What with the energy short age one would think that government would encourage people to cut and burn their own wood, right? Wrong. Government is going to give you a ticket if you use a pickup . this winter to haul your own wood, according to the Oregon Motor Vehicles Division. Pickups used for non-com-merical purposes are licensed in Oregon as passenger ve hicles and cannot exceed 6,000 pounds in combined weight of the unit and load. Owners who want to use their pickups to haul wood can avoid the risk of a ticket for no truck license is the load of wood brings the weight over 6,000 pounds by obtaining a trip permit from the Motor Vehicles Division that will allow them to exceed the weight limit, or by licensing the unit as a truck. For most people, who plan to haul a few loads of wood over a weekend, the division says a trip permit would be more practical. The trip permit costs $5 and is valid for five days. The fee, the division pointed out, is about five times cheaper than a ticket for not having a truck license. Keep smiling! rt opes GIMME! GIMME! GIMME!

WESTERN AUTO Is vlie Energy Crisis Eloal? There are still some doubters - particularly environment al protectors - who yet ask "Is the energy crisis real?" They have been asking this same question for the past few years and creating doubt and energy supply prob lems. Isn't it about time to ignore the doubters? Shouldn't we take time to voice our opinions to our Legislators? How about supporting BPA in plans to lighten the ap propriation process by authorization of "BPA Revenue Bonds"? Although the geothermal generation projects will likely be small compared to our resource needs, don't we need research and greater federal funding of geotherm al development for our area? If the "Nixon" administration is concerned about short ening the time required to get a nuclear project on the line from a present 12 year period to a proposed 6 year period - aren't recent AEC restrictions off just 180 degrees? v Do we need to speed up present hydro projects rather than to allow them to be delayed or impounded by the OMB? Are we needing to develop more hydro projects? Certainly you should be aware of the short resource sit uation in the N.W. in view of the effect of recent critical water levels. "YOU" can be responsible for helping our future power supply needs. Your legislators need to know how you feel about it.
