More liberal treatment of the state's elderly citizens was advo cated by Carson, who proposed a sytem of public loans for estab lishment of nursing and rest homes where they can be cared for in their own communities. Carson says he proposes the state pay for the care of those people If they are unable to do so them selves.

An gel, then known as Filmore, to visit her brother Father William Kramer at the Mt. Angel Abbey. Her notes stale "what a unique trip it turned out to he is almost incomprehensible to those who had never gone over such pioneer roads: stumps, mud hnlrs, silting in a wagnn, while one wheel would be half-way in the water and the other up, nearly upsetting the wagon and us with it; we surely held on to the seat on top of the wagon box , . ." "We did have a glimpse through the trees of a frame building; hut what a difference from the monastic structures of stone in Europe ... "On this Mount wera seen little mounds in which were found skeletons of Indians long buried there."

Albany, arrested last week by a state police officer, has been fined a total of $193 in district court for drunken driving and for possessing a concealed weap on, to which he pleaded guilty. rangement a chance for bickerings was probable and declared that the new schemes "are so beclouded with political and economic un certainties as to leave our people confused and apprehensive." 1 "Cheap power is the key to our industrial development in Oregon," Carson said. "It is the foundation of all modern industry. If we give that key away or lose it, we shall become economic prisoners of those who nave it. Public business, Carson said, will be conducted in public if he is elected governor. He cited the ac tion of the state milk marketing commission in attempting to raise the price of milk without public notice. He commended Governor Paul L. Patterson for stopping that practice.
