We noticed last week where the state sanitary aulhority was breathing down the shirt collars of 10 Oregon rities and towns because they hadn't taken any decisive action to remedy sewage dis posal and stream pollution problems. Heppner wasn't on the list we beat 'em to the draw! Our sewer system isn't in or operating yet,, but it is approved by the voters and definite steps are now being taken to get the program under way. To this end we were informed this week that all the legal difficulties had been surmounted and that the bonding attorneys had approved the is suance of the necessary bonds to finance the sys tem. That means the city is now in a position to call for bids that it may know the exact cost, and also sell its bonds. There is no particular reason why we should be so happy because our name wasn't on the list of slowpokes, goodness knows though, we ('idn't miss being included by very many days, unless maybe it is just a sort of smug pleasure derived from seeing somebody else called on the carpet Instead of us. There was much local discussion during the past year or two about what actual authority the sanitary board had in the problem of forcing cities and towns to build sewage disposal systems. While the hearing last week didn't actually settle that question, the board did set definite deadlines for the various towns when their projects shall be operating. If they can go that far, it looks like the law has teeth in it. Anyway, It Isn't going to have to try out its teeth on us. Forest Care Needed Newspapers In the past week have been carry ing stories of forest fires burning in various places in the northwest. This is an all too frequent con sequence of the hot, dry weather the area has been experiencing. June rains in the Blue Mountains retarded the fire season somewhat but their ef fect is now disappearing rapidly under the heat and drying winds of the past 10 days. While growing vegitation is still green, the dead need les, grass and twigs which are the dangerous fuels, have dried to the point of easy ignition and rapid burning, according to C. M. Rector, super visor Umatilla National Forest. Fire danger measurements taken throughout the Forest indicate more acute burning conditions than is normal for this.time of year. This shows the need for extreme care with fire in the woods. Persons camping or picnicking are urged to build no campfires without first clearing away ail burnable material from the ground surface, to build only a small fire, and to completely ex tinguish it before leaving it even for a few min utes. Campfires are most easily extinguished by drowning them with water while stirring with a shovel or stick. Smoking while traveling in the woods is con trary to law as is throwing away burning material. All persons are cautioned to use care in this re spect. Camp fire permits are not required on the Uma tilla and Whitman Forests but are on the Wallowa and Malheur. ERUDITE LEGISLATORS IN 1953 The legislative experience of the members of the 1053 Oregon Legislature will he more exten sive than that of any other ses sion in the state's history. In the Senate, holdover mem bers and candidates whose chances of being elected range from good to heavy-favorite odds, represent a combined past service of 21 8 years. This is an aver age of almost seven years experi ence for each member. Among the considered member ship, Sen. Dean Walker (Polk and Benton) has t ho longest re cord in the Senate with 20 years continuous service. In the House, experience ratings are lower as members are elected for two years in the Senate for four years. The combined legis lative experience of the potential members of the House is 224 years, an average of less than four years each. Rep. Harvey Wells (Multno mah) will have the honor of the longest membership in either branch of t he legislature. He has served in 12 regular and three special sessions in the House since 1921. SAY STATE FUNDS WASTED Accusations that state money is being wasted by the State De partment of Administration and Finance were made at this week's meeting of the State Board of Control. Secretary of State Earl T. New bry and State Treasurer Waller J. Pearson, who brought the char ges, said they will demand that the 1953 legislature abolish the act created by the rj;i legis lative body. Harry S. Dorman, who heads the department under the governor, said lie would prove to the 1953 legislature that the department was saving money for the state. "If ttie legislature had given the board of control one half the money that was appropriated for the department of finance, a bet ter Job of saving money for the state could have been accom plished and with but one addi tional employee," Pearson de clared. OREGON STATUES READY Burt Brown Barker, chairman of the Oregon statuary committee, asked the State Board of Control this week to designate a location i i . t on ine capnoi grounds ior iwu statues, replicas of statues of Dr. John McLoughlin and Rev. Jason Lee now being placed in the na tional capitol in Washington, D. C. The request was referred to the state capitol planning commis sion for its recommendation.

When polio is around, the National Foundation cautions parents to watch for these signs: headache, fever, sore throat, upset stom ach, tenderness and stiffness of neck and back. A person showing such symptoms should be put to bed at once, away from others. Then, call your doctor and follow his advice. If polio is diagnosed, call your local chapter of the March of Dimes for advice and assistance, including needed financial help. Monument News By Millie Wilson W. A.

It is unlawful to sell milk below that fixed price. The Milk Administrator pro hibits passing on to you any savings from efficiency in whole sale distribution. Lower cash-and-carry store prices are also forbidden. Thus many parents cannot afford all the milk their growing children need. What Safeway Stands for Safeway believes that the pro ducer and consumer are harmed by milk regulations which fix prices of milk beyond the pro ducer level. For example, price fixing at the retail level tends to reduce competition, create monopolies, and discourage modern economics in process ing, packaging, and retailing milk. As a result the' price to the consumer is often higher than necessary resulting in reduced purchases, smaller consumption and disastrous milk surpluses. When consumers pay cash for milk and carry it home from the store, they save the cost of home delivery and credit. Safe way believes the consumer is entitled to that saving. It is Safeway policy neither to use milk as a "loss leader" nor to attempt to make an un warranted profit on its sale.'"

That is the purpose for which the law was designed. It sets floor prices, not ceiling prices. Q. Doit Milk Control diicourago compotitivt distribution ot milk? A. YES.
