Mr. and Mrs. T. B. Bomboy of
Pendleton were brought to Umatilla
late Tuesday evening by tourists
who found them injured near their
overturned car just west of Board
man. They were returning from
Portland and their car turned over
as the result of the explosion of a
rear tire. Mr. Bomboy was pinned
under the car and only the heroic
efforts of his wife, herself badly in
jured, saved him, when she managed
to extricate him from beneath the
car where he lay suffocating after
receiving serious chest injuries.
An ambulance from Pendleton car
ried them to St. Anthony's hospital
and It has been learned that Mr.
Bomboy's injuries are quite serious.

nounced this week that the deadline
on seed loan applications entered at
the local office would be Wednes
day, April 26. All applications must
be in the Minneapolis office by
April 30th, which means the final

AFTER JUNE 9TH
MOTORISTS
APPLYING
BEFORE
JUNE 9 WILL ECONOMIZE.
All Drivers’ Licenses Issued Prior to
June 1 1931, Expire Sept. 1, Also
Every Year Thereafter.
Here’s a tip for the thrifty mo-
torist!
Drivers’ licenses will sell for
exactly twice the present price af
ter June 9, the fee having been
raised to one dollar under the new
law which will become effective at
that time. Those who get their
licenses renewed before June 9 will
not only save half the cost but will
avoid the last minute rush which is
certain to occur, reports Hal E.
Hoss, secretary of state.
The new Oregon motor vehicle
law provides that all drivers' licens
es issued prior to July 1, 1931, must
expire on September 1, and every
two years thereafter, beginning on
June 30, 1935. This means that
every operator carrying one of the
old-type licenses must have it re
newed before September and be
cause there are some 400,000 driv
ers affected by the law, the depart
ment will be flooded with applica
tions as the dead-line approaches.
“Persons desiring to renew their
operator’s cards before June 9 should
secure an examiners’ schedule and
an Oregon Motorist's Manual,” ad
vises Secretary Hoss. "These may
be obtained from state police, coun
ty sheriffs, chiefs of police, news
papers, or by writing to my office.
No one should attempt to take the
examination without first having
carefully studied the information
contained in the manual,” Mr. Hoss
adds.
