PATROLLING THE SPRINKLERS So far this Season it has been our impression that Bend water users had been following the sprinkling laws much more closely than ordinary but reports to the city commission indicate that there are still some who will comply with the regulations only under compulsion. To what extent this in volves ignoring of the hours set for use of hoses and to what extent the wasting of water, allowed to run into streets and alleys does not appear. Either or both, however; combined with the fact of a now manifest shortage, would warrant the decision to employ a special patrol to check on violations. First he will admonish ; on a second offense he will arrest. Such a program; conscientiously carried out,, will unques tionably get results as far as outdoor waste or illegal use of water is concerned. It will,; of course, have no' effect in stop ping waste indoors the waste from dripping faucets," from faucets allowed to run for . minutes through neglect or' to ; bring the temperature of drinking water to the minimum or to bring water from the hot tap to its maximum heat. It will not halt the,flow of leaky toilets. The authority of the patrol ; will not extend so far. And there is heavy waste of the kind 'we have just mentioned. : t ? v ; ; ; : ... That is why we refer again to meters as the only sure . means of control. The meter records all flow and on its re cordings the monthly water statements are computed. Water wasted is charged just as surely as water beneficially used. The meter is on the job 24 hours a day. It is a constant and ' potent argument for careful use and against careless or wan ton misuse. ' v ; Current developments suggest the inadvisability of a mil lion dollar investment, such as would be required in a major construction program to provide a greater water supply for the city. Conservation is. more than ever the answer and ; meters are the means of conservation.; They1 may be provided at far less cost than would be involved in the large capital additions that have been proposed to the present system. It is too late for a meter systenvtO' be adopted for the 1950 watering season but it is very much in order that plans be made to have it in use in 1951. It can prevent a recurrent shortage. ' - , 1 POLIO PRECAUTIONS . : There is no season of the year in which poliomyelitis or : infantile paralysis may not strike but there are certain ; months in -which the likelihood of an attack is much greater than in others. For reasons which are, as yet, only suspected, there is especial danger in the later months 'of summer and - the early months of autumn. So we are in the polio season : now, and it is proper now to reemphasize the need for certain . general precautions-r-precautions which should be part and ; parcel of our plan of living at all times but which become of special importance at a time that we recognize as presenting a i specif ic danger.,; v , ', V "''"''' : ' . The National foundation for infantile paralysis sums up . these precautions as follows:. . (! ,. ; 1. Keep children with their own friends and away from ' people they have not been with right along. 2. Don't become exhausted through hard work or play. 3. Don't stay too long in cold water or sit around in wet clothes. W 4. Always was.h hands before eating. . 5. Be ore the alert for feverishness, sore throat, headache, upset stomach or sore muscles. They may (or may not) mean . polio. '-i.. - ' ' 6. Call, your doctor. ; Wednesday's picture of the "tree bumper" developed by ! the bureau of reclamation when the Wickiup basin was being cleared of timber recalls the fact that a like device and pro- ( bably the first of its kind was developed for use in Deschutes county road work prior to 1927. The idea of this county bump , er was conceived by members of the county road crew that did the clearing job on the Santiam highway from Sisters to the Jefferson county line. The late Robert B. Gould, county engineer, participated in the undertaking and the bumper, attached to the county's caterpillar, was operated by Sherman Weisgerber. Incidentally, we cannot but remember the pro tests against the purchase, of the "cat" and the speedy way in which the action was justified in this clearing as well as many other of the jobs the county was then doing. Out on the Farm By n H. Ormnt July 21 --r The other evening the Young Man was engrossed In the radio serials, and there Just didn't seem to be a long enough break between the thrill ers or him to do his evening , "chores." He was reminded sev eral times that the chickens and rabbits needed water. Finally he started on his rounds reluctant ly, moving nt a snail's pace. Later In the evening, chores done, we were sitting In the swing In the back yard, enjoying Ihe . Jragrance of sweet clover, the sound of the rippling waterfall, and the songs of birds nesting in . the (rees. Earlier Irritations were forgotten, and an air of content ment prevailed. "I'm going to be a farmer wben I grow up," the Young Man ' announced. i "In that case, you'll have lots of chores to do, every morning and evening," he was reminded. "Oh, no," he said, "I'll have a little boy to do those. I'll Just build tractors."

(NEA)-There's a story going around Iowa about the republican farmer -who said he voted for Dewey In 1944, voted for Dewey in 1948, and thought he'd vote for him again in 1952, because things never were better and he wanted to keep them that way. . i There' are other stories, how ever with Veritable names and places about little groups of larmers getting together ana aa SSMfflffl Much-of Loveland's support in " ' -- " rnn ni-lmnrv ramt from nwfi'a In. IX they would ever vote for him again,.' .. . - . .. Two years later, you can still get an argument as to why Iowa went democratic In 1948. The common explanation has been that the farmers didn't like the republican 8dth congress policy on flexible price supports and grain storage, and so voted demo cratic. . But. farm experts like Harry Storey, legislative representative for Iowa Farm bureau, say that's a lot of bunk. He says what they didn't like was Dewey. They didn't like his mustache. Mus taches aren't won In grim-faced Iowa. ' Tha is why the major Iowa political effort between now and November will be to persuade people to get out and vote. The republicans have a new state chairman, young Howard Good win. He is an ex-farm boy and business man. One of his major assignments is to organize the state front precinct grass roots right up to corn tassel, to get out the vote. The' vote 'in Iowa's recent pri mary was disappointingly small. This in spite of the fact that the farm bureau had been conducting an all-out campaign, with school essay contests and other promo tions to persuade people to go to the polls. The campaign flopped. In that primary, however, re publican Senator Bourke B. Hick enlooper piled up more votes than all the other candidates put to gether. And that was taken as a good sign by the republicans. , . "Hick." as he Is called by every one in the state, made a remark able comeback. His stock was at low ebb last fall, because of his bumbling charRes and Invest iga- energy commission. But David E. Lllienthal's resig nation as AEC chairman earlier this year saved Hick's political life. He was able to point to lll ienthal's departure as haying cleared up the situation .he was complaining about. Also, Senator Hlckenlooper was against the Brannan plan. And the Brannan plan is the number one issue in the Iowa election. President Truman, .when he makes his "political" tours of the country later this summer and in the early fall, will unquestionably stump Iowa in support of the Brannan plan, and L-ovelanq. dustrial cities. There th C. I. O. Packing House and AUto Wdrkers unions were mobilized to support the Brannan plan as something to benefit the consumer by lower ing food prices. But the campaign wasn't too successful. The Brannan plan is a contra dictory political issue, anyway you look at it. Wallace's Farmer and Iowa Homestead, oracle of farm journals, recently conducted a poll on Brannan's proposals for farm law change. ' . Eight per cent of the answers approved the whole plan, with 23 per cent approving the plan in part or for a trial. Only 6 per cent opposed the Brannan plan In part, with 13 per cent wholly opposed. This adds up to only 50 per cent of the poll returns 31 per-cent for, 19 per cent opposed, . . ' The other 50 per cent was di vided: nine per cent undecided and 41 per cent reporting they hadn't heard enough about it to form an opinion. This In spite of the fact that' the Brannan plan has been argued about lor over a year and that Iowa farmers are as literate and as independent as any in the nation. .

A United Preaa war correspond- . nt report that th valiant American atand' at Taejon won valuable time for th buildlna- of th allied eounter-offenc ive to throw the communiata back acroa . the S8th parallel border Into North Ko rea. . By Rutherford Poats (United Free Staff Correspondent) Somewhere In Korea, July 21 HP) A game bunch of Yanks wrote "Taejon, Korea" Into Amer ican history this week. ' On the approaches to Taejon, and In the muddy streets of this city of clapboard shacks and jer rybullt houses, the U. S. 24th in fantry division fought Its heart out against overwhelming odds and claimed a deadly price in blood for each yard it yielded. When they finally lost burning Taejon to the red invaders of South Korea, the thinned ranks of the 24th had won the chief in gredient of eventual allied vic tory time. Three weeks ago these young Americans, left a carefree occupa tion life in Japan. Time Gained Then for two weeks they took a bloody pounding. They gained time for two fresh American di visions and a strong American air and naval forces to get into action. . They fell back to the Kum riv er line before Taejon and there, for six days, they fought off well armed communist forces at least five times stronger numerically. By all the books of military sci ence' they'd have been justified In pulling out without a fight for Taejon. They were in desperate need of rest, regrouping, and re inforcements. The red radio boasted that the Invaders would march into Tae jon for a time the temporary South Korean capital with bands playing and with "loyal Koreans" welcoming them in. . --"Welcome" Unexpected They were' welcomed, all right by a hail of bullets and mor tars. -' Yahk ' generals and colonels took up rifles, machine guns and bazookas and fought beside their tired doughboys. Maj. Gen. Wil liam Dean,- division commander, held his key headquarters staff in Taejon and personally led re connaissance sorties. He . even bagged a red tank. If courage were the only fac tor,. Taejon would still be ours. But there were other factors ammunition; c o m m u n ications, and thousands upon thousands of North Korean1 infantrymen who kept filling the holes the red-eyed Yanks knocked in their ranks. The battle of Taejon opened one week ago today,' when North Korean troops wearing peasant dress and captured American uni forms infiltrated across the west ern Jum river line Into- and be hind the U.

':'' The 19th was engulfed and fell' back but it had done its work well. It took the reds four days to patch up those two divisions. The Taejon attack was held up' until a completely new division believed to be the last the reds have in reserve-r-was brought up. In a flea-Infested two-story brick building in Taejon, U.
