Just a big little
thing to remember
The Pursuit of Happiness is
a wonderful institution, and
we're all for it but not at 65
miles an hour ... or 70 ... or
80. Not nowadays, anyhow.
The Call of the Open Road
is another grand American in
stitution, and at the very core
of our business but the small
voice of Safety must get atten
tion first. Particularly now!
To you people who are our
friends and customers, we have
no intention of preaching. You
know this post-war situation
as well as we do. Yet we'd like
to remind you of one thing
which, when you climb into the
old bus and head for the far
away, it's verv human to forget
very, very, very human. -
No longer can you depend
on your own skill as a driver
to keep you out of trouble. No
longer can you depend on your
own car to pull you through
every split-second, hairline
situation.
Your reactions and your
car's may be as fast as ever.
But what about the other fel
low? Maybe he's not the driver
he was four years ago. Maybe
that heap of his is really ready
for the boneyard. Maybe his
tires are only ten miles from
a blowout.
One other thing it's easy
to forget is this. In the months
to come everybody must read
just to new and snappier gaso
lines . . . new and snappier cars
. . . new and slightly different
tires. You'll do it all right. But
to must other folks!
Maybe this era of mechan
ical uncertainties will spread
caution in such a way that we'll
never go back to those days
when highway casualties made
peace deadlier than war, and
more of our people died behind
the wheel than behind guns.
We hope so, don't you?

This old malarkey about
where the district 2 football
playoff should be held seems
sort of silly to us since Medford
is the defending champion. If
any team wants to argue Med
ford's right to the crown, let
them come to our field and fight
it out. Why drag the champion
to the far corners of the state
for a game with every club with
a record of no defeats In their
own back yard?
Of course, we feel Portland
has a right to the state cham
pionship game. Inasmuch as the
metropolis will draw a much
larger gate and result In a size
able cut for the participating
schools.
Comparable records between
Medford and North Bend should
offer no trouble In helping the
officials to make up their minds
who the district 2 chamDion
should be. North Bend beat
Grants Pass 27-7. Albany 27-0
and Coos Bay 25-0. , Medford
wolloped Grants Pass 73-0, Al
banv 68-0 and Coos Bay 40-0.
We feel the same way about
any proposed playoff between
Medford and Grant of Portland
should Medford beat North
Bend.
Taking the champion to
Portland to play the strong
Grant eleven would undoubted
ly draw a huge crowd to Mult
nomah Stadium but would make
the chamnionship game, also
billed for Multnomah Stadium,
nnti-climatic. Medford is a ble
drawing card In Portland and
we feel their annearance in the
hits citv should be saved for the
tit'e affair.
Hood River looks like the big
favorite to gain a berth in the
finals and probablv would not
draw as much against Medford
at Port'nnd as would a game be
tween Medford and Granf. But
since Portland wants the cham
nlonshiD game, we feel they
should willingly give up the
semi-finals to the other schools
Darticinatinrr. Medford could
nack about 7.000 peonle into the
local stadium against Grant
while the same game in Port
land would draw about 25.000
But, should Medford beat Grant
and play Hood River in Port
land, we doubt the game would
draw 10,000. Are they playing
the game to determine a state
football champion or to sink
money in their coffers?

TO BE IN BLACK
FOR FIRST
Washington U.R Federal
crop insurance may run in the
black financially this year for
the first time since the govern
ment offered it to farmers In
1939, according to J. Carl
Wright, manager of the pro
gram.
Insurance against weather, ln
sects, disease and other hazards
was revived on three crops
wheat, cotton and flax after s
tworyear lay-off of federal In
surance. .
Congress killed crop Insur
ance in 1943 after early ven
tures, covering cotton and
wheat, proved too costly, run
ning in the red more than $S7,
000,000 over a five-year period.
Wright said the 1945 insur
ance probably will come out on
the profit side of the ledger un
less flood or frost bring unfore
seen losses during harvest. The
Federal Crop Insurance Crp.
expects to take a considerable
loss on cotton policies, covering
about eight per cent of the 1945
crop, but probably will take
money on spring wheat and
flax.
Policies were written for vir
tually all of 164,444 applicants
Cotton led the list of insured
commodities with 95,756 appli
cations. There were 14,390 ap
plications for spring wheat in
surance, 31,131 for flax, 10,603
for corn and 12,564 for tobacco.
Corn and tobacco insurance
was on a trial basis. In 1947, In
surance will be extended to
citrus fruits, potatoes and pea
nuts, also on a trial basis.
Three new crops may be add
ed experimentally each year,
and after three years, with con
gressional approval, continued
permanently.
Rates offered by the revived
FCIC are about 10 per cent
higher than under the old
money-losing program.
Blaze Brought To
Waiting Firemen
Upper Sandusky, O. (U.R) It's
a new one when firemen are
ready and waiting for a fire to
come to them.
But It happened when a blaze
started in a carload of baled
hay at Kirby, O. Firemen were
asked to "meet" the blaze at
the Pennsylvania sidetrack.
Meanwhile, a locomotive snaked
the burning car onto the main
track and made a swift run Into
Upper Sandusky, where local
firemen made short work of the
blaze.

London U.R) The Manches
ter Guardian reports that the
new rector and pro-rector of
Heidelberg University, Ger
many's oldest, have hopes and
plans for rebuilding university
life, but that the Job Is one they
think will take years to accom

the newspaper adds, with 300
doctors taking a refresher medi

that medical training for 1,000
students will begin shortly, with
the theology department soon
following.
The Guardian states that the
new rector. Dr. Karl Heinrich
Bauer, is one of Germany's most
distinguished surgeons, coldly re
garded by the Nazis, but allow
ed to go on teaching, while the
pro-rector, Dr. Fritz Ernst, had
managed to avoid membership
in oie party.
As quoted by The Guardian,
Dr. Ernst says that the real prob
