more than the Republicans did in
the past 25 years of ring-in-the-nose
fat cat dictatorship. Rep
resentative Norman Howard, of
Multnomah county. (Lots of
spontaneous talk about Howard
for Speaker in 1959).
Labor has been getting the bite
from Republican legislatures for
25 years, including laws that
benefit none but were modeled to
put labor In a bad light. Some
of these situations have been ad
Justed. Senator G. D. Gleason,
Multnomah county.
The average Oregon family gains
heavily from the 1957 Democratic
legislature. Gains are most mark
ed in education, social welfare
and taxation. The sales taxers
have been rebuffed, tax favorit
ism loopholes in old laws have
been plugged, property tax in
creases halted, the 45 per cent
surtax repealed and realistic
withholdings established at last.
Senator Monroe Sweetland, of
Clackamas county.
Oil Search Encouraged
A proposal to encourage drill
ing for oil in Oregon has finally
been introduced on the 116th day
of the present session. A reward
of $150,000 would be paid to the
owner of each oil or gas well
opening a new field in Oregon
under the terms of the new bill
Representative Clarence Barton
of Coquille, contends that such
an incentive would tend to stim
ulate the search for oil and gas
in this state.
A well would have to produce
sufficient oil or gas In a 2-year
period to pay half the cost of the
drilling to qualify for the prize
A similar proposal was made
12 years ago by former Secretary
of State Earl T. Newbry, when
he was a member of the Senate,
State Office Jammed
One of the busiest state depart.
ments during the legislature has
been the office of Attorney Gen
eral Robert Y. Thornton. The bi
ennial sessions always tax this
department to the limit. This ses
sion, however, the Multnomah
county epidemic of vice induce
ments has added 100 per cent to
the regular work.
It now appears that the legisla
ture will not get around to allev
iating the case-jammed supreme
court where two more supreme
justices are badly needed. At
torney General Thornton has
been able, so far, to keep up with
the current pressure.
Recent decisions from his office
include:
A county is part of the consum
ing public and cannot lawfully
purchase, on the open market,
convict-made goods, wares or
merchandise shipped into Oregon
from another state.
A private vocational school is
not prohibited by statute from is
suing scholarships in such school,
provided that no misleading ad.
vertislng or misrepresentation is
used in connection therewith.

OSC Gets $29,000
Army Grant for
Weather Research
OREGON STATE COLLEGE
Use of radar and other new elec
tronic devices for forecasting and
observing weather will be stud
ied by OSC this year for the U. S.
army signal corps enginijering
laboratories.
A $29,000 grant has been given
the college to conduct the re
search. Dr. Fred W. Decker, assist
ant professor of physics, will be
in charge.
The new research will involve
a study of possibilities for using
the new electronic equipment and
new weather observation tech
niques for forecasting the onset
and paths of severe storms and
for determining storm intensity.
Merits of fixed weather radar
units and portable equipment
will also be comparad by the at
mospheric physics research group
in field studies to be conducted
in the Willamette valley and
Coastal and Cascade ranges. In
struments and techniques needed
to obtain weather data that
would serve army needs in vari
ous tactical situations also will
be studied and recommendations
made.
Weather radar, radio position
ing of lightning discharges, high
altitude photographs and cloud
base and top equipment data all
will be surveyed in research on
precision forecasting of onset of
severe storms.
How electrical storms affect com
munications and other army func
tions is another phase of the
work.
The new study follows a two
year research project recently
completed at OSC for the signal
corps on weather effects on army
operations as revealed in tactical
histories of World War II and
Korea.
Those from here going to Cor-
vallis last weekend to attend
Mothers weekend at Oregon State
college, were Mrs. Walter Wright,
Mrs. Kay Kononen, Mrs.' James
Hayes and Mrs. L. E. Ruhl.

"The Cheap Buyer
Takes Bad Meat"
By Phil Blakney
Over two hundred years
ago this warning was writ
ten, and it is as true today
as it was then.
There are no secrets
about how to be successful
in business. A fair profit
must be made, or one does
not last long. To sell cheap,
er means that either qual
ity or service must be cut
usually both. Medicines
or health aids must al
ways be of the best quality,
and prescription service
should be the best possible.
We wouldn't like to be
called the cheapest or the
dearest pharmacist We
just want folks to always
say that our prices are fair,
and our service is good.
