THE LIGHTER SIDE: ;''4,The Newi-Reriew, Roseburg, Ore. Bicycle Riders Need Instruction, . Too The News-Review doesn't go in for her ,1, aiding national weeks or months set i?" aside for commemorating special inter "'"ests, such as cats, dogs, children and in numerable other groups and causes. But next month is national Bike Month and this seems a propitious time to talk jiot about bikes, but about their riders. The number of accidents occurring ; on bicycles has been growing for some reason recently, and a drive around the ' ! countryside appears to tell why. ; Youngsters don't seem to be getting ; the proper instruction on how a bicycle ' should be operated. They are weaving ... back and forth across the road, darting X""out into the street without looking, mov ing along the wrong side of the highway and, generally, disregarding the fact oth- er vehicles 1 also share the roads and C highways. 2 Perhaps the young riders know better, Z. A lot of people seem to be intent on X making the dizzying costs of government understandable by bringing them down to elementary terms. C Recently, state Treasurer Howard Bel 2. ton reported how long it would take to spend a billion dollars at $1,000 a day. Now the Associated Oregon Industries has come up with a report on how much of the first' part of the year you work i to pay your governmental costs. It says "Tax Freedom Day" ' arrives 1 April 22 at 1:05 a.m. Until that moment, it reports the av- erage American taxpayer will be work f ing for the government on a fulltime ba "Z sis, since all earnings up to then will have gone to local, state and federal tax Z es. "Only after April 22, can the average taxpayer spend the money he makes on By Charles V. Stanton Press Is Not Adequately Reporting Resources Bill There are times when I become very critical of the press. I feel our newspapers ocasionally fail to give us news and information we need. ' At those times, however, self-examination causes me to realize I am prejudiced even intolerant at times. A news paper, I know quite well, through a half-century of ex perience, doesn't have space to deal with every subject, nor cater to the tastes of every reader. Everyone khows, I am sure, that my one big hobby is conservation, recreation, resource management, etc. In that field, I find great unhappiness because of what I think is inadequate coverage by the Oregon press. I am deeply concerned. I fear that Oregon's sportsmen, our fish and game resources, our recreational potential, is being sold "down the river" for the sake of selfish interest and political aggrandizement. The Oregon press, I believe, is failing to sense the situation and is not informing people of an existing danger. This danger in great part, is that an effort seemingly is being made to crowd a Natural Resources bill, through the Legislature before people become aware of what is going on. Gov. Hatfield is seeking to es tablish a Department of Natural H"sourccs. His measure would bring all agencies, boards and commissions dealing with forestry, agriculture, mining, fish and game, water, marine, etc., into one cabinet office over which the gov ernor would have direct control. A serious and considerable effort was made to "sell" this proposal to organized sportsmen. But ob jection was mado to a program that would take the fish and game administration out of the non-political arena and create instead a place for political patronage. Sportsmen worked long and hard to contrive the existing pattern in which the Game Commission is relatively free from political pres sure or patronage. Failing to se cure support from the organized sportsmen, it would seem from present indications that those pro moting the Department of Natural Resources have sold the state's sportsmen "down the river." Proponents Surrender Because the Oregon Division of the Izaak Walton league and the Oregon Wi 1 d 1 1 f e Federation wouldn't "buy" the governor's pro posal in its original form, it pres ently would seem that proponents 145 3. 6 r.-.iin si.

The report then has some pretty good editorial comments to add : "Many people angrily vote against a school bond issue that will add $5 or $10 . a year to their tax bill. Or they register indignation at a proposed 4 cents per pack tax on cigarettes. "Yet they make no protest about their federal income tax bill which may take $500 or $1,000 or more from them." Its answer is the same one which has appeared in this column several times. "Taxpayers must let their congressmen know they've had enough. The time has come to curtail federal expenses and tax es. Congress is becoming more and more budget conscious, but before it will act, , it must have encouragement from the people 'back home'." The Editor's Corner surrendered to commercial fish ing interests the privilege of writ ing their own ticket in return for the support of their well-organized lobby in bringing about passage of the desired department. It also would appear that an ef fort is being made to obtain pass age before the people of Oregon be come "wise" to what is going on and also to arouse resentment on the part of legislators towards any opposition to the measure Hucrest PTA Elects Officers For Year Mrs. Cal Wilkinson was named president of the Hucrest PTA at the organization's recent meeting.

SEVERS HAND, FOOT LOS ANGELES (UPI)-A men tal patient who severed his right !,,, anile ana toot with a butcher reported in satisfactory conditiun today at General Hos pital. Police said the 34-year-old man. home Sunday to visit his family during Easter, severed his hand and foot after reading a passage in the Bible that says, "If thy hand offend thee, cut it off." TUESDAY, APRIL 16, 1963 but it is more likely their parents have just given them bicycles without outlin ing the responsibilities that go with the gift. A well-emphasized lecture at the time of the gift and frequent reminders afterwards may save their lives. Some of the most important tips should be these: 1. Traffic regulations for bicycles are the same as those for autos, including red and green lights, stop signs and one way streets. 2. Hand signals in making turns and stops are just as important for bikes as for autos. 3. Bicvcles should be ridden single file on the right side of the road. 4. Pedestrians have the right of way. 5. At night cyclists should wear light clothing and have lights on their vehicles. I realize there are two sides to this controversial measure. There is ample room for differences of opinion and for argument. Gov. Hatfield, I am convinced, is very interested in bringing about what he believes to be a higher degree of efficiency in natural resources management. On the other hand, there are those who object to the political aspects of the governor's proposal and to a virtual dictator ship over our resources. 1 Few Informed So far as the merits of the prop osition are concerned I do not now argue. But 1 am deeply concerned with the fact that so few people apparently are being informed of the situation. Immediately ahead of the East er vacation, when legislators would lack time and opportunity for study, a long list of engross ments (amendments) to the Hat field proposal gained committee approval. , These engrossments would, in effect, take the fishery of western Oregon out of the hands of the Game Commission, placing full control of our anadromous (migratory) fishery under the con trol of the Fish Commission. The information I have received is that a "rush" order has been applied and that legislators are to be asked to vote on these engross ments before they have had time to give them full study. At the same time the Legisla ture was given a report that a representative of the Game Com mission was "trying to defeat the bill by intimidation, threats of po litical reprisal . ana inaccurate statements." Inquiry Made Inquiry has failed to reveal any Game Commission member or any employe making such a statement. On the other hand, inquiries by several sportsmen reveal that the rumor, in every case, was spread by representatives of the commer cial fishery interests. However, many legislators became very Irate concerning what was repre sented to be "high-handedness" and "arrogance." It would seem that the rumor has been circulat ed tt) secure immediate emotional action, before actual source of the rumored statement can be investi gated. There is a great deal of informa tion on this pending legislation that should be given the public, 1 feel. Yet, I realize that our newspapers have only limited space. It also is true that a good many editors and reporters aren't interested in this particular field. They are more concerned with taxes, schools, industry, and other major hiatters. But the resource field gets little publicity. Statement Unpublished For example, Rep. W. 0. (Bun) Kclsay, of Douglas County, intro ducing a bill affecting the concept of recreation in Oregon, Issued a printed statement concerning the measure and the reasoning behind it. But. aside from The News-Review, no newspaper I have seen, published this statement or com mented on it. Yet, so far as I can learn, it was placed on the press bench, but was not used by most of the newsmen covering the lesislature. I fear that unless the people of J Oregon can be made aware they i are about to be stripned of one of turn ,i m-s:cs ami inai sney are to be sacrificed to a new order throuch the influence of industrial greed, seemingly coupled with a i desire for political aggrandizement j and personal prestige, the result is apt to be extremely dangerous. I 'These rf L sif AN r ' Opinions From Proper Use Of Chemicals To The Eduor; After reading Editor's Corner Marcli 19, a report on National Wildlife Week. I would like to add to this timely and very fine editor ial concerning the theme, "Pesti cides are Poison Handle With Care." , . I would like to call attenUon to ten precautions:' 1. Make sure the chemical poison has been definitely established as being needed. 2. Make sure the chemical poison is registered end that it states the purpose for which it is intended and that it gives directions lor safe use. 3. No chemical poisons should be used in large scale application un til the pesticide and method of ap plication have been thoroughly field tested and approved. 4. Use licensed applicators when and if available. 5. Do not use any substance in which chemical poisons toxic to wildlife are mixed. 6. Chemical poisons should not be used during the spring migra 3n &cui5 a Tokerrfrom list filee 40 YEARS AGO April H, INI Transfer ot the local Drager prune packing plant back of the management of W. F.

Pesticides should be stored in original and labeled containers. They should be kept out of the reach of children' and irresponsible persons. , 8. Mix only the amount to be used at one time. Containers should never be left unattended. 9. Never wash containers or emp ty chemical poisons or residues into ditches, ponds or streams. 10. Always remember that chem ical pesticides are poison.. Handle with care. Healthy, vigorous strains of crops, trees and animals have been developed to , resist pests. But if one finds a condition needing treat ment he should get the latest infor mation from the agricultural agent or a veterinarian. Directions should be read carefully, as there has been a rapid change in meth ods in recent years. There is an old saying thai "If a little is good a lot is better."

His two aces will make five tricks and his problem . is to find a sixth trick. That sixth trick can't come in hearts or in clubs, but it can come in diamonds if East can get to ruff a diamond. East must get ready by leading the ace and an other diamond. Declarer will lead trumps and East must grab the first trump lead and play a club.

Too much or not enough could cause poisoning, burning, or , would do no good at all. If a licensee! applicator is avail able, the farmer is assured that this person hes been qualified by taking an examination from the State Department of Agriculture. The department constantly - is checking the chemical content of sprays and the amount of contam ination caused by chemicals. In fact, this, and other fields of test ing, has grown so fast in the last few years the department has been forced to look for more room to house this part of the depart ment in order to keep up with pub lic requirements. "it has been estimated that here In Oregon an average of five-hundred people are poisoned annually from insecticides and sprays. Most of . those people are under five years of age I will never forget the lady who stood up at a Farm Bureau conven tion and pleaded for everyone to be more careful with insecticides. Between tears she told how a con tainer was carelessly thrown away where her little loved one handled it, then put his hands in his mouth, causing his death. A doctor told me of a case where only a little spray was needed. A lady used a pup bottle as a contain er. A small child found it and be gan sucking on it. She immediate ly rushed the child to a doctor, but she didn't know the antidote so there was some delay while the doctor obtained information con cerning the proper treatment. The child lived, but in much agony. In another case a dog died after licking a stick that had been used o stir a poison chemical. A child might just as easily have picked up the stick and put it in his mouth. Pesticides are necessary. If used properly they are beneficial. But carelessness seems to be a trait of humans. So, let's all take a look at our shelf of chemicals. Make sure that poisons are in proper contain ers and out of the reach of chil dren. We should form a habit of not leaving chemicals from one day to the next but, instead, should mix them only in the quantity needed, so that none is left over. Spraying should be done away from any place where spray might cause contamination. We should make sure that all paddles, containers, cloth, etc. are properly destroyed or removed from the reach of chil dren and animals. The Wildlife Federation has done a good job of making the public aware that "Pesticides are a pois on handle with care." Certainly the Federation's program has the support of health organizations, professional groups of doctors, etc. But we should remember that there are 52 weeks in a year and that our observance shouldn't be for one week only.

The morning stars are Venus and Saturn. The evening star is Mars. On this day in history: In 1862, Congress abolished slav ery in the District of Columbia. In 1917, Russian Communist leader Nikolai Lenin arrived in' Petrograd from Switzerland where he had been exiled. In 1947. more than 500 persons were killed when a nitrate-laden : Kremh freighter exploded at the dock in Texas City, Tex. A thought for the day: Lenin' said: "It is true that liberty is; precious so precious that it must b rationed." 1 WJ By DICK WEST WASHINGTON (UPD The Na tional Geographic Society is in every respect an honorable insti tution. It has been almost like a second father to me. I love the Geographic and all that it stands for, but there are limes when I think it is too stark ly realistic for its own good. Or at least for my good. Some of the information the Geographic distributes leaves me feeling sort of lost and lonely. It undermines my security by de stroying my illusions. Recently, illusions have been falling about me like so many daisy petals. For instance, after a glorious trip to South America I returned to the old grind saying,;- as everyone does under such circum stances, "Well, back to the salt mines." Then I picked up a Geographic press release and received a rude - In The Day's By FRANK From Washington: Wheeling Steel, the nation's No. 11 producer, announced that, ef fective Wednesday, it would make a selective price boost averaging about $S a ton. William A. Mcele, Wheeling president, said the in crease was due to "a steady in crease in tho cost of materials, services and labor." It was just a year ago that U. S. Steel announced a $6 a ton price hike ' and incurred Presidential wrath. Other companies followed the lead. Bui under White House pressure the price boost was can celled Yesterday's action by Wheeling Steel was regarded in some cir cles as a. trial balloon to test the market and White House action. Question: What was the reaction? Weli, President Kennedy had planned to leave the White House at 4 p.m. yesterday to fly to raim Beach for an Easter vacation. But about two and a half hours ahead of take-off time White House press secretary Pierre Sa linger announced that the Presi dent had postponed the trip. This morning's dispatches add that while Secretary Salinger didn't tie the postponement to the steel .situ ation, but there was no question that steel was the major matter on the President s mind.

According to the Geograph ic, salt mines actually are rather pleasant places to go back to. They have mild temperatures the year around, the humidity is low and the salt crystals are pretty and shiny. Furthermore, the air is said to be good for colds, asth ma and hangovers. I still was recovering from this blow when I received another re lease that sent me reeling again. Sea turtles, it said, do not really weep when they come ashore to lay eggs. Man and boy, I had accepted as pure gospel the canard that sea turtles were big cry babies. I trusted it as implicity as I trusted the Easter Bunny, the Loch Ness monster ' and the Ab ominable Snowman. Now I must spend the rest of my days, haunted by the know ledge that a sea turtle's tears are nothing but an unemotional salt secreting function.
