And that doesn't ineluda the million others who enjoyed their whiffs of nature in state parks. It does not include the 4.234.310 persons who merely passed through the national for ests without pausing to gnaw a sandwich. And nobody hu tried to compute the legions that picked their own pet spots at the ocean, on lakes, in forests, (long streams out of range of those who get up the fig- HaT m mrmm$)i Today closing prices lected storks follow: Al.

Many of them are equipped with outdoor stone fire places such as the one aboro. ores. That's another tremendous army. It was a great year for pic nics the greatest, in fact, in Oregon, but it won't be up to 1940. Because now TO out of every 100 persons in Oregon have automobiles, the peak in Ore gon car ownership. The people just have to have these cart because otherwise they couldn't get out to some enchanted spot of their choos ing on Saturday or Sunday and back to the old job. With aU that fishing, swimming, hiking, surf playing, crabbing, clam ming, snowballing and skiing, scenery and glorious air beck oning, the magnet is well nigh irresistible. The people have to go. And they door so a survey conducted by The Oregonian Oregon State Motor association white motorlog car revealed. The paid servants at Salem and Washington, D. C. have fixed things up pretty nice. Nature at its best wss out there all the time. But there had to be roads. If people were to go tor a day or overnight or for a week there must be water to drink, water for fire protection, space for cars and trailers, fire places for cooking, tables, play grounds, safe swimming and other conveniences. All has been provided. Its a reasonably safe asser- tlon that every man, woman for state parks. and child in Oregon could close up shop and go on a picnic or camping Jaunt at one and the same time and find modern conveniences and all the elbow room required for a perfect day. The national forest parks ars the ones that apparently ring the bell in these parts. It may be due to the policy of manage ment As F. V. Horton, assistant regional United States forester in charge of recreation, puts it, the idea Is to avoid regimenta tion. By that he means that when the town fellow takes the little woman and the kids to the forests to make a day of it ha does so that all may enjoy freedom. Not that the city and town dwellers ars exactly im prisoned in their daily lives, he says, but because they live along daily-practiced lines that in the happiest of homes and most satisfactory offices and stores and factories there is in cluded a good deal of sameness. So the forest policy is to expect and require only those stand ards that most people naturally observe and the parks are theirs. That ranger, if you hap pen to see one, is not a cop policing you. He's Just a swell chap trying to help you get a biKEer kick. That's the United States forest policy and it goes Meteorological Report I 5TH COLUMNISTS Address Opening Convention Cites PUD and Repeal of Reciprocal .Trade Aims Forecasts Mcdtord and Ttclnlty: Pair tonight and TuMdar. little change in tem perature.

Gill of the Oregon State Grange said today "it is the duty of every patriotic citizen to sup ply any information that will lead to the protection of our country from fifth column activi ties." In an address prepared for the opening session of the five-day 67th annual grange convention. Gill warned that fifth column activities "are seeking to handi cap our defense program." and that "over iealous patriots may try to take the law into their own hands." Tight for P. U. D.'s The master said the grange would fight with renewed vigor for people's utility districts, as serting "our sow progress to- wsrd public ownership Is retard ing the development of the state and we are losing opportunity after opportunity to advance our agricultural and industrial pro gress." The National Grange, he said would continue to seek repeal of the reciprocal trade agree ments program, under which "our country has entered intdl a lopsided bargaining program." He said the program has handi capped American farmers. Gill proposed that corporation farming be restricted by taxa tion and by denial of agricutural subsidies, and he promised the grange would continue to sup port legislation to tax chain stores. For Age Pensions The grange, he said, will sup port legislation requiring lobby ists at the state legislature to register, and It will advocate that old age pensions be financed by taxes on incomes, inheri tances, luxuries, gifts and cor porations, instead of by taxes on1 sales and property. The grange will. Gill said, seek passage of a law to prohibit sale of liquor near dance halls, schools and gasoline stations. Gill recommended a tax pro gram which Includes higher fed eral taxes on high and medium incomes, higher tate income taxes and higher taxes on large farming operations. He recom mended that the grange oppose sales taxes, tax exempt securi ties, home exemptions, and a tax millage limitation. lt.000 Eat Oysters Bay City.
