Z The vote on hiyher education con- stTuction money wiU take place at the May 15 primary election. .. If voters approve this change, laws already approved by the state legislature will take effect. The legislature has giv eiT its approval to allow the state Board of- Higher Education to continue a con struction program to meet growing needs at- the state's colleges and universities. The most controversial question, how ever, comes up Nov. 3 at the general election. It would remove the mention of Ihe death penalty from the state constitu tion. The constitution presently sets the penalty for first degree murder as death. r By striking this language from the constitution, the legislature would be al lowed by law to set whatever penalty it wished. The last time the subject was brought up for a vote, the death penalty was re tained by more than 12,000 votes. That was in 1958. - The legislature this year approved a bill which sets the penalty for first de gree murder at life in prison and extends the amount of time necessary before pa role will be considered to 10 years. This new law will take effect if voters approve removal of the death penalty from the constitution. . The death penalty was outlawed once before in Oregon. That was in 1914. Vot ers did away with capital punishment by 157 votes. Then, during the next six years, a series of brutal murders was committed, and the death penalty was reinstated. In Oregon, 48 people have been exe cuted under the death penalty law in the history of the state. :The last issue to be voted on is that of allowing the state to expand its debt limit somewhat by exempting those leases of less than 20 years. This vote will also take place at the general elec tion. Of course, still pending is the possible vote Oct. 15 on approval or rejection of a $48 million increase in taxes which the legislature okayed this year. Albany Pub lisher Francyl Howard is still working feverishly to secure the 23,000 names nec essary on a petition which would make a vote possible. In all, it seems Oregon voters may have a year of many decisions. And these four sound like requests for votes of con fidence from the legislature. . The ' Editor's Corner By Charles V.

By DICK WEST WASHINGTON (UPI) In ad dition to being a comedian, pian isl ond poultry farmer, Victor Borge has in recent years be come a yachtman. Jle has his 68-foot sailing ves sel at anchorage here this week wjiilc playing an engagement at tlc Carter Barron Amphitheater. AJid the other afternoon he took an group oi us reporters on cruise down the Potomac. A stiff wind was blowing across the river as we pulled away from llie dock. Borge obviously was iiupressed by the towering "grey cflps. (The Potomac is too dirty lu-have whitecaps.) iMy!" he exclaimed. "I,ook at tlm angry sowerage!" "How big Is your yacht, Mr. Barge?" someone asked. Jit's two-masted," Borge re plied. "Or three, if you count nS son." Vhat is the lop speed?" an other reporter inquired. -The speed is the same on top ar It is on the bottom," Borge said. 2 luncheon, featuring dishes hrrportcd from his native Den nurk, was served to us on the wind-swept deck. Borge was uied to identify one of the ilcli clijies. Blood Bank Is Kiwanians1 Goal One of the civic projects of the Glide Kiwanis Club is a Communi ty Credit Blood Bank, correspond ent Mrs. Arthur Selby reports. The club will keep account of all the credits, and whenever any one in the community, which in cludes Idlcyld Park, Steamboat and Tokctee, is in need of blood, they can contact the Kiwanis Club and use these credits to replace the blood they have received,, ac cording to Mrs. Robert It. Franks, oioou recruiting chairman of Doug las County Red Cross. These blood credits can be transferred to any blood bank in the United States whether private or Red Cross. The Kiwanis Club is sponsor ing the Red Cross bloodmobile at the Glide Community building Aug. 23 from 3 to 6 p.m. in an effort to get blood donors to build up credits in it's blood bank. At pres ent, the club lias five credits. "The Kiwanis Club appeals to residents of the community to be blood donors to build up blood bank credits which will help you and your loved ones if you arc ever in need of blood," Mrs. Sel by said. "Thai's a hard-blown egg," he said. 'What kind of fish in this?" asked a guest. "Tuna?" "Yes," Borge said. "It's a pi ano tuna." "You have been giving piano concerts for many years," some one observed. "Do you ever play at home for your own en joyment." "Oh, yes," Borge said. "I'm the only one who does enjoy it." ' you certainly nave a wonder ful tan," another guest comment ed. "Where did you get it?" "I got most of it on my face," Borge said. Borge, who has just returned from a tour of the Orient, was asked for his opinion of the Far Jiasl. "Sometimes I don't think it's far enough," he said. One of the crew members told us that Borge had sailed the yacht on the open seas in all sorts of heavy weather. We asked Borge if he had ever had any serious difficulty with the vessel. Yes, I vc had some trouble paying for it," he said. At this point we passed the Mount Vernon excursion boat, which was loaded with tourists. 'That must he Liberace's yacht," Borge said. 1 guess that sailing with Borge is what is meant by the old ex pression "down to the sea in quips." Baptists To Present Study Tour Speaker Dr. Dwight Dodson, executive secretary for the Oregon Baptist Convention with headquarters in Portland, will be speaking about his tour of Europe and the Repub lic of Congo at the First Baptist Church of Roseburg Sunday at 7:30 p.m. Dr. Dodson recently completed a study tour of Europe with a large group of Baptist state and city m ecutive secretaries. Their trip was climaxed with a two-week visit to American Baptist Mission stations in the Republic of Congo. The public is invited to hear Dod son's report of the tour.

A thought for the day play wright Henrik Ibsen said: "Tlie spirit of truth and the spirit of freedom they are the pillars of society." News Analysis Dialogue Continuation At Ecumenical Is Eyed 'Hot Rod' Teen-Age Driver Shows Consideration Lack A few nights ago I observed an automobile halted at a stop street. The driver was a teen-ager. When the light changed, he took off with a squeal of tires, marks of burn ed rubber and a clashing of gears. He sped down the street at a rate several times that set by law. , . . I presume he felt himself to be a very capable driver, a real hot shot, quite proud of his demonstrated ability. Yet anyone with knowledge of proper operation of a mo tor vehicle knows that this young man is an exceedingly poor driver and in many respects unworthy of the license he carries. , This teen-age driver made a show of his ability by a fast start and excessive speed. He was driving a very fine car one of the more expensive kinds. Quite evidently it was the family car. , Any good driver knows that the power plant of an automobile, par ticularly a good car, is a well constructed piece of machinery. Its several parts depend upon the functioning of one another. The en gine is capable of withstanding a I great denl of abuse. But abuse ; shortens the life of the motor through excessive strain and wear. Function is impaired by mistreat I ment. ' The teen-ager I watched driving this automobile clashed gears as he sped away. Damage Noted A good driver would never think of abusing the car's power plant. Too, he would pride himself upon his ability to change gears smooth ly. He knows that the clashing sound is a sign of excessive wear; that bits of metal are apt to be chipped off and mixed with the grease, which can be very damaging. Another sign that this prideful young man was far from being the perfect driver he apparently thought himself to be was to be seen in the marks left on the pavc- United Prist International Notes from the foreign news cables: Quiet Optimism: There is quiet optimism in lib eral circles in Home that there will be a continuation of the "dia logue" between the Roman Cath olic and non-Catholic churches. Pope Paul VI has not spoken out directly about the subject since his election, but he has indicated that he will carry forward the late Pope John XXllI's double goals of bringing the Roman church into line with the times and working for Christian unity through the Ecumenical Council the second session of which he has set for Sept. 29.

Diplomats say it will stay; PORTLAND (UPI) Another cost accompanying this foolish demonstration was the mat ter of gasoline consumption. Prob ably the expense didn't amount to much. However, any good driv er knows that - accelerating the motor unnecessarily uses a large -amount of fuel. The car probably could have been run for a con siderable distance on the amount of fuel this young man wasted by his show-off tactics. This teen-age "squirrel" driver evidently flattered his own ego by his performance. But it was a person is to consider proper driv ing tactics. But the abuse of the car and the extravagance involved could ' not be considered the most serious aspect of the case. The car hurtled down the street at a high rate of speed; a far greater speed than the law per mits. The driver might just as well have been nlavins with a loaded gun, insofar as danger to him self and others was concerned. By his poor showing in the man ner of handling his vehicle, the young man demonstrated a total disregard of an automobile as a lethal weapon.
