Safety Hints in Loggerese
. Few men are as fertile in ideas (and generally, good ones)
as Floyd Cook, of Portland, Medford and way points. After
doings wartime stint on conservation of gas, tires and motor
cars, he swung into special work for the logging industry, on
its seamy log-trucking side. His work with log truckers, trying
to prevent accidents, overloading and bad public relations made
him acquainted with the common errors of driving log trucks.
So Cook suggested to Bob Farrell, secretary of state, the idea
of getting out a little booklet to wise up truckers on how to
navigate their log-carrying behemoths on public roads. Farrell
liked the idea, secured the help of Ted Kepner, safety engineer
for Crown Zellerbach, F. B. Crandall, traffic engineer for the
highway commission, Sid King of his own safety division and
Bob E vend en, director of accident prevention for the -industrial
accident commission. . r
t The result is a handy booklet, cleverly illustrated, In lan
guage a truck driver will not only" understand but appreciate.
It is being widely circulated, and is worth reading by all people
who drive-trucks or even motor cars. Besides straight infor
mation on regulations covering log truck operation are stretches
of easy reading like the following:
The guy on foot is on the short end of the odds when your
- truck is bearing down on him. So tire the Dedestrian a break.
Proceed cautiously when passing schools, playgrounds, parked
cars, when approaching intersections and at other points where
pedestrians may' be encountered. And oh, yes take it easy with
the hern. A sudden, sharp blast has been known' to scare a
pedestrian out of a week-and-a-halfs growth.
Tee good neighbor policy Is all right out there s a place for
everything. And on the highway, the practice of signalling the
car behind , you that it's safe to . pass is dynamite. For one
thing, bow do you know but that the guy is "drunker'n a skunk."
R -iiMcf rmmHr that It's Httr ti lt htm nmraail Ml hla nam
judgment, and don't stick your neck out
' Rolling a truck in modern traffic is a full-time job. There
Is no time for day-dreaming, aye-roving, or any other form of
distraction when you're riding herd on 3,000 board feet of raw
timber at 40 miles an hour in todsy's traffic. Keep your mind
on your work. The best way to get out of an emergency In traffic
is not to get Into it in the first place.

The goose that was laying golden eggs and was expected
to lay many more is showing signs of ailing. That is the con
struction goose. Her trouble seems to be the cost of high living.
New York '. reports 20,000 in building trades idle. Portland
botes that 1,000 carpenters are out of work down there. A few
lathers and painters have some time to go fishing:
Cons simply zoomed beyond the capacity or willingness
of people to pay them. The number of houses started the nation
over in the first four months this year was less than last year
and far under expectations and far under urgent needs. But
few GIs were able to finance homes coating from $10,000 to
$12,000. Under necessity, not from choice, many families con
tinue to live in tiny apartments or trailer houses, tht house of
their wartime dreams, slowly fading from sight as prices rose.
It's the old tale of the dog chasing his tail. The spiral of
wage increases and price increases, one touching off the other,
has lifted building costs to the upper plateaus.
When will coats come down? The materialman may say
they can't come down because wages are fixed at high scales.
The building trades unions say the scales are not, too high for
the cost of living, that materials should be reduced to stimulate
building. It may be the old story of an irresistible force meeting
an immovable body. If it is, the. price-wage dike may bust
with a roar, and wash out a lot of prosperity- with it.
There is still so much pent-up demand for construction that
modest recessions in costs would seem to be all that is needed
to bring a lot of blueprints out of pigeonholes and onto con
tractors' estimating boards. How long that will take is what
will worry, a lot of people the Portland carpenters, the New
York plasterers, the Eugene lumbermen and house-hungry GIs.
NP Cancel Streamliner Plans
The Northern Pacific has announced cancellation' of its
plans to put on a daily streamliner to operate between Chicago
Sl Paul and' the Pacific northwest. It's statement said that it's
study indicated that' there was not sufficient traffic in sight
to make three daily streamliners pay covering parallel routes.
Already the Great Northern has one such training operating
and the Milwaukie has one coming up. In addition the Union
Pacific streamliner drains off some business that might use
the northern routes.
- The NP managers are probably well advised. Three stream
liners in daily service seems a bit. thick, compared with none
before, or compared with one every six days on the UP. With
longer mileage and higher mountain passes the NP would have
a harder time maintaining schedules. Moreover the track re
building would- be quite experuuye-r-the GN did extensive
rebuild in r and some relocation before mittine on its stream
liner. Undoubtedly on single track lines the-speed trains .require
better clearance of track than the conventional trains, which
means that freights may have to stay longer on sidings. All in
all, the NP may be ahead on the deal, financially, by letting the
other roads compete for the high speed, luxury travel.
. But if the NP has some streamline equipment on order we
can point to a section where it may be put to good use, that
is the stretch between Portland and Seattle. Here is a "natural"
for Ifast service double track, excellent roadbed, no heavy
grades, good traffic volume in sight: Only the sluggishness
induced by suppression of competition through pooling the
passenger service seems to have prevented introduction of
streamline service here long ago. The NP is the pioneer rail
road of the northwest. It might do a teeny, weeny bit of pio
neering again with fast train shuttling between Seattle
and Portland.
A Valuable Property
If the Chemawa Indian school actually is closed by the
federal government, as appears possible, the 1947 state legis
lature could well be sorry it tabled the house joint memorial
which formally asked congress that Chemawa be given to the
state of Oregon, , ,
The memorial. Introduced by Rep. O. H. Bengtson of Med
ford early in the legislative session, was adopted by the house
February 28 but was tabled by the senate two weeks later. It
would have put Oregon formally on record as asking that in
event of the abandonment of Chemawa Indian school, favorable
consideration be given to the matter of making available the
facilities of said school to the state of Oregon.
Facilities at Chemawa are relatively extensive. There are
several out-mod ed buildings, some quite modern. Agricultural
and" livestock enterprises are of value. Basic utilities are ade
quate. School structures appear in good shape. Equipment, in
cluding that for athletics, Unavailable.
In direct proximity to a populous area and well served by
transportation, there is nothing about Chemawa that suggests
it might be a burdensome White Elephant, such as was feared
regarding-Camp White. We have no desire to see our Indian
neighbors disenfranchised educationally, but if Chemawa is to

Farm Tour
Contest Won j
By Joe Tesch
By Llllle L. Madsen
farm Editor, The Statesman
Joe Tesch of St. Louis, a 4-H
boy with a turkey project, rated
100 per cent in a beef judging
contest held Saturday noon at the
John Banick 160-acre farm in the
Pioneer community.
The judging was a feature of
the final of a series of three farm
tours sponsored this spring by the
Marion County Livestock associa
tion. Claude Steusloff, president,
and Harry L. Riches, county agent,
were in charge of Saturday's tour.
Placing second in the contest
was Janice Bishop who has a 4-H
sheep project. Tying for third,
were Virgil Lucas of Fairfield,
Shirley Hennies of Cloverdale and
and Ronald Banick. Nancy Bur
fare of Mission Bottom won 4th
place. Each of the three top-place
winners were presented with a
rope halter made by their host.
More than 75 persons followed
the tour and picnicked on the at
tractive Banick lawn. Included
in the group were 28 veterans,
headed by F. P. Larson, instruct
or, who are studying agriculture
under the veterans' training pro-:
gram.
Steers Quadruple Weight
The four Hereford steers Judged
were bought by Banick on Thanks
giving Day from Irving and Pat
Mann at Adams weighing a total
of from 300 to 373 pounds. Since
then they have been, fed 12 pounds
of grain and two of clover hay
daily, and now they deigh from:
300 to 375 apiece, said Bob Ban
ick, club member who has charge;
of the feeding.
- First stop of the tour was at
the D. L. St John farm east of
Gervais where a very modern
and convenient poultry plant was
viewed. Dorset sheep, a very good
stand of Willamette vetch, an ex
ceptionally fine growth of Ken
ny wheat planted in March on
clover sod, and several acres of
barley were also inspected at the
Banick farm.
See Registered Guernseys
- From Banicks the group went
to Otis VanBlaricums to see their
registered Guernsey cattle. The
VanBlaricums bought 120 acres
withodt buildings two years ago
and now there are an attractive
dwelling house, a loafing shed, a
milking parlor, calf barn and milk
house. VanBlaricum plans on com
plete grassland farming. His herd
sire is Oak Park Felix, a 16-month
old animal who traces his ances
try directly to Langwater Fore
most. That pigs need no longer be
pigs was demonstrated at the Flor
en Zielinski farm near St. Paul,
the final stop of the day. His 38 by
50 feet hog bouse, now under con
struction, is being built with five
farrowing pens, electric brooders,
cement feeding troughs, alleyways
and separate sleeping quarters.

in dress, paying more attention
now to picking "clothes that cap
italize on assets and cover up de
fects." Less prudish and less strict
in morals, they are not as well
satisfied with their lot as their
mothers of 50 years ago. The num
ber who drink excessively has
risen from 6.3 per cent to 17.3
per cent in the last decade.
Education has done things to
women. They are considered more
intelligent now, and are less in
clined to think "like women."
Women still prefer a home and
children to a business career. They
still have limitations as execu
tives. Fewer women. In propor
tion marry, and those who do.
marry earlier than women used
to.
On the question: Are women
doing a better job of being moth
ers? the question is in the nega
tive. They have shifted child
rearing' to outside agencies with
the result that children are over
stimulated and less well-adjusted.
They are better cooks than
their grandmothers however, be
cause they have better equipment,
more varied materials and have
learned more about the science of
cookery.
You seldom hear toasts at ban
quets now: "To the ladies, God
bless them." But they still claim
the affection of men and mani
fest a high degree of patience in
trying to live with them. So the
mothers are entitled to a bou
quet once a year.

School Board
Election Set
For June 16
With two -positions open, and
but one candidate announced,
election for Salem school board

Saturday. Nominating petitions

four times. She has served as
chairman for a portion of each

H. Swift, appointed January 23 to
replace Lester Barr, who re
signed. Swift has not yet revealed
his decision as to filing. The term
would be for three years instead
of the regular five.
To Salem's population, which
has usually yielded a very light
vote, (last year totaling 338) the
consolidation added an estimated
8500 persons. School census for
the new areas 'is 1718, according
to Ward.
Nominating petitions must be
by 10 eligible to vote and must
be accepted by the candidates by
June 10.
