IO'»* School News m w w m w v iw w w w w » BONNEVILLE SCHOOL NEWS The school yard is fast taking on a homey appearance under the guid ance of our efficient janitor, Mr. Stubbs. There being at present no funds for landscaping, teachers, par ents and pupils have brought shrubs, plants and seeds, and Mr. Stubbs may be seen at all odd hours making rock borders and spading up beds in which to plant them. The third and fourth grade room celebrated Arbor Day last Friday by holding a little ceremony beside the flower bed in the front driveway, and planting there a bush of the wild azalia, a beautiful flowering shrub, native to Southern Oregon. The parent shrub of this came from Myhtle Creek several years ago, and has bloomed profusely in Hood River since that time. Around the shrub are borders of violets, iris and pan sies. On Thursday of last week the lower four grades made a pilgrimage to the dairy farm at Dodson, owned • CONVENIENCE SET . . . T h ree dishes o f Norbake oven ware.

Topic Named For Essay Competition Hang a bag of whole mustard in the vinegar and it will soon clear. “ Wings Across America” is the subject of a nation-wide school con test announced today by Postmaster Margaret Calendine who has just re ceived copies of the rules and regu lations governing this contest. The essays are to be based on the pro gress, dependability and future pos sibilities of this method of modem communication. Postmaster Calendine will furnish the Principal of the Cascade Locks High School with a supply of the rules and regulations governing this contest which will, without doubt, create more interest in aviation than has ever been known in the nation as every high school pupil in Amer ica has an even chance to win one of more than a hundred valuable prizes, including some fifty airplane trips to Washington, Hollywood, or Miami. Every high school pupil, or those having high school curricula in Cas cade Locks, is urged to enter this contest. There will be at least two prizes for the winners in every state of the Union. The first state prize will be an airplane trip from the winner's nearest airport to Washing ton and return. The second state prize will be a trophy awarded by the Oregon Air Mail Week Campaign Approve District Tax At the rate hearings it was gen erally agreed that public power dis tricts should pay a fair share of the taxes. The maximum amount sug gested was 10% of the gross income. "While a normal tax might be con sidered proper,” Ross said, “ it is objectionable to make cities or coun ties tax-free at the expense of light and power, as 87 eastern cities are doing.” Both Administrator R o s s and Claude L. Draper, Federal Power Commissioner, expressed their satis faction with the rate hearings. “ The presentation of the wishes of the people was very intelligent,” Ross said. "The fact that there are so few people expert in rates made the presentation still more remarkable. I am deeply gratified with this first series of rate hearings, and I think the people welcome the chance to tell us—for the first time—what they thought they should pay for power.” Committee. The essays of pupils winning a trip to Washington and return will be entered in a National Contest in which the winner will be given an airplane thip with expenses paid for five (5) days from Washington to Hollywood, for those living east of the Mississippi River, (or to Miami.
