Many rurnt residents are pro testing because destructive actions oi some cuy motorists wno, upon their excursions Into the country, tear down fences, destroy scenic sites and encroach upon, private property, according to the Oregon State Motor association which is sues a plea for fairness in this re- i gard. . The most rigorous protest re gards those who camp upon a well-kept plot of ground, strew their (leurls about carelessly and, upon leaving, often drive over til led land, thus damaging crops and causing financial losses to owners, Another protest Is against mot orists who displace, or run through fences into private fields. Another Is against those who disregard the state law - prohibiting plucking flowers from private lands and de vastate regions which have been preserved for their scenic- attrac tiveness, "Many rural residents aro glad to have their city neighbors visit them but thoy do expect consider ate, fair treatment, says A. R Shearer, manager of tho touring department of tho Oregon Stuto Motor association. "Most of tho land outsiUo of the city limits is private property and common courtesy requires that tho intruder ask permission of tho owner bo fore entering. "Those who do ask for permis sion to picnic or camp generally are welcomed nnd often aro given special courtesies. However, If permission is refused, tho city dweller can be reasonably suro that past actions by him and his fellows hnvo made tho farmer wary of all motorists."
