Thompson, 2345 S. Church St, a son, Thursday, Oct 29, -at Salem General Hospital Three States Planning Study On Triick Fees Officials' of Oregon, Washing ton and Idaho will meet in Olym pia. Wash Wednesday to study reciprocal agreements involving truck fees. Oregon officials said Thursday an Idaho law effective Jan. 1, 1954, threatenes the entire reciprocal program. Agreements virtually had been reached on reciprocal agreements at previous conferences involv ing the three states on passenger cars and commercial vehicles up to 20,000 pounds, but no agree ment has been reached on trucks weighing in excess of 20,000 pounds. In event no agreement is reached it would mean that each of the states would be obligated to collect a license fee on this class of trucks! entering from neighboring states. Such trucks now are not obligated to pay any fees other than those in the state in which they are registered. To Represent Oregon ' Assistant Secretary of State William Healy will represent Ore gon at the Olympic conference. "Under existing statues Oregon is only permitted to waive its li cense fees on commercial trucks entering the state from neighbor ing states if these states act on the same basis," Healy.' said. Ore gon cannot waive its weight-mile tax. He said some states are seek ing a so-called third structure tax in order to collect from Ore gon vehicles using their high ways. - r " The question of recipocity be tween states is so important, of ficials said, that the Council of State Governments has placed it on its agenda at a meeting in Los Angeles next month, according to Healy. Newbry to Attend State Highway Engineer R, H, Baldock and Secretary of State Earl T. Newbry will attend the session. Newbry also has urged that -the Oregon Legislative High way Interim Committee study the problem. .; Healy will meet Eugene Myers, Idaho budget director, at the Portland airport next Tuesday and drive him to Olyrapia where the conference will be held in Governor Arthur Langlie s office. Traffic Death Toll on Climb Oregon street and highway smashups during September gave that month the third worst traffic death rate so far this year, state traffic safety division officials said Thursday, .' . The death rate, based on the number of persons killed as com pared with miles traveled, was 6.5 for September. This means, divi sion officials said, that for each 100,000,000 vehicles miles travel ed slightly more than six persons were killed in collisions. September's traf fie toll, 41 boosted'Oregon's count so far this year to 286. While this is below that for the corresponding period last year, the safety division said reports for October gave every indication that motor deaths are again climbing dangerously high. Former! City Resident Dies Funerad services were held at Alvarado, Minn., for Mrs. Mary Melby. 71. former resident of Salem, who died Oct 19.

Commercial m m m t By CONRAD PRANGE Staff Writer, The Statesman t Tonight is one night when the older generation hopes the young er generation fails to display that drive and initiative which the present crop of kids is not sup posed to have. ' Halloween is one night when most parents hope that most kids will look for the security of home and party, rather than strike out on their own on a round of van dalism.. A survey here showed that youngsters of past generations also looked for sure things on Halloween : night Most of these pranks were peculiar to those days of living and could lot be duplicated today. So it should be safe in mentioning them. One sure thing on Halloween night remembers Marion County Engineer Hedda Swart, were out houses. These items of a bygone era were considered fair game by everyone. "We not only tipped them over," recalls Hedda, "but the prevailing custom in Turner was to throw them into the nearby Mill Race. The next morning ev erybody went down to fish. them out" Dismantling buggies, hoisting them up to barn tops and then reassembling then) again, was another piece of mischief pulled in those days. Even Sheriff Denver Young, whose deputies will be out petrol ing the county roads tonight to halt vandalism, remembers when the town of Springfield woke up on the morning following Prank Night and found a buggy lodged atop the town s livery stable. In the : days of big front porches, recalls County Assessor Tad Shelton, Salem kids got a big bang out of tieing the front door knob to the nearest porch post using a long rope, and householders couldn't open the door to answer the kids ringing. If the youngsters happened on a lone buggy they would remove the. wheels and then replace the larger hind wheels on the front axle and the smaller front wheels on the rear axles, thus giving the vehicle a decided .slope to the rear. . "But we didn't do anything destructive," Tad said. "If we did we were easily recognized and then our parents found out about it and likely would have to pay for it And we didn t stay out late, either. Parents again." One of the reasons the' kids were out on those long ago Hal loween Nights, according to Spraker Gets CD Position Lawrence E. Spraker, publish er of the Stayton Mail, has been named head of the mass care group of Marion County Civil Defense and disaster chairman for the Red Cross. The appointment was an nounced Friday by Elton Thomp son, chairman of the Red Cross, and Wallace S. Wharton, director of civil defense in Marion Coun ty. Sparker succeeds John M. Lamb who resigned.
