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.

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.

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.

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

Dunsmuir residents. Mr. and
Mrs. Jack Peterson, were guests
of the Bernstons as part of a cur

Bernston agree they will have
much to tell mother and 14-vear
