The Most Important Tiling Today is election day in School District 549C, when the voters will pass on the 1968-64 budget. This is not to discuss the merits of the pro posal. But it is an appropriate time to wonder what it is that motivates citizens to serve on school boards and budget committees, devoting hours and hours of their own time, week after week, month after month, year after year with no reward except the feeling that one has had some small part in the improvement of the oppor tunities open to the young people of the com munity. The editor of the Pendleton East Oregonian was musing along these lines recently. He knows (as a former "Oregon Education Citizen of the Year" himself, and as a member of the State Board of Higher Education) the demands upon the citizen volunteers who are responsible for our educational system. t AND in his column he quoted the current Ore gon Education Citizen of the Year about his own philosophy. The 1962 award winner is S. E. Brogoitti. He is a farmer and lives in one of the smallest com munities of the state. Yet he took the time to serve on local school boards, is now a member of the State Board of Education, and is a mem ber of the National Association of School Boards. He has traveled thousands of miles and spent thousands of his own dollars in the course of his service. Why? As paraphrased by the Pendleton ed itor, Mr. Brogoitti put it this way: "It began Willi me. I realized how much more I could have done if 1 had been well educated. It spread from there and I soon saw that there is nothing that we do in our society that is as important as educating our young people. All the good that this country has done is the result of education. All the problems our nation has can he solved only by well educated people. There is no oilier place we invest our dollars that brings us greater returns. Without gooTI education we do much less that we should. With it, we can have everything." a LIERE, today, in the second half of the 20th century, with what appear to be Insuperable problems on every hand here is a man who, because he lacked all its the solution not in whining arid whimpering, or blaming others, or in chasing demons, but in raising up a generation who can solve them, through educated brainpower. If anyone should ask you what is the most important thing in the world today, you would be well advised to answer in Mr. Brogoitti's words : ". . . There is nothing ciety that is as important people." Congratulations, Mr. you. E. A.

Airmen Thanked To the Editor: I am sending j you a copy of a letter I sent to Colonel Witzenburger, com mander al Kingsley Field. I intended the letter for the men at the base. However, I think certain people in our area should understand that their, opinion of sonic booms is not the majority viewpoint. The letter is self-explanatory. Colleen Tokar, 2'.i5 South Oakdaie avc. Medford O To Colonel Witzenburger and his men: Dear Sirs: A recent article in the Medford Mail Tribune staled that you get many com plaints about "sonic booms."

Perhaps 1 am more grateful because I do NOT see or hear these things. In stead, I see jet trails and hear sonic booms. This is all it costs me to live in peace and I would be very small indeed to complain. Better broken windows than an alomically leveled home, I know my feelings are not unique, although the number Ht 'pi"x make it seem so.

In the Day's News By FRANK JENKINS Phis i written on APRIL FOOLS DAY fF YOU were in London on this day. and were "trick ed." there would be a happily derisive laugh, and somebody If you were in I'aris. walking along the Champs Elysces, or the Rue Sainlc llonorc, or the Rue de la Paix or any; where else, for that matter you would hear the same de- risive laugh, but the words would be POISSON D'AV- RIL, meaning April Fish. If you were in Edinburg and did something of the sort, nud be called a oljwi meaning a cuckoo. 11IIY all this? Nobody seems to be very j sure of the origin of it all. j But its very old. It just might be a relic of the Ro- man festival of Cerealia, held at the beginning of April. The tale is that Proserpina was sporting in the Elysan mea- dows, and had just . filled her lap with daffodils, when Pluto snatched her up and carried her off to the lower world. Her mother Ceres heard the echo of her screams and went in search of the voice she bad heard. But in vain. Her search was a "fool's errand " APRIL is quite a month in hislorv and literature.

One is that! ments of policy thp ripfnnsp huriffnl nan ho rr- duced down to something like Ihe last Eisenhower defense ' budget for fiscal 1962. i General Eisenhower does not support, because he thinks ii unnecessary, the Kennedy enlargement of our strategic ; p ... , ana 01 our conventional forces. It would be interesting j to hear him argue, not merely assert, this very important proposition. uenerai Elsenhower s see- ond difference of policy is on the program to put a man on the moon and get him back again before 1970. This is, as he says, a crash program which is spectacular, but too costly. Here, too. is an issue which ought to be debated, AN THE first question, that U I ! be cut from the Kennedy 1 c v e 1 lo the Eisenhower level, the general must know that the prospects are poor. For defense, this Con gress wants to spend more. not less, than do President ts.enneay ana secretary Mc- Namara, Congress would be horrified at going back to the Eisenhower level. Indeed, the controversies which arc rag - ing around the "McNamara Monarchy" all originate in his refusal to spend, money that certain officers, politicians and contractors want to have spent. ! General Eisenhower knows; that. He learned it when he was President, and his vale- j dictory on television will long I be remembered for its warn- I ing that "in the councils of 1 government, we must guard against the acquisition of un- warranted influence, whether sought or unsought, by the military-industrial complex." Believeing that, General Ei- i Senhower niirht tn Inko a : long dosc look at lhc em battled secretary of defense, and hc snould ask himself whether the root of Secretary i McNamara-s troubles is not1 that hc has the will and the know-how ana the guts to bring military spending under j rational control. If Mr. Mc Namara is overwhelmed, Gen- j cral Eisenhower can give up for lost any serious notion that military spending will be cut back. A S TO putting a man on the moon, the real question, I bclive, is not whether it Is too expensive. The real qucs-' tion is whether the country ! would support a gigantic re search and scientific explora- ,lon 111 outer space it it were not prodded by the fear that te rtussians will gut to the moon Clrst and lured bv the prize of being the first our- selves to eel Ihe What General Eisenhower thinks, so it seems, is that we should "demonstrate common sense" about the nrod and the lure. We should spend less and take more time and let the Russians win the race to the moon if they can afiord It. No doubt the winner in the race Will have great prcs , tige. and. to many people the world over, he will look tern porarilv like a superman. But j at the first man oh the moon!

He is a business! man, and was i n v o lved in some p r o- j c i posed legisia tion for his group. "T h i s Harm1 1 trip did one tiling for me. - he remarked at lunch. "It made mc think twice about I the slogan of 'state's rights' that sounds so appealing to I those of us who arc alarmed about Federal power." "What do you mean by that?" I asked, "It was the first time I'd 1 had a glimpse of a slatchousc in action," he. explained. "It 1 was appalling and depress- . ing and I'm sure that my state isn't any different, or . any worse, than most.' "Depressing in what way?" I wanted to know. "In every way," he said. "In the calibre of men we have sent lo the stale leg islature. In the atmosphere of intrique and deals and moral shabbiness. In the cheapness and seediness of the whole political situa tion there, in both parlies." "Didn't you find any pos itive aspects?" I inquired. Of c o u r s e," he said.
