L'pri receipt of a report of ns tster or that a pilot or person is missing the time element is im pottant. and so the Salem head quarters should be notifred first, according to the air safety man ual published by the aeronau- t ics boa rH Manual To Stipulate If it is definite the person is missing ani the area known, lixal nunty organisations will be given immediate authority to function, according to the manual The seirch and rescue program will not prevent individual search ing but this pr:n ti e is not reco mernied and will receive no com pensation from the aeronautics boird Mips will be used to locate mi-ing aircraft and the program will make use of the radio com munication facilities of the state polxe. state forestry department and the U. S forest service, and radio amateurs. Also available is the state police and the CAA teletype network The area concerned in the res cue program will comprise the en tire state and as far out to sea as is reasonably safe to fly a plane. Bordering states are also entitled to use Oregon's facilities for rescue missions Nelson expressed confidence lh.t a well-knit state organiza tion can go a long way toward saving many lives in plane crashes and other accidents. Voter9 Pamphlet Promises to Be Largest in State's History The voters pamplet now being compiled by David O'Hara, state election bureau chief, for circulation before the primary election. May 21, probably will be the largest in the history of the state. O'Hara said the first batch of candidates' statements should reach the state printer early this week. The law provides that these pamph lets shall be mailed to all registered voters in the state, which means that more wan euu.uuu will be printed. The charge for space in the pamphlet ranges from $10 to $100 per page, depending on im portance of the office sought. Records of the elections bureau show that 418 candidates filed for various offices at the primary election. The original number was 420, but there were two with drawals State Treasurer Les lie M. Scott who filed for the e pubhean nomination for governor and George N. Davis, Hood River, who filed for state representative from Hood River county. Certifies tie Ma4e Certification of candid ates' names and ballot slogans to county clerks was made Satur day. County clerks will use this information in printing their bal lots. O'Hara said the number of candidates fur this year's primary election was larger than ever be fore. He aLso estimated that the cost of this year's primary would be somewhat in excess of that in the past. Some of the additional expense will be reflected in cost of printing and mailing the pam phlets. Printing costs have ad vanced not less than 10 per cent in the past twu years, O'Hara said. O'Haia's latest estimate fixed the cost of this year's pi unary election in excess of $12a,000. Of this amount, the state will con- ! tribute approximately $4U.0uu and j the counties the remainder.

For this Is the Bulck RoadMASTER, bi&gest of all the Buicks and lively as few cars of its inches are. That broad, stretching bonnet is packed to the brim with brilliant Fireball power up to 159 hp. of it. It is velvety smooth power, too, made cushiony and quiet by Buick's new Hi -Poised engine mountings that smother vibration build-up and make engine sensation virtually imperceptible. It is power in beautiful balance with ride-steadying roadweiftht power so great that with all the bulk and size of this eighteen-foot beauty. It is one of the liveliest performers on the road, a giant obedient and gentle even under a woman's light touch. There's the room here of three person seats the traveling quiet of Sound-Sorber top lining the soft, easy stride of all -coil springing and over-size low-pressure tires on extra wide rims. There's the pace-making style of a long and graceful carriage so in stantly spotted, so distinguished in every detail, that it needs no name plate to identify it unfailingly. the utter smoothness, the quick, easy getaway, the silken flexibility of Dynaflow, the drive in which liquid replaces both the clutch and the usual low-second-high gear se quence of the conventional trans mission. Obviously, for a pace-making buy, the smart move is to see your Buick dealer with or without a car to trade and get your order in.
