DO YOU CALL THAT IN­
EFFICIENCY ?
A few months ago the publicity
given the sale of a small piece of
school property would imply to the
public that a grave crime had been
commited by your school board. The
facts are that the board may have
erred in their manner of selling but
most certainly not from a financial
standpoint beneficial to your district.
My information is that the property
involved cost a very small sum and
was sold for many times as much and
at the same time was putting back
on the tax rolls a property valuation
that will return to your district ip
school taxes alone each year the orig­
inal cost of the property. IS THIS
INEFFICIENCY TOO?
There was another odd item appear­
ing in your paper a few weeks ago.
It was a notice on the front page
pretending to state "Who Can Vote".
Part of a line in this notice reads,
‘any duly registered voter, who is a
resident In the district can vote in any
school election.’ Why this mislead­
ing statement? A feeble attempt of
correction was made later. The laws
on the matter are as available to you
as they are to a school board. How
much simpler it would have been to
have stated in part,—“any legal voter
who has been registered at least 30
days and has been a resident contin­
uously within the district six months
immediately prior to the election—”
may vote. Maybe you did not want
the public to understand it clearly.
Another matter you are apparently
set to defeat is a school bond issue
to be voted on August 8 at Mill City.
Why don’t you inquire of county
school authorities why this bond
money may be necessary? Do you
know that Oregon school laws say a
district must maintain a standard
school to share in the State equaliza­
tion program? Do you know that a
standard school cannot have more
than 30 students per teacher per
room ?
My information is that your Mill
City school was crowded and over the
standard allowed at the close of the
last school term.
In this case it
should be clear to you that the addi­
tional rooms are needed. If you de­
feat your school bond issue your dis­
trict stands to lose many thousands
of dollars paid by other districts to­
ward the support of your own dis­
trict, and in such case your tax
burden will be much higher than if
the bond issue is passed. If you are
honestly for better schools and edu­
cation you will get more detailed in-
| formation and stress the necessity of
| the bonds your school board asks for.
As for the rumor your school board
I has misused school funds; it is ridic-
| ulous and absurd. Ask the State or
| county school offices how possible

Case of Champagne vs. Coke:
Fifty Million Frenchmen Wrong
The thought behind the "Keep
Green’ program was to get the
public, not just forest landown­
ers, interested in protecting
America’s great resource. The
constantly improving fire record
in the narion since 1941 is proof
the general public is becoming
aware that forest fires must be
reduced in order to safeguard
the thousands of jobs men and
women hold with the wood­
using industries
Surveys of causes of forest
fires reveal that nine out of ten
are man-caused. The others are
started by lightning. But the
man-caused fires are preventable.

Green" Committees comes in.

‘KEEP GREEN’ PROGRAM REDUCES
MAN-CAUSED FOREST FIRES
The men who got together
in the State of Washington in
1941 to work out a new type of
program of forest fire preven­
tion little dreamed that their
adapted slogan, "Keep Washing­

imagination of people all over
the nation and soon develop into
"Keep America Green." Today,
26 states have "Keep Green”
programs, with millions of resi­
dents on the alert to keep fires
out of wooded areas.
