SUNDAY, JANUARY 24, 1900 HERALD AND NEWS, KLAMATH FALLS. OREGON PAGE THREE ' '- , " MATT KOHN in 1926 (with unidentified pilot) taking off for what is thought to have been the first flight ever made over the summit of Mt. Shasta. Larry French, also of Klam ath Falls, accompanied them on the 'flight and took this picture. They hoped, among other pictures, to obtain one of the base of the old geodetic monument, erected in 1875 and dislodged in 1903. The fallen monument was found again in 1912 by Matt Kohn who had climbed to the summit many times during his young manhood which was spent in the Mt. Shasta area.

Her Bell and Howell Zoomatic is the first to couple a zoom lens with the exclusive feature of switch ing from normal speed to slow motion at the press of a button. She's confident that her movie making will be a success because she tses in the viewfinder what the lens sees as it zooms from normal view to wide angle to tel sphoto and back again: And the Zoomatic uses the electric eye system pioneered by Bell and Howell for perfect exposure by auto matically adjusting the lens to changing light conditions. Deer vs. Car Over Nation CHICAGO (UPD About 80.000, deer battle it out with the modern automobile every year to pretty much of a draw. The monthly magazine Traffic Safety said deer cause an esti mated annual property loss of 12 million dollars or more in colli sions with cars. Many motorists are injured or killed in the accidents. On the other hand, last year Pennsylvania reported 12,000 deer killed in collisions, New Jersey and New York more than 5.000, Michigan more than 4,000 and Wis consin 2,470. Some tips to save the lives of deer and cut down on auto acci dents: Heed "Danger Deer Crossing' highway signs. Remember that a deer's eyes glow like the eyes of dogs, cats and raccoons. Hit the brakes if a deer dashes into the road in front of you Others of tea follow the lead deer. Switch to low beam and blow the car horn if you spot a deer in the road ahead. Deer are blind ed by bright lights. Lowering the headlights will let the animal see which way it wants to go. MICE FOR RESEARCH BAR HARBOR, Main (UPI The Roscoe B. Jackson Memorial Laboratory here breeds about 1,800.000 mice a year for research work. The laboratory's mice sales total about $r80,000 annually. A strain of mice used in muscular dystrophy research brings $8 a pair, but others sell for as little as 2S cents sack, . y Oregon Farm Bureau Will Siudy Education Plans The Oregon Farm Bureau has called an education conference to be held in Salem, February 1-2, to study the many aspects of the Oregon education system. The conference will be chaired by John Hounsell, past state sena tor and member of the education interim committee. Designed as a conference-workshop, the two-day meet will focus attention on four areas of education 1) Arc schools preparing our young people for the challenges of the future? 2 How can we get the most educa tion from our tax dollar? (3) Who should control and influence education? (4) How can the cost of needed education be equitably financed? The conference will be divided into eight workshops in order to give participants an opportunity to take an active part in the pro gram. The workshop acreas have been titled as follows: (1) What kind of education. (2) Education in what? (3) School units, how big (4) Education What to teach? (5) Education who pays How much? (6) Education who con trols and influences? (7) Teachers as keys in quality education. (8) Education what's new and good? Resource people from the pro fessional field and from lay ex perts on education will present educational views on the many aspects of the conference topics The speakers will be followed by Farm Prices Hold Steady In Oregon Prices received by farmers in Oregon and over the nation edged downward at the close of the year, b u t Oregon prices -re mamed one per cent higher than a year ago in contrast to national prices which were down 7 per cent. Lower price tags on meat ani mals and milk led the slight downward trend in farm prices in the state, reported Mrs. . EI vera Horrell, extension agricul tural economist at Oregon State College. Studying U. S. Depart ment of Agriculture reports, she found price drops for these same commodities, along with lower prices on cotton and to bacco, combined to push the na tional average lower. Partly offsetting these lower December prices received by farmers were higher prices on most vegetables, broilers, and turkeys, Mrs. Horrell said. While. prices received by farm ers slid a little, prices paid bj farmers remained steady. There was no change during December in any of the production, living, interest, taxes, or wage fate items paid by farm families, Mrs. Horrell found. Farm costs in 1959 were more stable than in any year since 1940, Mrs. Horrell noted. At the close of the year, the parity in dex the government's official yardstick of farm costs stood only one per cent above Decern ber 1958. However, the parity index re mained stable only because of a lot of balancing in the Individ ual items, Mrs. Horrell added For instance, in family living items, higher prices on used cars counterbalanced lower average food and clothing prices. And among production items, higher price tags on motor vehicles were offset by lower prices on feeder livestock, building materi als, and farm supplies. : workshop discussions of partici pants attending the meeting. An evening banquet on February I will feature an address by Llcw cln O. Griffith, administrative con sultant, Office of Public Instruc tion for the state of Washington. While no recommendations are expected to come from the con ference, it is hoped the two-day affair will provide vital informa tion for conferees to use in local study groups at home. By showing both sides of the many problems we face in the educational field, it is hoped this conference will add local interest lo solving muny of these prob lems, said Gerald Detering, OFBF president. He continued, the basis of providing the best educa tion possible has always rested on the shoulders of the local peo ple. It is therefore necesssary that people know where we stand and to plan steps they feel are in the best interest of a sound education based on our ability to pay. Each county farm bureau has been asked to send at least eight members to the workshop confer ence. The participants will then act as a nucleus for individual county programs designed to deal with the- education problem in their counties. Besides Hounsell, other mem bers of the committee arranging the conference are Mrs. Grant Henderson, Union County and Er nest Jcrnsledt, Yamhill County. flun aloon ?
