A "Living Memorial" Heart Gift
In an almost-literal sense, Sunday, February 26,
which has been officially designated as I Ieart Sunday
by the Curry County Heart Association, might well
be looked upon as a Memorial Day to a majority of our
loved ones who have passed away in recent years.
This suggestion seems appropriate because dis
eases of the heart and blorid vessels are responsible for
more than 52 per cent of all deaths , anil because there
is no more effective way to honor the memory of the
departed than by a “living memorial'' expressed in
terms of a gift to the Heart Fund.
Your Heart Fund gift may help others—perhaps
even yourself—to additional years of health and liap-
iness. It will go to sustain the fight against diseases
of the heart and blood vessels through research, edu
cation and community heart programs. It is a living
memorial to which attaches the lofty and buoyant
spirit of hope.
These are things to remember when a I Ieart
Fund volunteer rings your doorbell next Sunday after
noon. Extend to her your thanks for the work she is
doing. I lave for her a friendly smile, a warm hand
clasp. Insert a generous gift in the Heart Sunday
envelope she presents.
REMEMBER! Welcome Your Heart Fund Volunteer
on I Ieart Sunday, February 26th.
Drivers Exams Could Be Different!
In our more than two years in living in this
great state of Oregon we have found little fault to find
with the State Government. And that’s odd, because
we are almost professional fault finders. We go out of
our way koking for things to pick at.
Generally speaking, the state is run on an effic
lent progressive basis, Every state has its share of
troubles, mainly because of limited budgets, hut ( )regon
actually ’eaves little to complain about.
I lowever, we just can’t work up any enthus
iasm for the w.iy driving licenses are issued here.
I bis, perhaps, is strictly a local problem because of the
inaccessibility <4 Brookings to the population centers.
But it is a definite problem here, and it m.éy he one
in other areas of the state.
T wice a month, a driving license examiner
»pends an afternoon in Brookings, giving examinations
md the old city hall is always filled with applicants
Always the applicant must waste the whole afternoon
take the necessary tests.
Why couldn’t some other means he devised?
Wouldn’t the state hire additional examiners to relieve
he congestion? Most of the applicants would lx- will
ng to pay .1 gtxxl sum to finish the test in an hour,
ather than four. Thursday afternoon is one of those
lays that most people have to earn a living, and four
lours off represents quite a piece of cliangt* to the
iverage worker.
\ not her remedv would he to follow the pro
edure used in other states namelv, to put the test
hi a !<x 1 h ’sis, with the local police handling the
xamitiation. W hen we got our fust license hack East
t was only a is minute job .md it could lx- done .it
mv tune that the local officers were tree We do Ixlieve
hat the hxal police have enough problems during the
.seek, hut it could he done. I lie state could argue that
1 trained examiner would do a Ixtter job hut we
lis.igree. We think that the hxal officer, Ixcause (4 Ins
position of knowing the applicant, might lx- 111 a Ix tter
x*sition than the stranger, on the actual driving test
\nd, as for the written examination amone could
»ive that
As we see it, there are a lot of people driving
iround in this community today without a license
n.iuily because they can t afford the inconvenience
md the loss of money—to spend an afternoon taking
he examination.

I am som ew hat
puzzled as to the ex a ct duties
of th is m asculine aide in the bed
room. Does he hold the tro u sers
properly agape so th a t the in
tended in h ab itan t can leap in to
them from th e bed? Does be
b u tton one’s shirt w hile one is
engaged in shaving? Does the
victim help at all, or dees he
ju st hang limp on a coat hanger
w hile th e ex terio r decorator does
th e d rap in g ?
T hese a re questions which may
ap p e ar ridiculous to those not
in terested in doing things in th e
proper m anner, but for those of
us who hold such m a tte rs in the
utm ost reverence a crisis is at
hand
To m ake m atte rs even m ore

th a t C harles Boyer, w inner of
th e n atio n ’s annual aw ard f o r ’

that no m an should ev er appear

an hour at 'east w ith his dress.
Personally, I suspect th a t he

Probably the reason for Boy

the m orning ordeal of g etting

public’s critical inspection.
In Boyer’s case, though per
haps he is acting judiciously. If
his m e n tality ' is com parable to

denizens, to face the daily o r
