A BLONDE BOMBSHELL, whose name you would recog
nize, was signed to play the highly sexed heroine in
the screen version of an explosive best seller. The bomb
shell s agent exulted,
1 "This should be a new
high in your career. Do
you know that the studio
1 paid $300,000 for this
novel?" "Holy cow," ex
claimed the bombshelL
"Why didn't they borrow
it from the library?"
In his journal, Henry
David Thoreau, author of
"Walden," lamented that
one of his own favorite
books, "A Week on the
Concord and Merrimac
Rivers " (now generally ac
cepted as an American classic) was published In 1849, when the
entire country wanted to read about nothing but the gold rush
In California. Who wanted a book about familiar old New Eng
land at a tune like that?
"The edition was limited to a thousand copies," wrote Thoreau
Badly, "and eventually I had to buy most of these myself I have
now a library of neatly nine hundred volumes, over seven bundled
of which I wrote myself."
Home from Coney Island, a ten-year-old sprout came down
ivith a terrible stomach-ache. The experienced father told the
doctor, "Probably 40 or 60 of the things he ate didn't agree
with him."
Tony Randall maintains that those stretch pants so many
young ladies are sporting these days come in three sizes: small,
medium, and don't bend over.

UO Research, Training Grants
Eugene - Research and
training grants to the Uni
versity of Oregon reached a
record $3,632,628 during the
1961-62 fiscal year, the Uni
versity business office has re
ported.
This is an increase of $888,-
940. or 32 per cent, over the
previous record figure of $2,
743.688 set in the 1960-61 fis
cal year.
Research grants during the
fiscal year ending July 1 to
taled $2,472,234, and grants
for teaching, training and
other purposes totaled $1,
160,394. Largest Amount
The National Science foun
dation awarded the largest
amount for research, totaling
$1,011,450. The Public Health
service awarded $470,118, and
other branches of the Depart
ment of Health, Education
and Welfare awarded $80,
520. Lunch Program In
Schools Receives
4,000 Tons of Food
Salem The state depart
ment of education, through its
school lunch program, distri
buted 274 train-car loads of
foods to local schools in Ore
gon during the past school
year.
According to Dr. Leon P.
Minear, state superintendent
of prblic instruction, this rep
resented more than 4,000 tons
of food which had a whole
sale value of nearly 2',j mil
lion dollars.
The tonnage, distributed to
cafeterias in 950 elementary
and secondary schools in Ore
gon, involved 29 types of
food, which included frozen
meals, cereal products, can
ned fruits and vegetables,
raisins, and fresh cranberries.
School lunch and school
milk programs are operated
without profit and are kept
within the financial reach of
the majority of children be
cause of federal reimburse
ment administered by the de
partment of education, ex
plained Dr. Minear. Elemen
tary children pay only 25
cents a meal and high school
students pay a few cents
more.
Each school receives from
three to four cents in cash,
plus donated foods which
have a value of seven to
eight cents per meal.
ilify Tax Ratios
Okayed in Counties
Salem While meeting as
a board of equalization and
review, the state tax commis
sion has approved locally
posted ratios for Oregon's 36
counties for the 1962-63 tax
year.
The 1962-63 posted ratios
and assigned utility ratios for
both Jackson and Josephine
counties remain at 25 per
cent, the 1961 ratio.
Completion of reappraisal
in Lincoln and Union coun
ties resulted in the 25 per
cent ratio being posted in
both these counties. Three
counties, Multnomah, Baker
and Umatilla, may legally
post ratios other than 25 per
cent. The latter two counties
are undergoing re ppraisal
and will be required to use
the 25 per cent ratio when re
appraisal is completed for the
1963 assessment year. The
Multnomah county ratio was
lowered from 40 per cent
posted in 1961 to 36 per cent
for 1962. The Multnomah
county assessor may continue
to post ratios higher than 25
per cent, but cannot increase
the posted ratio over the one
used the previous year.
The commission noted that
five counties were nearing
the maximium allowable dev
iation of plus or minus 10 per
cent from the 25 per cent ra
tio level. Letters have been
sent to the assessors, boards
of equalization, and county
courts of these counties advis
ing them of the necessity of
correcting this situation dur
ing the coming year.
The same ratios used for lo
cally assessed property were
again assigned for use in de
termining the assessment of
centrally-assessed utility
property.
