That figure is a whopper, and he probably look ed around in affright, hoping no one had heard him. He's on sae enough ground. When you start looking for a piece of roof to get under, you're not, too sure the prediction hasn't been fulfilled already. r IT'S scaring the Californlans a little but alter all the situa tion isn't too rough. A lot of this new population is made up of youngsters and others not too far over on the shady side, and they are. looking in the eye the Tact that they can't live on sunshine and scenery and are beginning to scratch around for ways to make a living. Many of them are starting new businesses especially in the ser vice lines. The result is the Blow sprouting of a little competition in a world that had seen too little of it for quite a whllo. It isn't an altogether alien and unknown experience down here of late to buy something and be served courteously and even THANKED when ' you plank down folding money at the end of the transaction. The first time It happens, it Jars loose the fill ings in your back teeth,' At the second recurrence, you jolt your skull with the heel of your hand to see if perchance your ears may be playing tricks on you. It '8 like dropping a nickel in a juko: box and getting instead of the expected blat of Jazz an old, familiar heart song that relaxes your too tightly stretched nerves and carries you back to happier days. You choke up and your eyelids begin to sting. Down deep within, you feel surging up an Impulse to throw your arms around the be- slower of the unexpected court esy and hug him like a bear. It's an odd sensation. DON'T be so naive as to think this happens frequently. But the fact that it is beginning to happen at all is something. We've all had our low moments when we'd have bet our bottom dollar it NEVER WOULD happen again. That's why It rocks us back on our heels when it docs come along. TIJIS same thought thai Is, thai , change however slight, ln human behaviour is beginning- to make Itself felt was put the oth er day In a slightly more cynical manner by the woman proprietor of an attractive little restaurant with a cocktail bar in connection. She said: - "Yes, the help situation Is defi nitely changing. . As late as six months ago, when they, came in drunk I'd pat 'em kindly on the head and tell "em to go out and walk around the block and come beck and try it again.

A sudden crash and two youths were dead, while seven adults all terribly mangled, A comparatively few minutes before the accident, these nine people were happy and carefree. They had been enjoy ing a pleasant social evening. Two now are dead, their of youth, and the others, if all and misery and, perhaps, may be permanently crippled, Such is the price of carelessness! It is not known what caused the accident. It may have been negligence, recklessness, But it IS known that speed was involved, and speed is the primary cause of the majority of current motor vehicle accidents. Traffic checks reveal i that average speed is gradually creeping up. During war years we curtailed our rate of travel . to conserve gasoline tomed to cruising at slower speeds. But, with restrictions released, we are gradually returning to our old habits. Our reflexes, however, have not yet accommodated themselves to the new speeds ; our reactions, trained over a long period of time in the 35-miles-per-hour limits, are a wee bit late in an emergency. But of more vital Concern is the fact that -our motor vehicles are not capable of prewar speeds. Our cars are old. Their parts, long in service, have reached the stage where metal is in danger of becoming crystallized. Parts are worn beyond the point of safety. Synthetic and recapped tires are not uniformly reliable at sustained high speeds. To drive one of these motor vehicles at prewar speeds is to invite disaster through no fault of the driver, other than his lack of judgment in travelling at A few years ago there was "And Sudden Death." It shocked the nation briefly, but all too soon we forgot its message. It would be well if we dug up our old copies of that gruesome sermon and read it again. Our local tragedy could well be appended. Details of Sunday morning's accident have not been learned by the police. There were no witnesses, and the vic tims are too serioiiHiy hurt to relute their versions of the crash. Probably it happened so suddenly that none knows tho real cause. But an investigation cannot ing the details will not repair The only good to be derived determine facts which may prevent a similar tragedy. This benefit can be achieved only if the findings und apply them tOmMt own practices. This we can do without knowledge of tho details of Sunday morning's accident for the lesson is plain less speed, greater caution. failure cf the fish commission.

State-Wide Auto Safety Check Will Start May 15th Oregon state police, traffic law enforcement officers of Oregon cities, and sheriffs will partici pate in the nation-wide police safety check program, starting Wednesday, May 15, it was an nounced by Chief Harry M. Niles, head of the Portland bureau of police and state coordinator for the police safety program. This is the second annual po lice traffic accident prevention campaign, Ktaged in every town, city and state in the nation with law enforcement officers in many Canadian provinces also participating. Assisting the state coordinator In directing the campaign ln Ore gon will be the Salety Division, office of Secretary of State Far rell. Beginning May 15, law enforce ment officers will conduct .a safe ty check on all motor vehicles stopped during routine law en forcement activities. The check will consist of an inspection to check the condition of the tires, brakes, lights, windshield swipe, horn and oth-r conditions that can be seen by the officer. A check list will be made out and one copy will be given the op erator while police keep the other copy. "The chief purpose of the po lice safety check is to emphasize in the minds of motorists the im portance of keeping their vehicles in sate operating condition, Niles said. "The check is not in tended to be a thorough vehicle inspection. Rather it is intended to disclose tne more oovious de fects and to call them to the at tention of the driver, while the officer explains the dangers of operating vemcies witn sucn ae- recis. 'With vehicles on the average eight years of age, and with little prospects for new cars in the im mediate future, it Is highly im orosDect for new cars In the im- cars ln good mechanical condi tion. Secretary of State Farrell re ports that .traffic accidents soar ed skyward to new highs during the first three months of 1946. The first 90 days of this year saw 94 traffic deaths, he reported. "The record for the first ouar ter of the year thus is about 25 per cent over the fatality record for the same period of 1945," Far rell said. "The police safety check is one of the first nation wide Drocrams inaugurated to carry out the program discussed at the President's highway safety conference in Washington early in May."

And, of course, Russia has made It clear she thinks the Anglo-American Allies are trying to stymie her legitimate ambitions. That point has to be cleared up too. Little Nations Astir The differences in viewpoint between Russia on the one hand and the western Allies on the other have become so pronounced that small powers are taking ad vantage of the divergence. . We see this well illustrated in the Palestine crisis. The Arab league, comprising several Arabian states which are neighbors of Palestine, are reported to be planning to send a delegation to Moscow to ask that Russia support the Arabs in. Palestine against the Anglo-American inquiry commit tee report which calls for the im mediate immigration of 100,000 more Jews into the Holy Land.

These persons, who will have been paid benefits for the maxi mum 20 weeks period, will be in eligle. for further benefits until 1947, and they will be able to get them then only If they ob tain employment this year. More than a third of the 18,000 are women. Two thirds of the men are more than 45 years old, and a sixth of the men are past 05 years old. The commission said a serious problem would be created as per sons become ineligible for further u n e m p 1 o yment compensation. They would have to rely on pub llo welfare funds, but most coun ties report their welfare funds arc almost depleted. 1 - I Five-sixth of these claimants live in metropolitan Portland, and 70 per cent of them are former shipyard workers.
