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.
SAVING TIRE WEAR
Tire wear can be kept to a mini
mum u ures are cnecxea tor air
pressure at least once a week, even
though they may look all right, sug
gests the emergency service depart-
ment of the Oregon State Motor as
sociation. Over-inflation causes p.
cessive wear at the center of the
tread. Under-inflated tires usually
wear at the sides.

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.
