WEDNESDAY, FEBRUARY 2, 1949 PAGE SIX THE BEND BULLETIN, BEND, OREGON Good Weather Law Proposed In Washington Olympia, Wash., Feb. 2 mi Two stato legislators proposed a law today which would make It il legal for Washington to have any thing but good weather. The law would establish a state commission "to create sunshine, dispel clouds, and prohibit snow, lee or slides upon highways and railroad tracks." Bill Offered The bill was proposed by Reps. Michael Gallagher, l., and K. Mort Frayn, K., both of King county, following a snowstorm last week end that kept legisla tors confined to the capital. They declared: "Whereas, the weather, in a non partisan manner, lias in the past vitally affected the health, well-being and prosperity of the people of Washington, it is now declared public policy of this state to create such agencies as may be effective in supervising, control ling and changing the weather." Commission I'lumied The weather control commis sion would be made up of the gov ernor and six elected commission ers. They would meet at the slate capital "as often as the weather demands and permits." It would be the duty of the commission: 1 To provide continuous sun shine on week-ends, "which are declared to begin at noon each J nday and to end at 7 p.m. on the following Thursday, from May 1 to Sept. 30." 2 To regulate temperatures In such manner as to avoid undue rain, violent snowstorms, freezing temperatures and any conditions of climate which might cause de posits of rocks, snow or water more than two inches deep on any highway or railroad track. 3 To provide weather forecasts so that flood levels will never be reached by any river or stream. The measure provides that "any person, including corporations and partnerships, whether form ed for profit or not, who interfere with, disturb or criticize the work of the commission, would be guil ty 'of a gross misdemeanor and punished by a resounding con demnation of the situation."

Youths Injured In Car-Accident Charleton Flats, Calif., Feb. 2 IPi Three teen-aged youths told Monday how their car tumbled 200 feet down u sheer, snow-covered cliff after sliding out of con trol on the icy Angels Crest high way. California highway patrolmen using floodlights, ropes and stretchers took three hours to bring the three victims up the slippery bluff last night. The boys were rushed to a Glen dale hospital for emergency treatment, where their conditions were described as "serious." One of the youths, Morris Ro senbaum, 18, was conscious when rescuers reached the wrecked au tomobile. "The car started going almost straight down. I counted it turn over five times how many more turns it made, I don't know," he said. Me said Edward Filack, 19, the driver, suddenly lost control of the car as it descended the high way, about a half mile south of here. "Loess" is earth deposited by glacial action and wind.

INC., NEW YORK 6?', GRAIN NEIIIRAl SPIRITS 16 PROOF Use Bulletin Want Ads for Best Results! Kaffir Leaders of unions representing rail road engineers and lirenicn seek to force railroads to add extra, needless men on diesel locomotives. This is sheer waste a "make-work" program which would mean fewer improvements and higher costs for YOU! Railroads use modern diesel locomotives because they are one of the means of giv ing faster, better service to you. Two men compose the crew of n die.sel. They occupy n clean, comfortable cab tit the front. The engineer handles the throttle. The fireman sits and watches the track ahead. With no coal to shovel, he has practically nothing else to do. No Benefit To You Now the leaders of the Brotherhood of Locomotive Knginoors and the Brother hood of Locomotive Firemen and Engine men want to use the diesel locomotive as a means of forcing a feather-bedding scheme on the railroads. The extra men they pro pose to add to the diesel crews are not needed. There is no work for them. The union leaders are fighting ahong themselves about which union should fur nish these extra, needless men. The Brotherhood of Locomotive Engineers have even threatened a strike. You may not be interested in this dispute of these two anions, but you would be vitally con cerned if these groups succeed in putting through this featherbedding scheme, lie cause it woidd mean a slowing up of the improvement program of the railroads of which the diesel is the outstanding symbol. elniS IS D QI6SCI too. leaders of two unions think its Diesel crews are among the highest paid railroad employes real aristocrats of labor! Their pay is high by any standard. Granting of these demands, therefore, would mean that the railroads would be paying out millions in unearned wages to those in the very highest pay brackets. We'd Like To Spend This Money On You You know how much the diesel has meant to you in increased speed, comfort and convenience. The railroads have many more of them on order for even greater improvement in service to you. But need less drains of money, such as this present demand of the unions for needless men on diesels, reduce the ability of the railroads to spend money on better service for you. Proud as the railroads are of the diesel, it is only a small part of their improve ment program. Since the War, literally billions of dollars have been spent on im provement of tracks and stations, on new passenger and freight cars, as well as on diesel locomotives, and on the many other less conspicuous details of railroading that contribute to improved service. Feather-Bedding Means Less Service To You But brazen feather-bedding schemes like the one now proposed would, if successful, divert large sums of money from our pres ent improvement programs. Even worse, they make improvements like the diesel worthless, by making the cost of their operation prohibitive. These demands are against your inter estsas well as those of the railroads. 1 hey are schemes to "make work". Nei ther you nor the railroads should be forced to pay such a penalty for progress. That's why the railroads are resisting these "make work" demands to the last ditch and why they are telling you about them. . rrz.-j'SLt Jk " ... .. ' ' ""'nft ..t STREET . CHICAGO S.
