Willamette valley berry growers
announced today they have launch-1

cultural commodity commission
under the terms of an enabling act
passed by the 1953 legislature.
Roland E. Schedeen, a Gresham
berry grower heading the produc
ers interested in formation of a
small fruits commission, asked E.
L. Peterson, director of the State
Department of Agriculture, for aid
in forming what would be the first
such commission organized under
the new law.
Peterson said procedure set up
by the act would require the grow
ers to first file a petition with his
department for a referendum elec
tion. The department would then
hold hearings in counties or con
gressional districts where five per

Life-Saving

In a Walla Walla hospital

for delivery of a baby boy.
Sheriff W. W. Hays, re
porting the dramatic race
against time and the ele

placed aboard a Walla Walla
bound West Coast Airlines
plane when doctors report
ed it was needed for Mrs.
Donald Pugnetti of Tasro,
Wash.
A snowstorm kept the
plane from landing at Walla
Walla, however, and It flew
on to Lewiston. After con
tacting the Washington State

at the airport here, and start

He was met about 13 miles
west of Lrwlstnn by State

took charge of the serum for
the second lap. Patrol Sgt.

Mrs. Pugnrttl was report

regular houses.
Until Jan. 1, residents of trailers
paid only a $10 vehicle license fee
for using the highways. They paid
no property taxes.
But since then, under an act of
the 1953 Legislature, they pay
property taxes.
The new tax applies to persons
who have trailers for' their resi
dences. The assessor bills them
Jan. 1 of each year.
The assessor collects the tax
money immediately. Trailer resi
dents don't get until November to '
pay up, like owners of permanent
homes do.
The assessors collect the tax on
the spot because they fear that
the trailers miRht be moved before
the tax is paid.
The new tax on trailers is fair.
Stewart said, "because trailer res
idents should pay taxes like any
body else.
"It hasn't been fair for school
districts to have to educate chil
dren who live in trailers on which
no school taxes are paid. And it
isn't right to provide police and
fire protection to the trailer resi
dents for nothing.

School Bus
Service Grows
School bus service in Oregon has
grown into a five million dollar a
year business, A. Harvey Wright,
state director of school transporta
tion, says.
The cost of operating school
buses now is five limes what it
was 10 yea's ago.
The big increase is caused by
many more school children, in
creased operating and equipment
costs, and the fact that many dis
tricts have consolidated and thus
increased the distance children
have to go lo school.
In 1'.I52, the slate's 729 transport
ing school districts hauled I2.1.R.V)
pupils at a cost of 4.S53.US.
That is double the cost in 19M.
The 1941 tolal was $1,078,351, and
it was only $(188,974 in 19,18.
The state pays about a third ot
the school transportation cost, with
the districts paying he rest.

75 on Foot
Car Victims
f Pedestrian-motor vehicle acci
dents claimed 75 lives in Oregon
last year, Secretary of State Earl
T. Newbry said today.
The figure means, he said, that
Oregon has posted a pedestrian
death reduction for two straight
years. Eighty-eight were killed
in 1951 and 81 in 1952.
Newbry said the year offered
a "freak" pedestrian accident ex
perience because more than half
the deaths occurred during the
first six months. Generally, the
latter months of the year are
considered the most dangerous
for pedestrians due to longer
hours of darkness.
