Oregon and the rest of the nation was due for a high incidence of measles in the 1966-67 ep idem ic year which extends from fa ll through spring, but vaccine hat cut the number of cases by about tw o - thirds.

Counties Share Trailer Fees O egon counties are now shar­ ing more than $2, 000, 000 c o l­ lected inlicense fees from house tra ile r owner* by the Depart­ ment of M otor V eh icle* since M ay, 1966. Vem L.H U 1. director of the department,sa id the annual dis­ tribution to counties was made at the end of June. This year's total of $2, 021, 773 represents a 15 per cent gain over the a - mount distributed in 1966. The motor vehilcledirectoc said that the revenue distributed to counties from lees collected by that agency ha* increased 165 per cent since 1961, the first fu ll year far w hich the fee was co llected. Monies are distributed ac­ cording to the tra ile r's location shown on the registration ap p li­ cation. Although there has been one increase in fee since the orig­ inal measure was passed in 1959, H ill said the biggest factor in the revenue i n c r e a s e from $763, 001 in 1961 to last year's $2 m illio n is the growing pop­ u la rity of trailers. In 1961, there were 36,147 house trailers reg­ istered in the state. A t the end of 1966, that number had in­ creased to 65, 144. Counties receiving more than $100,000 of the distribution are: M ultnom ah, $2 53 ,7 84 ; L a n e , $228,865; C lackam as,$193,652; J a c k s o n , $1 35 ,8 20 ; M arion, $1 33,682; and Elouglas, $111, - 097.
