The June issue is devoted to the results of a survey among ed ucators and school board chairmen made by Robert Sabin, now a member of the administrative staff of the Salem public schools.

Kfflfflraitl vrm HOW TO SPUR BUSINESS, PROTECT U.S. DOLLAR TOO Never before have the U.S. Government's financial policy makers had to face these two awesome problems simultane ously: , How to help spur a sluggish economy at home through bold actions which would deliberately create big budgt deficits and, at the same time, make it clear that we are not pursuing financially Irresponsible programs so our for eign creditors will not withdraw ,thc enormous totals of short-term funds they hold in our markets and by so doing, undermine the U.S. dollar. F.veryone of us is going to be affected by the decisions made on how to solve these problems and you cannot shrug off this story as too "technical." Your Job, your paycheck, your cost of living, the value of your savings nestegg all these and other matters of closest bread-and-butter Interest to you are at stake in what the Administration, Congress and the Federal Reserve System decide is wisest to do. Here is a new hitherto untried approach being intensively studied at the highest levels in Washington. It well may be the shape of the future. (1) To spur our economy at home, vote across-the-board t:ix cuts for both individuals and corporations, try to offset the tax losses through some "loophole closing" but acknowl edge the tax slashes will add heavily to the budget deficit in the 1903 fiscal year which began July 1 education at the university. J he county office s "place in the total educational pro gram must be reassessed in the light of the changing needs of school districts, and possi bly a new type of Intermedi ate district must be developed to meet these needs," the ar ticle states. The role of the county of fice has been called into ques tion in recent years as the re sult of the consolidation of many small school districts, formerly dependent on this of fice for numerous educational services, into larger, better organized and equipped dis tricts. At the same time, the State department of education has stepped up its services to local districts, the article points out. Opinion Split The survey showed that about 70 per cent of the elect ed local and rural school board members tend to be sat isfied with the present func tions of the county office, but "half or more of the profes sional educators at the local, county, and state levels do not believe the present pur poses . . . are satisfactory." The same lay-professional split In opinion was revealed when respondents were asked whether the county office was "organized adequately" to meet present needs. It is apparent," the report states, "that a consensus does not exist and that contemplat ed changes will be difficult to arhicve until some of the conflicting points of view arc reconciled." A majority of the count v school superintendents and State department of education personnel polled do not be lieve that the present num ber of services provided by the office Is adequate. These answers seem to in dicate that much ot t ho im petus for change in the office comes from the superintend ents themselves, according to educational authorities. Thev further reveal that State de partment personnel appear to ed with the armed forces in World War II. Not only is Hubbard-Wray company one of southern Oregon's oldest firniE, but the company also has the dis tinction of beiitg the oldest continuous John Deere deal ership on the Pacific Coast and possibly in the U. S.

There Hubbard sold the first John Deere plows to homesteaders in the 1880's and I870's. Before coming west he opened a store In Dallas Center. Iowa, handling John Deere plows and Moline wagons. In 1882 Fortunatus Hub bard migrated to Jackson ville, answering the lure of gold. Realizing that farming would eventually supersede gold panning and trapping in economic importance in this new land, he dropped into the Jacksonville tolo graph office and wired John Deere that he had an oppor tunity to sell farm machinery in the Rogue River valley but had no money. With the closest sources of supplies for farmers here located 20(1 miles north at Eugene and 350 miles south at Sacra mento, Calif., Deere sent a return telegram informing Hubbard that a carload of machinery would be sent, freight prepaid, to Sacra mento and included in the shipment would be enough wagons from the Moline Wa gon Works to haul the ma- New Awards Added to List of Oregon Beauty Pageant July 19, 20, 21 problem.
