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."

WASHINGTON COLUMN
IIIM)MIm
By Pek-r Edson
(NPA Service Corrciinonclent)
Des Moines, la. (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.

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. S. 34th infantry regi
ment. - - ,

Strike la Darkness
Under cover of darkness the
communists streamed .through a
20-raile river front north of Tae
jon which the thinly spread 19th
regiment had held against a
three-day assault by two red di
visions. . ':''
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. S.
staff officers awaited evacuation
orders. Some predicted the city's
fall before Monday night. Now
and then a jeep or truck would
race through the deserted streets.'
Inside shops and homes, Ko
rean civilians huddled awaiting'
their new rulers. ; :
The main red forces closed in.
By nightfall Wednesday the'
American defense ring was on
the city's outskirts. In the rice-'
