MARRIAGE LICENSES This Is national crime prevention week and Dr. John Griffith will probably observe it by not tossing any old identification cards away. About four months ago, lie tossed away an old driver's li cense when he got a new one. Recently two checks forged n-ith his name showed up at a Salem bank. Other checks have passed In Portland and Eugene, Salem officers said. In each case, his old driver's license number was listed on the check for identifica tion. Fortunately, he's not stuck for the money, but It is a nuisance to have someone writing checks with your name on them. And, of course, there's nothing like doing, your part in preventing crime. The Dr. John Griffith mentioned is the young Dr. Griffith. He re turned home from the service re cently to join his uncle In (he molar removal, excavation and repair business at 562 South Liber ty St. C. B. Stephenson, president ot the First National Bank of Port land, told Salem chamber of com merce members Monday of the circus manager who was about to lose the fellow whose stunt was being shot out of a cannon. "You cant quit, ne said. "Where can I get another man of your caliber. Which Is about the same cate gory as the story of the weather forecaster who - was asked why he wanted to quit his job. 'The weather here doesn't agree with me," was the reply. Mark Hatfield's nomination of Dorothy McCullough Lee for the U.S. Supreme court has brought a variety ot comments, mosuy in favor of the idea but a few disapproving. Opposing were an anonymous letter writer who roundly berated the secretary of state for even suggesting such a thing and, a Portland attorney ta bachelor) who suggested oft the record that it wasn t such a hot idea. A wom an thinks like a woman and a man thinks like a man, was his argument, and we shouldn't have a woman on the highest court. Sort of "A woman's place is in the home type thinker apparent ly., Favoring the Idea was a 91 yearold Portland man who climbed on the bus, rode, to Sa lem to visit Hatfield and offered to do anything he could do "to help (hat wonderful woman" get her appointment. Mark hasn't had a reply from (he White House. yet on (he pro posal so doesn't know how much favor It has received In Washing ton, Ted Hansen suggests that the Red Cross could get. more blood at the monthly blood drawings if they would liven things up a little. The idea of giving blood is too grim to be attractive to people, he said. A donor of several pints of the red fluid himself, Ted has spent some time looking at that blank ceiling and wonders if it couldn't be used to some advantage like selling advertising space, for in stance. Pictures, cartoons or mov ies are other ideas brought to mind. And there's a piano silling there In the armory, Ted pointed out. Probably someone would he glad to come down and hang out a few ragtime tunes or a polka or two to entertain the donors. That would probably help In two ways. Not only would II en tertain but it might stir up the old pulse a bit and pump out the blood a bt taster. Might even run a few more donors through in (he same lime that way. One bit of advice, though. .Some one should warn that piano play er to stay away from "The Star Spangled Banner." Probably as sure a sign of spring as the first swallow and grandpa removing his red handles was seen Monday afternoon on D street a cruising convertible with the top down.
