Modoc Board Talks School Bus Plan AITURAS-Question of the re- ncwal of the John Hagerman Like ly bus contract w as under discus sion at the special meeting of the Modoc Union High School board on May 20. The board announced it is con sidering not renewing the bus con tract with Hagerman and taking over the running of a bus itself. "Since we have an extra bus with the school system, we think it is possible that it Mould be cheaper for the school to run the bus," a board member stated. The board pointed out that it now pays Hagerman $4000 a year for the contract, and it is felt the school could run the bus for $3300 a year. Upon study of the figures pre sented by the board, Hagerman reported that several items were not included in arriving at the low cost. The figures the board presented were arrived at on a basis of 39 cents a mile to run the bus, but this does not in clude an additional 25 miles per day to return the bus to Alturas each evening. Hagerman now leaves the bus at Likely each eve ning, and this cost would have to be added to the school operation. This alone would add $9.75 per day to the cost of operation. Also not included in the cost was re placement of tires. The board pointed out to Hager man that there had been some complaints as to the early hours for pick-up of the bus children. After discussion, the board admit ted it was in error' with figures estimating a possibility of saving 2 hour in the morning and '.i hour in the evening. Hagerman said it would be pos sible to pick up the children 10 minutes later in the morning, hut it would run a great risk on be ing late to school during stormy weather. Hagerman and the board estimaled the most time that could be saved safely would be ten minutes in the afternoon. Hagerman also pointed out that bus salaries have increased since last year and suggested the board use the recent year's figures of operation in making its esti mate. "I think you will find that your cost of operation has in creased considerably and will be more in line with our contract, particularly when you lake into consideration the added cost of re turning the bus each evening to the school and the cost of tires and big repairs." Hagerman said. Hagerman said when he bought the bus and took over the Likely Open House Scheduled An open house in observance of National Highway Week will be held at the Oregon Stale Highway Department's Klamath Falls offi ces and shops. 2S3S Allamont Drive, on Tuesday, May 2D. from 2 to 9 p.m. Informal guided tours will take the public through the various of fices and maintenance facilities where displays will be exhibited depicting projects and equipment of the Highway Department. On display will be one of the de partment's exact scale highway models built by the model-making src-iion in Salem. Both groups and individuals are invited to make tlic lour. The pub lic will learn the extent of High way Department operations in the area, including those of the Parks and Recreation Division. Tlie open house is being held in observance of National High way Week. May 2fi-.!une I. A total of 13 open houses in different cities around the stale is scheduled for May 23. The sites of these open houses are Port land. Milwaukic. Salem, fcugenc. Hoseburg. Coquille. Medlord. Klamalh Falls. Bend. TV Dalles. La (irande. Ontario, and Astoria run in 1960, he received a verbal understanding from board mem bers that he would be guaranteed at least a ive-year contract. "1 would never have taken over the bus and invested the $7000 dollars if I had any idea the contract was not assured for the five vears. When we took this contract, there were three years left on the pre vious nve-year contract. Our un derstanding was lhat we would have an automatic renewal of the contract at this time," he added. Mrs. Glenn Jobe, speaking as a parent Irom Pine Creek, cau tioned the board, "I wish when you consider the renewal of the Hagerman contract you would also remember tlie discipline problems aboard the bus before he took it over. Before the Hagcrmans took over the bus, the conditions on the bus were terrible with the smaller children being subjected to all sorts of abuse from the old er children. The bus was a com plete state of disorder and confu sion where now the children be have like human beings with re spect for one another and the property of the bus," she stated. John Weler made a motion to reconsider the Likely bus question before the June meeting w ith the use of this year's figures of oper ational expense." In other business, Marks Smith reported there is now a proposal to revamp the agriculture pro graming throughout the area. A scries of conferences w ill be held by the agriculture teachers in the northern counties this summer to outline courses that qualify for col lege preparatory subjects. The committee to survey the curriculum will meet before the June meeting and make a report possible future schedule changes at that time. It was pointed out that the state actually requires (our years of social studies, three years of Eng lish, four years of physical edu cation, and one year of health sci ence with drivers' education and first aid incorporated into the class. Other courses are elective, depending on the major the stu dent - aims for. Board member Bob Savage stat ed, "We should plan a course of electives that can steer a child in either a vocational or college prep field and drop categorization of the subjects." Principal Marks Smith an nounced that Robert Cicle of Fall River has been hired to replace J. D. Merridith. who has been assistant coach and PE teacher this past year. Merridith resigned.

Ethiopia (UPD An African leader charged to day that the African summit con ference had drawn an "Iron Cur tain" around discussing racial dis turbances in Alabama. He issued a protest to President Kennedy over inhuman treatment of Negroes there. Uganda Premier Milton Obotc made tlie charges in an open let ter released to newsmen as the 30 African heads of stale and government began their second summit session. He accused tlie President of "scratching an old wound with a new pen" by sending greetings to the conference Wednesday hailing African progress toward freedom and unity. He said the summit conference here has condemned racial dis crimination in Africa, but "one feels there is an Iron Curtain which has been drawn over the events lhat have been taking place in Birmingham, Ala." "Nothing is more paradoxical than that these events should take place in tlio United Slates and at a time when thai country is anxious to project i(s image before the world screen as the archetype of democracy and the champion of freedom," he added. "The eyes of the world arc on Alabama, dt is the duty of the free world, and more so of the countries that hold themselves up as leaders of that free world, to see that all of their citizens, re gardless of the color of their skin, are free." The conference delegates today took up tlie challenge by Emperor Haile Selassie to create a united Africa now, or be held guilty of having shirked their duty. Selassie opened the conference Wednesday with an hour-long call for a unified continent that would give Africa a new, powerful voice in world affairs. Informed observers said first reactions among the leaders were cautious as to whether they could adopt a charter along the lines he sketched. But it was believed lhat tlie contcrence would at least adopt the principles of the new organization. Selassie's ideas call for the gradual development of unity and not a light and binding political entity. DOWNTOWN OFFICE SPACE Inquire At GUN STORE 714 Main IF YOU NEED ADVICE ...
