Welfare Has Busy Schedule Two hundred seventy children and 873 other cases ware on the books of the Klamath County Wel fare Commission during the month of May, it was reported at Fri day's regular monthly meeting of the welfare commissioners, pre sided over by Mrs. Richard M. Smith, chairman of the commis sion. The figure for children includes all those receiving services through the child welfare department. This Includes foster care and casework services, whether or not the com mission contributes toward the fi nancial support of the child. The other figure, which refers to cases, and not individuals, includes all instances of financial aid of some kind given under the public assis tance program. The commissioners approved a request to the state for one fourth of the $801,716 amount already cer tified to the commission as the 1958-1959 assistance budget. This sum, $200,429, will be used to cov er assistance during the period July 1 to September 30. Costs of administration are met out of a separate budget. OSBURN HOTEL EUGENE, ORE. Mra I. B. Earlr Jee tarlr It. Preprlttere Thoroughly Modera Facts than schools used to be?" There are several answers, all of which apply to some extent to our local situation. First of all. It Is well to bear in mind that the increase in expen ditures looks much less startling wnen we auow lor the deprecia tion in the value of the dollar. Our dollar today is worth only about 30 per cent of what it was in 1900. Secondly, we are educating more people. The school population is more uian nail again as large as it was in 1900. One reason is that 86.1 per cent of the present school-age population is enrolled in the schools, as compared to 72.4; per cent of the 1900 school-age population, cnild labor laws, com pulsory attendance laws a n d a growing appreciation of the value of education have all conspired to bring about this change. On top of this, the school year is longer today than it used to be. In 1900, schools were in ses sion for an average of 144 days per year. Today every state has laws which vary slightly but which require the schools to be open roughly 180 days per year; Ore gon s laws require 180. There is better attendance today than there was in the earlier days. For example, today the aver age pupil attends school 89 per cent of the time whereas his coun terpart at the turn of the cen tury had only a 69 per cent rec ord. Therefore today's pupils aver age 160 days in school while in liioo they attended only 99 days, These are the constant factors contributing to higher school ex penditures. In addition, there are certain other factors affecting schools locally that account for the apparent rise in the cost of educa tion. Other factors more closely re lated to the local and state school programs will be discussed in the next issue of the Herald and News.

TU 4-4803 Father Flies From Home In Sweden To Watch His Daughter's Graduation DUNSMUIR With commence-1 ment complications rife in many households last week, many fath ers felt they have dealt with ev erything but a trip across the North Pole. Rolf Bernston who witnessed the graduation of his daughter, Ulla. at the Dunsmuir High School Audi torium on Friday evening actually made the polar flight from Gole berg. Sweden, for the occasion. Ulla has spent the past school year attending uunsmuir nign School as a foreign exchange stu dent and was joined this week by her father, a cashier tor a con struction company in Sweden's largest seaport city. He will stay two weeks before flying home again. Ulla will return home later in the summer by boat after a trio to New York and Washington, r.C. as the concluding portion of the American Field Service foreign student exchange program. Bernston. has made himself a eracious guest of the community. He speaks hesitant but adept Eng lish and is sharing the family life of Mr. and Mrs. James. Lockart and daughters who have been Ul- la's hosts for the year. He was a guest at the Rotary Club luncheon and given a place of honor at the city council meeting. He stated both Rotary and Lions clubs are among the service groups in Swe den. As a man familiar only with big city government, he found the council meeting interesting and said Sweden's town "assemblies" are set up on much the same bas is. While the Lockarts have included Ulla in their family circle, the Bernstons have provided a home for a Hungarian refugee. Bernston said the lad who is 18 is having trouble learning Swedish but hopes to enter seaman's school next year. Ulla is scheduled to enter busi ness school in Goteberg this fall for a two year course and at least a short secretarial career, she and her father agree after ex changing smiles. Orienting is Bernston s prin cipal recreational hobby. This is cross country running trom one re mote spot to another with a map and compass but no designated route, he explained. He belongs to Fins Aid In Seasick Cure CAMBRIDGE, Mass. (AP) - Massachusetts Institute of Tech nology scientists are working on a project aimed at taxing seasicn ness out of ocean travel. MIT naval architects have con structed a scale model ship with fins at the bow much like an air Diane's wines. They related Monday night the fins are designed to reduce a ves sel's pitching motion that up and down movement of a vessel. Stabilizers below the water line amidships already have been used to reduce a ship's rolling motion. Profs. Martin Abkowitz and Philip Mandel of the instltute'i department of naval architecture said tank testings and theoretical calculations have shown the fins can reduce a ship's pitch by as much as 50 per cent. ' They have been studying the matter for six years and fins are being tested on Navy ships. The anti-pitch fins, they feel, will serve a dual purpose: Reduce seasickness and increase a ship's speed in rough weather. SUMMER SCHOOL ALL LEVELS DEDRICK PRIVATE SCHOOL 1005 Pint Ph. TU 4-4279 Do You Suffer from Sore Aching Back? Grass Catching Rotary Only 13995 one of many groups who engage! and compete in this sport. He said orienting" is popular not only in the Scandinavian countries but in Switzerland also. He was taken fishing Friday afternoon by Jim Lockart as a sample of Dunsmuir's recreational attractions. On Friday morning he attended the school award assembly where Ulla was-the only feminine mem ber of the senior class to receive Block D as an honoary mem ber of all athletic teams. Earlier this year Ulla was made an honor ary member of the National Hon orary Society for her top scholas tic work. Dunsmuir residents. Mr. and Mrs. Jack Peterson, were guests of the Bernstons as part of a cur rent European tour. Both Ulla and Bernston agree they will have much to tell mother and 14-vear old brother upon their return and Bernston like a true tourist is tak ing i color pictures of the country- iue ana una s classmates to show tne people back home. , Love bargains?
