Possibility of Late Afternoon Bus Being Studied by School Officials l Medford school officials are (tudying the possibility of ad ding a late afternoon bus fchedule for students partici pating In extra-curricular ac tivities and for those who re main after school to study and (jo research work. - The school board last week authorized the study after it was suggested by Superin tendent Dr. Leonard B. May field. ; He pointed out that the late afternoon bus schedule would provide a greater opportunity for students living in outlying areas to participate in activ ities held after school hours. It also would provide an op portunity for students to re main after school for study Vork which must be done either in the library or labor atory facilities. Preliminary Study , Russell Acheson, assistant superintendent, submitted a preliminary study which indi cated that five bus routes could handle the number of students needing transporta tion home between 5 and 5:30 p.m. ijoard members indicated an interest in such a plan, but mentioned several possible abuses. Members suggested that the administration con sider these in its more de tailed study of the proposal. School busses are used in nany districts in this area to tarry students home followinc. after-school activities, school Officials noted. T The board decided to seek state legal advice in connec tion with the controversy -which has developed in Ore $on concerning public-supplied textbooks to private and parochial schools. Background of Can i The state legislature- in 1957 passed a law which pro vided that public school dist ricts furnish free textbooks to private and parochial schools. The law was contested by a fclackamas county resident. Z In late 1961, the Oregon Supreme Court reversed the Clackamas county circuit court decision and ruled that the law was unconstitutional. The case has been appealed to the U.S. Supreme Court. Meanwhile, the Oregon at torney general has ruled that public school districts do not have to retrieve textbooks al ready distributed to private or Catholic schools, but the districts could not issue new textbooks. This ruling was upheld re cently by Judge Virgil Lang try in Multnomah county cir cuit court, although the court did not make a decision, but overruled a Portland school district demurrer. Diffar.nct of Opinion The Medford board noted that there apepars to be a dif ference of oDinlon amone the I to private and d a r o c h 1 a 1 1 will seek legal advice. legal profession as to the schools in view of the appeal In other action, the board legal responsibility of school to the U.S. Supreme Court.

(Knackstedt photo) tions of the Oregon School Business Officials' association regarding a proposal to make county assessors local budget law enforcement officers. The local budget law advis ory committee of the state leg islative interim committee on local government has suggest ed that the county assessor be named the local budget law enforcement officer. Asiociation Opposed Connell C. Ward, president of the Oregon School Business Officials' association, Salem, said the association is opposed to the advisory committee's idea, "feeling that the county assessor is untrained in public finance and accounting and would be too subject to polit ical pressure (o he 'a satis factory person to pass on school budgets." The association. Ward said, suggested instead that the auditor selected by the county court to audit county financial records be Riven the authority proposed. He said qualifica tions have been set up for the county-appointed auditor, and that he would be available in every county to assist smaller districts in preparing their budgets. The association is not op posed to a local budget law enforcement officer, but has suggested that such an officer have set qualifications in deal ing with school budgets. The proposal stemmed from the fact that many school budgets, especially in smaller districts throughout the state, are poor ly prepared, generally due to lack of information and knowledge of what Is required. Board Accepts Bids The school board also ac cepted bids of the Associated Equipment and Supply com pany to provide milkshake and Ice cream machines for the Medford High school cafe teria. The company was low bidder. The machines will be used at the snack bar in the cafe teria, which will be used for the first time this year. Snack bars have been used in other school districts in Oregon suc cessfully, school officials noted. Acheson pointed out, how ever, that cafeterias still will offer hot lunches. The snack bar installation has been de signed primarily to offer a selection for students. The school district had been crit icized in the past for not of fering a selection when it only offered the hot lunch plant. Man Sentenced To Penitentiary Term The board also authorized the administration office at 500 Monroe St., Medford, to close Saturday mornings. This is common practice in other districts throughout the state. Dr. Mayfield noted that by closing the office to the pub lic on Saturday mornings it would give administrators "a chance to get a lot of work done." The resignations of Mrs. Edna Smith Bralcy and Mrs. Myrtle Patterson, elementary school teachers, were accept ed. The board elected as teachers Mrs. Jeanette C. Brown, Walter B. Moore, Mrs. Joyce Clair Sideras, Miss Mar porie Simonsen, Mrs. Dorothy Elaine Tnllefson, Lawrence M. Henderson, Mrs. Sylvia Heath, and Howard L. Byerly. SECTION D Medford.
