Reports hav wm in several times nf hit and run acriden'a in the area of the Museum. Just can't helieve the rumor that the kida are hitting the dogs a a game. Can never never forget that awful feeling the one and wlv rime f ran over a dog. I hoped rd fee him get up and run off wh-n I got out of th car. But no he lay very still. It made me so alek t my stomach. Th kid playing In Cm park didn't know whose dog he was. I cut him in the trunk cf the ear and went to th shop ro put in an ad. Later that afternoon the owner cam and ideititxd the do, took him home to bury. He hadn't heen in the family very long:. There was sadness but not as if he had been a long-time member of th family. I tmost precaution should be practiced whenever kid chickens or ring are walking along the road or afreet. You lust ran t tell which way they are going to go. The primary school children have come along from scho and found the dogs lying In a pool of blood. They follow their first instinct and that is to run to Lola Winchester whose ever loving heart would take in every hurt and lost animal Ir's too had that the persona Inflicting the Injury won take rime to stop and do what they can to aid the anima. and find the owner. Groundhog Day For those who are not ready to accept the Judgment oi weather satellites and all the other scientific paraphernal,. r,f pi-ojiftinsr the weather, that time-honored prophet of t elements the groundhog has made his appearance. Febru ary 2 is the critical day. If the old fellow sees his shadow he goes underground for six more weeks of winter. Whether the groundhog's performance haa ever been studied officially hv a government body is unknown, and it would probably make very little difference to the groundhog and his faithful followers if it had. Groundhog Day is one of those rites that demonstrate the essential simplicity of human nature a simplicity that instinctively rebels when confronted with the enigma of the scientific answer. Most of us are happy with the groundhog's way of doing business, but somehow we have to find room in our minds to accommodate knowledge that will foreve he hevnnd the reach of the poor old groundhog. Just as ; precaution, however, it might b a good Idea to follow h the groundhog forecasts with his shadow on February 2. It always pays to be on the safe side. Be A Blood Donor January has been designated by President Nixon as Nat ional Blood Donor Month. As the month draws to a close And the official observation comes to an end, it is well to recall the words of the President in setting January aside as a period of special emphasis on the Importance of blood do nations. He said, "Among the noblest acts of personal gen ersity is the gift of one's blood for the benefit of another. It Is a contribution to health and life for which there is no substitute. "The voluntary blood donor system developed by the American Red Cross and the American Association of Blood Banks provides modem methods for safe and simple dona tions of blood. Contributions of the voluntary blood donor should be recognized and encouraged to assure that our na tion's growing need is safely met." Blood Is needed. Not Just in January, but In every month of the year. Hospitals now use more than 6.5 million pints of blood a year. Volunteer donors contribute 80 to 85 "per cent of the needed blood with a consequent saving to Amer icans In medical costs of some $100 million annually. If you are healthy and between the ages of 18 and 66, the local blood bank and your fellowman need your help. An Englishman visited the U. S. and liked it so much he decided to stay. Some years later he took out his citizenship papers and became a citizen. One day a friend came to visit him from England and was surprised to find he had become an American citizen. "What do you gain by becoming an American citizen?" ask ed the visitor. "Well, for one thing," was the reply, "I won the American Revolution." i Crwqoa't LnUm Pracaa ' quired as many as 2. .'Ml copies H.qrx VUabiUry Cparotioa to satisfy demand.

House bills, traditionally and historically, are printed after first reading and printed copies re delivered to each Legislat or's desk next morning. Senate ills ofen are printed! n ad- ance. In addition to tne tact this calls for speedy -work, the olume is prodigious. And the printer finds the bulk of each iennium's work compressed in to a few short weeks. The Legislative Assembly in 1! introduced a total of 1,714 hills. Ranging in size from 1 to 128 pa?es. a full set of bills contained 17.427 pages. And dur ing the course of the session counting amendments, reprints, calendars, indexes, advance sheets, sessions laws and the like, the printer composed some thing more than 40,000 pages.

All but a fraction of the cost of exposing the legislative pro cess to the public by distribut ing bills Is borne hy the state- While the general public, li braries, news media and others receive bills free, there is a nom inal $25 charge to lobbyists re questing a complete set of all bills. And persons requesting more than 10 copies of an in dividual bill must pay 25 cents apiece for additional cop ies. The Bill Room discourages re quests for complete sets of all bills. On the basis it's unlikely many peope are interested in all bills on all subjects, meas ures introduced in both Houses are assigned to one or more of 200 special interest categories. In addition to single requests for a specific bill, most requests involve persons who want to receive all bills dealing with education, welfare, the environ ment or some other specific in terest category. The Bill Room honors requests both by mail and phone. And much of each employe's time is spent helping people sift through the welter of legisla tion to find bills they want Putting a total price tag on this operation is not easy. The 1969 printing bill alone was $258,139. Subjecting the work of law makers to public scrutiny is one of Oregon's richest tradit ions. The position of State Print er, for instance, predates state- mood. Whatever the cost, it's part of the price we pay for a free and democratic society. On Jan. 29, the Spray Eagles defeated the Dayvill Devils with a close score of 58-54. Al though not officially In the league this year, the Spray Eagles are beginning to be rec ognized as a good, fast team. The starting lineup for the Spray Eagles was Dan Petit, Steve Cossirt, Denis Dennis, Mike Russell and Dean Asher. Kim Dempsey served as substi tute. The Spray fans heart sank when M. Russell fouled out in the fourth quarter but the teams' spirit was not dampen ed. They went on to victory. This game was a great one for the Spray Eagles and their fans.

I think we were typical boys in that much hell was raised and adults, with exceptions, were only partially listened to. Numbered in these exceptions were the people that taught sports, hunting and fishing, and the shooting of a good stick. This is not meant to belittle any other areas but it is a tru ism that "boys will be boys." Carey brought more than a cue stick to a pool table. With quiet dignity he imparted the concepts of sportsmanship, hon esty, and a respect rather than words. I know that many of his oth er "pupils" will join me when I say that Carey enriched my life and will always hold a very warm spot in my mem ory. Thank you, Jesse D. Smallwood USNS Redstone FPO N.
