July 24. me irainc aaieiy uivision ot Welfare Center On Stand-By the state Department of Motor Ve hicles is predicting another "po tentially bloody 102-hour holiday period for Oregon." Eleven motorists died in six sep arate crashes throughout the state during a similar holiday period earlier this year. Last 4th of July, covering only a 30-hour span, showed 169 accidents and 71 injur ies. No deaths were recorded. Death Toll Zooms What makes traffic officers even more edgy is that Oregon's high way death toll has zoomed almost 30 per cent ahead of last year. Douglas County, which started with a fine record through the first five months of the year, is not catch ing up quickly as highway deaths mount. All traffic agencies are stressing the defensive driving technique of "not counting on the other driver lo make up for your mistakes." Roseburg Chief of Police John Truett had these words of advice lo reduce accidents: Obey all laws, be courteous, be patient, keep a safe distance between cars, drive at reasonable speeds and keep seat belts fastened when the car is in motion. Mrs. Blehm reported that the workers have been busily engaged in readying clothing and bedding for distribution to folks in need. She said that she was contacted before 6:00 last Wednesday morn ing by Mrs. Johu Beam, who lives next door to a house that was burned leaving three adults and seven children homeless, and that the Center was able to provide sev eral changes of clothing and some bedding lor the destitute family. These things are done for any one who needs them without re gard to color or creed. She stated that they have many calls for clothing and bedding and for fur niture. Anvone having some of these things especially children's clothing and furniture to contri bute may bring them to the Center any Wednesday except the next two when many of the workers will be attending the annual Camp Meeting at Gladstone Park near Oregon City.

Foresters Criticize Training Program The Umpqua chapter of the So ciety of American Foresters issued a statement today critical of a for estry training program announced oy tne U.S. Department of Health, juueauon ana welfare. A press release from Washing ton last Saturday reported that 20 unemployed persons would be train ed as foresters during an Oregon traning session. Donald Brown, Glide, chapter chairman, said the governmental announcement "signifies the en trance of the federal government into a subsidization of professional forestry education. In this case, the 37 weeks of training will be conducted under the 'manpower de velopment and traning act' at Eu gene Technical Vocational School." "Forestry educators are con cerned with the effect that such a program will have upon under graduates in accredited forestry schools for obtaining summer em ployment," Brown stated. "Heretofore, such opportunities have not only helped these stu dents in a financial way, but have actually been a prerequisite for graduation from such schools as Oregon Stale University. The ex perience gained in aub profession al jobs by an undergraduate in for estry not only stands him in good stead through his working career, but also assists the various schools in shaping the particular specialty of a forestry graduate in the fields of forest management, forest engineering and forest products," he added. others working in custodial fields.

Bar Association Protests Firing Of City Judge The MCMINNV1LLE (UPI) - Oregon state Bar Tuesday pro tested the city of Seaside's recent discharge of a municipal judge. 1 lie bar said it would seek legis lation to guarantee the independ ence of municipal judges. The Bar's Board of Governors expressed the protest in a state ment issued by Eugene E. Marsh, McMinnville, bar president. Maurice Pysher. mayor of Sea side, confirmed the resignation of hrank Walters had been received. He said John Black has been ap pointed in his place. Marsh said the city officials ap parently thought Walters "was not imposing stiff enough penal ties. . . " The statement issued by the bar said "The Board of Governors of the Oregon Slate Bar has referred to its Committee on Minor Courts for study and preparation a meas lire to be presented to the next Oregon Legislature under whichl the State of Oregon would guaran tee the independence of municipal judges in Oregon from improper pressure from other officials, such as that which apparently occurred at seaside, Oregon. The bar termed the action i "grossly improper interference" i with the judge's duties. I Pysher said the police depart- ment was "demoralized" by the ! low fines and lenient sentences handed down by Walters, a 70-year-old retired Washington attor ney who moved to Seaside June 1, 1 1961, after 41 years of practice, mostly in Seattle.

A principle effort of the proposal would be to eliminate Diamond ! Lake Blvd. and the general area ! from the alley between SE Mill and SE Pine to SE Fullerton St. from the fire zone 1 classification, hire Marshall Leonard E. Slen der points out that the present fire zone 1 covers Diamond Lake Blvd. and other areas which are pre dominantly residential, low value business or areas not presently built up. Fire zone 1 requirements i presently too severe in these areas, causing hardships with re spect to expense, types of construc tion, floor areas and occupancy types. Stender pointed out that the pur pose of a zone 1 is to cover only 'high value" and heavily indus trialized areas. The area to be cut out of the fire zone 1 would be re established as fire zone ?. The change is expected to be beneficial to properties in new zone 2 area. The zone will probably encourage more building development in that area, city of ficials believe. A zone 2 is less restrictive, usual ly requiring only a one-hour fire wall (as opposed to four-hour fire wall in zone 1) and does permit storage of flammable liquids above ground under certain circum stances. This zone is used as a transition zone between the high value and residential areas, and usually includes all business and commercial types of buildings not otherwise included in zone 1. The proposal is to change the boundary of present fire zono 1 and establish fire zones 2 and 3 by re vising an existing city ordinance. Stender said Roseburg's present fire zones were established after the blast primarily as "clean up" measures, and time did not permit a thorough analysis of the tiro zones. It was intended that the fire designations be revised later as the opportunity for evaluation pre sented itself, he said.

State AFL-CIO President J. D. McDonald and Executive Secre tary. James T. Marr said today that while the new law "violates in some measure the historic ap proach of progressive taxation in Oregon, it has a number of basic advantages." They said they liked the tax credit which replaces the former personal dependency deductions, and favor the narrow range of progress in the rate structure as a step forward. Both said they felt the new law was "far more advantageous to families" than cither a sales tax or a gross income tax. A petition to refer the tax bill has been filed, and a special elec tion will be held if 23,185 persons sign the petitions.
