Registration For May 21 Primary Slow Voter registration in Marion County continues slow and Coun ty Clerk Henry Mattson says the coming May 21 primary may see a "lower than usual" number of voters at the polls. No figures on registration were available yet this weekend but Mattson said that judging from past election experiences many potential voters have yet to reg ister. Registration books will close April 20, until after the election. This, said Mattson, gives his of fice a month in which to assign voters to proper precincts in the file and to determine how many ballots to have printed and how to rotate candidate s names on the ballots. Those desiring to register may do so at the clerk's office in the temporary courthouse in the School Administration Office building on North High street or with the 47 deputy registrars scattered over the county in most communities. Location of the latter may be had from community or town of ficials or from the county clerk's office. The rule on registration seems to be, if you voted in either the 1952 primary or general election you need not register unless you've moved out of your pre cinct orhave not registered here before. Both Republican and Demo cratic political organizations are working on programs designed to get citizens to register to vote. The Marion County Republican Central Committee is conducting a non-partisan, non-political cam paign. Letters were mailed this weekend to all Republican coun ty precinct committeemen urging them to contact all residents in their precincts, regardless of par ty, and to encourage all eligible voters to register. The Marion County Democrat ic Club said it is launching a pro gram in Marion County towns de signed to encourage registration. Voter Rolls Being Updated Police Work Pays Off Man In Happiness CHARLESTON, W. Va. cuilord Cochran, 24, says there's a wrong way to look at money. He is a Charleston patrolman be cause he likes the work. He took a $500 a month cut in wages to come back to the force after a brief absence. Cochran has wanted) to be a policeman as long as he can re member. When he was in grade school, the friendly cop on the beat was Dewey Williams, pres ent chief of police here. Williams was the youngster's hero. In September, 1951, Cochran took the oath as a patrolman. Soon thereafter he was married. The $290 a month a patrolman makes didn't go very far. "When a chance came to grab a high-paying job, I didn't think twice I grabbed," Cochran says. He became a boilermaker at Marietta, Ohio. His pay jumped from $290 to $800 a month and more with overtime. "But I wasn't happy," he says. I learned there that money isn't everything. He talked it over with bis wife and, although they now had a month-old son another mouth to feed, she agreed he should rejoin the bluecoats. Seven months after leaving, Cochran came back. For the first time since he left, he says, he was a happy man. FBI to Transfer Portland Agent PORTLAND W - A new FBI agent will take charge of the Portland FBI office in about three weeks.

Water Outlook In Northeast Oregon Good LA GRANDE U"u-Ttae water runoff will be smaller than usual, but most of Northeastern Oregon is expected to have enough irriga tion water in the coming six months. Forecasters - said here Friday that a few areas might have short ages, because of lack of snow on lower elevations. The amount of snow higher up is about normal. No flooding is expected in the spring runoff. Of the principal streams the Burnt River and the Grande Ronde River have the least satisfactory outlook. The Burnt is expected to carry only 60 per cent of its normal volume this year, and the Grande Ronde about 63 per cent. Of the others, Catherine Creek is expected to be about 90 per cent of normal. Bear Creek 97 per cent, Lostine River 99 per cent and Hurricane Creek 94 per cent. Man Dies in Truck Wreck MADRAS. Ore.

Morse Asks Democrat Vote in State MEDFORD. Ore. Uri Sen Wayne Morse of Oregon Friday night called for a program of "massive retaliation against re cession." Here as principal speaker for the fourth annual Franklin D. Roose velt Memorial dinner, Morse out lined for some 500 Southern Ore gon Democrats a program which he said would improve the eco nomic condition of the state and nation. This program calls for more public works including construction of roads, schools and hospitals. It also calls, for "full and prompt" development of the re gion's river resources, he said "At a minimum John Dav Dam and Ice Harbor should be put un der construction at the earliest possible moment. Certainly The Dalles and Chief Joseph Dams should be kept on scheduled," the former Republican who became an independent during the last prsi- dental campaign, declared. ' Give us Democrats we can work with who will not go along with (Secretary of the Interior) McKay's private utility gang. And give us a senator and congress men who will work for Hells Can yon," he said. Morse was introduced by Josep?" K. Carson, Portland attorney and Democratic candidate for gover nor. Howard Morgan, state Demo cratic chairman, was toastmaster B47 Stratojets Get Increased Takeoff Power of 1,000 pounds of thrust each, 15 more than previously, and a water injection system in the six jet en gines give the added power, en gineers explained. The rocket rack also can be drooped after its power is expend ed, instead of becoming so much dead weight as before, they said. The new water injection system consists of spraying a mixture of water and alcohol into the com bustion chambers of the six jet en gines, increasing the velocity of the jet gases, they added. Test flights of the 600-mile-an-hour plane, with the new features, have been made both at the Ed wards Air Force Base in California and at Wichita. Kan. A Boeing spokesman said that only under extreme conditions would both new systems have to be used simultaneously, but added: "If needed, the added power is there at the flick of a switch." Stat man.

It must be correctly made, with the most expert crafts manship. It must be finished to enhance the grain and beauty of the richly figured veneers or solid cabinet woods, or tailored to do justice to fine fabrics. Such meticulous standards create an atmosphere of goodness you can actually see a distinctive character that speaks, in your home, of taste for gracious living. That Is why Hamilton's has furnished so many fine Salem homes, so often served successive generations of a family. At regular Hamilton's prices, this extra touch of; distinction costs you no more.
