CENTRAL PLAN FOR
“BULL BLO(’K” SET
BY STATE DAIRIES
Oeegon dairymen have taken
preliminary steps to establish a
statewide program of artificial in
semination in line with plan found
successful in other states and
which are rapidly being adopted
elsewhere, announces II a r o I <1
Ewalt, assistant extension ilairy-
man at Oregon State College.
Under such plans all bulls used
by members in any part of the
state would be kept at a central
location under the care of trained
veterinarians and. technicians who
would care for the animals and
dispatch the material to county
groups as called for. Only an
office with one technician and
necessary office help would then
be maintained by each of the
county groups. Ewalt explains.

HELP WITH FARM
TRANSPORTATION
BY AAA NEAR END
Servicing of county farm trans
portation committees by AAA
committees will be discontinued
June 30, reports R. B. Taylor,
chairman of the state AAA com
mittee. Funds allotted to AAA ti
handle the farm transportation
program will be expended at the
close of the fiscal year, and addi
tional funds to continue the pro
gram were not provided by the
federal bureau of the budget.
After June 30 applications for
farm trucks and for farm gaso
line will not be filed at county
AAA offices. Farmers will apply
directly to local or state ODT and
OPA offices after that date. AAA
committee authorizations for con
version of tractors and other farm
implements from steel to rubber
also will be terminated.
AAA was assigned responsibil
ity of farm transportation pro
grams shortly after gasoline ra
tioning was instituted in 1942. Be
tween 40,000 and 50,000 farm
gasoline applications and appeal
anil about 1,000 new farm truck
applications annually have been
filed with county AAA offices. Al
though decisions were made and
policies set by county farm trans
portation committees, the detail
work of preparing forms and pro
cessing applications was handled
by county office staffs. Addition
al personnel was employed in most
counties to handle this work, Tay
lor pointed out, hence the with
drawal of funds makes it impos
sible to continue.
The state AAA chairman ex
pressed appreciation for the work
of the farmers who served on the
county farm transportation com
mittees without compensation. The
committees were headed by one
member of the county AAA com
mittee assigned to the transporta
tion programs.
and no NEW one to replace it
Since Pearl Harbor, thousands of cars have been placed on the
scrap pile every year — hundreds every day! There is a shortage
of cars. Returning Veterans and essential users will rightly get
first priority on new cars.
REMEMBER THIS
When you hear optimistic reports about new cars this year!
PLAY SAFE

motor tuned up . . . wheels aligned and balanced . . .
All those things done that you have been putting off.
THEN YOU WILL KNOW
That your car will last until you CAN get a NEW ONE .
IT MAY BE A LONG TIME!

ONE LIGHT CARS
CAUSE ACCIDENTS

Accidents reported as a result
I
of drivers and pedestrians becom
ing confused by cars with but one
headlight functioning at night to
day were cited by Secretary of
State Robert S. Farrell as evidence
of the need for greater attention
to headlights as a safety factor on
thf highways and streets at night.
Farrell said that in one case, a
pedestrian was struck when the
person on foot mistook the single
light of an approaching car for the
outside light when it was the in
side light that was functioning.
In other cases, approaching driv
ers havc> been confused and failed
to give adequate clearance for ap
proaching cars, proceeding with
I ut one headlight functioning.
“One headlight cars are a def-
'■ inite accident hazard on our
-treet and highways at night and
drivers should make every effort
to avoid causing these hazards,"
Farrell said.
The secretary of state urged all
drivers to check their lights regu
larly. to make sure both lights are
functioning and that they are
properly adjusted.
"Improperly
adjusted
head
lights also constitute a serious ac
cident hazard, because they may
blind the approaching driver or
pedestrian,” he said.
