law revision and the supreme court on rule making. The meetings start at 9:30 a.m. PST both days, In the capitol. - den assisting. Twenty mem- oers were present. Insurance and agriculture reports were given by the chairmen, and R. J. Ritchey discussed the growing rabbit industry in Jackson county. Robert Dames introduced Nat Etzcl, vocational agricul ture instructor at Eagle Point, and Jihn Patrick, a senior and FFA member, Eagle Point. They spoke briefly about the "People to People" exchange program. The lecturer's program was arranged by Mrs. Evelyn Hen dricks, Grange secretary, and Mrs. R. J. Ritchey, Grange treasurer. A film provided by the telephone company was shown, and an Easter hat con test with Mrs. Clarence Pfnis tcr winning first prize, was held. Kenneth Nolle sang.

Without a great deal of un derstanding, sincere and hon est conservation, and careful planning by everyone, duck Hunting will be spoken of in the past tense before very many years. The flyways, and what few wetlands and natural ponds that will be left, in a patheti cally short time, will be pretty lonely places. There will be cold, misty mornings, but there will also be a strange admit, that the future of his silence.
