The state department of edu­ cation is preparing a 90-minute in-service program to be televised on Channels 7 and 10 at 1:00 p.m., PST, on Thursday, August 30, and rebroadcast at 1:00 p.m., PST, on Wednesday, September 5. The program is being developed at the suggestion of the state advi»ry committee on ETV and radio as a means of reaching all teachers and administrators in the viewing area of the state educational television network and as a means of spread­ ing farther the services of the de­ partment staff in the days just prior to the opening of shcools. The program theme is “What’s New in ’62 for Oregon Schools?” Dr. Minear will lead members of the state department of education profesional staff in presenting in­ formation on such topics as the leadership role of the state de­ partment of education in Oregon education, the Oregon progam, certification, curriculum trends, methods of staff utilization, new teaching tools, ways of classroom organization, and possibly school buildings. Content of the program will be directed particularly to elementary and secondary teach­ ers and administrators. GEMS OF THOUGHT ADVICE Advice is like snow; the softer it falls the longer it dwells upon, and the deeper it sinks into the mind. —Samuel Taylor Coleridge Harsh counsels have no effect: they are like hammers which are always repulsed by the anvil. —Helvetius We give advice by the bucket, but take it by the grain. —W. R. Alger Don’t follow any advice, no mat­ ter how good, until you feel as deeply in your spirit as you think in your mind that the counsel is wise. —David Seabury Oregon upland game bird hunt­ ers as well as bird enthusiasts will like a new 44-page bulletin on Oregon's upland game birds, both native and exotic, just off the press. Prepared by W. V. Masson and Robert U. Mace, upland game bird technicians for the game commission, the bulletin covers the history of upland game birds in Oregon, the information and man­ agement program, and a descrip­ tion and life history of each spe­ cies. Illustrations are by artist Har­ old C. Smith. The bulletin is published by the Oregon Game Commission, 1634 S. W. Alder in Portland and may be obtained from this agency free of charge.

Pit barbecue beef provided by the association was pronounced delicious by most everyone as they returned for second helpings. The pit for barbecuing was dug Sat­ urday morning by Ron Hein, Scap­ poose, and Elmer Loyd, Deer Is­ land. Wood for the pit was fur­ nished by Jack Crawford, Mist, and Harry Kem, Deer Island. Meat was placed in the pit about 1:00 a.m. Sunday morning and taken out shortly after noon. Carving was done by Jess Lewis, Clatska­ nie. Following the picnic, Ivan Jones of KGW-TV, acted as master of ceremonies for the program. Mrs. Harry Kem showed a purebred Quarterhorse, explaining some of the features of horses in general and pointing out the strong points of the breed, as well as the his­ tory of its development. Dick Magruder, Clatskanie, told of the origin of Shropshire sheep and used one of his registered lambs to illustrate the features of the breed. Dick also showed a Duroc pig and related some ol the recent developments in hog breeding. J. F. Lewis, vice president of Oregon’s Cattlemen’s association, explained the work of the Oregon Beef Council and the ten cents per head on cattle going to slaugh­ ter used to finance this program. Lewis urged all cattle owners to leave such deductions with the Beef Council rather than asking for refunds. Details of the picnic were car­ ried out by Kay Van Natta, assoc­ iation president, and the board of directors, with wives of board members assisting in serving.

The gathering is the “Courag­ eous Ministers District Assembly" of Jehovah’s Witnesses, expected to attract upwards of 6000 dele­ gates to Longview for throe days of intense ministerial instruction August 3-5. Mr. Hillsberry, an ordained min­ ister of Jehovah’s Witnesses since 1942, currently serves as assistant to the presiding minister of the lo­ cal congregation. The local dele­ gate will be accompanied by his wife Doris. The climax of the Longview as­ sembly will be the public talk on Sunday, August 5, by a represen­ tative of the Watchtower Bible and Tract Society’s Headquarters office in Brooklyn, New York, Vernon C.
