In celebration of Earl Blake's 90th
birthday last weekend, a surprise
party was attended by friends and
relatives from near and far
" T h e y ’ll have to pack me o ff this
mountain when I leave here," Blake
said Ami as he datved amund under

The letter from the eastern Oregon
district attorneys asks the lire mar
shal to adopt clear rules "defining
what constitutes pcnnissable dispen
sing o f gasoline as cardlocks to com
mercial customers and what con
stituies the retail'sale of gasoline in
v iohition of the ban on retail self ser
vice m Oregon ”
The DAs' letter to the fire marshal
savs that a 1906 Oregon attorney
general's opinion does not make
clear the distinction hclwcen a
"c o m m e rc ia l customer and a
''re ta il" customer and therefore
creates a problem of interpretation
o f the law It further asks that. once
rules are adopted, the fire marshal
"initiate enforcement action against
those tardkxk operators who may be
in v iolation of the ban o f retail sell
service."
