Many Decisions Face Oregon Voters

removal of Ot ciifc peasSir from the
constitution: cd tS tsweir.ption of state
leXses not exediit 0. years from the
stjrte debt limit.
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 LIGHTER SIDE:
Borge Becomes
Witty Yachtsman
; .. 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."

'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-
