School News Wilson School Mrs. Marjorie Shelton's first grade room has 11 girls and 14 boys. In science, students have been studying about the Mon arch butterfly. Many of the children brought cocoons to school to see the butterflies emerge. In art class, the stu dents drew pictures of their families. Oregon's biggest single source of tax revenue, like most states is the income tax. Welfare Recovery $51,91 in September Salem i'Mi T h e Oregon Justice Department's welfare j recovery division took in S51.91 1 in September, Ally. Gen. Robert Y. Thornton said Wednesday. Of the total. SSI (IRH w:i ; collected for child support, ! and S823 in welfare fraud. ! will cat into state finances is still anyone's guess. And no ! one in state government wants to do any guessing just now. Gov. Mark Hatfield esti mates the impact on stale fi- ; nances between now and June, 1963 end of the bien : num. as "significant," with 1 no elaboration. At best, any loss of stale ! income means a big headache I for the tax commission, for i the governor, and for the 1063 legislature in January. This Is due to the fact that stale finances were tight be fore the storm hit, with no money to spare. Some legis lators had questioned state ments by Hatfield and his fis cal advisors that no tax in crease would be needed to balance the next state budget. A big question after the storm was: Where will the money come from to pay for damage to state buildings, ; since the Budget is tigm." ! The answer Is that, in ari jdition to federal disaster funds, Oregon has been sav 1 ing for a rainy day since 1923. The savings are ill the form I of a state restoration fund, a little-publicized pool of $2.7 I million. Administered by the State j Finance Department, it has ' built up through the years by assessing various state agen ! cics a certain amount each bi l ennium. I The state operates this self j insurance program because it carries no catastrophe insur i ance. Stale agencies weren't as sessed in the current bienni um because the fund has built I up close enough to the S3 million top set by law. But now the fund will be heavily depleted, and the 1063 legis lature will be asked to assess agencies in 1063-65 to start building it back up.
