OREGON CHANGE NEEDED IN EDUCATION, SAYS GRALAPP Change to a more progressive educational system is imperative to fill the needs of business and industry in the post-war period, Arnold Gralapp, superintendent of citv schools, stressed in his speech before the Lions club Tuesday noon, Gralapp stated that in 1938 there were 5,000,000 young peo ple in the nation between the ages of 18 and 24 who were un acceptable to industry because of their lack of specialized knowl edge. He pointed out the neces sity of raising the level of voca tional training to make it accept able to colleges, so that the need for highly-trained young people might be filled. , A plan for Klamath Falls schools, which would provide post-high school education for more students, was outlined by Gralapp. Under the new set-up, primarv school would include the 10th grade, and high school would continue through the 14th grade on a level acceptable to other colleges. This would greatlv increase the small per centage of students now able to go on with their education after high school. Gralapp said. Eugene Hooker was chairman at the luncheon meeting, and guests were Dick Nyland, Bill Bvan, Charles Johnson. Harry Stoler, Lawrence Shaw and A. A. Lee of Salem.

There was suspicion of a little hoarding as smokers make the rounds of the various tobacconists on days when allotments come through. Although service men in this area find cigarettes available at the post exchange, hundreds buy their smokes in town and this does not alleviate the situation for civilians, borne dealers in Klamath Falls said they figured approximately 60 per cent of their quota was going to army and navy personnel. Main street gets cigarettes on Tuesday, Wednesday and Thurs day. This means that the week end finds them without a pack on the shelves. East Main and S. 6th establishments are usually serviced Mondays. The past two weeks showed a slight let-up in the situation but wis week the signs were popping out again on the counters advis ing customers that they should look elsewhere for their cicar- ettes. One wholesaler assured the smoking public that it wasn't the dealer's fault that he couldn't meet tne demand. "The manufacturers can't get tobacco. They haven't enough labor to make the ciearettes They can't get enough paper for canons or pacKs, and they have to set aside lots for the armed services. Then the growers arc uyiiig io participate in tne lend lease program."
