The difference between
success and failure for

way she uses her 24 hours a
day - and how she manages
money. But this doesn't mean
you have to be a perfection
ist, an avid clock watcher, or
a penny pincher. It's smart
to strike a happy medium.
More kitchen storage! We
hear that every where we go.
Do you really need MORE, or
do you just hang on to too
many things?
One of our county exten
sion agents was asked to help
a homemaker with this prob
lem. We'll call her Mrs. J.,
Together they devised a
scheme. All supplies were
taken out of the cabinets.
Then Mrs. J. gave each item
a good hard look. When had
she last used it? Utensils
whose usefulness was ques
tioned were put in a big box
and carted out to the garage.
After six month Mrs. J.
found she went to the garage
only twice to get utensils from
the box. And there was now
plenty of storage space for
kitchen supplies which de
served top priority.
Try this on your kitchen
sometime and see how much
space you gain. If you need
do - it - yourself ideas for
making kitchen cabinets hold
more, write us for our exten
sion bulletin "Better Kitch
en Storage." It's free.

Dr. Arthur Taylor
Honored at Dinner
Ashland-Pointinr- out that ,
the role of retiring teachers j
was of extreme importance in
growing college because of
their freedom to make deci
sions based on past experi
ence and in their knowledge
of the future, Dr. Francis B.
Nickcrson, representative of
the Oregon state system of
higher education, addressed
65 guests at the Arthur S.
Taylor Testimonial dinner at
the Mark Antony hotel last
week.
Dr. Elmo N. Stevenson,
Southern Oregon college pres
ident who served as master
of ceremonies for the event
which was held in honor of
Dr. Taylor's long service to
the college, introduced the
speaker after a short welcom
ing address, a number of
tributes, an entertainment.
According to Dr. Nickcrson,
all "social strata must become
obsolete as we are a dynamic
people. We move, we change
to meet the challenges of the
present and the future." Wel
coming this "Challenge of
Change," the speaker declared
that retired people are needed
because they do not have to
be answerable for 'their deci
sions and therefore may make
them wisely without heed to
political or other pressures
which often hamper decision
making.
Time for Reexamination
"This is a time for reexami
nation and adaptation of our
entire educational system. It
is a time when many mistakes
win be made in order to
achieve a better educational
system, but these mistakes
must be made in order to
meet the needs of a new
world. Without making such
mistakes, man will fail to
progress because when he
fears to make errors in judg
ment he tends to stagnate and
his civilization to decay." '
Dr. Nickerson pointed out
to illustrate the need for
change that one in six jobs
by 1970 will be involved with
the conquest of space and
that educators will be design
ing, shaping, and Influencing
the children who will con
quer new worlds. Men and
women with Dr. Taylor s ex.
perience and vision must be
employed to achieve a healthy
balance between the old and
the new
Representing the student
body, Doug Olson, Eugene,
