Play-Writing Contest
Arranged for Clubbers
Four-H members throughout the
state have again been invited to par
ticipate in the seventh annual ra
dio play-writing contest sponsored
jointly by the state station KOAC
and the club department 6f the O. S.
C. extension service. , Oregon has
been one of the leading states in
radio play-writing, says H. C. Sey
mour, state club leader.
A manual containing the rules and
suggestions ' for the contest, and a
copy of the winning play last year
have been prepared for free distri
bution by James H. Morris, mem
ber of the KOAC staff, in charge of
this activity.
John Watkins of Washington
county won first place in last year's
competition with a play called, "A
Lesson in Applied Veterinary,"
which dramatized the experience of
a club boy whose calf became ser
iously ill.
The contest is in three divisions
again, including the state-wide and
county contests, and the special
traffic safety state contest in which
Earl Snell, secretary of state, offers
a summer school scholarship for the
best 4-H club radio play dealing
with traffic safety.

Tower Work Starts
For Bigger KOAC
Oregon State College-Work on the
erection of two radio towers 325 feet
high, for the enlarged KOAC trans
mitting system, has started on col
lege property north of Corvallis,
following the completion of the lay
ing of about 50 miles of copper
ground wire.
This directional antenna system
was required by the federal radio
commission to protect the naval ra
dio station at Tongue Point, but it
will also serve to increase the KOAC
service area throughout most of the
state, KOAC officials point out.
The new transmitter is being con
structed preparatory to using 5000
watts power in the daytime, as re
cently allowed by the communica
tions commission, which set the date
for completion of the new station as
April 14.
A recent action by the commis
sion on the sale of an eastern sta
tion indicates the high commercial
value of this state-owned facility,
the radio committee here points out.
WMCA of New York, which oper
ates on 570 kilocycles, near the de
sirable band used by KOAC, and
operated on 1000-watt power, has
just been granted permission to
change ownership at a sale price of
$800,000.
The station here has also received
word that KFYR of Bismark, N.
Dak., which operates on the KOAC
wavelength, has been required to
install directional equipment design-
RESOLUTIONS OF RESPECT
In memory of Sister Sarah Devin,
who died December 22, 1940.
Again, that unwelcome yet relent
less visitor, death, hath entered the'
portals of our lodge room and sum
moned a dear sister to the beautiful
home beyond. Her zealous work in
the interests of our beloed Order,
and her life, laden with gentleness
and kind deeds, has won for her the
plaudit of the good Master, and will
cause her name to be cherished in
the affectionate memory of our
lodge.
And whereas, the all-wise Father
hath called our beloved sister to the
New Jerusalem, where "happily she
hath heard the signal of her release
on the bells of the Holy City, the
chimes of eternal peace." And she
having been a faithful and ardent
worker in the teaching of Friend
ship, Love and Truth, therefore be it
Resolved, that Sans Souci Re
bekah Lodge, No. 33, in testimony
of her loss, and to express its Re-
bekah love, drape its charter in
mourning for thirty days and that
we tender to the family of our de
ceased sister our sincere condolence
and that a copy of these resolutions
be sent to the family.

KOAC, before the North Dakota
station operates on 5000 watts at

Phoenix, Ariz., has applied for per

I 5000 watts in the daytime.
Reapportionment Bills
Not Popular in House
Legislative notes by Rep. Giles M.
French)
They go rushing hither and thith
er. Now that the new codes are out
the boys who have a little bill to
drop in the hopper are busy getting
it written and classified with the
proper new code numbers which
tell what is being done to what.
Very . likely there will be many
more bills introduced this week than
last and most of those introduced
last week will have to be amended.
Fred Paulus discovered from a
reading of the constitution that there
was no chance of paying ministers
for praying over the house and sen
ate as the onstitution made it im
possible. Fred is assistant state
treasurer, not a practicing lawyer,
and the constitutional attorneys run
ning around loose lost a point by his
discovery.
Two reapportionment bills are in,
the one by Neuberger to change the
apportionment of senate and house
and the one by Kimberling of Grant
to reapportion the house. Kimber
ling admitted that his bill was in the
style of a counter punch against
Neuberger's lead. A forecast of
house sentiment indicated that any
reapportionment bill will have short
shrift when it gets on the floor al
though there will be much said
about it in committee and then it
will be tried in the newspapers.
The larger truck bill has been sent
to the senate by its sponsors and
! the high powered lobbyists who are
expected'to put it across are gather
ing in Salem to talk to the boys with
the votes.
This week committees, are begin
ning to meet, partly to get better
acquainted and partly to handle the
first of their bills. Important bills
are looked over and shoved aside as
needing a bit more study.. The ones
that come out soon are the little
things.
Representatives Miller and French
are making ready a bill to change
the method of apportioning the,
highway funds back to the counties.
It is now on the basis of numbers of
cars in each county, each car and
truck drawing $5.32. The bill, if
passed, will put the division of such
funds on the same basis as property
taxes are paid to the state by the
counties. Many of the counties
would gain by this measure.
There is talk of reviving the bill
to increase the pay of county at
torneys and to make a minimum of
$1800 for them. This was passed last
session and vetoed by Governor
Sprague. Sponsors of the measure
have not decided what to do about
it.
