SUBSCRIPTION RATE, $3.00 PER YEAR SINGLE COPY, 10 CENTS ii Let 'em Walk . . . Many colums of space and many reams of paper have been used in recent years by newspapers and magazines to warn the public of the dangers of picking up hitch-hickers yet it takes an occur ance such as last Friday's to bring the true im pact of the warnings into our lives. This writer has seen the actual photographs taken at the scene of the crime photographs that are not printable in any publication meant for the general public . . . yet we wonder if maybe those pictures wouldn't convey a stronger mean ingtell a more powerful story than all the words of warning that could be written. It seems a crime In itself that one American must pass another deserving American on the road and say to himself, "Sorry, son, but you've got to walk ... I want to live," yet it seems that we must do Just that, Our country has been built upon the premise that "all men are created equal" and the fact that all kinds and colors of peoples have been able to live and work together in one nation is the thing that has made the United States great. Yet, It seems we must say, "DO NOT help your fellow man." Ray Barber is a soldier and at least 99 of our soldiers are trustworthy and deserving of every consideration we can give them, yet because of the actions of one man, or a very few at the most, we are forced to pass them all by when we see them on the road. We don't believe, any more than you do that all hitch-hikers are criminals, yet we do be lieve in taking reasonable precautions against anything similar to the Boardman incident hap pening to us or to our family . . . and, the simp lest method is to "let 'em walk!" WHO KNOWS? Following last week's editorial comment about Stewart Holbrook calling Heppner a village, we received a call from a local resident who is a relative of Holbrook's. She said the writer had been called before on his use of the word village, but she also asked for definite proof for him on the truth of his statement in the same article that the clock in the court house did not stop at 4 o'clock, the time the flood hit, because, as he said, there wasn't any clock in the building until sev eral years later. We don't know ... but surely there must be somebody around Heppner who can definitely answer the question. Let's hear from them. School Tax Before Court The Oregon Supreme court was petitioned this week to determine if it is mandatory for a county to levy a school tax of $10 per cen sus child. This tax has been in effect for a number of years, but income tax revenues have been used to supplant it. Just to have the state on the safe side of the ledger In case of a decrease of income tax receipts, the last legislature vot ed to turn back the tax to the counties. Altho this weighty portion of the tax problem is state-wide the high court was asked for a man A Needle Sewed Up Her Career I ; ' I 1 1 f iirvi ttm if If I f,v if J I i::V ' Of ' V i f A 1 1 1 S lnrni,5lnf ,ml to ne of New York's most charm- SXrKfc. r.ri7.resiKentJ'- h U BUnbeth Bry.n, 20-Tear-old v ,f1.,Vy Rirl wh0 won rnd Prie In the 1949 "Make It Aif?

The court's decision will affect all counties alike, altho the Lane county districts are the only peti tioners. In a recent opion Attorney Gen eral George Neuner ruled that the county courts in the state were obligated to pay the local tax. Employment Gains Continue If employment in Oregon holds up during the remainder of this month it will establish a record for July that is topped only by wartime records. This is remark able considering woods shut downs because of low humidity and this year's between-seasons lull coming early. Unemployment continued low for July. Only 3,592 persons filed claims for unemployment com pensation during the past week less than half of the 7,534 of a year ago. This is the lowest for July since World War II. 100 Million Mark Passed Unemployment benefits paid by the state of Oregon passed the $100,000,000 mark last Friday. Oregon's unemployment com pensation commission was estab lished 13Mi years ago, but it took the first ten years to reach the halfway mark. In the past 3 years payments of one-half of this amount were made. With employment as high as it is at present, the commission funds are a little better than holding their own. Benefits paid during the last fiscal year were $10,652,000 and contributions from employers to the fund were $11,000,000.

He was anxious to learn the pattern of legislative procedure in Oregon, as he has been a mem ber of the Swedish parliament for the past ten years. When informed that Oregon had recently finished its longest legislative session, which just ex ceeded 100 days, he expressed surprise, and commented that the Swedish parliament meets every year on January 11 and stays in session until May 31, then often convenes again in the middle of September and stays in session until one week before Christmas. Edberg, one of six Swedish re presentatives of the Council of Europe, is in the United States to study American government, la bor affairs and the public infor mation industry. Buy Fuel Early Governor Douglas McKay urg ed Oregonians this week to be gin buying their winters fuel supply now to avert a possible tight situation later in th? year.' "Regardless of the international picture," he said, "it is likely that shortages will occur that will make it difficult to obtain or deliver adequate quantities of heating fuels on the usual sched ules."
