Stop That Hit and Run
ir in sad and had. 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

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

One source indicates there al

in printing measures as quick

House bills, traditionally and
historically, are printed after
first reading and printed copies

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.

In addition to single requests

Subjecting the work of law

one of Oregon's richest tradit

Whatever the cost, it's part of

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

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.

was a part of our recreation.
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

quiet dignity he imparted the
concepts of sportsmanship, hon

words.
