Complaints that some drivers 'still disregard Oregon's school J bus stop law have been. reaching the secretary of state's office I sH.ooU nt3ned this fall. The secretary's traffic safety division said school bus drivers are plagued by motorists who merely slow down and then pro ceed to pass a bus stopped to load or unload passengers. Some school bus drivers also share the blame for confusion over the law, secretary of state Earl T. Newbry said. An occa- icnal school bus operator will wave a driver past even though ( lakh-en are leaving tha bus. The law, Newbry said, requires drivers to stop when meeting or overtaking a school bus stopped to load or unload passengers on n two lane road. Where there are New Sprays Control Weeds in Pastures, Legumes, OSC Finds Prospects that an English-developed member of the 2,4-D chemical family may solve some of Oregon's major weed prob lems in pastures and legume hay and seed crops are shaping up at Oregon State college. W. R. Furtick, OSC agronomist, reports effective control of sour dock and other broadleaf weeds with new "butyric acid formula tions" of 2,4-D and MCP. Both 2,1-D and MCP are widely used to control broadleaf weeds in grass and grain crops but injure alfalfa, clover, lotus and other l?gumes. The n?w formu lation developed by a British scientist has the same weed-kill ing power but caused no appar ent damage to legumes in onj- "cle dic ot TnrvalliB and As three or more lanes, only those ve" u,aia PLEASANT VALLEY DAM AND TOPOGRAPHY of the Snake river canyon are reproduced to scale in this 64-foot long model by the Washington Stafe.coIIege division oi inausmai researcn. unaer me direction of Dr. E.

Heppner Eiarket LOYD BURKENBINE Diabetes Week is Being Observed To find the one million un known diabetics in the U. S. is the theme of National Diabetes week, being observed Nov. 13 to 19, and most physicians in this area are joining in the cam paign, it was announced. The week was started In 1948 under the sponsorship of the American Diabetes association to draw the attention of the public to the need for early diagnosis and attention to diabetes. The association is composed of 1000 practicing physicians and uni quely, it conducts no fund-raising campaign. The Oregon State Medical association sponsors the campaign here. Most local physicians are of fering free urine analysis during the week to aid in the search for diabetes. Moving pictures on the diabe tes story are available to organi zations through the state board of health. 1 o COUNTY OFFICIALS AT PORTLAND MEETINGS ELUE BIRDS On Tuesday, November 8, the newly formed Blue Bird group composed of third grade girls, entertained their mothers in the school lunch room.

' 0 October Traffic Deaths Drop Some Oregon's October traffic death count was set tentatively at 38 Thursday, eight fewer than the( 46 fatalities repoited in October a year ago. Secretary of State Earl T. New bry said this pegs the toll for the year thus far at 327 as com pared with 332 at the same time last year. He said the margin may be narrowed, however, If de layed fatality reports force an upward revision of the October figure. The state lias an excellent! chance of completing the year with a net reduction in traffic deaths if the November and De cember totals can be held at or below 1954' levels, the secretary said. Thirty-seven Oregonians died in traffic last November and December accidents claimed 53, worst month of the entire year. o Even alfalfa seedl'.n tp.-I hv nrav applications ulatlons caused no damage to either alfalfa or clover, but lotus seedlings showed some damage at the higher rate. A safe one pound rate on lotus, however, controlled more than 90 percent of broadleaf weeds. Biggest benefits to Oregon, Fur tick believes, will come from con trol of sour (or curly) dock that county agents list as the worst pasture problems in central and southern Oregon, the Willamette Valley, and especially on the coast. H. B. Howell, superintendent of OSC's John Jacob Astor branch experiment station at Astoria, re ports three pounds per acre of the butyric acid formulation killed all dock in grass-legume pas ture trials with only a temporary set-back to the pasture. Other main pasture weeds that the re searchers now hope to control include thistle and buttercup.
