SUBSCRIPTION RATE, $3.00 PER YEAR SINGLE COPY, 10 CENTS A Serious Matter Oregon residents have heard little else this summer but continual requests by all the var ious forest agencies, the Keep Oregon Green assoc iation and others to watch their step and their actions when traveling or vacationing In the forests. There can be no doubt that everyone Is more aware of the serious fire danger this year, 1Jian in most previous years, but still another warning is not out of place. Though It may be fall, and time for rains, no rain has yet fallen and forest service officials are literally "scared to death" of a blow up in the timbered areas. Morrow county, and the Umatilla national for est as a whole, has been extremely fortunate In having so few fires, but a look at any newspaper during recent weeks with the many stories of ser ious or potentially serious forest fires throughout the state emphasizes the need for extreme care by everyone. While Eastern Oregon forests are unusually dry, the timber lands of the western part of the state are in the most critical condition because of heavier underbrush that is now pnder dry. , With the weather remaining as warm as it has, there is still much temptation to take a Sunday picnic trip Into the mountains. If you do, take every precaution against starting a fine . . . and particularly, watch that cigarette! September and October are notorious in Oregon for being the worst fire months. This, coupled with the extremely hot and dry three months just past, calls for even more fire caution than has ever been exercised by Oregonians. We need our trees . . . and we need them green! Highway Bonds Sold The state of Oregon sold $15, 000,000 of highway bonds this week that will draw a very low rate of interest, all conditions considered. If the low interest rate of 1.615 per cent the state will pay a cri terion, the financial wizards of the country must figure that in flation will continue to spiral and up. Attractive to the bankers is the fact that the bonds are tax-free, also that Oregon has maintained a stable credit over the years, particularly during the 1951 leg islature when pressure groups were in record high form. At the 1950 general election the people authorized $50,000,000 for payment of a veterans' bonus. The 1951 legislature authorized $10,000,000 of highway bonds to be puid by motor vehicle drivers foes, motor carriers fees, motor vehicle fuels taxes and fines. The money will be used to ac celerate highway construction and the bonds will be retired at the rate of $750,000 a year. The highway commission an nounced that a contract will be awarded In November for grad ing and rock filling the Wilson ville cutoff between Portland and Salem. The ready sale of the highway bonds with the low interest In dicates that the predicted diffi culty In selling the veterans' bonds mny not develop. Pay Hike For Pen Guard Salaries of state pen guards will have to be increased If com petent men are to be obtained and trained for the Job. That ten guard positions now are vacant is proof that few like this kind of work. . The state board of control this week agreed on a $50' increase over the present range of $210 to $250 a month. As the biennial budget does not provide for salary increases for guards the board of control will ask the emergency board to ask the governor to ask the civil ser vice commission to ask itself if it can approve the Increase. The result will echo through this routine back to the governor. Praise Oregon Flax Two international flax experts who visited in Salem this week rated Oregon flax as "tops". The visitors, Adolph Beril, New York, who has operated flax mills In Europe and America and William B. M. Fawcett, Boston flax Importer, said the Oregon Flax Textiles mill at Salem is one of the most up to date plants in the United States. More Lawyers Oregon has 90 more lawyers than it had last week. The Oregon supreme court an nounced this week that only 90 of the 135 applicants passed the state bar examination this year. Willamette University maintain ed its record of leading Oregon schools in percentage of its grad uates successful in the tests. Twenty-two of the Willamette alumni, or 95,2 per cent, passed; other schools' percentages were 80.7 for University of Oregon and 77.47 for Northwestern. Law Dean Stewart P. Reese said Willamette had the lowest elimination rate (from freshman to senior years) in the west Soil Conservation Meet A convention of officials of soil conservation districts in Oregon will be held In Salem, November 8-9.

Rally Day and Home Coming Sporlsnunlikc DRIVING 8& VT7- STOP BEHIND THE LINE Haiti Stop behind that line! What line? The line at a street intersection that marks off the FEDESTRIAN CROSS WALK, says the AAA driver training book, "Sportsmanlike Driving." Drive as though that street line were a barbed wire fence, if the yellow light flashes or the red light is on. The line is there to mark off a clear, safe path for use of the man on foot when his turn comes to cross the street. He deserves to take his turn on an unobstructed path. A driver who fails to stop well behind the line is unfair. He lets his car get out of place. His poor driving sticks out of proper traffic patterns like a bad sore thumb. He deserves all the glaring he gets. He is out-of-turn. Stop at intersections when the yellow light flashes as though the waiting pedestrians were your own family out there on foot Give them a safe chance to cross. Stop behind tht line!

Selection will be made annual ly by a committee named to re present the Oregon Cattlemen's association of which Oliver is a past president. Announcement and presentation of the annual award will be made at the group's annual meeting and the winner will receive a rotating trophy. Oliver made the award offer at the Oregon Cattlemen's associ ation's 1951 annual meeting in Ontario where Harry Stearns, Prineville, was named president. Although preparation of the score card to be used in making the selection will be left to the committee in charge, Oliver, in making the offer, expressed this viewpoint: The winner must be doing an outstanding job of range management, livestock improvement, be active in com munity affairs, and be interested in furtherance of 4-H work. The contest, Oliver says, Is in tended to: 1. Make the public and stock men recognize their responsibili ties toward land, the livestock in dustry, and their community. 2. Create a better working re lationship in conservation pro pects between state and federal agencies. 3. Create a better working re lationship on conservation pro jects between local organizations. 4. Acquaint the public with the activities and problems of stock raising. For .many years, the Oliver ranch at John Day has been a good management model for oth er western stockmen. Oliver has been a staunch advocate of 4-H club work as a method of de veloping improved livestock and range managemtnt. For this rea son he emphasized that an a ward contestant would strength en his chances by showing an active interest in the youth pro gram.
