Being Formed
By Conrad Fringe
SUff Writer. Th Statesman
Marion county unit of the state
wide air search , and rescue plan
for use in the event of missing
planes and for other disasters
la being formed here by H. C.
(Hub) Saalfeld.
The state plan, announced last
week by the state board of aero
nautics, is a program of pre
paredness in case of emergencies
and ia a means of promoting air
same-ty for pilots and other fly
ing personnel.
It will also be utilised in public
emergency flights, flood or hur
ricane evacuation, to carry emer
gency food and other supplies to
j snowbound, stranded or wounded
persons, and for other events in
the interest of public safety and
; health.
Under the plan the state is di-
. vided into air and ground zones.
The civil air patrol is responsible
for the air program and Lt.
J E Cannon of Salem is to di-rei.-t
that division in this county.
County directnrs are appointed to
handle the ground set up.

The search and rescue pro
gram encxi r a ?ed pilots to file
flight plans as a gcxid insurance
toard being rescued in case of
accident. Nelson said.
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. Coun-

Take a searching look beneath
the smart lines of this brawny
traveler and you'll meet up with
things you'll itch to get your hands
on.
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.
