sticker, is available for every Ore
gonian who drives a car.
Civic, service and community
clubs, as well as private individuals
are rallying themselves with the
cause to "keep them alive" through

countable for three out of five traffic
fatalities.
Business firms are distributing the
pledge to all employees.
Get your motorist's pledge from
offices of the Oregon State Motor
association, the Oregon Automobile
Dealers asosciation, A. A. A. stations,

Exhibit on Wheels Will
Show New Kitchen
Oregon homemakers interested in
building or remodelling for greater
comfort and convenience will have
an opportunity the next few months
to view a suggested set-up for a
farm family kitchen, carefully
planned as to heights of working
surfaces, storage spaces and other
important details.
Such a kitchen has been built on
a trailer at Oregon State college,
and is now touring the state, visit
ing fairs and other gatherings where
it may be inspected by the public.
Accompanying it is an exhibit of
home electrical equipment and ap
pliances, with a cost-meter which
will indicate which appliance is run
ning and exactly how much it is
costing an hour.
The demonstration kitchen was
planned to meet the needs of the
average farm family in Oregon,
keeping in mind the multiple pur
poses which this room is called up
on to serve, points out Mrs. Azalea
Sager, state leader of home econ
omics extension at O. S. C, who
planned the exhibit with the coop
eration of other members of the ex
tension and home economics research
staffs. Heights of working surfaces
are based on the results of a recent
survey of those preferred by some
500 homemakers in Oregon and
Washington.
A bulletin has been prepared for
distribution of those interested in
kitchen planning, covering use of

Has Active Week
Donald Mace, district educational
adviser, paid his first official visit
to Camp Heppner August 10. Mr.

cational program, especially during
the summer months.
Ping pong will soon be the main
topic of conversation at the camp,
inasmuch as there will be a tourna
ment opening in the near future.
The tournament will be conducted

If you want to know your law go
to Camp Heppner. This is the ad

and of course to the great delight
of the members. .
