co-operation of Oren King, Eugene
city manager, according to David
Casa, student body president of
Eugene High and member of the
'‘Stinkers."
Sunday’s 1 to 5 p.m. clean up
will come just over a month from
the day when the Register-Guard
appeared with four front page pic
tures on the condition of the ceme
tery was in Oct. 12.
On Oct. 15, the Guard said, edi
toiiully, that the “old cemetery
has be: onto everybody’s business."
The editorial went on to say that
the paper had been watching the
situation during “more than 20
years of attending meetings, help
ing to raise funds for temporary
clean ups, publi dung innumerable
stories and editorial appeals, and
seeing Committees appointed only
to ‘die on th vine’.”
Past Ac lion
Summing up the past action
taken on the burial ground, the
paper brought out three points.
1. The Odd Fellows lodge had
ceased to have official control of
the ground years ago.
2. That control passed to a
group of trustees elected by plot
owners at occasional meetings and
the meetings have become fewer
and fewer as families die out or
move away.
3. Without funds and well de
fined powers, the trustees are pow
erless to do anything except for
occasional clean ups, with some
city help.
The editorial went on to say that
under the law there were only two
alternatives for solution of the
cemetery problem. The first solu
tion was to remove the bodies ami
markers to a more suitable loca
tion. The editorial pointed out that
the expense of such action made it
almost prohibitive.
The second solution would be a
program to replace the present
heads t»ues and markers with
nameplates laid flush with the
ground so that the area could be
landscaped and planted in lawn
fairly cheaply.
Biggest Problem
However, the paper pointed out
that the biggest problem under any
action would be finding each of the
more t han 000 plot owners and ob
taining their legal consent for the
change ami obtaining ‘‘quieting
title” when owners or heirs could
not be found. ,
Remedy
. The Deodorized Order of the
Skunks hopes to remedy this sit
uation somewhat, Cass stated. The
group, which has asked the Uni
versity fraternities for help in their
project, plans to paint and dis
tribute ash cans in the area in an
effort to keep the cemetery and
Eugfine cleaner. Cass said.
Wednesday the service group is
sponsoring a dance at the Elks
Temple to raise funds for their
campaign. Dell Kenfro’s band will
play and the dance is open to the
public, Cass stated.

Don't wreck your holiday!
Don’t let an accident wreck your holiday, your car, or
your life. Remember the crowded traffic on the highway
and drive with extra caution. Remember, too, this simple
safety rule: if you drive, don’t drink; if you drink, don't drive.
Be Careful—the life you save may be your own!
