OCTOBER t. 1161 Turning The Clock Back School district reorganization in the United States has made tremendous strides, we nrte from the results of a study made by the American Association of School Administrators and the Department of Rural Education of the National Education Association. In 1932 there were 127,649 school districts in the United States. Today there are 36,402. The basic idea behind school district reor ganization is to gain efficiency, improve the educational program, and reduce the costs of education. Small school districts usually can't offer well-rounded educational programs because the number of students is too small and the money available is too little. THE state of Oregon sank its teeth into this 4 problem in 1957 when the legislature enacted the school district reorganization law. The stated objective of the act is to provide a means where by all areas of each county are to be incorporated in one or more administrative school districts that will maintain and education that is extended from grade 1 through grade iz. County committees are given the responsi bility of developine plans for such districts and the actual effecting of such districts is dependent upon approval of the plan by the voters in the area affected. As a result of the 1957 act 82 reorganized school districts have been established in Oregon. Today in Oregon 77.6 per cent of all pupils at tending public schools are in districts that pro vide eaucauon in giao.es i mrougn xa. DEFORE the 1957 rdorganization act and since " there has been opposition to it from citizens who want to continue the operation of small schools in Oregon, There are several reasons that thev do. An overriding factor is community pride. In most small communities the center of community life is the school. Without the school there would not be a strong central identity for everybody to tie himself to. Unfortunately, community pride often blushes aside the consideration that should be given to the education of children. The people who are opposed to the school district reorganization act have placed an initia tive measure on the November election ballot which would repeal the 1957 act. This ballot mea sure, if approved, would not only replace the present procedure which assures local demo cratic control of reorganization but would per mit dissolving of reorganized districts by a min ority of voters. THIS would be turning the clock back. It would be a move completely contrary to a process that is going on all over the United States. Throughout the country it has been recog nized that the small school deprives a child of the education to which he is entitled, the educa tion that children in larger schools are getting. If you believe in erjual education for all vou cannot vote for Ballot Measure No. 10. Pendle ton East Oregonian. A Way to Stop Smoking The American Cancer Society has another grievance against cigarettes. me society naa a wneeioarrow lull oi cig arette butts, 7,300 of them in its exhibit at the Seattle World's Fair to illustrate the amount of smoking a person does at a pack a day for a year. These had been supplied by the Veterans Admin- iBuuuuii nuspiuu in rsew ioi'k. Aiicr a lime, tne butts became moldy and had to be thrown out. To cct replacements, the cancer societv mi. pealed to the groundskeepers at the fair. Sorry, they said, there isn't any way to separate the butts from the rest of the debris collected from the fairgrounds. THE society went back to the veterans hospital only to find they had just put water containers in their ash trays and had no way of drying out the cigarettes. The Seattle jails were contacted. Sorry, the prisoners smoke their cigarettes clown to the last ash. Finally, from the University of Washington hospital the society was able to collect enough butts to do the job. A staff member was put to work counting the butts so there would be exactly 7,300. " Probably without realizing it, the Cancer So ciety has discovered an effective way of curing the cigarette smoking habit. Just put the smoker to counting 7,300 old cigarette butts. Oregon Statesman. Thriving Port The Port of Coos Bay advertises itself as the world's largest lumber 'shipping port, and the New York Journal of Commerce says it "pro duces statistics to back its claim." In 1961, 233 ships loaded 89-1,749 tons of cargo, mostly lum ber and logs, at Coos Bay docks. Columbia River ports used to hold first rank, but lumbering has moved south from the Columbia, and Coos Bay is the major shipping port now. Other developments must come, however, to sustain volume of ocean-borne commerce. Realiz ing that, the Port has brought in a man as port manager, u r,.

"I know of the agonizing effort so long made by you and many like you to balance off these actual conditions against the demands of his tory. I know, for example, that you yourself refused to use the mechanical cotton picker because it would have destroyed most of the Negro families who made their living from your place. "I know that some of your most pompous northern de tractors have scant concern for those around them in cluding their colored maids and the public schools to which their own children nev er go. "T KNOW how all through the long life of your fam ily in this country a life stretching back more than 300 years you and your kind have Quietly given what you have had for freedom and order and justice. How you have uncomplainingly died in every one of this country's wars. How your dead in the Confederate armies, in honor able resistance to what you believed to be unconstitution al demands from the Federal Union, have since then been may times matched by the number of your dead who have fallen in defense of the United States as a whole.

"I know how you and your kind have stood always and everywhere for ordered jus tice, sometimes at great cost to yourselves in those hours of passion which will seize other men. I know, too, that when issues are mortally drawn, as between your home state and the federal power, two traditions tear you apart: your tradition to uphold the courts even when you whol ly disagree with them and your tradition to take your stand with state authority, even though, as in this case, it is certainly not the authori ty you yourself would have chosen, "CTILL, I know what you " and others like you will do now.

Acorn Bacon To the Editor: People aller gic to the grunting and squealing of pigs will find it hard to believe they become silent in their natural wild state. This is all old-timer statements of hogs turned loose on their own in green grass springtime. The only ex ception is when the sow in dulges her sing-song murmur to her nursing piglets and who, when threatened with danger, resort to loud squeal- ng for help. Hogs are very gregarious and will herd up for protection when danger threatens. Our observant friend from the Pistol river country told how she and her husband made a hard climb to watch the wild-hogs go to bed, high on the ridge where air is warmest at eventime. Some were feeding on their way to the bedding ground. Others carrying grass, leaves and leafy branches for worn down beds. The sows getting small- fry together, counting noses so to speak, lifted inquiring noses for odor of prowling predator to grab off a tender young pig. Then, suddenly with front feet ahead, they hind-feet kick themselves un der the four to five foot deep and some six feet square pile of grass, leaves and brush, so much like humans after dark, nearing the family door to rush inside and slam it shut. Security and shelter for the night at least. These beds face to all points of the compass, so that odor warnings can be detect ed and alert sounded, noses being close to the bed-edge for better detection. The swine family Is fastid iously clean. Their- counter part of the human bathroom is just over the ridge so that no part of excrements will drain toward the beds. Bed areas are models of neatness, all trash picked up and added to the beds. With its natural wealth of oak acorns still present here in SW Oregon, it is to wonder why such cheap hog-feeding is not being used. Although acorn feed lends an inviting flavor all its own, its oil does not firm up to the snowy whiteness of lard so desirable in days gone by. Ranch wives generally favored acorn-pork, especially the bacon. But city wives preferred the corn-fed bacon and lard that held firm and white even in hot weather. The final blow is said to be the herd law that prohibited domestic stock run ning at large. But in the big, high, less inhabited Pistol river lands, the running of hogs for free feed continued for many years. Till as one colorful old-timer remarked: "the damned furriners (any one not born in Oregon) com in' in and not gcttin a deer, would kill one of our wild- hogs instead, 'specially in foggy weather. That's what stopped growin' the good acorn bacon." F. J. Clifford Route 2. Box 200F Central Point, Ore. Senator Morse's Record To the Editor: I am quot ing from a letter to the Ore gonian written by Ron Hill and Walter Lowblad, since it tells facts concerning Wayne Morse which arc irrefutable and which have been printed in Harrison Spangler's book. This book is simply an objec tive compilation of facts in Morse's 18-year record in the Senate. Brevity will not per mit mention in detail, but here are a few of them: 1) Morse is the only Sena tor who has served three terms in the Senate who has not been given the honor or responsibility of serving as chairman of one of Its regular standing committees: yet, as campaign orator, he now asks the voters to favor him be cause he has achieved a posi tion of great Influence by his long service. 2) That in Morse's 18 years there has not been a single bill of major importance that has become law, of which he is the author. 3) The documented record also shows that he spends less than half of his time with Senate duties, although Sena tors have more work than they can do. The balance of his time is consumed by his outside activities, from which he gains a most substantial income. American UPI man was a rarity. What he saw was a fuedal land which had changed little in historic times. Tacked on the wall of the iman's palace was the severed hand of a convicted thief. Concubinage and slavery were legal. Adul terers were stoned to death in the desert outside the capital of Sanaa baar the name and address oi a pan na.ua or initial .M nrarilu r.nrx.nt h. 4) In 1959, after graft and corruption of some labor offi cials had been exposed, a la bor reform bill was demand ed by the public and came up in the Senate for passage. Its purpose was to safeguard the rights of union members from oppressive bossism, protect union funds, and bar crim inals and communists from becoming union officials. Morse bitterly opposed this bill which passed the Senate by unanimous vote except for Morse and one other. 5) Morse has become known as "the big wind" in the Sen ate. He has a record for mak ing more speeches and taking more time than any other Senator in history. His speeches have occupied valu able time that might have been spent in senate business. It has cost the taxpayers - just to print his speeches in the Congressional Record - near ly $500,000. He recently led a filibuster which tied up the senate for about two weeks. Should Oregon have a Sena tor like this? Edith W. Braley, Rogue Valley Manor, 1200 Mira Mar, Medford Expresses Appreciation To the Editor: The mem bers of the Unity Church of Medford would like to thank the Medford Mail Tribune for the excellent coverage given them for the Northwest Unity conference.

About Fluorides To the Editor: Two letters in The Mail Tribune in Com munication column, written by L. C. Powell and Harriett G I b b s are best and most informative I've read on this very vital subject, "Fluorida tion, " and should appear in all newspapers of the land, and read by all people. If we were supposed to have poison" in our drinking water, God would have put it there. Man has and is succeeding in poisoning the very air which we breath and now wants to tamper with the most wonderful gift - pure water. I do not expect anyone else to take any medicine I need; nor do we wish to drink poisoned water by putting fluoride at its source of sup ply. So please, folks, vote no when that time comes. Thanks to L. C. Powell an-J H. Gibbs for writing your let ters and Medford Mail Trib une for publication. The Cuffel family 909 No. Central, Medford. Rough Riding To the Editor: Theodore Roosevelt was one of our greatest citizens and one of our best Presidents. He was the leader of the rough riders, but he never knew wot rough riding wuz. He just rode horses and they had springs. He never rode with me tn Crater lake in our 1912 Reo taxicab with the solid rubber tires, wooden wheels and no springs. If he had. he wouldn't have been able to ride a horse. Our passengers wot had false teeth had to pack them in excelsior and carrv them in their suitcase strapped to the running board.
