A Duty For Everyone A request fame this week from Pioneer Memor ial hospital for additional names of persons who are willing to sign up for the hospital's "walking blood bank". Our hospital, like many other small institutions is not able to carry a stock of blood plasma, and must rely upon registered donors when the need arises. It's a simple matter, and practically a pain less one, to sign up for such volunteer service, and and have your blood typed by the hospilal staff so I hey will have a permanent record of who they may cull upon in case of emergency. The hos pital now has a list of names, but a recent inci dent brought out the need for a larger list, and a little more cooperation among those who have already signed. Recently some blood was needed and a member of the hospital staff spent nearly three hours calling registered donors in an effort to find one With the right type blood, who was willing to aid a patient needing a transfusion. The list was exhausted yet not a single person con tacted could or would take the time or trouble to make a trip to the hospital for this necessary donation. A nurse on duty finally offered to give blood for the patient. The need for a larger list of donors is obvious, but local residents should have no reason to feel particularly proud of such a record as the above. In this case the time element was not too import ant three hours delay didn't mean the difference between life or death, but in many cases it can. The least we, as citizens can do, is to drop our work long enough to take the few minutes necessary 1o give n pint of blood that may save a life. If you haven't signed up as a donor at the hospital, call Heppner 3000 and you will be given an appointment for a blood typing and your name will be placed on the list. It's an obligation we all have and should be glad to fulfill. Why not a Morrow County Saucer? With people all over the state, and in fact throughout most of the country seeing flying saucers every few days, we feel slighted here in Morrow county so far, we haven't had a single one of the things reported by a local resident. We can't believe that the eyesight of our resi dents is any worse than that of citizens of other sections, or that our people don't have just as good imaginations, but, it still holds that none have been sighted, or at least, reported, snooping around over our grain fields or mountains. .We certainly hope that someone will make a little effort to spot a few of them within the next week or so, so we can get en the news map along with Washington 1). C. and all the other counties and towns that have been having nightly or weekly visitations from the .space travelers or whatever they may be, While we're at it, we hope somebody gets a good picture of one we'd like to have it. Better yet, grab one as it goes by, it will make a dandy exhibit lor the fair. Words, Words, Words!

The law provides that the secre tary of state do the estimating and have the assistance of the stale treasurer and the budget director. These officials are work ing now on five measures to ap pear on the ballot. Assistant Secretary of State William 10. Healy required an opinion from Attorney General Neuner on the new law as it per tains to losses a measure may cost the state. Neuner's opinion said the law does not require that losses be estimated or printed. This omission will be corrected by the 1953 legislature, several members have declared. MILLIONS AT STAKE If "No" votes prevail on Ihree measures on the November ballot It would save the state from los ing biennial revenues estimated at $18,0-15,624. The three measures are the so called big truck industry measure that would prohibit the voters of Oregon or the1 legislature from levying a ton-mileage tax on commercial vehicles. The bien- J tiial loss, if this measure is pass ed, is estimated to be $12.21)0.000. The second measure, backed by I the big truckers, would void the weight-mile fee bill passed by the 1 1951 legislature. Estimated bien jnial losses here are $3.8f.0,()(K). The third measure would amend the Oregon constitution to prohibit pari-mutuel belting. Losses here are estimated to be $1,985,021 for each biennium.

Mac lean reported this week. The 1952 total of $105,045,000 represents an Increase of $120, 827,000, which Maclean attributes to the policy of the present tax commission of encouraging com plete reporting of inventories and to efforts of county assessors in verifying returns. Field operatives of the commis sion discovered more than 250 businesses which had not filed returns this year. RECLASSIFY STATE JOBS Revised job qualifications will be put into effect at state insti tutions September 1, James Clin ton, civil service director, announ ced this week, that will leave 136 vacancies to be filled.

The attendant classification will pertain to work at Fairview Home, institution workers at the state tuberculosis hospital, and psy. chiatrie aid at the state hospital for the insane. There will be a reduction of working hours from 18 to 44, at the same pay. The new pay sche dule will be $193 a month for a 1 1 hour work week.
