A ttra c tiv e Flower G uard Prepares
D isplays Shown For Encampment
If Springfield Is a "hick town" some
body has got to prove IL This Is the
attitude of the city council at Mon-
day evening's meeting when It In
structed the city attorney to proceed
against any radio station broadcast­
ing "false and slanderous remarks"
about the city In regard to maintaining
a “speed trap” here.
It had been reported to the council
that a Portland station broadcasted a
message to "Avoid the hick town of
Springfield when passing over the Me-
Kenxle highway aa a speed trap is
maintained there."
The Ire of the mayor was aroused
by this report and he stated that
Springfield might Just aa well be the
one to find out whether or not a radio
station Is responsible for what It broad­
casts. A demand to rebroadcast cor­
recting the report about Springfield
will be made on the station If It I*
found to be true that It has sent out
the message attributed Io I t
Coundlmen expressed ine opinion
that broadcasting stations were as re­
sponsible as Individuals In what (hey
send out over the radio, and could be
gullly In the same degree for libel
Examination of the traffic fines here
reveal that no molorlat has been fined
who was not going more than SO miles
an hour or breaking the state law as
well as the city ordinances. No tour­
ists with an automobile bearing a lic­
ense of another state has been fined
The most offenders other that local
people are Eugene and Portland cltl-
xens.
