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

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

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,. Uingler, tormer manager of the

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."

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?
