    Cold Wave
Seen; State
Gets Snow
Colder temperatures were fore
cast for Oregon today in the wake
of a snowfall that blanketed many
cities and made highway travel
hazardous.
Snow fell yesterday through
much of the Willamette valley, in
Portland, and at Baker.
Minor traffic accidents occurred
throughout the state, and a woman
rushing to her aged mother’s bed
side was critically injured in a
wreck near Klamath Falls.
The Columbia river remained
clogged with ice floes. Fishermen
thought smelt were probably run
ning in the Columbia—but they
can’t be caught through the ice.
Gillnetters gave up fishing until a
thaw; at present, their nets freeze.
One rumored fear was called un
founded. The army engineers said
the break-up of Columbia river ice
will not harm Bonneville dam.
Twice since the dam’s construction
the Columbia has had as much ice
as now.
The Columbia river stream flow
increased to 86,000 second -feet at
Bonneville, boosting power output
to some 370,000 Kilowatts. Power
officials warned that continued
electricity-saving was necessary,
however.
Several sawmills in Lane county
which resumed operations Tuesday
were threatened with closure again.
The snow and cold weather made
it difficult to continue logging.

Westminster will have a potluck
dinner Thursday, at 6 p.m. The ad

Machines, Teachers Here
For BA Short Course
By Kay Johnson
The school of business adminis
tration has visitors. Not the com
mon garden variety of visitors,
mind you, but special representa
tives of the National Cash Register
company of Dayton, Ohio, Robert
D. Hughes and his assistants Stan
ley Hager and Robert Torgesen,
both of the Portland bra-nch of the
■company.
They arrived replete with a bit
more than the usual baggage. More
specifically, two tons of the most
modern accounting equipment. This
they are employing to teach cours
es in machine accounting to inter
ested persons of the University.
Monday, the first day of the course,
saw seven classes, a high student
interest and a total of 267 present
to hear the lectures and see the
demonstrations.
These classes are brought to the
University through special ar
rangement with Dean V. P. Morris,
of the school of business adminis
tration and will be held in 206 Com
merce from 8 to 3 through Friday
of this week.
A special class on bank applica
tions will be given Saturday morn
ing. A wide range of valuable sub
jects is offered, including: accounts
receivable and payable, window
posting, labor distribution, and cost!
and payroll records.
Starting from Ohio, Mr. Hughes
has worked west across the coun
try and has thus far visited Ne
braska, Utah and Washington col
leges before his arrival to Oregon.
He plans to go on to California af
ter his stay here. His assigned area
is half of the United States, one of
the four divisions covered by rep
resentatives of his company. He
expressed his hopes that the cours
es prove successful enough to war
rant their permanent establishment
on an annual basis.
Student comment seems to indi
cate that this is a valuable sup
plement to their regular courses
and brings them to more fully real
ize some of the hitherto unknown
possibilities and applications of ac
counting. From this interest shown,
indications are that Mr. Hughes’
wish shall be fulfilled.

pi You eesat help lock
the door csgoinst
Here is the story about a door that can be
built to repel cancer, the deadly killer. The door
locks only if two keys are turned. Science holds
one key — your money can provide the other.
Your dollars support: cancer research which
some day may find the causes and cure of the
disease; an education program that teaches men
and women how to recognize cancer in its early
stages, when immediate treatment can save their
lives.
Won’t you help us lock the door? Give as
generously as you can. Give more than before
to guard those you love.
