The anniversary date is Dec. 7. It was on that date, in 1907, that a great American tradition was born. Today in millions of American homes the Christmas Seal with the red Double-Barred Cross is as much a part of the holiday scene as the Christmas tree or Santa Claus. It carries a message of hope and good cheer, that tuberculo sis can be defeated, if all of us work together. It was on Dec. 7, 1907, just three years after the formation if the National Tuberculosis As sociation, that Miss Emily P. Bissell, a welfare worker in Delaware, ' offered for sale the first Christmas Seal in this country to pay for contin ued treatment for eight tuberculosis patients. Her goal was $300, but she raised $3,000. Ever .since, the annual Christmas Seal Sale has been nationwide. It is conducted by the 3,000 voluntaiy associations affiliated -with the Nation al Tuberculosis Association in every part of the United States and its territories. The Christmas Seal Sale is the sole source of support for their programs aimed at controlling, preventing, and eventually eliminating tuberculosis. In the 40 years since the first Christmas Seal Sale, tuberculosis has been forced down from first to sixth place among the causes of death in this country. Despite this progress, however, tuberculosis today kills more people than all other infectious diseases combined. It attacks 115,000 Americans every year. Those who buy and use Christmas Seals are helping to protect themselves and their neighbors from this killer, which attacks without obvious syrnploms. They are helping the voluntary tu berculosis associations acquaint more and more people with the basic facts about TB, with the need for chest'X-rays in an effort to findTB early, when it is easiest to cure They are supporting medical research in the development of better ways of treating and preventing 'tuberculosis. This is part of the personal contribution mil lions of Americans are making during the Christ mas season. By buying and using Christmas Seals they are helping to save lives and to reduce the suffering of their less fortunate neighbors. Dec .7 is a birthday worth remembering. GET OUT ON THE CURB SIDE ENGINEERING TALENT SHY National Secretary W. II. Eisen- man of the American Society of Metals told a group at the Cap! tol this week, "The society, lar gest employer of all types of engineers is gravely concerned over the shortage of graduating engineering talent in America. "According to present esti mates the number of engineers who will graduate in 1955 from U .S. colleges is expected to drop to only 12,000 while in the U. S. S. R. continues to graduate 100, 000 engineers each and every year." NEW STATE BRIDGE The Oregon Legislature will be asked to approve plans and fi nancing of a new bridge between Portland and Vancouver. The proposed bridge would par allel the present bridge and each would be a one-way toll unit. The Oregon and Washington Highway Commissions met this week and approved petitions to their respective Legislatures ask ing for authorization to sell bonds to build a structure estimated to cost $11,200,000. It was proposed that the investment be repaid by tolls collected on the two bridges. LEGISLATOR DIES State Representative Stanhope S. Pier, 70, of Multnomah county died of a heart attack November 21 in Portland. He was a member of the Ore on Legislature through six ses sions and was an ex-city com missioner of Portland. Ho had recently been re-elected to his seventh term in the House of Representatives. His death was the fourth of the membership of the 1951 legisla ture.

STATE LICENSES DAM The issuance of a license was approved Saturday by the State Hydroelectric Commission 1o the California Oregon Power Co. fur the $19,910,090 Lemolo hydroelec tric project on the North Umpqua river. LIKES OREGON TOO 4-H News Out of your car by the wrong door can be worse than "out of the frying pan into the fire!" Get out of your car on the , curb tide, says the AAA driver training book, "Sportsmanlike Driving." Cold shivers leap up and down the spine of the driver who sud denly sees a car door fly open on the street side and someone step right out into his path. Next a frantic shriek of brakes! And it's only luck if another terrified pedestrian isn't added to traffic fatality statistics! Perhaps it is a little incon venient to slide on the car seat a few feet to the right and leave by the curb-side door. But it's a lot more inconvenient to find yourself in a hospital with broken bones that won't mend overnight Getting out on the street side is not a sporting gesture. Per haps you don't get hit yourself. But you can cause a car to crash into something else if a startled driver swerves to miss you. Exit by the curb-side door! From The County Agent's Office i By N. C. Anderson During the last few years fer tilizer trail plots have been put out in all Columbia Basin coun ties as a means of answering the questions that have come from farmers who have carried annual cropping practices with the use of nitrogen fertilizers.

When McKay offered Harry Dorman, director of the state department of finance and ad ministration, a $10,000 post in the department Dorman told the governor, "I like Oregon." Then continued, "I have a responsibil ity to the state to complete the designing and systemizing of the new department of finance and administration. While we get some help from the pattern of other states with such depart ments, the laws and conditions in these states and Oregon differ. The working out of many solu tions requires considerable time and ettort. when? there are no proven answers we must operate by test and adjustment." GAS SALES SAG The loss of truck license money is not the only cut made in road building revenues that confronts the Oregon Highway Department.
