An emergency ■ l»us? puts b ills in’o effect as soon as the gov ernor signs them.

Jackman Memorial to th e Editor! TO THE EDITOR I would like to take this op portunity to advise you of Mr. Norman Crowhursfs appoint m ent by the Cregcm Radiolog ica l Defense Officer's Associa tion Board of Directors to the office of second vice president in the organization. Mr. Crowhurst, of Gold Beach, was first elected to the Board of Directors by the membership and then appointed to the sec ond v ic e presidency by the Board. The Oregon Radiological De fense Officer's Association was originated and incorporated as a nonprofit professional organ ization in the State of Oregon. Since th e n , other states have now started forming like pat terned groups on a national or ganization basis. Mr. Crowhurst holds a charter membership in the ORDOA organization and has b e e n instrumental in its early growth, contributions and success. Hugh Hoi to Secretary-treasurer, ORDOA The Dalles, Oegon TO THE EDITOR Thank you for your assistance in making our Flea Market such a success. Soroptimist Club Gold Beach To The Editor: Election day has come and gone. I hope you w ill perm it me to use your communication column to express my very deep and heartfelt appreciation fo r all of the thousands of people all over the state who gave so unselfishly of their time and resources to help in my campaign fo r the United States Senate. I have asked myself often why so many do so much when their names never appear in the head lines and they must often feel that th e ir efforts go unrecog nized. I think the answer must be the same as the answer to the question as to why candidates run. It is simply that they are dedicated to their country and to the cause of good rep resentative government. If this experiment In demo cracy is to work each of us must do what we can, whether it be running fo r office, work ing fo r a political party of our choice, o r simply registering and voting. Each individual contribution goes to make up the strongest and best country on earth of which each of us is so proud. It is this multiple, manifold effort that so over shadows the few who condemn and tear down that government which all of us hope w ill u nti- mately bring freedom and peace In this world. I want this humble thanks of mine to extend as well to those who worked fo r my op ponent. While 1 disagreed with their judgment as vigorously and honorably as I could, their contribution to this competitive election process is a part of the overall great picture. I pledge, once again, my sup port to the choice of the majority both now and in the fa ll election. Rol>ert Duncan. NEW ADDRESS New address for SP4 James H. Colson, R A18962891, is Trans. Co. (BARC), 159th Trans. Bn. , \PO San Francisco, Cal. 96495. A L U M IN U M £ SCREEN DOORS 15 95 EACH ¿ ompletf WITH automatic CLOSERS ! A fund drive has been started to put up the framework fo r what could be the most fa r reaching and ambitiousprlvate- by endowed agricultural and natural resource program In O re g o n State U n i v e r s i t y history. Friends of the late E. R. Jackman are a t t e m p t in g to raise $150,000 to establish the E. R. Jackman Institute forAg-< rtcultural R e s o u rc e s In his memory. Eventually they hope to build an endowment of at least $1 m illion to perpetuate the institute. Jackman, who died last year at the age of 73, was a county agent and OSU extension farm crops specialist at OSU until his retirement In 1959. He was credited with pioneering programs whiehbrought Impro ved varieties to Oregon wheat and grass seed growers, new production techniques to potato growers, and better range man agement practices to cattle and sheep ranchers. Widely known as an author and l e c t u r e r , Jackman co authored such books as “ Gold and Cattle Country,” “ The Ore gon Desert,” and “ BlazingFor est T ra ils .” In a tribute to Jackman, Gene Lear, director of the OSU Co operative Extension Service , said, “ His Infectious person ality, his intimate knowledge of every part of Oregon, his genuine interest in all people and things—in addition to his great competency—made him welcome everywhere.” Firearms Laws Still Valid Federal firearm s s t a t u t e s remain in fu ll force fo r persons possessing firearmsorengaged in their transfer, manufacture o r importation, Homer O. V. Croasmun, IRS Regional Com missioner fo r the Western Re gion, said today. The recen* decision by the U. S. Supreme Court in the Haynes firearm s case has been misinterpreted by some fir e arms dealers and others, as relieving them of the require ments Imposed by the National Firearm s Act. In the Haynes case, theCourt held that the constitutional p riv ilege against self-incrim ination could be invoked against c rim i nal charges brought under the National Firearm s A c t,(o rfa ll ing to register a firearm or p o s s e s s in g an unregistered fire a rm . The Supreme Court did not, in its dicision, hold the National Firearm s Act or any o f its provisions to be unconstitu tional, M r. Croasmun pointed out. The underlying objective of the Act is to prevent c rim i nals from obtaining gangster- type weapons such as machine guns and sawed-off shotguns. Weapons which are covered by the National Firearm s Act There were 55 tra ffic deaths reported to the Oregon Depart ment of Motor Vehicles during May. It was the highest death to ll reported so fa r this year. The previous month, A p ril, recorded 53 deaths. The May figure, which Is subtect to revision if persons i n ju r e d in May d ie at a later date, b r o u g h t the state’ s year-to-date death to ll to 236, 22 fewer deaths than fo r the same period In 1967. There were nine m u l t i p le d e a th accidents during the month, with two of these each claiming four lives. The May to ll Included six persons killed during the last two day s ot the month as part of the Memorial Day holiday to ll. The holiday period, in cluding the firs t two days In June, resulted In 13 Oregon tra ffic deaths. Fatalities are reported Im mediately by teletype to the department, with form al police reports submitted at a later date.

Emphasis was placed onpro- grams that w ill give the best protection to the consumer and cooperation with producers and processors of various food and m ilk products Inspected by the Oregon Department of A g ricu l ture at a conference In Salem last week attended by E lm er Morgan, Coos Bay, dairy san itarian fo r this area. The conference, held by the department for personnel from Its dairy and consumer ser vices d i v i s i o n , covered a ll phases of the inspection pro grams under that division. In cluded In the discussion were m ilk and m ilk products, pro cessing of both m ilk products and foods, egg inspections and inspection of egg meat plants and package weighing. Summer Workshop SOUTH COAST ANGLING Fair spring chinook and trout fishing and excellent clam m ing and bottom fishing are being en joyed along the South Coast this week. The Rogue River continues to give up a few nice chinook to the smattering of boat anglers s till working the river. This late season effort is paying o ff as many of the fish are in the 20- 30 pound class. Spring chinook counts over Gold Ray Dam totaled 6, 1S3 tlrough May 31. This is about 2,000 fish below the 10-year average but is w e ll above last year's count w hich numbered 4, 764 by this date. A few boats venturing over the bars at G o ld Beach and Brookings in quest of salmon are loading up w ith bottom fish in stead. D rifting near the reefs working a jig or herring has been extrem ely productive for large lingcod and red snapper. Minus tides continue through Sunday for clammers. The best tides occurred earlier in the week but ambitious d ig g e r s should be able to find enough for a mess. Pelicans nest in colonies, usually on an off-shore island. Art Exhibit The Oregon W a t e r c o lo r Society's spring travelling show is currently on exhibit at the C o q u ille Valley A rt Center.
