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.
Salem Chamber of Commerce
convention committee leaders are
planning the meeting for some
100 soil district men and their
wives witW headquarters at the
Marion hotel.

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!

Oliver To Sponsor
State Cattleman
Of Year Award
A longtime Oregon cattleman,
Herman Oliver of John Day, will
sponsor an annual award to the
"state cattleman of the year."
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. '
