Not For Us!
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.

Seven-year-old Karen Blecha enacts 1952 polio precautions
recommended by the National Foundation for Infantile Paralysis.
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.

NEW IDEAS FOR ROADS
Theories and ideas new in road
construction were brought from
Europe by W. II. Baldmk, state

from a six-week trip to that conti

One new construction known as
prestressed concrete has just been
tried in Oregon, but Baldock got
experience information from Dan

able in perfecting the mix used.
The best roads he observed on
the trip were in the British Isles,

Under the present Oregon Milk
Control Law the minimuni re
tail price of the milk your child
drinks is fixed by the Milk Ad
ministration. 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.'"
Shop Safeway... for fine foods at everyday low prices
The question and antwers below show tome other wayi in
which Oregon Milk Control affects YOU.
O. Do Milk Control hold pricti up?
A. YES. 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. No one can enter the milk business if the Administrator says such
new competition might disturb existing distributors.
Q. Do.. Milk Control ollow you a lowor pric wh.n you carry milk horn, your.tlf?
A. NO. You pay the higher costs of door-to-door delivery whether you use
this service or not. '
Q. Dooi Milk Control limit th rlthn.it of milk?
A. YES. The richness (butterfat content) of milk sold in each price range
is limited by the rulings of the Milk Administrator.
Q. Do.t tho Orogon Milk Control Low rtgulol. Sanitary eondiliont?
A. NO. It has absolutely nothing to do wilh the sanitation, health inspec
tion, cleanliness, or the purity of milk. ""pet
0. Doot Milk Control limit tho supply of Grodt A milk?
" t se.n.Grae A milk for your use a farmer must first get permission
from the Administrator, f he gets permission (and many do not) he i"
given a quota. If he produces more he must often sell the surplus at
lower price for cheese or other factory uses.
