NEW MONEY COMING
Two thousand miles for a fish?
O no! To enjoy the beat of the
sun, the smack of the breeze and
the thrill of a fish that fights like
a wildcat.
That's what fifty million people
want to buy. And that's exactly
what Oregon has to sell and will
sell. Fifty million dollars worth at
least in 1946. That much was sold
to 128,000 tourists in 1940. Fifty
million dollars in new money will
be brought into our state by tourists
the. coming year. It will continue to
come in other years if we do our
part as good hosts. Thirty-one per
cent of the autombile traveling on
Oregon highways in November
carried out-of-state licenses, says
Harold B. Say, state travel bureau
director.
A record tourist parade has
started already. ,

BILL OF RIGHTS DAY
" Tuesday morning Governor Earl
Snell stressed approval of the na
tional observance of "Bill of Rights
Day" and called attention to the
date, Dec. 15, stating, "It is only
fitting that this document, which
is the essence of our free and dem
ocratic way of -life, should be hon
ored by this observation, particu
larly just after the termination of
the recent terrible war, fought for
the preservation of the liberties set
forth in the Bill of Rights."
GOVERNOR URGES CARE
"I would like to call attention to
a nation-wide campaign against
preventable accidents during the
1945 Christmas holiday season,"
Governor Earl Snell said this week.
"The campaign is being conducted
by the National Safety Council and
130 cooperating organizations. Ac
cidents can be stopped by common
sense and courtesy. Let us remem
ber to have regard for others, as
well as ourselves, by using safety
precautions on the highways, " in
our homes and in our recreation.
While we are celebrating our first
peacetime Christmas since 1940, it
would be doubly tragic to have
this season marred by preventable
accident fatalities."
The position of Oregon state ar
chivist, which was created by the
1945 legislature, goes to David C.
Duniway, Miss Ekanor Stephens,
state librarian, announced Satur
