MEMBER OF OKEGON NEWSPAPER PUBLISHERS ASSN. WANTED:PUZZLE EXPERTS Monday has been declared “Water Night” at the city council meeting by Mayor Fred Salvage who has been saving up pieces to a puzzle entitled the “Water Problem.” Pieces to this particular Cave Junction version of a modern jig-saw puzzle are difficult to ( a pit al Parade By Murray Wada LEGISLATORS IN 1953 The legislative experience of the members of the 1953 Oregon Leg islature will be more extensive than that of any other session in the. state’s history. In the Senate, holdover mem bers and candidates whose chances of being elected range from good to heavy-favored odds, represent a combined past service of 218 years. This is an average of almost seven years experience for each member. Among the considered member hip, Sen. Dean Walker (Polk and Benton) has the longest record in the Senate with 20 years continu ous service.

Mayor Salvage and the five coun- cilmanic faces and a recorder, who with the NEWS reporter comprise a boresome eightsome at least twice monthly at the Legion hall at 8 p.m., don’t profess to know all the answers related to this much discussed finan cial burden annually operating at a deficit. Many parts to this puzzle have been AWOL during the reign of the present city administration, not to mention the fact that Recorder Hubbard says he has yet to see the records for a $20,000 water depart ment bond issue—the expiration date of which is unknown. Whether you use city water or just like to hear tales of woe when they are shouldered by others, you had better submit your reservations early to Recorder Hubbard who re ports a rapidly-booked house for the twenty-eighth. | In the House, experience ratings ' are lower as members are elected for two years—in the Senate for ' four years. The combined legisla tive experience of the potential members of the House is 224 years, an average of less than four years each. Rep. Harvey Wells (Multonmah) will have the honor of the longest membership in either branch of the legislature. He has served in 12 regular and three special sessidns in the House since 1921. SAY STATE FUNDS WASTED Accusations that state money is being wasted by the State Depart ment of Administration and Fi nance were made at this week's meeting of the State Board of Control. Secretary of State Earl T. New- bry and State Treasurer Walter J. Pearson, who brought the char ges, said they will demand that the Midget Auto Racing Editor, Illinois Valley News: Every citizen of the City of Cave Junction is-requested to be present at a meeting in the city council room on July 28,1952, at 8 p.m., when topics of interest to all of us will be discussed.
