LOVELESS, Secy.-Treast with a "bookkeeping-' deficit at the end of the present biennium, as the funds can be used to wipe out the deficit estimated to be between $5,000,000 and $8,000,000. IS THERE A DIFFERENCE? The State of Oregon has never failed to provide well for its wards. At each session of the legislature funds for food, cloth ing and other necessities are ap propriated for the coming bien nium. If the price of these com modities goes up above the esti mates the emergency board rais es the money to meet the higher costs of living of the wards. The wards must eat. With the servants of the state it is different. When their salar ies cannot meet the rising costs of living they must go hungry or get another job where prevailing wages are paid. This makes tax es higher. Valuable and experi enced workers must be replaced with green help and the cost of conducting state departments mount. Better salaries attraact better employees. The present members of the emergency board are taking a new look. LOCAL OPINION ON SCHOOL PATROLS School safety patrols may be establsihed by school districts and boards for the purpose of reg ulating the conduct of pupils go ing to and from school, but the patrols may not regulate traffic or perform any functions proper ly belonging to the police power of the town or city wherein the district is located, according to recent opinion of Attorney Gen eral George Neuner. A school district is not liable in damages for injury or death of patrol members while on duty, , and superintendents and teachers I can be made to respond in dam ages only in the negligent ad ministration of such a system. BEEN WATCHING PARKS CROW? Oregon has ecently added more charm to her state park system justifying fast-growing fame for having the most alluring natural parks of any of the states. One of the most beautful of these Hilmick park adjoining Camp Adair south of Monmouth, has just been enlarged to five times its original size. The added area extends along both banks of the Luckiamute rver, and "contains some of the most enchanting syl van glades in the west," declares S. H. Boardman, state park super intendent. During the past few weeks two new state parks have been ac quired: The Sunset park area deeded to the state by Coos coun ty and 400 acres on upper Rogue river between Trail and Prospect. The latter has two miles of front age on each side of the river and cost the state only $1600, most of it for back taxes. OHEGONIAN SLATED FOR CABINET Secretary of Agriculture Clinton P. Anderson announced this week he will quit his cabinet post be fore the end of the fiscal year, confirming the report made ex clusively in this column more than six weeks ago. Anderson will run for the senate in New Mexico to succeed Senator Hatch (D) who is not seeking re-election. Norris E. Dodd, who started his public career in Oregon as an AAA committeeman and rose to head the AAA in Washington, D. C, is scheduled to succeed An derson. LIQUOR BY THE DRINK j A preliminary initiative peti tion to permit sale of liquor by the drink was filed with the stale department this week. The bill would legalize such sales in ho tels, restaurants and clubs and on airplanes, steamships anu railroads. All liquor sold by the drink would have to be bought from the state liquor commission, it would be subject to an additional tax of 25 cents a quart. Dispensers would pay $500 a year for a li cense. It could be sold only in places which serve meals, but the liquor could be served m any room in such an establishment. If sufficient signatures are ob tained the measure will appear on the November ballot. Eastern Oregon College of Edu cation. Mr. Donald W. Amund son, instructor in social science, evaluated the high school group. Mr. Alvln R. Kaiser of the Eng lish and dramatics department was the critic for the elementary section, and both men served at the evening performance. The committee in charge was Mrs. Marie Clary, chairman; Mrs. Lucy Rodgers, secretary; Mr. and Mrs. Feathers of Lexington; Mr. Forsythe and Mrs. Ely of lone; Mr. Fahey and Mr. Bergstrom of Boardman; Mr. Solwold and Mrs. Hayes of Irrigon; and Mr. Tetz and Mr. Jackson of Heppner. Yvonne Hastings of the Heppner high school was property man ager for the plays. All participants from outside" schools were guests of the Hepp ner school at a cafeteria supper, and all participants were admit ted without charge at the eve ning performance. The speech festival was held first in 1945 at the Lexington school. In 1946 at the Boardman school and last year at lone. The event is the culmination of works done during the year, and it closely follows the state speech program, so that the contestants can go on to the next division, if they wish. The work is of great value, and these festivals help to rate Morrow county among the top ones in the state in speech works.
