Article VIII, Section 3, Constitution of the State of Oregon. When the Oregon Constitution was adopted in 1859, "common schools" were regarded pri marily as elementary schools. As time passed, and educational requirements increased, the phrase also was applied to high schools. The time may come when the burgeoning community colleges will also be regarded as "common schools," but that day has not yet arrived- The community colleges, thus far, have been set up by individual school districts or special education districts, and largely financed from local property taxes. But the legislature enacted the laws which made them possible, and to an ever-greater degree voted state funds to help support them. V IN THE wake of the Oct. 15 lax referendum election, and the resulting financial crisis for the state, it has been necessary to cut down on virtually all kinds of state spending (except for that from dedicated funds). Schools and higher education, simply be cause they constituted the largest portion of the general fund budget, have been hit hard. The State Board of Education, which has jurisdiction over both elementary schools and the community colleges, is in the uncomfortable position of having to decide where cuts shall be made in state school-support programs. Some have favored selective cutting; others have favored across-the-board cutting. if priorities in cuts are to be made, (and it would appeal' that this should be done, rather than letting all programs suffer equally,) we believe the community colleges should bear the brunt of the cuts. MOT only docs the state have the constitutional ' duty of supporting "a uniform and general system of common schools," which does not yet include community colleges, It is also true that the "common schools" involve a far greater num ber of students, and at an even more crucial, time of their lives. The community college system is not yet fully developed, and, desirable as such colleges are, it would be better to cut back on their rapid development than to cause undue restrictions in the operation of the elementary and high schools of the slate. Community colleges are at least one partial answer to the crisis in education, and in years to come we hope they come into their own. But, when the voters say ''no" to added tax revenues, something must give. Better the new colleges than the long-established and vital school sys tems. E. A. Dim Future for Drop-Outs On a recent plane trip, we chanced to be sealed beside a man who was one of two part ners operating a firm in Ihe Seattle area which manufactures communications and electronic equipment. The firm is small in comparison to such giants as Western Electric and others, hut still it em ploys a considerable number of people, and has its own research and development department, which hits come up with some successful units. During our conversation, our new friend made one remark thai we wish every high school student in the nation could have heard. He said : "I've found through experience that 1 cannot afford to hire anyone who has not at least gradu ated from high school." rplllS, multiplied tinv of the youngster who, for whatever reason, leaves school without finishing ii. They face a bleak future. More and more, employers are refusing to hire anyone without an adequate education. And this applies not only to skilled jobs, but ANY jobs. Our seat-mate said he wouldn't even hire a man for janitorial duties unless he had had some education. And he added that the intelligence and ambition implicit in graduating from high school are the bare minimums he requires for till employees. : -"PIUS situation, here 1 of education and s! prospective employers. For those without incuts, there simply will be no place to go. j There is a nationwide campaign designed lo I seek out prospective school drop-outs and per suade them to continue their schooling.

A., and the people who read my letters, may I take this opportunity to wish every one a Merry Christmas. Ordinarily at this time of the year 1 would be in my kitchen preparing all kinds of goodies to give to my friends and relatives. But this year a large piece of green fir wood fell on my foot, so 1 am having to sit with my foot in hot water part of the time and propped up the rest of the time. To me, receiving goodies from someone's kitchen is the best thing thai can happen at Christ mas, and I love to make goodies and give to ones 1 know who live alone. Since I am one of those people who put off Christmas shopping until Ihe last, that won't get done this year. I have a zillion things to be thankful for. Merry Christmas!

LWOIAGE .MAKERS Speaking oi words, as I was recently, reminded me that the finest coiners of names and choosers of words have rarely been poets or literary figures, but peasants and country-folk generally. Looking through a garden book the other evening, I was struck wilh the differences between the names of flowers as given by country people and as given by botanists or classicists. The unconsciuos poetry of the peasant has more charm, truth and vividness than the contrived allusions of the poet or the scholar. What literary man would have thought of naming such Eng lish wiltl flowers as Forget-me-not, Heart's ease, Love-in-a mist, Miepnern s purse, i.euiuoc-.s, ,uoni;s-noon, aim lovc-iics oicenmg: ! 11 was some :i eu.ii minis rustle geniuses wllo lu st (liougllt of .lark-iu-ilie-iiiilpil.

Official statements have been guarded but from the first mo ment that it was learned lim ited units of the powerful 7th would visit Indian Ocean waters Security Is "jj A Wet Blanket By Arthur Hoppe fStwf j Having a government to pro tect you from evil certainly makes you feel secure. My Gov ernment protects me from evil nations abroad and evil men at home. And more lately it even tries to protect me from me. The trend isn't new. For years, the Government has tried to protect me from being a wastrel. It now has compulsory Social Security to make me put away for my old age and com pulsory withholding taxes to make me save up for a rainy day. Which it thoughtfully pro vides every April 15. So I'm now more secure. And the Government kindly wishes me to wear a seat belt and quit smoking. All over the country laws are in the works to make scat belts in cars compulsory. Of course, if I get in a wreck, my seat belt won't help anybody else. But it'll protect me. And natu rally my Government wishes to protect me from my own care lessness. And now it yearns to make me quit smoking. You can tell. Everywhere the Government is appointing committees and study groups to gather data so it can inform me smoking's bad for me. Which I already know. And, sure enough, some eager legislator will demand a law taking my cigarettes away from me. For my own good. Because, he'll say, I'm not strong enough lo quit on my own. And, alas, it's all loo true. For, woe, I'm a careless, spineless spendthrift. But. I ask, is my Government protecting me enough from me? For ex ample, there's no doubt I eat too much. Where is my Govern ment. I want to know, when second helpings are passed around? A simple law limiting caloric intakes would do won ders for mv longevity. And another thing, I hate to wear galoshes.

Indian Prime Minister Jawa harlal Nehru who has just con cluded talks on Indian defenses with Gen. Maxwell D. Taylor, chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff, denied that U.S. fleet movements in the Indian Ocean "power vacuum" had any prom inent part in their talks. Reports of such fleet move ments have aroused controversy in India and the curiosity of Pakistan, which as a U.S. ally in SEATO, demands the right to know of changes in U.S. strategy. Nehru said that so far as he knew only "one or two ships" Doesn't my Government care? Why have we no Galoshes Law? And what about my tendency to stay up too late? My inability to budget my paycheck? My ab ject failure to brush my teeth after every meal? There's no question that if my Government doesn't step in soon, I'll be the death of me yet. For I, like many a human being, am a self-indulgent, self destructive profligate. And yet, oddly enough, I resent my Gov ernment telling me so. Come to think of it, it's none of their business. True, we individuals form Governments to protect ourselves from others. And oth ers from us. But 1 say it's my inalienable right to protect my self from me. Or to try. 'ndeecl, if you ask me, this is the es sence of individual freedom. Besides, when it conies lo carelessness, profligacy and waste, I think my Government's got its hands full with itself. Bellringers Plan Contest Saturday The annual contest between the Medford Rotary and Ki wanis Clubs to help the local Salvation Army collect funds for Christmas will be held in Medford tomorrow. Members of each club man Salvation Army kettles in the downtown and Medford Shopping Center areas, with the presi dent of the club which receives the largest amount pushing the president of the losing club around a block in a wheel barrow. Officials of the Rotary Club said C. C. Hoover, Eagle Point rancher, has donated small, potted trees to the Rotary Club to distribute to contributors. The trees may be used as Christmas trees, then planted after the holidays, club offi cials noted. The trees will include firs, blue spruce and other varieties. Bellringers from the Rotary and Kiwanis Clubs will man the kettles 2 p.m. between 10 a.m. and Attempt To Free Freighter Planned POINT ARGUELLO, Calif. (UPl) A fourth attempt to free Ihe grounded 10.000-ton Greek freighter Ellin will be! made Saturday with the arrival ' of a salvage tug from Astoria Ore. For the third day in a row, efforts Thursday lo remove the marooned S3 million vessel from a sand bar here were unsuccess ful. The 203 - foot Salvage Chief from Astoria will utilize its kedge anchors and winches and a greater power to try to re lease the ship from the shallow water. It may be that the 508-foot ship cannot be freed until Dec. 27 because lowering tides con tinue to make rescue operations more difficult. The Ellin, wilh 32 men aboard, went aground Monday.
