SNOW AT ELECTION TIME Rarely does snow come at election time in central Oregon but reference to old records confirms our recollection that 32 years ago snow did fall at that time to the depth of four inches. It was a chilly day but a very hot election, There was the Hughes-Wilson presidential contest, close enough to seize and hold the interest of any group of voters and, perhaps of even greater importance in turning out the local vote, there was the county division issue. What is now Deschutes county was seeking separation from the parent county of Crook. So there were definite cuuses to set aside the theory of "The heavier the snow, the lighter the vote", jiict as today, with the heated local political issues of recall and charter amendments; there is reason to believe that the little snow re maining on the ground from yesterday may not have too great an influence in keeping men and women of the city precincts from attending the polls. , ' The storm of. 32 years ago did have its effect, however, In slowing up communications. Every delayed report was anxiously awaited for its bearing on the outcome of the presi dential race in which first one major candidate and then the other took the lead. And just as anxiously awaited were the returns from the precincts of Crook county until finally the decision on county division hung on the results in remote Fife precinct. Of course it came out all right in the end and Des chutes took its place among the counties of Oregon. But that is another story. Election returns were slower in those days, partly because double boards were not then being used, partly because road improvement was yet to come and partly, at the time of that particular election, because of a snow storm. In 1948 the difficulties first mentioned have been largely eliminated and, as for the snow, it can cause little appreciable delay. Close precinct coverage, better transportation and com munications will effectively discount what little handicap this might present. f-'' THE DRIVER HAS HIS RIGHTS, TOO .. . Recently we commented on impressions of Bend's traf , fic situation conveyed to us in a note from Charles V. Stanton. editor of the Roseburg News-Review and now we have before us an elaboration of the same ideas as presented in the editor ial column of that publication. Again he emphasizes the courtesy extended by automobile drivers and the considera tion which they typically show (in Bend) to pedestrians. But, writes Stanton, the pedestrians are not always so considerate. To Quote : Bend, we believe, Is to be commended for the courtesy of Its motorists toward pedestrians. We cannot say as much for pedestrian courtesy toward motorists, for wo found In Bond the same condition that prevails here In Roseburg pedes trians loafing in crosswalks, stepping into pedestrian lanes without regard for traffic conditions often holding up a String of cars when u momentary wall wofild allow cars to . clear the crosswalk, and even stopping In pedestrian lanes for conversation. Courtesy in Bend, Roseburg or elsewhere , should not bo one-sided. We thoroughly agree, The careless or inconsiderate pedes trian can be as great a menace-to safely (his own and that of others) as the harebrained driver. What many seem to over look if indeed they were ever aware of it is that the motor ist, too, has his rights; defined by law, in the use of that part of the pavement outlined for pedestrians. A little brushing up 'as to the extent of these rights could be of considerable help to all concerned.

Herald Tribune) In an editorial in the current zoning bulletin of the Regional Plan association, Mr. Albert S. Bard, an authority on billboard law and regulations, makes sug gestions which we believe should prove of value to towns in that metropolitan area which the R. P. A. serves. Instancing the prohibitions by which Darien and Westport, Conn., have banished billboards from all districts, and the zoning regulations by which Madison, N. J., and Oyster Bay, L. I., have restricted such signs in business and industrial areas, Mr. Bard savs that municlDallties are be coming increasingly conscious of the cheapening effect of billboards upon retail and business districts. He suggests that a town is legally justified in adopting a policy which would benefit legitimate and useful signs upon business premises, but would restrict the Intrusion of Urelevant signs i which often become traffic dan-1 gers and a source ox muiuF: ugliness. The solution, says Mr. ,,"..,1 io cimniu that of favoring one class of signs at the expense of anotner, anu '6j" -municipality to make such distinc tions has been recognized by the courts.
