They are not primarily interested in steelhead and most of
tte itSiead they catch are caught accidentally in the net
alSiouTh hofes in the nets are designed to be Urge enough
for steelhead to escape. Canneries do not consider s eemead
economically profiuble to can. although some is ptocessec.
The State Marine Board, in a release to newspapers this
week points out that if Measure 4 is approved, the state will
lose registrations of 650 commercial fishing vessels. Fees from
this registration go back to the county to be applied against
property taxes, and this would hurt Clatsop county.
U Astoria's fishermen should be forced to move to Washing,
ton, their families would also go. The Oregon canneries could
not process the fish caught in waters under Washington s
Jurisdiction. wouid prohibit fishing within the ocean's
three-mile limit, so far as Oregon is concerned. This means
that any fish caught within three miles offshore could not be
canned in Oregon. , . .
The letter to the editor says that steelhead count at The
Dalles dam was lowest on record. Count has been taken there
only for a matter of four years. The chlnook and salmon run
was the best in many years.
Some sports fishermen are laying the blame for what they
consider to be a decline in steelhead entirely at the door of
th commercial tntrrests. They nwpw fture of tljr
estimate made prW la the construction of the dams h
mer. The dams ihrmwltf and livted stream 4JiK'H
are main reason u dam- to tHa fish run.

Ph. 676-9481 HEPPNER. ORE.
Prior to the Introduction of the
1965 Fords, the country's lead
ing automotive writers drove
the new models at Dearborn.
Most of these experts remarked
about the extraordinary quiet
ness and smoothness of the Ford
ride. An automotive writer, in
Mechanix Illustrated, said, "If
there is a quieter car made in
this country, I haven't driven it."
Quiet Means Quality . . . Since
quiet is a traditional measure
of car quality, Ford engineers
designed the '65 Ford for maxi
mum quietness. To illustrate
1
New RolU-Royce SUver Oou4 III
during series of tests.
this quality achievement, Ford
chose to make a documented
test against the world's finest
luxury car-Rolls-Royce.
Bolt, Beranek and Newman,
Inc., world's leading acoustic
consultants to government and
industry, conducted the tests
under supervision of the au
thoritative United States Auto
Club. All cars were tuned to
factory specifications.
The Result... The Fords proved
to be slightly quieter at all
speeds.
The official test report read,
in part: "AjL.aJLmo-vin
on both courses, the Fords were
quieter than the ftoIlvKoyccs."
The Difference . . . The sound
level difference, to be sure, is
small-but it is there. At 60
miles an hour, Ford was actu
ally 2.8 decibels quieter than
Rolls-Royce. At 40, Ford was
5.5 decibels quieter. At 20,
Ford was 4.9 decibels quieter.
However small these advan
tages over Rolls-Royce may be,
they are significant evidence of
quality important to anyone
buying a car in Ford's class.
Take A Test Drive ... A key
and a warm welcome-await
you at your Ford Dealer's. The
key, incidentally, flu in the lock

symbolic of the hundreds of
advances you'll find in any Ford
you road-test Come in and see
for yourself.
