gIDEWALK MANNERS
f Motorists who are reasonably po
Ste when driving and pedestrians
ho otherwise observe proper deco
tum Ao not always practice these
Qualities when walking on side
walks. This observation is the re
sult of a survey just' made in Ore
gon's capital city by C. A. McClure,
Engineer for the Salem long range
planning commission, who has had
Wide experience in traffic manage
ment. "At times the sidewalks are al
most as much congested as the
streets. If the pedestrians would
observe the same rules of the road
when walking on the sidewalks as
they do when driving, walking
would be much easier. Pedestrians
should keep to the right of an im
aginary center line on the sidewalk
Or do we need a yellow line? When
overtaking another pedestrian pass
to the left. When walking slowly
keep as far to the right as possible.
If the people must stop to talk they
shoud stand against the bhilding
or along the curb," advises Mc
Clure. WILDLIFE POPULATION
Estimates just issued by the
North Pacific region of the forestry
service show a substantial number
of big game animals in the 13 na
tional forests of Oregon and six in
Washington. There is estimated to
be 172,000 mule deer, of which 123
000 are in Oregon and 49,000 in
Washington. The estimates for
black deer total 68,000 with 43,000
in Oregon and 25,000 in Washington
In the nineteen national forests of
the two states there are 31,000 elk
of which 25,000 are the Rocky Mt.
elk and 6,000 Roosevelt elk ac
cording to the estimates..

THE GAIN TS LUCRE
The forming of corporations and
applications for security registra
tions for stocks and bonds in Ore
gon has taken a steeplechase tem
po during the past six months.
State Corporation Commissioner
Hudson informs us there are two
and three times as many corpora
tion and security registration tran
sactions each day in his office as
there were a year ago. The in
crease is accounted for by the the
amount of money in circulation- in
the state and the fact that in war
years many corporations dissolved
and then became partnerships to
avoid the high corporation taxes,
and now that partnerships are as
highly taxed they are reincorpora
ting. On the last day of 1945 Ore
gon's money (not the state's) to
taled $360,000,000 of which 56 per
cent was in circulation. Ten years
ago the total in the state' was only
$122,000,000 of which only 35 per
cent was in circulation.
VETERANS WARNED
Veterans with a yen for the soil
are warned .by the agricultural de
partment against farm "booby
traps." There are farms that have
not adequately support a farm fam-1
'fly. In many cases' the soil has I
been exhausted or so badly eroded
it cannot be reclaimed. They are
far from a good investment. The I
department suggests that vets with
out farm experience should spend
at least a year on the farm learning
farm skills and practices that may
mean the difference between sue-,
cess and failure. A brief time
spent on a farm may give a vet all
the farm life he wants and he may ;
decide that it is for the bright
lights of the city for which he
yearns. Experts have listed seven
musts for the veteran to consider
before purchasing his farm. They
are:
1. Talk it over first with the
county agricultural agent.
2. Be sure to have enough money
to pay down, equip and operate a '
farm properly.
3. Don't buy a farm without!
farming experience.
4. Be sure your wife wants to live
on a farm.
5. Don't pay more for a farm than
it would be worth over a period
of years.
6. Don't Luy a farm that is too
small to support your famiy. Also
be sure it is available to good
roads, telephone and electric lines,
r
schools and markets. !
'7. Don't buy a" farm unless both"
you and your wife ere in
health. ' ?

About That Explosion
For weeks Homer Bentley has
tried to uproot that big stump in
his hayfield . . . with team and trac
tor. Finally he succeeds breaks a
score of windows round about, and
frightens the neighbors half to
death!
"All I used," apologizes Homer,
"was a couple of small sticks of
dynamite, like you shouldi"
"That was no two small sticl cC
dynamite," Judge Cunningham ;
severely and it finally comes orA
that Homer got so cussod n?.d : ;
that everlasting stump, hrM r--'-
ed a charge of TNT beneath its
roots.
Reminds you of all the excuses
human beings use to cover Xip bad -judgment.
Like the "two-beer
alibi." When somebody gets into
trouble, and blames it on "a couple
of beers," you can be mighty sure
they are covering up the truth.
From where I sit, a moderate
beverage like beer is a better way
of keeping out of trouble than get- '
ting into it.
