Wo Fry er Today in Salem Salem Kiwanians were happy Tuesday to have Ole Robert! back with them with hts head. Ole missed last Tuesday's meet Ing to make a trip to the coast. Lnroute, ha. passed a lumber truck from which a board blew loose and onto Olc's car. He ducked in time to avoid having the board take his head with it, reports indicated, although the car was banged up quite a bit. One reason Kiwanians are so h&ppy to see him back, they say, is because it's so hard to get a good program committee chair man like Ole. The Stayton Mall has rcchrls tenc(' the freeway to our north as the "R. H. Baldock Signway." Editor Lawrence Spraker notes the blossoming, of billboards every 1000 feet (the minimum distance allowed between them on the freeway). Just goes to show you, Editor Spraker, that you can kid all you want about the "third house" at the state legislature hut th lobbyists still throw plenty of weight. And just think, Mr, Spraker, plans have been announced for a bnrdcr-to-bnrdcr freeway on which we won't be overcome with "Highway hypnosis" from watching all those boring trees and mountains. Every thousand feet, a colorful advertising mes sage will smack us right in the face to keep us awake. One might take some consola tion, however, in noting that on the Willow Run expressway near Detroit, advertisers arc even get ting around the law requiring that signboards be several hundred feet from a limited access road. A Detroit sin company is erect ing a giant sinn eight times taller and two to throe times wider than the average highway billboard. The sign,, suspended from cables, will allow the 60-mile-an-hour mo torist a full minute to enjoy I?) the message, the designers claim. There'll be one former All-Amor ican basketball player with the Harlem Globetrotters when the Negro basketball quint plays at the South Salem gymnasium Tues day night but he's not on the team.

President fftfi Bus Franchise (Continued from Page 1) Thursday night for adoption of some definite plan of bus operation. City Ownership Alternative The only altcrnalivo to the plan approved Wednesday morning by the Salem council would be muni cipal ownership, it was said. This would require a vote of the peo ple and no one in the council, be lieved the pcoplo would approve it. inc iranonisc. as planned, w ill be flexible. It will require registra tion with the city so the city can inspect buses, establish driver qualifications, and require an an nual accounting to soo that the franchise holder was receiving no more than a fair return on invest ment. The central agency would reguiaie lares and routes. There Is a pnssibi ilv that Salem will be without bus service of any mnu ior a ume Deiwecn March 1 and the time when new operators lane over. City Transit Lines cave the city an ultimatum that, be cause ot tinancial stress, it would quit operation March 1 unless the city accepted the lease clan. Ef. ions win be made to expedite negotiations so this can be avoid ed. Suggestions made at the meeting were that the Yellow Cab Com pany, which runs taxlcabs here. might he interested in the fran chise; although that company has not been contacted.

Council members and City Mana ger Malhewson were emnhatlc that Salem is under obligations to furn ish bus service for the benefit of persons who have no other means of transportation. Numerous let ters have reached the manager and the council from persons insisting on tne necessity or service. There Is no probability that the new operators will take over the , vehicles ot the present system, A smaller type of vehicle is prob. able.

Wilkcrson, Tillamook, and Verne Finncrstet, Pendleton, Recent Freeze 1 Harm to Roads Still Unknown Week, 10 Da"ys Needed To Find Extent of Damage to System Marion county roads may hava suffered considerable damagi from the recent freeze, although this cannot be determined before a week or 10 days have elapsed, This was tine opinion voiced dur ing Wednesday's session of -the commissioners by members of the engineering department. Frank Woclkc, county road fore man, reported that the surface of some of the oiled roads is breaking up in spots which will result in chuck holes being gouged out by passing vehicles.; "We can take care of the gravel roads without too much trouble, but the condi tion of some of the oiled roadi worry me," said Woelke. The crumbling surfaces mean that more attention should be giv en to a rescaling program, com mented Engineer John Anderson. If left too long without a fresh scaling coat being applied, tho sur face becomes dry, breaks up and is sqattcred by vehicles, light as well as heavy, Anderson said the recent order fixing a 10,000 pound load limit . had virtually closed the county road system to heavy hauling. An derson said that repairs should not be undertaken until the roads havt , had a chance to settle. Weather Today By THE ASSOCIATED PRESS 24 hours to 4:30 a. in, Wednesday Max. Mln. Prco.
