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

These are the two danger points

By LOHETTA YOUNG
NEW YORK (AP)-To thine
own self be true.
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

WASHINGTON' HIM' - Some
where in America, in the next

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.

Red China Nod
PORTLAND (AP) Red China
should be admitted to the U.N
the Oregon Methodist Conference
says.
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

Dulles Warns
On Red Move
WASHINGTON (API Secre
tary of Stale Dulles told Congress
Friday it would be reckless to
take lightly Russia's threat of eco
nomic warfare against the United
States.
"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.

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 Czechs' acknowledgement

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.
