"More specifically," he con tinued, "we believe that the impact of the high school counseling program in Oregon is a strong factor - students are more college motivated than in the past, and are cer tainly more knowledgeable inasmuch as the educational offerings of the various col leges and universities are con cerned." Retain Old Students "Our gain of 34 per cent in the retention of old students reflects a definite and con cerned effort on the part of our administration and facul ty to keep students in col lege, thus combating in our own area the national dropout figure ranging from 40 to 70 per cent.

Textbook Case Believed at End Portland-fflPD-The attorney for a man who sought U.S. Supreme Court review of a ruling that barred distribu tion of textbooks at public ex pense to parochial schools in Oregon said today "This ap pears to be the end of the battle." The comment came from Leo Smith, former Multnomah county district attorney, fol lowing the high court's re fusal Monday to review the Oregon Supreme Court ruling. Smith reDresented Ivan B. Carlson, father of five chil dren who attend St. John the Apostle School in Oregon City. Smith said parochial school children probably will be able to use books currently on hand until the end of the year. He said this would give parochial schools time to adopt a new set of books and arrange for publishers to sell directly to the children. Weight-Mile Tax Collections Increase Salem -Wit- Jonel C.

FOR ALL YOUR INSURANCE NEEDS, SELECT A CERTIFIED INSURANCE AGENT. QUALIFIED Then art Two Qualified Insurance Agents it Try and By BENNETT CERF- AFTER PROLONGED study, a bridge expert has come up with a brand new bid calculated to be "a solace to the uneasy bidder, a reviver of interest to the poor devil who is a consistent holder of miserable cards, and a deterrent to an overbear ing opponent. It may even open up a fine new line of argument," he concludes in a burst of optimism, "and probably result in the rearrange ment of many rusty part nerships." The name of this revo lutionary new bid is the "undouble."
