A. Page Eight Heppner Gazette Times, Heppner, Oregon Thursday, May 22, 1941 Oregon Registers Cars For 36th Year Thirty-six years ago, on May 19, 1905, Oregon started registering mo tor vehicles when the secretary of state issued registration certificate number one to Helmus Thompson, of Eugene. At the end of that year, a total of 218 vehicles was registered in the state. On the 36th anniversary of that date, May 19 of this year, there were 381,150 motor vehicles regis tered in Oregon and by the end of this year, registration is expected to exceed 425,000, according to Earl Snell, secretary of state. Registra tion last year was just 187 vehicles short of 400,000 and to date, the number of vehicles licensed in Ore eon is eiffht rereent aVipad nf tVio registration for the same date a year ago. The Oregon legislative assembly of 1905 adopted an act requiring that owners of motor vehicles in this state must register each vehicle with the secretary of state, paying a fee of three dollars. This fee was not an annual license, but was good for an indefinite time. It was not till 1911 that annual registration of motor vehicles was required. In 1905, the owner received no li cense plates, but was required to dis play the number of his certificate on his vehicle. The numerals could be pointed on, or the owner could pur chase a number plate somewhat sim ilar to the plates now in use. Re cords of the descriptions filed for automobiles registered during 1905 indicate that many of them were tiller-steered and some even were home made. There were 32 cars registerd the first day the law was operative in Oregon, 12 from Portland, ten from Salem, four from Eugene, three from Grants Pass and one each from Woodburn, Arlington and Silverton. Oregon at present has 313,859 pri vate vehicles registered, or one such vehicle for every 3.4 persons living in the state. Fees for motor vehicle registrations for the first four mon ths this year amounted to $2,608,943.

Over-inflation causes p. cessive wear at the center of the tread. Under-inflated tires usually wear at the sides. Notice of School Meetinn NOTICE IS HRRPRV nrauv .

KOSEWALL, Chairman, Budget Committee State Land Use Body Charts Defense Course Increased production of certain crops and livestock products by Ore gon farmers, but without expansion in credit or capital outlay, is advis ed as a sound defense effort by the state land use 'planning committee. This body, consisting of eight far mers from different parts of the state and representatives of agri cultural and related agencies, met recently at Oregon State college at the all of Chairman William A. Schoenfeld, to prepart a report for submission to the federal govern ment. This report, together with similar ones from all other states, is due in Washington June 1. The committee will point out in its report that Oregon is particular ly adapted to produce essential spe cialty crops formerly imported, such as vegetable and field seeds and fiber flax. It is also recommending expansion by means of better man agement in the output of dairy pro ducts, pork, and eggs. Expansion that would call for materially in creasing farm debt or additional cap ital outlay may lead to difficulties such as followed the previous world war, the committee decided. TIGHTENING CHASSIS Include spring clips and soring U-bolts when tightening the chassis of a car, suggests the emergency road service of the Oregon Statf Motor association. Broken spring leaves may result if these units are allowed to become loose. Recreation Held Vital to Nation As Nerve Tonic Recreation tor calm jittery nerves created by the present war situation needs special attention these days, says Miss Izola Jensen, extension spe cialist in community social organiza tion at Oregon State college. In her work throughout the state Miss Jen sen is stressing the value of active recreation which requires "doiig" as a means of relieving the tensions brought on by everyday news of de struction and terror, and ruthless murder unloosed upon helpless peo "To combat the strain of tense ness and worry man needs activity," says Miss Jensen. "Big muscle ac tivity which is experienced in hik ing or taking part in the revived square dances helps to relax ten sions and quiet nerves. To keep a mental balance a person needs to de velop a physical reserve. "We in America need a morale building recreation. We need to make use of the quiet and strength of the great outdoors, enjoy the beauties of nature, know the charm of music, and gain the poise and confidence that comes through cre ating a piece of craft with cur hands' Miss Jensen warns against the idea that recreation may be ignored in the face of grim demands of na tional defense. On the contrary, she says, it will actually aid in the de fense preparation, as it will keep men and women in condition to do their best work. "The young men of our nation to day are wondering what is to hap pen to them," Miss Jensen adds. "Mothers are fearful of what might become of their sons and families are being torn apart. It is well to recall that recreation was original ly a part of religion.' One's mem ory of this could be refreshed by reading Matthew 4:4, which begins 'Man cannot live by bread alone'." More Women, Fewer Men at OSC This Year Oregon State College Although enrollment of men students this year has dropped off materially, largely because of defense conditions, the increase in women students has been enough to bring the total cumula tive registration for the year to 5246, or slightly above last year's figure of 5233. Of the men in college dur ing spring term, 860 are living in fraternities, 694 in boarding houses, 267 in dormitories, 247 are batching, 217 are living at home or with rela tives, 173 are married, 121 live in cooperative houses, and 40 commute from outside the city. PROTECTING CLUTCH Many drivers continue the habit of resting the foot on the clutch ped al, causing excessive clutch wear according to the emergency service of the Oregon State Motor associa tion. The slight touch of the foot releases clutch pressure just enough to cause slippage and unnecessary wear.
