Here And There
By BILL JENKINS
Some time ago I mentioned that
I had run into Tom Garratt and
Bob Norris. the Fish and Wildlife
men, on their way to Tulelake on
an errand of mercy for the birds.
Along with them, but to well hid
den on the far tide of the car that
1 didn't tee him was Jim 0 Dona
hue, probably the best known
friend of the birds in our country.
Few dayt ago I received a note
from Tom to the effect that they
picked up three crippled swans, all
of which tubsequently died, and
taw several more they were unable
to recover. They also ran into
quite a number of geese that "were
just able to become airborne and
which may live it out if the mild
weather continues."
Tom blames the biggest percent
age of the crippled geese on bar
rel stretchers who were shooting
when they had no business to be
due to the extreme range.
I might also mention that when
I found the boys, or rather when
they found me, I was parked on
a little side road flanking the state
line and right at the edge of the
bird grounds. I saw the green Jeep
alow down as it approached and
found out later that they were pret
ty sure they had a poacher, or at
least a potential one, spotted. Bob
told me yesterday that seeing pick
ups parked in auspicious places
like that obscure little path always
alerts the men who guard our
gamewayi.
Not long ago a meeting was held
In Salem regarding the lack of rest
rooms along the newly completed
Baklock Freeway between Salem
and Portland. Some people are
pretty well convinced that the
lack of facilities along this speed
way may be leading to a lot of
undue fast driving. At least a lot
of people are using that as an ex
cuse when they are picked up for
exceeding the limit.
Be that as it may the excuse is
dog-eared old one that has been
a favorite, and usually unsuccess
ful, one lor a great many years.
But for the life of me I can't
tee why anyone would, or could,
exceed the speed limit. It is set
at 70 miles per hour and I find
that I usually have trouble main
taining that speed for the whole
length of the drive. Boredom in
some people may lead to excessive
speed, or perhaps it it that a lot
of the speeders are driving cars
with several times the horsepower
of my (horseless) carriage. At any
rate, I seriously doubt if the rest
room lack Is going to prove a ma
jor hazard.
All of which leads me to remark
that over in Tillamook the National
Safeliscope Corporation is produc-
ing what they call the Hindsight
Safetl - Scope, a gadget like a pert
scope that sits on top of the car
and allows you a full view of where
you have just been.
The gadget is set in a plastic
bubble atop your car, consists of
two periscope mirrors on top and
which, by looking into two corre
sponding mirrors just to the left
of the normal rear view mirror al
lows one an unrestricted view of
the rear. Said to give a full view
of all behind up to and even ahead
of the rear bumper.
It's a wonderful world we live
in, isn't it?
for a few hours work. But he was
gored and died in Spain.
Carlos Arruza was the next
spark. He was a Mexican, and a
great matador. He ranked, in the
minds of many, with Manolete.
His peak overlapped Manolete and
Luis Miguel Dominguin in world
popularity. But Mexico was now
baseball mad and American
ityle football was introduced,
packing the stadiums. Then Ar
ruza retired and Dominguin was
banned from Mexico for insulting
officials after a controversial fight
in the plaza.
There are few outstanding mata-
dors today. The Plaza Mexico
largest bull ring in the world
has been closed for over a year
bv strike and rings in smaller
cities have operated only spas-
modically. Sometimes they don t
have fights once a month.
So until another Gaona, Mano
lete or Arruza comes along Uie
fans probably will settle for a hot
baseball game, a world title prize
fight or an international soccer
match. But once a new bullring
idol appears watch them flock
back to the arena 1
or qualify for a better paying job.

Meetings of the State Board of
Control likely will be very much
enlivened during the next few
months with many vote-appealing
speeches because all three mem
bers are active candidates for gov
ernor.
Mark Hatfield, whose expected
announcement to run came last
month, will be pitted against State
Treasurer Sig Unander for the Re
publican gubernatorial nomination.
Governor Robert D. Holmes Is
a candidate, even though he has
made no formal announcement
other than to tell newsmen last
spring that he would seek reelec
tion. However, he has appointed a
finance committee to raise hit cam
paign expenses and will probably
make hit announcement when he
files. Pitted against the governor
is former State Senator Lew Wal'
lace and Wiley Smith, Multnomah
County assessor.
From all indications the primary
campaign, to far as the governor's
race it concerned, will be spectac-
ular, and will vie with the con
gressional races in interest. March
7 Is the final day for filing.
There is need for more post-high
school area vocational schools in
Oregon, according to 0. I. Paul
son, state director. One is now lo
ca'ed in Eugene and another in
Oregon City. Day time classes are
provided for selected juniors and
seniors in the area to attend one
half day while still in high school
and adult classes in the evening.
Director Paulson points out that
there is a large segment of high
school students who do not go on
to college and to these the voca
tional classes are dedicated. Stu
dents who complete the prescribed
courses can find remunerative em
ployment. Of a total of 217 vocational cen-
ters during the last biennium 89
had classes in vocational agricul
ture, 26 in veteran on-farm train
ing; 16 in distributive education;
64 in vocational homemaking in
high schools, 82 in adult homemak
ing; 48 in trade and industrial
education, some of which are re
gional in scope and 174 in prac
tical nursing.
The department also supervises
Oregon Technical Institute which
has an average of 1,000 students
in training.
Recently the State Board of Ed
ucation authorized a state-wide sur
vey to "study the present needs
and facilities of vocational-technical
education in Oregon." This
survey is currently being directed
by Dr. W. R. Flesher from Ohio
and the results of the survey will
undoubtedly play an important
part in the future of vocational
training in Oregon. The report is
scheduled to be completed this
coming fall.

MEXICO CITV, (jn-Bullfighling
is at a low ebb in Mexico. Tourists
are about the only ones who get
very excited about what's going
on in the bull rings nowadays
Experts blame the situation
mainly on lack of real talent
among the matadors, and the poor
quality of the bulls themselves. But
there are other factors: Mexico
has some top-notch prize-fighters
now who receive the adulation
once reserved for the matadors;
and it has baseball, soccer. Amer
ican football, jai alai, and other
sports.
Back in the 1920s bullfighting
was the major sport. It was
week-long topic of conversation. It
got so bad the government banned
bullfight talk by employes while
on the job.
But the great Itudollo Gaona re
tired and interest sagged. With
the master gone, bullfighting just
wasn't the tame. A youngster
named Armillita came along and
fans caught fire again. But during
his period of popularity prizefight
ing gained in favor, football be
came a major sport, and there
were more and more movies to
lure the scarce pesos away from
the bullring.
The alltime great Manolete,
Spaniard, brought bullfighting
back to its almost fanatic enthus
iasm in the 1940s. He fought often
In Mexico, where he was paid as
Virtually 30,000 studonts are en
rolled in vocational education class
es at the present time. There are
four types of services rendered
through local school districts, un
der the direction of the State Di
vision of Vocational Education.
They include in-school program for
high school students, past-high
school classes, apprentice related
training and evening classes for
adults.
There are 10,752 students in day
classes and 19,007 enrolled in eve
ning classes. 1
Vocational education it a cooper
ative effort between the federal
government, the state, and local
school districts. Fundi are appro
priated under the federal Smith-
Hughes and the George-Borden
acts. These funds must be matched
by either the state of Oregon or
local school districts or a combina
tion of both.
High school and post-high school
classes are designed for persons
wishing to qualify for beginning
employment and the evening school
program is set up for those em
ployed persons who wish to im
prove their efficiency on the job

In addition to the voters man
uals there will be separate man
uals for election boards, the coun
ty clerks in the state, another for
sponsors of initiative and referen
dum measures and finally one for
candidates and political parties
Information in each of the man
uals it confined to that required
by the various segments of the
state's population, together with
excerpts of Oregon's election code
which also directly relate to the
specific group to which the manu
al is addressed.
Distribution of the voters' man

will ship the manuals directly to
the county clerks within the next
week, he has announced. Every
registered voter should receive
one.
ways are to cast light into dark
places have taken up the ques
tion of what has become of the
fine old name.
For me, at least, this is an im
portant personal matter. If Thom
as and its inevitable diminutive
Tom are going to die out all to
gether in time, I would like to get
the word now
If we knew, it would give all us
surviving Toms a sort of melan
choly glamor like being one of
the last of the Mohicans.
J. W. Leaver started The Times'
correspondence with a letter list
ing the most frequent Christian
names given children whose birth
or adoption was announced in the
newspaper during 1957,
Among the boys John headed the
list as it did in 1936. It was fol
lowed by David, James, Charles
Richard, William, Christopher and
so on but Thomas was nowhere
in sight.
Ernest Barker presumably a
friendly neutral since he is not one
of us subsequently wrote that
the great days for Thomas came
before the middle of the sixteenth
century.
It was one of England's leading
names soon after Archbishop
Thomas a Becket was murdered
in Canterbury Cathedral in 1170.
Barker suggested
"The name Thomas came in
with the Norman Conquest (10G6)
flourished after the martyrdom of
Becket and faded with the Refor
motion.
According to his theory the
name has a medieval ring
many modern ears. Name a kid
Thomas, then, and his friends will
wonder where he left his sword
and prancing charger.
Presumably the falling off in the
name is about the same on both
sides of the Atlantic even though
Americans have Thomas Jeffer
son, one of the great founding
fathers, and the English have Sir
Thomas More, lord chancellor,
scholar, author and wit who was
executed in 1535.
Thomas Bodkin, a true member
of this vague fraternity of Toms,
showed how things have gone re
cently in this letter to The Times':
"The name Thomas has usually
been borne by some member of
my own family since the Bodkins
took their place among the twelve
tribes of Galway in the twelfth
century. If I am asked why 1
have failed to maintain this tradi
tion I can only reply that my wife
demurred to having any of our
five daughters christened Thorn
asina, and I hoped until it was
too late that they might have had
a brother.
"All five are now the mothers
of sons, not one of whom is a
Thomas.

Fading Thomas
By THOMAS OCHILTREE
LONDON -If your Christian
name It Thomas, do you some
times get the uneasy feeling that
you are a member of a dying
tribe?
Aren't you sometimes surprised,
as I am, that you so seldom meet
another person with the same
name?
Go to any cocktail party and you
run into three or four Bobs and as
many Bills, but how often do you 'more relaxed
see another Tom.'
After all it's an ancient name
the name of one of the Apostles.
Every language in Christendom
has its form of the name.
But do people in the English
speaking world call any of their
boy children Tom any more?
