Basic School Fund Not A Cure-All" For Problems 11 SALEM, Jan. 25 W) Pro ponent ol the basic school fund bill told legislators in a hearing yesterday that the bill is not a "'cure-all" for . school problems In Oregon. For one thing It was based on conditions of the past school year and was not drafted in an attempt to anticipate conditions of 1947 1948, they said. It is possible that many dis- 4 utlll hiiv in mil for ra cial tax levies in addition to aid from the bill, they acmea. These viewpoints came out In a question and answer session of the senate education commit- Adventists Attend Meet Over 200 official delegates from the northwest are attend ing the quadrennial session of . the North Pacific Union con ference of Seventh-Day Adven tists in Portland which now has a membership of 28,000 in the area.

This active duty may continue into the next fiscal year which taut Julir 1 1047 Applications should be submit ted to the district director of , naval reserve .860 Terry Ave., N., Seattle 9, Wash., or contact the navy recruiting station in the post office building in Klam ath Falls. Men in the Lakeview area interested in this program should contact the navy recruiter at the U. S. employment office each Tuesday. tee," Sen. Paul Patterson, Hllls boro, chairman of the five-man committee, said it was not time yet for debate on the bill, further clarification being needed. Dr. Carl L. Huffaker, Univer sity of Oregon School of Educa tion faculty member, gave the answers on many technical mat ters. One of these was on rural school districts left out of the equalization feature of the bill. The exolanation was that 13 east ern Oregon school districts would be left out because grants and aids provided in the bill, plus district millage, would total more than 75 cents a day lor cacti day s school membership as provided in the bill. These districts are In Baker, Gilliam, Grant, Harney, Jeffer son, Lake, Morrow, bherman. Union, Umatilla Wasco and Wheeler counties. Baker has one first-class dis trict (in the city of Baker); Lake has one, Umatilla three, Union one and Wasco one, leaving others with no help under the equalization plan. Hutiaker said tnese 13 dis tricts have 12.3 per cent of the taxable property in the state and 5.45 per cent of the pupils. All the districts, however, would re ceive grants and aids a pro vision based on $450 per teacher and 10 cents for each day's mem bership of resident pupils. It is estimated these districts will receive $460,000 under the grants and aid section. Proponents also said school equalization on a county-wide basis would be a backward step..
