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-

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!

THIRD GRADE NEWS
Audiometer tests were given to
all the pupils by Miss Patricia
Beoudoin of the State Department
of Health. She is testing the hear
ing of every child in Morrow
County.
Each pupil has an ear phone
clamped on his head through
which he listens in order to iden
tify various sounds and then re
cords them on paper to be checked
by Miss Beaudoin.
Martha Tapanainen, county
health nurse, savs that the par
ents of children having hearing
difficulties will be contacted as
soon as the results of the tests
are known.
FIRST AND SECOND GRADES
t Interest of the little people
centered all week on the Hal
lowe'en parade and party which
took place Thursday p m.
The parade was enjoyed by
everyone and the only casualties
experienced was the loss of a
cat's tail (Steve Applegate's) and
most of the suit belonging to the
mechanical man (Bobby Hager.)
immediately following the pa
rade prizes were awarded for the
best costumes in each graoe. me
children voted for Sue Townsend
and Bobby Kindle in the first and
Patty Mahon and Marcen l own-
send in the second, sne naa a
Red Devil outfit and Bobby had
a Monkey costume. The vote was
close In the second grade. Mar
cell's witch costume and Patty's
portrayal of an old woman won
by a very small margin over Le
Roy Gardner who came as a tough
looking western sheriff and John
Privett whose identity was hard
to guess in a sunDonnei anu
dress.
Refreshments were served by
Mrs. Eleanor Gonty, room mother,
and Mrs Alice McCabe. Mrs, Her-
shal Townsend, who was accom
panied by her mother, Mrs hiia
Bleakman, brought a box of Hal
lowe'en cookies as a special treat.
After refreshments games were
played. John Privett was the only
one who could get a bite from
an apple dangling from a string,
while George Ferril was the only
one who pinned the cat's tail In
the proper place while blind
folded.
Absences this week were Bobby

TESTS ON KOREA
We had a test on Korea on
Thursday. The bargain was that
unless we made a 1 or a 2 grade
we had to take it until we got a
good grade. The first time we
took it some of the pupils got
good grades. They were Joann
Brosnan, Beulah Davis, Edward
Groshens, Phyllis Quackenbush
and Judy Collins. Then the sec
ond time eicrht more made the
grade. Then the third time five
more. On the second time the
two pupils who improved the
most were Burke Gentry and Len
Ray Rchwarz, both got a 1 plus.
