WYNNE What are teacher's rights in re gard to the State Legislature Friday of last week the Oregon Education Association filed initia tive petitions bearing about 60,0(to signatures with the secretary of state's ollice in Salem. The initiative would amend the Oregon constitution to permit teachers and school board mem bers to retain their legislative seats while also meeting their pub lic school responsibilities. The actual amendment up ,for vote reads in part, "Notwithstand ing the provisions of Section 1 Ar ticle III and Section 10 Article II of the constitution of the state of Oregon, a person employed by the State Board of Higher Educa tion, a member of any school board or employe thereof, shall be eligible to a seat in the Legisla tive Assembly and such member ship in the Legislative Assembly shall not prevent such person Irom being employed by the Slate Board of Higher Education or from being a member or employe of a school board." There are some points in this amendment and its intentions which should be thoroughly clari fied for the general public. First of all, let's clarify one im portant point . , . teachers can and do serve in the State Legis lature. There is no law on the bonks or constitutional provision that prevents them Irom serving In the Legislature. What then does this amendment hope to accomplish? It hopes to permit such a teach er or employe to retain his job while serving in the Slate Legis lature. Certainly that point is commend able, but it does present compli cations. As it is now, the courts have demanded that a teacher either not be teaching when he accepts the legislative post, or resign the post when he accepts a leaching job or a job of the State Board of Higher Education. The constitution drafters appar ently wanted to further ensure that persons employed by state agencies or directly or indirectly answerable to some part of the state government, should not be serving in a legislative capacity while still attached to such agen cies. Schools come under this classifi cation since school support money is supplied by the state, and since the schools come under the rigid standards and control of the State Board of Higher Education. In some respects, it would be much the same as permitting a teacher to teach in the system and serve on the school board of that system at the same lime. In ef fect the teacher Vould then be both employe and employer. This would hcpcrloelly all right were it only his own money which he was spending, but it happens to he the public's money. "i Then there is the big question of how a teacher could work for both the Legislature and in a school at the same time. Teachers arc hired on annual contracts. Suppose a school hoard hired a teacher who was elected to the Legislature. What would happen to bis yearly contract. Would provision be made that his pay would be stopped lor the period of no to Km days when he would not he available to leach.' Would the teacher, it on an an nual contract, he required to se cure an acceptable substitute and pay him out of his contract men . ey, or just what arrangement would this entail'.' This is a mighty tinpiirlanl point, because it appears to be the crux of the entire proposed amendment to the constitution. Let me repeat, teachers can nerve in (he l.egislaluie at the constitution now reads. The only requirement u that thry sever their whool coiinoctioni h i I r dcuiuf so.

That's the best beauty formula I know. Don't smother your own personality. Think of it as an asset worth cultivating, make its de velopment part of the joy of liv ing. Be an original. Find, study and be yourself. There's excitement in discover ing your own individuality and de veloping it. Every wonan is in stinctively the best judge of her own possibilities. But instinct needs instruction, and every wom an can learn to interpret what she sees in the mirror and to make the most of it. I always have a full-length three-way mirror on the set when 1 am working before the camera. I consult it frequently, especially the side and back views. The cas ual studio visitor might interpret these consultations as evidence of personal vanity, but a very false interpretation it would be. The mirror is there solely as a mat ter of business. Looking my best is essential to my job. And 1 have found as you, too, con find that the mirror and I are my severest and best critics. Lipstick carelessly applied, strand of hair out of place, a hal that is even a fraction of an inch awry these are little details that might escape the eye of the make up man, the director even the cameraman. But any one of them can be destructive to the mood of the scene. Recognize and value the good features. Really look at yourself in the mirror, then put on your best dress. Ask yourself if that dress Is friend or foe. Does it do anything for you? It so, good, then it is your friend. When you wear that best dress to a party, you'll feel happy and conlident. satisfied with your ap pearance Not only your clothes your hairdo and makeup also must be psychologically satisfying. Your personality needs to be attended to as well as your external appear anec. Remember first things first: the woman before the dress, vitality before beauly. Remember that without vitality, your hair will lack luster, your skin won't glow your eyes can't sparkle. Your foe isn't just an exposure of skin and topographical feature, to be pow dered, eye - shadowed and lip- slicked The best advice t received came from Colleen Moore. It was my turning point. I showed up at the studio one morning, my face practically weighed down with heavy makeup. Colleen looked at me and said crisply: "do home and wash your face." Six words. A lesson I've never forgotten. Hairdo and makeup can be dra matic accomplices to your sell interpretation. Find your own spe cial quality. Let your mirror talk rulhlully to you If you're content, Narcissus-like. just to gaze upon your image in the mirror either with satislac- tion of self-pitying resignation shame on you. SluM-kcr By LOl'IS CASSELS I'niled Press International WASHINGTON' HIM' - Some where in America, in the next lew weeks, newspapers will corrv a headline that will shock many readers. It ill say. in el led Rl(f iborla,.' forces local hos- Poqo fa. AT, j3 X s B4 NMfl jpitals to suspend all operation: except emergencies. "It happens every summer," ai official of the American Red Cross explained. "The regular donors go away on vacation and the supply of blood falls off. Then the hospitals encounter an un usual run of accidents or surgical cases, and the regional blood bank finds its reserve stocks drop ping to the danger point." The Red Cross usually is able to meet Uie crisis by appealing through newspapers and broad casting stations for blood donors to come on the run. And if the worse comes to worst, the tem porarily bankrupt blood bank can borrow an emergency supply from another regional center. But the perennial recurrence ol these shortages demonstrates the narrow margin that always exists between the amount of blood that hospitals need, and the amount that healthy Americans are will ing to give through the Red Cross and other agencies. Even a temporary interruption of supply at the giving end can be serious. Blood can be stored only 21 days before the red cells deteriorate. Alter that it can be used to produce blood fractions such as plasma and gamma glob ulin. But it is useless for whole blood transfusions. -Keeping the life line filled has become one of the major respon sibilities of the Red Cross since its civilian blood program was inaugurated 10 years ago. Through its 51 regional blood centers, the Red Cross collects about 40 per cent of all the blood used in hospitals. The rest is col lected by the hospitals them selves, by community blood banks operaled by non-profit agencies .other than the Red Cross, and by commercial blood banks. Commercial banks charge from $25 to about $nn a pint for blood. The average price is about S35 a pint. These banks collect blood from paid donors. The Red Cross never charges a penny for blood. This statement. ollen made and often challenged. requires some explanation. It costs the lied Cross about $6 a pint to collect and distribute blood, even though the blood itself is giyen free by volunteer donors. The money goes to pay nurses and doctors who staff the blood centers, for bottles, syringes and other equipment, and for the pro cessing, storage and transporta tion of the blood. A few cents of it goes for the fruit juice with which donors are plied before they bare their arins. and for the doughnuts and colfee that await them when they finish. For the past several years. hospitals in many pads of the country have been underwriting part of the collecting cosls. The rest is paid by the lied Cross out of the funds contributed bv the American public ill its annual ap peal. Hardly a day passes, however without some outraged citizen getting the idea that the Red Cross is running some kind ol racket with its blood program. What outrages the citizen is the discovery that a hospital has billed him for a blood translusion. The explanation, which the Red Cross patienlly oilers over and over, is that the blood itself is free. But the Red Cross has control over any charge that hospital may make for adminis tering it.

But the conference says it with a minority dissent attached. In approving a resolution call ing for the admission, the confer ence Thursday added that "safety and well-being of refugees from th- Chinese Communist dictator ship, especially in Formosa" should he safeguarded. A Salem attorney, Ervin Pot ter, said if it is necessary to have a protective phrase in the resolu tion asking for recognition, Red China is not ready for member ship. Max McMillcn. Grants Pass, opposing admission, said the pur pose of keeping China out of the U.N. was to demonstrate opposi tion to enslavement of people of the world. But the Rev. Horace H. Mounts, Bcaverton, countered it was time to stop buying heads in the sand. "Other nations are going to move ahead and face this issue," he said, adding it will lead to healthy exchange of ideas. The Rev. Norman Thomas. Portland, said other anti-Christian nations are in the U.N. The conference, which closes Friday with ministerial assign ments, got a minority report on the U.N. question which said more study and prayer should precede Red Lbtnas admission. Support of Sunday business closure and support of the activi ties of Protestants and Other Americans United for Separation of Church and State were voted. 1 1 .10 j i - - (aolf.

"The strategy of communist im perialism," he said, "involves the subversion of country alter country until the United Slates is isolated and subject to economic strangu lation." Dulles was before the Senate Finance Committee, urging a five-year extension of the trade agreements act which expires this month. The act authorizes the President to negotiate tariff reductions in order to stimulate trade. Dulles said the trade agreements pro gram, together with the U.S. for eign aid, constitute "our basic answer" to Soviet Premier Khrushchev's economic warfare challenge.

By MARILOU O'CONNOR These days we're all conscious of money and of getting the most lor the money we spend. Before we buy almost anything, we look for a guarantee, for an ac cepted seal of approval, for a fa miliar brand name for some thing which tells us the product is what it proposes to be. So it is with education. Because a large portion of our tax dollar is spent , on education, we, the taxpayers, want to be sure that we are getting our money's worth. Here, our guaran tee is a standard. This means sim ply that certain requirements are being met by our school systems. The Klamath Falls city schools are evaluated on the basis of stan dards set up by the Oregon State Board of Education every five years. The high school, in addi iion. is evaluated annually by the Northwest Association of Secon dary and Higher Schools. These standards deal with such items as buildings, library and laboratory facilities, length of the school year, the number of teachers and their qualifications, graduation re quirementsthe external qualities that make for a good school. A system must meet these re quirements in order to operate a standard school. The requirements are upgraded annually, with a view to provid ing better and better education as society demands more and more from the schools. For those stu dents who plan to attend college, graduation from a standard school most necessary. Graduation from a school which meets state standards allows the student, pro viding his grades meet approval, to attend any of the state col leges or universities. The Northwest Association appro- Czechs Hold U.S. Soldier ; PRAGUE, Czechoslovakia (AP Czechoslovak authorities notK fied the U.S. Embassy here Frl; day they are holding in custody an American soldier missing sinca June 10. . The soldier. M. Sgt. James E. Cole. 34. Connellsville, Pa., disap peared while fishing with a reli alive of his Austrian-born wif in a river which forms part of lha Austrian-Czechoslovak border. I The Czechs' acknowledgement that they are holding Cole com firmed suspicions of Austrian po lice that he had been seized by communist border guards. The Czechs did not Inform tha embassy what charges they have against Cole, but it was believed they would place espionagS charges, which is customary in such cases. Diplomats said the Czeea did not say where they are holding Cole but said the sergeant is in good health. His release may lane soma time, U.S. officials said, adding: "The next step in gaining his re lease will be taken by the Stata Department from Washington." Cole was stationed with Amerl can forces in Munich, West Germany. vat gives the graduate the right with adequate grades, to attend any college or university in the country; this is the result of a re ciprocal agreement between the Northwest Assocstion and the oth er five regional associations which blanket the country. Klamath Union High School, a standard school by Northwest Association requirements, has graduates in schools all over the country. No KU student is disqualified, on the basis of his high school, from registering in any college or uni versity in the United States. The student who does not plan to at tend college profits as well. Grad uation from a standard high school means that his high school diploma is recognized as meaning he has fulfilled certain definite require ments of education. He is accepted as having studied certain subjects, and passed them successfully. This may mean the difference between a job with a future and a job that is a dead end. Klamath Union High School has been accredited by the Northwest Association since 1921. i Over the years, operating a stan dard high school in Klamath Falls has cost the taxpayer more than operating a sub-standard school But the standard schools carry certain guarantees. . The student who has put in four years of his time at a standard school has a guarantee that his high school di ploma is recognized: the taxpay er has a guarantee that he is get- ling wnat he is paying tor good education; and the city has the guarantee that its schools are meeting educational requirements. and its children are profiting from the tax money spent on schools, ft costs money to operate any school, and it costs more to oper ate a standard school. It is money well spent by the community.
