(AP) - Some ISO million dollars Is beine spent annually or tranquilizers for ex cited or disturbed animals, the Oregon Veterinary Medical Assn was told Friday. Dr. E. C. Stone, dean of vet crinary medicine at Washington State College, said the tranquil izers have been helpful in treat ing dogs that bite, bark too much or get car sick. PLENTY OF LIGHT but no outside distractions Is the rule in Stearns' 30-desk classrooms. Glare and excessive heat are avoided because sunlight comes only through high-level windows. This is Blanche Montgomery's fourth grade class, nearly full, like most of Steams' rooms. :il ' f-k ) i WImI i Iff I TTf w5 fSr ,2, f -- i i T iii i mi i ...

Stearns, Klamath County pioneer, is a delight to the eye and may also prove to be a boon lo the taxpayer. Located at Laverne Avenue and Crest Street, the school, designed by Morrison and Howard, archi tects, was built by the Broster hous Construction Cotnpany at a total cost of about $300,000. If the ,nPt nr uinrb nn thp nnpn areas is excluded from this amount, the 2H.0OO square teel mat are cov ered prove to have cost an aver age of approximately $10 each. A number of schools in this area have been built in recent years at higher figures than this. v.b at far hark as 1946. one county school cost something like $12 a square foot. Stearns is the end-product of an intensive effort for economy, in wnicn tne arcni tects investigated many new prod ucts.

Economy was also helped by having plenty of House Follows Senate Lead On Housing WASHINGTON (AP) The House Saturday appeared to be fol lowing the Senate's lead on a hous ing program less money than Democratic sponsors propose, more money than President Ei senhower wants. The House Banking Committee will consider a $2,100,000,000 bill approved by one of its subcom mittees Friday. In two weeks, the committee may have the bill ready for action in the House. Here is how the bill stacks up against other Dills and proposals: 1. It is less than Rep. Albert Rains (D-Ala) originally proposed. His bill listed loans and grants of about three billion dollars. 2. It is less than the bill passed by the Senate Thursday night. that bill authorized $2,675,000,000. 3. It is more than President Ei senhower has requested. He asked for a bill of about $1,600,000,000. Actually the difference between the bils lot the House subcommit tee and the Senate may not be as great as it appears. The House previously approved a separate housing bill covering loans to vet erans. The Senate includes that feature in its over-all housing bill. In Its veteran loan bill, the House provided 300 million dol lars. The Senate included 150 million for that purpose in its bill. land on hand (there is room to add four more classrooms to the 12 already built), and by sticking to one-story construction. The generous use of wood should win the approval of residents of this area, whose lives are so close ly tied to the timber industry. Wood has not oily been used in quantity, but also to great esthet ic advantage. Some of it is paint ed, some is varnished; all is light and cheerful. Special features incorporated in the school include an abundance of storage space always wanted in a school, ultra automatic heat ing, and "the best feachers' room ever developed in this county," according to Principal Max Mar vin. Eleven of the school's 12 class rooms are now in use, with a total enrollment of 307 pupils. The maximum class size is 32, and the minimum 25, but the rest run very close to 30. Each of these classrooms give onto its own paved patio, outside the building. Each patio is bor dered on one side by grass, and on another by a small flower plot that will be maintained by the pupils.
