Guidance Counselors To Continue Their Program in County
Ashland - Oregon Program
guidance counselors will con
tinue their Jackson county
counseling program for about
four more weeks, according
to Dr. Bill A. Sampson, di
rector of the Oregon Program
at Southern Oregon college.
About 100 Jackson county
high school graduates of
1962 have been selected to
participate In this phase of
the Oregon Program, Samp
son pointed out.
"We have Just contacted
those graduates who did not
return our first scheduling
card," Dr. Sampson comment
ed. "This will be our last
general invitation to these
people."
According to the Oregon
Program director, the counse
lors who operate this particu
lar part of the multiphase
Oregon Program at Southern
Oregon college will soon
leave the county area.
Must Return Card
"Any selected 1982 gradu
ates who wish to take advan
tage of this unique counseling
program will have to get their
interview request cards back

Dr. Sampson noted, "but our
attempts to interview these
selected 1962 graduates in
their own homes will stop
about the middle of August."
to us fast," Sampson indi
cated. The 1962 local graduates
were selected by the county
high school officials, Samp
son continued, but they have
not formally continued their
education although they have
been out of high school for
over a year.
"The Oregon Program,"
Sampson said, "feels that able
students who do not secure
additional professional or vo
cational training represent a
lost national resource."
According to figures com
piled by the educational di
vision at Southern Oregon
high school students in the
county who graduated in
1962," Dr. Sampson remark
ed. "If perhaps one - half of
any high school class can do
passing college work, the 112
students who did not secure
additional training represent
an intellectual loss to Jackson
county of about 25 per cent.
In other words, our figures in
dicate that about one - quarter
of the able high school grad
uates do not get the kind of
educational training for
which their talents and abili
ties have fitted them. It is
son said, "that the Oregon
Program counselors are try
ing to prevent."
"Any individual in the area
served by Southern Oregon
college may contact us about
coollege, there were 112 Jack
son county youths from the
1962 graduating class who
were eligible for Oregon Pro
gram counseling. Ten of
these graduates have already
moved out of the county, and
at least 14 more are married.
No figures have yet been com
piled about the numbers of
selected graduates who are
now members of the armed
service, Dr. Sampson scU.

his house in Charlotte, N.C., to the city for a right-of-way,

thoroughfare in front of Conrad's home. With the law on its
side, the clly sawed Conrad's house in half, offering him
about $28,000 for the half it claimed. Conrad promises to
take the matter to court. (UPI)

By MURRAY J. BROWN
Brooklyn, N.Y.-fllPD-AImost
everybody certainly In the
United States at least has
heard about Brooklyn. But
apparently hardly anyone
wants to visit the most
famed of New York City's
five borroughs.
At least 14 million tourists
flock to New York each year
from all parts of the world
by plane, ship, train, bus and
automobile. They go sight

tan and Williamsburg the
Brooklyn-Battery vehicular
tunnel (passenger cars 25
cents) and six subway tun
nels (fare 13 cents) under the
East river.
Yet surveys show that only
one out of 10 tourists takes
the time to cross over or
under the river to Brooklyn.
While Identified mainly
with an allegedly characteris
tic speech known as "frac
tured" English, Brooklyn has
more legitimate claims to
fame that should Interest
tourists.
First of its Kind
The Brooklyn bridge was
the first suspension bridge
constructed of steel in the
United States. Opened In
1883, It was for years one of

times it was "sold" to awed
visitors by smooth-talking
swindlers.

the hamlet of Breuckelcn
around 1643. It became
known as Brooklyn after the
English move in. By 1883,
It was the third largest city
in the United States. It be

City in 1898, when its popu

one million. By 1060, there
were more than 2.6 million
Brooklynnltcs, or more than
the entire population of Los
Angeles the third largest
city according to the latest
census.

Brooklyn brought with them

cation and religious liberty.

as the world's largest.

Serve Tacoma Urged

Aeronautics Board examiner
recommended Wednesday that
West Coast Airlines be given
permanent authority to serve
Tacoma, Wash.
Chief Examiner Francis W.
Brown suid the city's new air
port now under construction,
plus an area population of
more than 383,000 warrant
direct air service.
Tacoma residents now use
tile Scattlc-Tacoma Interna
tional Airport located more
than 20 miles from the city.
The CAB originally deleted
Tacoma from West Coast's
routes because It had no air
port of Its own.
Brown rejected a move by
Northwest Airlines to require
West Coast to make at least
one stop on flights between
Tacoma and Portland and
Spokane, The examiner said
there was no evidence thai
West Coast's Tacoma service
would divert traffic from
Northwest.
