They've nothing to worry aboutT though. Fats says. He's got plenty of insurance to cover any damage. Actually, authorities are not too much worried about Salem kids getting involved in any such antics. They figure kids here arc a little more level-headed than in some of the California communities where riot stories came from. Besides it will be concert-type production, not a dance. Some top-notch rock 'n roll artists arc with the show in cluding such well-known do teen agers) musicians as Bill Doggctt, Clyde McPhatter, LaVern Baker, Eddie Cooly and Paul Williams and his orchestra.

Saturday Bank Closing Sought In Brady's Bill Senator Phil Brady (D), Port land, has announced he will in troduce a measure in the Oregon legislature this afternoon which would require the closing of all Oregon banks on Saturday. Senator Brady said he is intro ducing the bill on behalf of bank employes who have formed an or ganization to pusn Saturday clos ing. John McNerney, U. S. Nation al Bank of Portland, is chairman of the group. McNerney declared a great ma jority of banks favoring Saturday closing are willing to extend the business hours on Friday evenings as late as 8 p.m., should their communities desire such service. He said 50 banks in Oregon have ing it impossible for any bank in Oregon to consummate any loan requiring the recording of any doc uments. He also said thai all fed eral reserve banks and branches throughout the U.S., wilh the ex ception of the Portland branch, close on Saturday. The 1955 legislature passed a bill for permissive closing of banks on Saturday but virtually no banks in the state have taken advantage of it. Bus Line (Conlinurrt Icom P.ue 1) and rates, but it would permit re vocation of the franchise by the dilies for poor service or excessive revenues on the operation. The letter is addressed to the joint committee of the. two ctiics, and the commiltec, headed by Mayor Robert F. White of Salem, will consider it at a meeting Thurs day in Eugene. By terms of the proposed fran chise the city could require the company to show cause why the franchise should not be revoked "for failing from an overall and community-wide standpoint to ade quately meet the requirements of public convenience and necessity, commensurate with earning a fair return on the investment in the business." If the company (ailed to show cause the cities could then start action in court. While the franchise would bo flexible it would contain restric tions against discriminatory lares in any part of the city or for any class of riders. The company would have to meet reasonable demands from the people of any section of the city as to service, even though the service mfght not be profit able, provided it did not interfere wilh service elsewhere In the city. The company would be required to furnish "courteous, safe, neat and clean drivers." It would also have to keep the public informed as to routes and schedules.

See your for a demonstration drkct John Anderson who said that h had a crew of men spending most of their time cutting brush. For a number of years spraying was the principal control method. However, there was considerable objection on the part of the travel ing public to the unsightly condi tion of the roadsides once the sprayed brush started to die. ' "We had to go in and swamp out the dead brush eventually,".; .re ported the engineer. "So we 'de cided it was just as economical to cut the stuff at the outset." Roadside brush has a tendency to clog up the ditches, which in turn, during heavy rains, causci water to overflow nearby stream! as well as the roadbed. . During the season the program will be to cut the heavy brush with motor-driven circular sawi and then give the small stuff a shot of spray.
