. TO END CANAL yATER POLLUTION
Since house bill no.224 carried the emergency clause it
became law on its signing by Governor Snell on Thursday. It
may be helpful, accordingly, if attention is called to its terms
at once so that persons affected by its new and stringent regu
lations may take any action needed to avoid the imposition of
the penalties it provides.
The purpose of the new law is to protect irrigation canal
and ditch water from pollution from conditions existing
below the point of diversion from the Deschutes river or its
tributaries. It is of particular importance to residents of the
irrigated districts of Central Oregon and to the city of Red
mond. The maintenance of conditions along "canals that may
cause pollution of their waters is prohibited by the law. Con
ditions specifically named as possible polluters are slaughter
pens, stock feeding yards, hogpens, corrals and turkey yards.
Any person who maintains or creates such conditions may
have nuisance charges brought against him. The penalty on
conviction is a fine of not less than $50 nor more than 500.
Beginning with irrigation district employes enforcement
of the law is mandatory with the various steps in the prosecu
tion specifically set out. Thus it is made the duty of such
employes to report to the district the existence of any of 'the
forbidden conditions that come to their attention. The secre
tary of the district must next report in writing to the county
health officer. To the health officer is given the duty of in
vestigating the conditions complained of and to report his
findings to the district directors. If he finds that the condi
tions exist it becomes the duty of the directors to institute a
suit in abatement. The health officer shall also report to the
district attorney, if he finds that the law is being violated, and
it then becomes the duty of the latter officer to file a com
plaint and to cause the arrest and prosecution of the offender.
Wo are told that offensive conditions, such as are com
plained of in the law, exist on some of the irrigation canals.
We imagine that their elimination will call for minor changes
in farm operation or the lay-out in some particular spots. We
imagine, further, that a reasonable time will be given for
correction. When that time has passed we believe that there
will be action and that is as it should be.
Because it contains the largest area and has more miles
of canal than any other district it is the Central Oregon that
has the greatest potential of nuisance conditions. It is there
fore well to note that it has been Central Oregon district
officials who secured the enactment of this law. They, in other
words, have made this medicine for their own district as well
as the others. .
And it is interesting to note that the only important
change made in the body of the bill as first introduced was
the un-splitting of a couple of infinitives.
VANDALISM ' '
Bend is not alone in Oregon as it suffers from an outbreak
of vandalism. The Coos Bay Times complains of the vicious
destruction of property in its city and there have been car
thefts and robbery, as well. The editorial from the Times
from which we gather the facts is reprinted on this page
today.
In Bend, as in Coos Bay, waste paper bundled for ship
ment was scattered around the collection depot by a group of
boys but the act, it turned out. was thomrhtlostu r.iHmv. tv, p
evil intent. And here the boys responsible joined in repairing
the damage they had caused.
Bend is suffering, however, from the breaking of windows,
the smashing of light globes in public places and from bicycle
thefts. 1 here are almost nightly disturbances in Drake park
, ; """"V "llB many parts of the city.
Much of the disturbance and the damage could be prevented
by alert police. We hope that here, as at Coos Bay, the guilty
ones, it their otienses continue, will be detected and properly

STOP VANDALISM
Repealed news accounts gath
ered by The Times and complaints
to this newspaper about vicious
destruction of properly in the
community are too numerous to
restrain our comment on a most '
distressing situation on Coos Bay.!
Not long ago vandals, presumably;
youthful, entered the storage!
warehouse where wastepapcr was!
bundled and awaiting .shipment,!
cut the wraps, tossed the paper I
indiscriminately around and1
wreaked havoc to many davs ofi
voluntary, worthy work in the!
war effort. Citizens on main
streets downtown have com
plained repeatedly of destruction
wrought by a series of nightly1
escapades aimed at the destrue !
lion of property. Car theft reports'
have been numerous; within the
last fortnight a substantial sum
of money was taken from a down-,
town businessman.
Such events cannot be shrugged
off as symbols of a war hysteria
reaching to the home front and
thereby casually explained or
passed over. The fact that mil
lions of American men are fight-j
nig lascism anro.Ki gives no ex
cuse to youths or adults to piac
tice terrorism at home. Nor can
the situation be condoned or for
gotten if the offenders happen to
be in uniform; youths under arms
are equally responsible tor ei
vilian rights as men outside the!
uniform. !
City and slate police are duly-'
bound to deal lirmly with such
offenders; to delect Ihein and In
bring them In such punishment
as the law metes nut. In such a
course law enforcement officers
will have the full support of the
public. Every worthwhile cilizen

Donors of Blood
Make Long Trip
Prineville, Karen 19 (Special)
Mrs. Irvln Grimes of the Ochoco
Project took with her in her car
Wednesday five other women to
the blood donors' center in Port
la ml. The women were Mrs. Hes
ter Clark, Mrs. Willard Adkisson.
Mrs. B. F. Palmer, Mrs. Harry
McCoy, and Mrs. Everett Cornet t.
After the tests were made it
was found that only two could be
accepted. The tests showed Mrs.
McCoy to have type O, the, whole
blood that is flown directly to the
hospitals and battle fields.
Mrs. McCoy has two sons In
the service, and she was much
pleased to be told that her dona
lion would be somewhere over
there ready for use by Friday
I night. The ladies rested over
'night In Portland and returned
(to Prineville Thursday.
I came up on deck. I looked
out across the harbor at pier 14
a mere 400 yards away. And I
felt very, very good.
Then behind me someone
coughed. I turned. There stood
Booker. In the shelter of the
windscreen, he lit a cigaret. On
his lips was a wintry smile. That
little feeling of self-congratulation
which one experiences on
coming safely through a hazard
ous affair evaporated.
"Well, Trent," Booker leaned
his arms on the rail beside me,
"we made it."
My presence on the boat was
explained by an encounter with
a buzz-bomb which had figura
tively blown me out of the pilot's
seat of a B-17 to a position of
temporary retirement before go
ing- back to my old job of air
craft designing. Booker's presence
on the boat remained unexplained.
Booker went on:
"Back to Boston' and the little
girl on Beacon Hill, eh?"
'Eh," l said. i
'Then to your desk at the Bea
con Aircraft." Booker's thin lips
curved in a derisive smile.
I looked at him. I hadn't re
membered being so confidential..
Booker stared down into the
water where the October winds
made plumes of foam. He dropped
his cigaret into the harbor.
His eyes rested speculatively
upon me.
'The Hiuisons are very tniiu-
ential people," he said. "The lit
tle girl on
"Miss Hudson, I said.
He smiled. - -
"She would take a lot of sup
porting."
"Would sner"
"This war is not going to last
forever, Trent. When it Is over,
there will be an oversupply of
airplane designers. You might
like to lortily yourseit against
that eventuality."
"Life insurance?" I asked.
"No." He did not smile. "You
would not be a good risk."
It wasn t so much what ne
said; it was the way he said it.
"That sounds like a threat.
"Good heavens, no." He laughpd
and I observed that his teSth
needed attention. "I am merely
giving you an opportunity to cash
in on a risk which you must in
evitably take. You are not re
sponsible for the accidents of
birth and environment. But you
can take advantage of them in
stead of suffering 'because of
them." ' I
"I haven't the faintest notion
of what you're talking about," I
said, "and I am not in the least
interested."
Ho took out a cigaret and
tapped it on his thumbnail. All
the warmth had gone out of his
face.
"Listen, Trent," he said. "I'll be
at The Vendome in Boston until
Tuesday. Think it over and get in
touch with me."- -.
"If I'm half as sleepy as I
feel," I said, "I won't wake up
until Wednesday morning."
Pat Hudson, was the loveliest
girl I knew. She stood on the
platform beside Charley Strand
and together they are two of the
very few people in the world who
really care what happens to me.
Charley is single, sane, and
blessed with a very rare sense of
immediacy. Now he sensed some
thing sentimentally unique in the
situation and he was effacing him
self bravely by looking with false
interest at everything but Pat and
me.
"Hello, Nick," Pat said. "No ror-
l.pedoes?"
"One, I said and held my hands
I
apart. "That far away."
She shuddered and touched my
arm very gently.
"What a blow that would have
been to my aspirations." .
I happened to glance across the
platform and Booker went by.
Unsmiling, he looked at me.
"How odd," said Pat.
"Remember me?" Charley
asked. ,
"Remotely." I took his hand
and spoke to Pat. "What's odd?"
"That man. Who is he?"
I looked after Boojter.
"Nobody," I said. "Why?"
"He looked at you so strangely."
"He wasn't looking at me." I
took her arm. "Come along while
I park this baggage."
We went to the University Club
where, I dropped my bags and
Charley had Raoul send up a bot
tle of Hermitage which signaled
a moment to be remembered.
Gravely we clinked glasses.
"Prosit," said Pat.
"You can't do that," Charley
informed her. "That's a German
toast." ' '
"Charley." Pat looked at him:
"You're not going to start that."
"Eric's got her into that," he
said.
"Eric?" My glass stopped in
the air.
Charley and I exchanged glanc
es. We had never had much dif
ficulty in coming to an agree
ment about Eric.
"Hasn't Eric been drafted yet?"
I asked.
"You know he's too old," Pat
said.
"I had forgotten," I said. "It
always seemed to me that anyone
who does so much talking ought
to supplement it with a little
fighting."
"It has been hard for Eric
being of German descent." Pat's
tone was defensive. "After all, he
is a naturalized American."
"If he hadn't been naturalized,"
Charley said, "he would ave end
ed up as a corporal in the Ger
man army."
"And Eric would not have liked
that," I said.
"Please," Pat interrupted us.
"Let's not talk about it any more.
I'm sorry I brought up the sub
ject of Eric.'

"Listen," Charley said. "I've got
tickets for the Harvard -Navy
game. How about you two meet
ing me there?"
Somehow the struggles of twenty-two
V-12 boys on a football
field seemed curiously remote. I
shook my head. . '
"Not tday, Charley."
"You're tired," said Pat.
"A little. I haven't really slept
for ten days."
"Take me to lunch. Food will do
you good and after that you can
sleep."
And Charley threw up his
hands.
"You'll be sorry." He grinned.
"Meet me at the Parker House at
5:30 and I'll tell you the score."
Little did we suspect what that
innocently-made date was to get
us all into. . . ,
