builders should have enough ma
terials to get construction general
ly underway in this area by March
1, Mayor Riley said today on re
turn from a housing conference
at Washington.
Although such materials an lum
ber, clay products, and electrical
fixtures are scarce, top priorities
for home construction should
make a sufficient supply available,
he reported.
In Washington he conferred
with housing officials and heads
of municipal associations.
Willamette Prof
Discusses Teen
Agers at Club
Adolescents of today are prod
ucts of today's culture, Dr. Law
rence Riggs, professor of educa-
tion at Willamette university,
maintained as he addressed the
Hollywood Lions club at its Wed
nesday noon meeting.
Because there are not sufficient
jobs for all of the young, the old
and the -middle-aged, boys and
girls are kept in school longer
than they were only a compara
tively short time ago, a practice
which has given rise, he said, to
rthe saying that "Life begins at
3:30."
The urge of the individual for
a status, a feeling of permanency,
a feeling of being needed, has
been a determining factor in the
mental maladjustment of many
young persons, he declared. Need
ed and renponsive to calls from
industry during the war, many
are now being pushed into the
background,' he pointed out.
Schools are readjusting their
curricula to turn out, not just
scholars but well rounded indi
viduals, he declared, urging that
communities face their responsi
bility in planning for human con
servation.

Gurske Blames
Carelessness
For 500 Lives
Caution and thought might
have saved 500 lives in Oregon
last year, and surely would have
saved 400, Paul Gurske, chairman
of the slate industrial accident
commission, told the Salem Lions
club Thursday noon.
There were 42,000 accidents re
ported to his commission last
year, a reduction of 14.000 from
1943's record. One hundred eigh
teen fatal industrial accidents
were recorded, with logging and
log hauling heading the list, fol
lowed by sawmilling. Shipbuild
ing had 15 per cent less fatal ac
cidents than the logging indus
try, largely because of safety pre
cautions, he declared.
The commission paid out
$5,328,200 for largely preventable
accidents last year, he said, but
industrialists did not lead in the
number of preventable accidents.
There were 345 fatalities among
4000 automobile accidents re
ported, and $27,156 was paid out
of the fund for care of indigents
injured in such accidents.
'Gurske "told of lives lost in
logging operations because the
orders of the commission had
been flouted, and of other loss of
life because simple precautions
were not followed.
The Salem Lions club is spon
soring an educational program for
motorists and pedestrians, urging
caution.
