THE NYSSA GATE CITY JOURNAL, NYSSA, OREGON THURSDAY, AUGUST 8, 1968 fS Salem Scene By Everett E. Cutter Business Management Experts To Study Oregon's Education As any businessman knows, basic principles of success in clude reducing costs and in creasing productivity — with out impairing the quality of his product or service. Can such rules be applied to improve Oregon’s al ready highly-rated school system? Business leaders now are pooling their expertise to find out, and in tackling their am bitious project they voice de cided optimism. Similar task force studies by businessmen in other states have resulted in the saving or more efficient use of millions of tax dollars. Oregon’s study, announced here Monday, is being launched by Associated Oregon Indus tries (AOI), statewide em ployers’ orgainzation. It has the backing of top busi ness leaders, of Gov. Tom Mc Call and of Dr. Dale Parnell, state superintendent of public instruction. The Oregon Asso ciation of Intermediate and County Superintendents and other interested organizations also are pledging their support. Aim of the project is to examine through business management eyes the budgetary needs of Oregon’s primary and secondary education. Hopefully, it will result in suggestions for more efficient use of dollars in the business end of public education. This is considered important for every Oregonian, for most of our tax dollars -- both state and local -- are spent on educa tion. It is important for busi nessmen, whose firms invest heavily in education through •their tax payments, and who frequently serve on school boards and finance committees. This fact prompts Dr. Parnell to say he considers business and industry to be “full working partners in the making of deci- , sions concerning education and taxation.” Legal Notices I------------------- - $ NO. 2744 NOTICE OF FINAL ACCOUNT P > IN THECOUNTYCOURT OF THE STATE OF OREGON FOR THE COUNTY OF MALHEUR In the Matter of the Estate of - ELVIN LAVERNE WORDEN, Deceased ** NOTICE IS HEREBY GIVEN that the undersigned, Frances J.

Private business is supplying the manpower to conduct the study, plus the estimated $50,000 it will cost. Study teams will work under the direction of an AOI project steering com mittee of six business leaders, temporarily headed by Philip N. Bladine, AOI vice president and editor - publisher of The News-Register in McMinnville. Overall coordination will be exercised by Warren King & Associates, Chicago manage ment consultant firm which is being retaine 1 by AOI’s special education st dy committee. The firm has conducted similar effi ciency studies of government and education in Ohio, Washing ton, California and Oklahoma. In Ohio, it was found that by combining the purchasing power of school lunchrooms to take advantage of volume buying, savings could amount to $5.4 million. Other million- dollar savings were recom mended through changes in maintenance procedures and textbook purchasing -- without sacrificing the quality of educa tion. Dr. Parnell says he is “very enthusiastic, seeing expertise from all areas of Oregon busi ness seeking ways to improve business - management prac tices in our schools.” Having heard questions about construc tion costs for a long time, he says, he is anxiously awaiting results to see if they are too high. Educators have not relied enough on the knowledge and abilities of business in the past, he asserts. “Our training is mostly in the teaching-learning process and not management.” Conversely, the business study is not getting into the educators’ field of expertise. It will probe into such areas as utilization of buildings, book keeping procedures, use of busses, insurance programs, centralized purchasing and other adminstrative cost factors. AOI expects completion of the study in time for findings to be available to the 1969 legisla ture. Taxation matters, as always, will be the legislature’s major business, and school budgets always figure promin ently in any revenue considera tions. Because of the magnitude of education as a business, busi nessmen and educators alike are banking on the AOI study for recommendations to run it more efficiently. Reducing costs, increasing productivity and maintaining the high quality of Oregon’s elementary and secondary education are sound business goals in the best inter est of all citizens.

These pork loins are cut from choice young porkers — * K I' An attempted burglary of the Adrian Merc was made early Thursday morning August 1, but apparently nothing was taken. Investigation was made by the Oregon state police and the Malheur county sheriff’s de partment. They reported that a call was received about 3 a.m. from the Vern Parkers, owners of the store, who reported that someone was in the building at that time. Officers said when they ar rived at the scene no one was in the store but groceries, some clothes and several cartons of cigarettes had been placed in cartons ready to be taken out. Entry into the building was gained by forcing the frontdoor, according to Sheriff Bob Ingram. The cigarettes were placed near the back entrance and apparently the would-be burglars had just left by that d<x>r, he said. Some clothing and groceries were boxed in another area of the store. At Journal presstime W e d n e s d a y, the investigation was being continued, according to a report from the Sheriff’s headquarters in Vale. “When more of the people’s sustenance is exacted through the form of taxation than is necessary to meet the just obli gations of government and ex penses of its economical ad ministration, such exaction be comes ruthless extortion and a violation of the fundamental principles of-a free govern ment." - Grover Cleveland.
