BUDGET MAY BALANCE cHnatinns have developed which strongly indicate that the 1953 session of the Oregon legis lature will not be as strenuous imn trvinc on members as was ni.hrpaklnf session of 1051 which lasted 116 days and took a death toll of two over worked staunch hearts, Senator Carl L'ngdahl and Representa tive J. S. (Jack) Greenwood. The twelve legislative interim committees have done an expert job coordinating proposed legisla tion. This should shorten the ses sion. This session will not be faced with the appalling financial prob lems that worried members two years ago. Income tax revenues continue to increase. At the end of the present blen nium state departments will turn back Into the general fund a sur prising amount of money. Estimated revenue and expen ditures, as computed by the bud get department, are nearer a bal ance than in many years. State department requests for the next biennlum exceed $240,. 000,000 but this figure is subject to scaling down by the state bud get department and the ways and means committee of the 1953 legislature. Requests for the present bien nlum totaled $250,000,000 but were cut to 180 million by the budget department and to $178, 000 million by the legislature. These budgets do not include the budgets of self-sustaining de partments which collect their own fees. Kor the year ending Juno 30, 1951 income tax revenues were 50 millions. Instead of taking a dive as experts predicted, they jumped to 05 millions for the year ending June 30, 1952. FIRE DAMAGE LOW The damaire caused on state and private lands this year was only a fraction of that caused In 1951. "We were just plain lucky," Oeoree Snaur. state forester, said, "as this year has been almost the worst forest fire weather in his tory." Only 17,150 acres of forest lands were humed this year, compared with 125.t!(;G acres last year. This year's fire loss was held down by the lack of an east wind during the long dry periods. DRY BY THE DRINK October in Oregon this year was one of the three extra dry Octo bers In more than three decades. An average of only .64 of an inch of rain fell In the entire state according to federal weather re ports made available Monday. The second best lmiianon oi a ralifornia drought made in an Oregon October was in 1936 when .24of an inch was recorded. But the all-time record for a dry October here was registered in 1917 when we ran a dead heat with California. That was the year the cranes in Crater Lake got bow legged. No precipitation whatever was registered. CIVIL DEFENSE JOB Man lev Robinson was appoint ed Friday coordinator of supplies for the Oregon State civil ueiense Agency. His work will entail or ganizing sources of supply throughout the state for use in event of a large scale disaster. Robinson, formerly director of the State Highway Department Travel Information Bureau re signed several months ago after building one of the nation's out standing travel bureaus here. TEENAGERS IN ACCIDENTS A total of 175 teenagers suffered accidents in jobs during Septem ber and October this year. In thirty per cent of the cases, the workers had been hired in violation of Oregon's child labor law. Most of the accidents, 110, oc curred before the school term started. There were two boys killed. One was scalded in a can- HEPPNER Grade School News SPORTS NEWS The Heppner Grade School Ponies football team has stored awhy their gear for another year.

It's easy to redecorate your bathroom each week. You can do this without spending a cent on painting or papering or even, on structural changes. All you do, suggests the Cannon Homemaking Institute, is to change your color scheme each week. With varied towel colors, plus occasional changes of small decorative accessories, your effects can be constantly new and inter esting. For instance, your bath-, room may one week have a gay Provincial theme, with "Chanti cleer" bordered towels. You can use the same style towels for win dow curtains, tied back with strings of wooden beads to match the borders. On another occasion, you can create a Victorian theme by using richly patterned floral towels in brilliant colors to contrast with your walls. In this plan, you may change window draperies to a clean-cut candy-stripe chintz. Add some Victorian bric-a-brac, and you have a bathroom in an entirely different mood. Or, you may choose for your bathroom's decor a strictly modern theme. For this, a smart idea would be solid color towels of sculptured or textured designs in colors to match or contrast sharply with the wall colors. Bright cakes of soap in a modern wire bowl would be an attractive accessory. Do you see how easy it is to change your bathroom to match your mood? All it takes ia a vari ety of towels in lively colors, a few charming accessories plus lots and lots of imagination! casts and will direct their own plays.
