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.

NEW 'PrtlCE TAG' LAW
A new law, in effect for the
first time at the November elec
tion", requires that the estimated
cost of a measure to be voted
on shall be printed on the ballot
and in the Voters Pamphlet.
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.

Tax Commissioner Robert D. 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

plete reporting of inventories and
to efforts of county assessors in
verifying returns.

sion discovered more than 250
businesses which had not filed
returns this year.
