First examination under the new policy will be held in Portland on March 1. While this will be the first examination of the kind to be held in Oregon, it is not inconceivable that earlier game com missions would have endeavored to do much the same sort of thing had Oregon made provision for the scientific training 01 men ior mis sort 01 work. But, up to a relatively short time ago, only a few of the courses, completion of which will now be required of applicants, were available in the colleges of this state. It was necessary, therefore, that the commission or its executives pick lively young men and train them in the work. Recently, however, graduates who had maiored in fisheries and game management work as well as in rantre management. forestry, agriculture and biology became available. Some of these were employed by the commission. With their back ground of special study and training, they developed rapidly as they gained actual experience and the present commission came to the conclusion that full advantage should be taken of the opportunity for drawing on this new source of personnel supply. The conclusion was also reached that the commission should obtain the services of the best of the specially trained men available and that, to this end, competitive examinations should be held. When these examinations are held, only those who have completed the four-year course affording this training and who have established residence in Oregon will be eligible. Experience will be considered. A written test covering fish and game management will be given, and each applicant who rates satisfactorily will be granted a personal interview. Adoption of this new schedule of requirements for employ ment is not to be taken as affecting men already on the payroll, it is explained by Bend's commissioner, Kenneth Moody. Those now employed, as he points out, are also trained men, but the trained men of the future will have learned the easier and quicker way. The advantages to the state made possible through the decision of the present commission are, however, obvious. It will be hoped that its action will establish a precedent which will.be followed by other commissions in later years. The man" who reads Our editorials called in last night to question the arithmetic in the next to the last paragraph of a discussion on the use of the gasoline tax. Of course the writer was;not at fault, so it must have been the typesetter or the proof reader. The net result, however, was that the figures giving comparative cost of car operation on pavements, gravel and earth road just didn't jibe. As it should have appeared the difference between per mile operation cost on pavement and on earth road is 1.2 cents per mile. The correction has already been given orally to the man who-reads our editorials. It is printed here for the sake of the record. Believing, as we do, that Bonneville's vn'ue and importance in the northwest is in direct proportion to the number of new industries it attracts we are glad of the news that an iron mill has .been signed up by Administrator Raver. This is indus trial user number two. Congratulations to the Bonneville administration and to the city of Vancouver where the new plant, like that of the Aluminum company, is to be built. Oregon Editorials BONNEVILLE BOOKKEEPING - (Salem Statesman) Inicw nf Administrator Paul J Havers recent report to congress whi& mentions an imminent "ser ious shortage of power in the north west,' and in which are included varidiis estimates of demand running into -the hundreds of thousands of kilowatts, it may be that some resi dents of this region may be a bit con futed about the actual present sit uation with respect to Bonneville. According to the report, existing contract call for delivery of 51, Mi kilowatts of power. Of this item more will be said presently. It H announc ed that an additional CS.COfl kilowatt load from municipal, rural electrifi cation and private enterprises may Lc counted upon when Bonneville has facilities for delivery. On top of that,' negotiations are in progress witn private concern. and individ uals-which may account for an addi- tional load of approximately 100,100 kilowatts: and sponsors of public emmets nave applied lor or signed contracts for around 420.000 kilo atts but none of these is ready to take, power in the near future. Then thera are additional applications and inquiries for approximately 180.000 kilowatts. If all these figures represented ac tual, immediate clamor for Bonnc vill powcr these would indeed be a "serious thortagc." As a matter of fact all of the items beyond the lir'.t two urc decidedly vague and uncertain,- Bonneville's present capacity is Wi,400 kilowatts; the proposed addi tion. of two more generators next yean plus the availability of 25.000 kilowatts from Grand Coulee thif coiiung August, will bring the total up to 219.400 kilowatts sometime in l!Mlf bringing the northwest's total eapjn ity up to 1.677,000 kilowatts of which 45 per cent would be publicly owned. ' As for Bonneville's existing con tract for 57.000 kilowatts, aopar Mitly 32,500 represents the Alum inum Company of America contract which will not call for delivery until Chapel in Back Yard I Attracts Worshippers Dowtown.

To tell the truth, she was reaching the end of her own particular string and whether or not she would be able to hold on to the frayed ;nd was a debatable question. It had been almost a year, 328 days, to be exact, since she had found her job it couldn't be any stretch of imagina tion be called a position in Mrs. Pringle's Make-Over Hat Shop. She had been desperately alone then. She was desperately alone now. She heated creamed dried beef, frugally held over from the previous evening's dinner, on a gas plate in a corner of her uncomfortable little room. She made a slice of toast. She ladled four stewed figs into a dish and placed two cookies on a plate. To give her morale a lift, she took two precious silver spoons -from a bureau drawer, reacting delightedly, as always, to their satiny luster. She tried to eat, really tried. It was useless. Getting water from the bathroom on the floor below, she washed the dishes. She wrapped the spoons in tissue and put them away. Then she tried all the usual things, an hour of constructive reading, a magazine atory. the triumphant, happy ending adding to her depres sion. She played three games of solitaire. It was 8:30. Suffocating loneliness crowded in on her. The loneliness had become so real a thing that it seemed to have form and substance, terrifying form and substance. Ann glanced at the evening paper, her eyes skipping over war news, avoiding the most recent murder. Turning to the society page, she looked at the pictures of brides and debutantes and out-of-town visitors. Suddenly her eyes widened. 'There," she said alound. "that's the way I'll make my new dress." She studied the picture of a gill who had been caught by a candid camera as she stepped from a smart road ster. "That's just the way I'll make it. Ann cut out the picture and put it in her purse. It was 8:45. ' Ann undressed. Taking her bath towel, praying for hot water, just a little hot water, she went to the ancient bathroom. Ann had the only room on the third floor of what had once been a fine old home. Jt was on Chicago's West Side and built before the city's elite decided upon the vicinity of Sheridan Drive as the correct ad dress. Ann's miserable room had once quartered a servant. a a It was a few minutes past 0 when she turned down the nhabby worn coverings of her thin bed. Her beauty-loving fingers resented the feel of the cotton blanket and coarse sheet. She switched off her light, opened the window. The deep, broad casement window was the room's sole redeeming feature. Ann paused beside it, as soft spring air crept up from the alley below. She gazed at a lighted window across the way. There he was, the big, dark young man. He sat in a wooden rocking chair, his cheek rest ing on a clenched fist, reading stead ily. Ann knew that she should not stand in her window and gare at the young man. it wasn't polite. Just the same, she had done it often. Not that she was romantically interested In him Ann was riot romantically in clined. She had her own ideas con cerning life. It was a luxury and luxuries were not for her. She went to bed lying tensely quiet. Dreading sleep, she lay with her eyes open. The dream might come if she slept and the dream wa a shattering tiling. She was always fighting her way through a crowd on a downtown street, part of the crowd but invisible. In the dream she was jostled this way and that, battered until she finally fell to the side walk, begging and pleading. Feet trampled her and she cried out No one heeded her cries, the feet trampled and kicked and scuffed until she awoke, sobbuig her pro tests. Ana did not know tliat a psy chiatrist would have credited her dream u a lonely fixation; she only knew that its recurrence was wreck ing her nervous system. She lay very still, her slim little body traight under the blanket She was getting too thin. Eating alone, day in day out, did not make for ap petite. Ann's hands clenched. It wasn't reasonable that girl like herself, 20 Your Income Tax Deduction For Interest Amounts paid or accrued within the taxable year 1939 as interest on indebtedness and deductible, with certain exceptions, from gross income in determining net income.

Pretty enough? That was putting it much too mildly. Ann had shining bronze hair, its golden high light', and lovely wave had been lavishly granted by nature. Her eyes were dark gray, wide and childish, her red mouth curved deliriously. Sometimes Ann wondered how long she would continue to walk alone, how soon, for sheer want of companionship, she would respond to the masculine advances which constantly came her way. She tried to think of pleasant things. Her job only $15 a week but just $15 better than nothing There had been a rather dreadful time before rhc got the job. She was lucky that her fingers were clever enough to turn shapeless old hats into smart creations. Her new dress the picture in the paper was stun ning, it would be lovely for spring.

Inter est paid on loam on life insurance policies is deductible provided the "I'm here." "I heard you scream." Ann tried to laugh. It was a shaken little sound. "I had a bad dream," she confessed. "Oh, I say that's a shame. All right now?" "Yes all right now." She was cry ing, not because of the dream, but because of the rich sympathy in the young man's voice. It was as if his voice lifted her out of the way of the trampling feet. "Well good night." '"Good night and and thank you." 'Ann was restless and wide awake. Pulling down the blind, she switched on the light which dangled from the ceiling. She made a cup of cocoa and drank it slowly. Still in no mood for tieep, she sat down with the paper, turning to the personal column. Ann often read the intimate little items, they gave her contact with the hum ming world about her.
