Where the Dawn Comes Up Like Thunder
LICENSE NUMBERS AND OWNERS
It has been noted in this column before now that various
agencies and bureaus of the federal government do not take
either the paper shortage or the need tor paper conservation
at all seriously. For outstanding examples of waste, go to
Washington.
The state of Oregon is more careful. If this were possible
we would say that, in one respect at least, it is too careful. YVe
are referring to the cessation or publication or tne state list
of cars, owners and licenses. It has not been put out since
1942 and, we understand, is not likely to be put out until-war's
end.
It would be incorrect to say that this suspension of pub
lication is wholly on account of paper shortage. Partly it
stems from the fact that license numbers have been un
changed since that time. But, while numbers have not
, changed, owners have changed and with unusual rapidity.
Except for a negligible number of riew machines, civilian ao
cmisition has been strictly limited to used units, the market
for these has been unusually strong and sales have been cor
respondingly stimulated.
But to get back to the license list. It was formerly the case
that every police station, or other recognized ollice ot a law
enforcement department could obtain a copy. It was a sizeable
volume, represented a great deal ot worn and saved a great
deal ot work. Not merely on tralnc charges running lrom
overparking to hit and run cases is it important to have quick
means of tracing the ownership of a venicle. In a large per
' centage of instances an automobile is linked up with crimes
of willful violence and with hold-ups, robberies and the like.
It is well to have this means of tracing ownership at hand.
But it is not available and, apparently, will not be for
some time. The information, it is true, is on tap at state
police headquarters, but it is only in connection with the more
serious matters that a local otlicer would feel warranted in
wiring, telephoning, or using short wave radio to obtain it.
And so, because tnere are many minor matters which do
depend on the record of ownership, there must be many letters
written, eventually, we suppose, enough of them to make up
for the paper which would ha.ve been used in getting out an
other issue of the license and ownership record book. Besides,
there is the delay of from two to three days as compared to
the immediate information could the officer turn the pages of
his book and find the answer.
It will be pleasing to police departments, we are sure when
. that book is again available.

FOR SAFETY'S SAKE
The chance that such another tragedy as occurred a few
days ago in the woods near Bly when a woman and five chil
dren were killed is probably negligible. But the fact that there
is any chance at all makes it highly, important that unusual closet, the halls everywhere he

To ordinary safety rules, it is plain, there should be an ad

who frequent the out-of-doors. Anything of unfamiliar, un
expfained nature should be left strictly alone. It should, more
over, be reported at once to the authorities. The reason hardly
needs elaboration.
