THIS STRIKING CANOPY coven the walk linking the gymnasuim at Staarns School fo
ha body of tha classroom building. It typifies the gaiety which color and design have
created at this newest of Klamath County schools.
CORRIDORS are brightened by the use of colors and ad
mittance of generous quantities of daylight. Grim halls
that made old fashioned schools forbidding are abolished
here.
CLASSROOMS once consisted of desks keeping four walls apart. Now they are de
signed in various shapes, sizes and colors, with space for clothes and lunches, with tur
faces at various levels.

PORTLAND, Ore. (AP) - Some

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.

Building May Prove Joy
To Viewers, Taxpayers
By LAMAR HOOVER
The newest school in the Klam
ath County School District, named
for Orson A. 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

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.
Medical science has made great strides In the study
and treatment of heart conditions. New, with early
and proper treatment, a person with heart trouble can
still live a long and active life.
It you have any symptom af heart condition,
