Lack of Phones ,-
Three serious fires have been
reported recently from a small
restaurant at Sixth and Willam
ette, the speaker declared. This
has been the only place where a
phone is available at odd hours,
The new boxes in the heart of
town will be automatic, and any
one will able to use them
The next project will be the
substations ' of the department,
Surfus said. Tentative locations
have been chosen' and sketches
have been drawn: These have
been accepted by the under
writers. The west area will prob'
ably receive the first substation
because it has high hazard areas,
such as mills and gasoline storage.
Cutting Grass
Currently the department is
trying to cut heavy stands of dry
grass in town, and so far has cut
150 lots, with many remaining to
be cut, the chief reported.
He also mentioned that arson
fires are on tne increase, with a
100 per cent increase showed re
cently. The trend is movinng to
the west, he declared, and several
people have been confined the
past year or are under obser
vation for starting fires in this
area. The department is also hav
ing trouble with Juvenile and in
fant age groups, the chief de
clared. The same problem is oc
curing all over the nation, and
no solution has been found.
The department here will do its
part with fire safety and fire pre-
SF.ATTLE UP) "If I'm soine
to crash, I want to be close to
home."
That was the explanation nlven
by Grover C. Greimes of Seattle
why he and a companion flew a
rudderless small plane across the
Cascade Mountains after striking
nign-iension wires near Yakima.
The plane lost its rudder and
damaged its propeller when it
struck the wires on a flight from
Kennewick to Seattle. Greimes
said he was 'blinded by the sun"
at the time.
A few moments later when
Greimes flew low over the Yaki
ma field to drop a note telling
his destination, Civil Aeronautics
Administration officials said the
plane's course was so "erratic"
that all crash equipment at the
field was mobilized.
Similar precautions were taken
at Seattle's Boeing Airport where
it was presumed the plane would
land after its hazardous flight
over the Cascades.
But Greimes brought his crip
pled craft to a safe and unevent
ful landing at Lake Air Park, a
small private airstrip east of
Washington's Mercer Island.
Greimes said he steered the
plane by "opening and closing the
doors during its cross-mountain
trip.
BELLIN'GHAM lPl Dr. Paul
Misner, nationally known educa
tor from Glencoe, ID., said here
that, agninst a background of
compulsory military training and
aggressive preparations tor an
other war, the real hone for world
schools and their reeducation of
peace rests squarely on the
youth for living.
Leader of the annual summer
conference of western Washington
College of Education which
opened with several hundred ed
ucators of the state attending.
Dr. Misner outlined the new
trend in education toward the
community school and described
the transition from a subject-
centered to a life-centered cur
riculum which the schools of to
day are adopting.
The- state institutes of the
Washington Congress of Parents
and Teachers, elementary school
principals and school supervisors
opened simultaneously on the col
lege campus, to continue through
Friday.

Presidential press secretary
Charles G. Ross declined comment
on published reports that Presi
dent Truman had sought Justice
William O. Douglas of the Su
preme Court as his running mate.
"There's no news here. It's all
in Philadelphia," Ross told a
morning news conference.
While it is regarded as probable
that President Truman will fly
to Philadelphia to accept if he is
nominated for the presidency,
Ross said that no firm plans have
been made for such a trip.
Gasoline! He Snorts,
Give Me Water!
DENVER (U.R) Gasoline is ex
pensive nowadays, so you'd think
the Denver man who struck it
while drilling for water would be
glad to see it oozing to the sur
face. ,
But Philip Schwieden isn't
happy.
The gasoline obviously is leak
ing from a nearby refinery, but
state and federal officials can't
find out which one. In the mean
time, Schwieden finds obstacles in
the way of using or selling it.
Being on his property, the fuel
Register-Guard, Eugene, Ore., Tties., July 1.1, 1948, Page
is his to sell, if he wants to pay a
state tax and collect a state tax
from whoever uses it.
'It hardly seems worth the
trouble," Schwieden explains un
happily. "I wish they'd find the
leak and let me get some water."
Cleveland Boys and Girls
Develop Thrift Habit
CLEVELAND (U.R) Greater
Cleveland boys and girls of school
age hold a record $1,000,000 in
school banking accounts.
Student accounts average
all-time high of $22 per individ
ual, compared to $11 one year ago,
according to the Society for Sav
ings, sponsors of the 23-year-old
program. The society also report
ed youthful depositors now num
ber 46,000, up 3000 from last year.
Clayton J. Hamilton, the
society's savings manager, said
the upsurge in school banking was
due to high employment and
thrift lessons taught during the
war years.
