Purple Geese FlyirigNorth SACRAMENTO, Calif - (AP) Bird watchers: it you see a purple or even a pink goose flying over don't do anything rash. I ia probably just one of 430 Rons and White Snow Geese the California State Fish and Game Department dipped In the dyt pots as part of an experiement to plot Fluoridation Loses 10 to 2 in Oregon Votes By THE ASSOCIATED PRESS The controversial measure to add fluorides to drinking water went down to defeat in 10 out of the 12 Oregon cities in which the measure, appeared on Friday's primal? election ballot. Fluoridation either lost or wai trailing in Bend, Salem, Albany, Ashland, Lebanon, Stayton, Hood River, Seaside, St Helens and Os wego. , In Roseburg the voters gave their favorable recommendation but it is not binding on the city council. McMinnville voters ap proved fluoridation by a count of 1,531 to 1,023. In Bend, the Central Oregon city which figured In a state Supreme Court ruling on fluoridation, the voters rejected the proposal, 2.S44 to 1,407. The Supreme Court had ruled some time sgo that cities have the right to fluoridate their water supplies. Bend has pur chased equipment for the project but Installation was delayed pend ing the outcome of the election. Fluoridation lost by. a narrow margin In Albany, 1,45 to 1.2, but the defeat was more decisive in Hood River, Ashland and Seaside. for the other improvements," Mayor While said. Vote Regretted As to the defeat of fluoridation, the mayor said he regretted this negative vote but would abide by it by considering fluoridation a dead issue. He had been one of the fluoridation advocates. But Dr. W. J. Stone, county-city health officer and another sponsor of the proposal to add fluoride to the water supply, indicated a cam paign for fluoridation would con tinue. "It's unfortunate, but we'll have to work harder," he said of the election. "Our youngsters will probably wonder some day why it was so difficult for their parents to make up their mind, said Dr. Stone. The big water bond issue got the heaviest "yes" vote among the nine finance measures. The com plete returns from 45 of the city's 53 precincts that were available for counting by Saturday night showed 1.927 to 3.782 edge for that bond issue. It is to be paid off by water revenues and is expected to bring the first raise in Salem water rates in 40 years. Street Preject The street widenings, recom mended on the basis of heaviest traffic count among non-highway streets, led by .383 to 4.278. The bridge bonds showed 3,444 in favor and 4.929 against. The old wood bridges to be replaced by concrete bridges are those on High Street and on Lee Street over Shelton Ditch and on North 14th and South 25th over Mill Creek. Fire Issues Defeated Two fire department issues de signed to save Salem citiiens $130. 000 a year in fire insurance pre mimums went down to defeat, too. One was a $65,000 bond proposal to finance a fire alarm system and the other a 137,000 annual tax to pay eight additional firemen. The $700,000 park bonds for ac quiring new parks and improving present parks was Denirw oy ro to 5,689. The margin of defeat was worse for the proposed library tax of $30,000 one year, and the one-year $50,000 airport tax, both! to make long recommended im provement of city" facilities. j Noa-Moaey Issaes Three ballot measures without dollar signs attached were ac cepted by the voters. These are law changes to liberalize firemen's pensions, to remove the residence requirements for new police of ficers and to notify property own ers by mail instead of property i posting when they art directed to put in s'tlewalks. Both runoff alderman candidates and unopposed city officer can didates will appear on the Novem ber ballot, under the city's w partisan election procedure. Tbt unopposed candidates were Robert r.

Nominated McKay Wins Endorsement Of Marion County Voters Vote Counting Long Grind ForWorkers (Plrtare Page One) Counting votes in the primary election was a long, grueling grind for many a Salem area election board worker. Some dozen boards were still rnuntintf vnfoa Kotiirrfov aftprnnnn ! Several boards ran into Saturday1 evening before completing com pilations, j Delays in completing the job oc-: curred in districts with heaviest voting registration. This election's unusually long ballot helped delay the process. Relief crews took over in a num ber of precincts Saturday morning as weary colleagues who had com piled figures into the wee hours stumbled off to bed. Workers on one counting board reportedly worked through Friday night and into early Saturday after noon before obtaining relief, ac cording to City Recorder Alfred Mundt. Counting crews were on the job in the city's 53 precincts as soon as polls opened Friday morning. Additional workers took over the night-time task and it was some of them that found the grind a long one as night moved into day. Polls were located in every con ceivable place churches, canner ies, schools, dairies, business firms, a bank and even the Salem Senators' baseball park. One eye-weary woman vote tabu lator remarked in the wee hours of Saturday: "This work can get pretty tedious but then it is a part of the privilege of being an American." That seemed to sum up the at titude of most board workers. And, of course, there's a paychetfk also. ; H .A ( : Patrick McCarthy was nominated Democratic ticket for Mar ion County canmissioaer.

(Story also on page one.) PORTLAND i City Commis sioner Stanley W. Earl amassed a big lead Saturday in his race for re-election, enough for a majority so he will not face a runoff in the fall.

Elmer Bennett, district court clerk, was unopposed for the Re publican nomination as county clerk. Only one post on the county com mission was a.t. stake in the pri mary. F. J. Becker of Gresham and Charles L. Paine were run ning a close race for the GOP nomination. M. James Glason, the Democratic incumbent, was as sured of his party's renomination.
