A State Law Needed Oregon is now in the midst of that strange period faced each year at this time when a considerable frac tion of the population seems intent on either setting fire to property and forests or trying to blow their own lingers on. THE SITUATION is attributable to three things: 1) The insistance of children and a few adults on the "traditional American right" to shoot firecrack ers; 2) Reluctance of the state legislature to pass a law barring sale or possession of fireworks; and, 3) Purchase made easy by setting up of fireworks stands on nearly every street, just outside the city limits. a a e a e TT IS HARD to understand why sale of fireworks is allowed to continue year after year despite the rec ord of fire losses, injuries and deaths. Other states took action long ago to halt the atrocities their citizens were inflicting upon them selves. The dead and injured in 1938 alone nearly equaled the 10,048 Americans killed or wounded in the six and one-half years of the War for Independ ence. The terrible toll in that year brought remedial action, however, and state after state passed laws banning private use of fireworks. Since then the cas ualty list has dwindled greatly and losses and injuries are now confined almost entirely to such states as Oregon where no prohibition exists. a e e a OREGON'S casualty list is already well filled this v year. Just last week a seven-year-old Portland boy died a horrible death in a burning fireworks stand and here at home a burning iireworks stand enclan gered property in the vicinity, and a dozen or so fires have been set. pITY FIREMEN and the police are not alone in their condemnation of firecrackers. Forest serv ice men and conservationists generally know that crackers and fireworks are potential fire bombs. Practically every city in the state has an ordi nance prohibiting sale or use of fireworks within the municipal limits and an earnest effort is made to en force the law. But the legislature's yielding to the fire works makers' lobby has so far prevented adoption of a state-wide ban. I TNTIL such a state law is passed it looks like we will just have to carry on, trying to put out the fires, bandaging the injured, and suffering such in cidents as that on Wednesday when one of our lower grade morons hurled a firecracker into a passing car in heavy traffic on the south highway.

Herman Nlehols The Old Water Wheel To the editor: Records of early day history describes the over shot wooden water wheel and buhr stone flour null which was built M Ashland in 1R56. Pur pose of the water wheel was to furnish power lo operate the flour mill. It wbs estimated the water wheel produced fifty horse power. I was night miller at the mill in 1884 and recall people often coming in the mill asking may we see the big water wheel run? If the high old water wheel wag in operation at Ashland to day as It wag In 1884 it would lurely be an attraction. F. S. Brandon. By HARMAN United Preae Washington, July 1 U.R) This Is Big Bear week In Wash ington. The zoo Is gathering In a grizzly and cub named " S m o k e y ," which got a "hot foot" in a forcgt fire out west. So here's a good bear story off Capi tol Hill. T h I a one comes from Ivar H. Peter son, secretary to Sen. Wayne Morse (It., Ore.), who doesn't know much about bears but Is an expert on horses. Last summer Pete and his pretty wife, Elizabeth, went to visit with his staler and brother-in-law at Christina lake, In British Columbia. One afternoon, Pete and some others came In from a fishing (rip, trailing behind them a 23 inch trout. Elizabeth, who had stayed be Itlnd, was excited by what she described as a wild "mooing noise" she had heard during the day. The hoys were ton excited about their fish catch to pay any attention. There were pictures to be taken, a fine fin to be cook ed, and things more important than tracking down a "moo." Pete and his pals were in the miri.vt of scaling the fish when a neighbor came In and said a black hear hud been seen In the neighborhood. l'.r perked. Pete learned that there was a wild mother bear on the loose in the neighborhood. She apparent ly was sore because some thoughtless campers had bump ed off a couple of her cubs. Our hero, who hadn't shot anything more powerful than a .22 In more than a decade, bor rowed from a bachelor trapper in the neighborhood a World War I Springfield. By the time our man had re turned to the scene the angry bear was sticking her head out from behind a tree. At (IS yards. Pete drew a bead. He fired. Mama bear toppled. Skinning Undertaken Pete and his brother, John, who hud appeared on the scene by this time, undertook to skin (he hear, on Instructions from the old trapper. They had quite a struggle and It took them about four hours, but they made it. There's Pete'g troubles began. The Canadian authorities won dered why he had had the temer ity to slay a defenseless mama bear. Peterson pleaded self de- W. NICHOLS eelure Writes bear was scaring women and children, not to mention Brother Peterson. He won that one. Then he and his brother drove some 300 miles to take the hide to a taxidermist. The expert said the boys had done an admirable job of skinning. Skin Arrives Late He would have the skin ship ped to the Peterson home In Arlington, Va by Christmas. It arrived in mid-March. That bear never will be the same again. His claws don't touch the floor like any bear mg is supposed to. The whole business most Pete a couple hun dred bucks. Wife Elizabeth is unhappy for two reasons: (1) She doesn't like bears in the first place. (2) The ruffle the taxidermist put around the pad Is chartreuse. It doesn't mntch anything else in tiie house. So the bruin-mat is headed for the moth balls. The Grange Phoenix Orange Phoenix Grange met June 27 with Master Dee llendrickson in the chair.

Crosstown By Roland Coe lr flmwisuM .... rwini "He's part bloodhound, but you can't notice It except when he barlr.il" In the Day's News By FRANK JENKINS I've been reading the teletype. It's exciting and a little acary. But It's also a little confuaing. So I'm not going to try to tell what IS happening. I don't know. I'm just going to talk about what MAY be happening. DO YOU remember the Span ish !wll katlr In l, late 30 s that was the curtain raiser for World War II? This could be Spain all over again. iou must remember that in Spain the Italians and the Ger mans went in on one side and the Russians went in on the oth er side. BOTH OF THEM USED THE SPANISH WAR AS A DRESS REHEARSAL FOR THE BIG GER WAR THEY KNEW WAS COMING. What they really wanted out of this dress rehearsal was to find out what kind of weapons and what kind of men their probable enemies In the BIG WAR had. In many ways, Korea is a dead ringer for that situation. Rus sia is backing the North Kore ans. We're backing the South Koreans. The North Koreans are using Russian weapons and Russian military instructors. The South Koreans are using AMER ICAN weapons and American military Instructors are teaching them. H ERE S what I suspect. The pilots whe are flying the North Korean military planes are probably RUSSIAN' PIL OTS. We've had several hints that South Korean military planes are flown by American pilots. Maybe they're going it on their own as Individuals like the famous Flying Tigers in the Chinese war. Maybe not. Any way, it's a top drawer secret. But I wouldn't be surprised at all if sooner of later we found that the pilot in some North Kor ean (communist plane we shot down was a RUSSIAN military pilot who had forgotten to change his uniform before he took off into the wide blue yonder. ..Miii..iM..u.M.iiHiinni On the Side-8" f v Durlin (Distributed fc Kiaf Feuhirea Syndicate, lasj Al the flight of a river that Howl lo the )r-a. .11 loul rtuhes ever In tumult te thrr, O twofold existence I am whtre Ihou art, My heart ll lha dlitanca beau rloke to thy hum.

On the teletype appears this significant statement: "President Truman was appar ently confronted today with a decision on whether to order American TROOPS, as well as combat planes and warships, in to the fight to save Southern Korea from communist con quest." Personally, I think he will HAVE TO. What if the Russians, if we go in again with TOO LITTLE TOO LATE, should drive us out of Korea in another Dunkerque? It would MAKE THE RUSSIANS COCKY. If they get loo cocky, war for the dominance of the world will come Just as surely as the sun will rise tomorrow. DEMEMBER, this is all mere speculation by an Insignifi cant little writer far out in the sticks. But It could be true. ....AROUND HOLLYWOOD li VIROINU MaefHIRSOM United Press Cerrespoadeat Virginia KacPheno Hollywood. July 1 (UP) Lisa Ferreday, black-eyed beau ty from Hungary, came up today with a substi t u t e for " cheesecake " She calls it "tease-cake." Guaran teed to keep a girl from catching cold when she has her picture taken. For "teas e-cakc" you keep your clothes on. Lisa says It's sexier. This Is a fragrant violation of all that Hollywoods held near and dear for two decades of plunging necklines. But Lisa swears a maiden Is more allur ing covered up than she Is In Bikini briefles." "I'm tired of being brazen In a bra," she said. "I'd rather be negligent In a negligee. It't more effective.' Lisa's looks pack a powerful punch no matter what she puts on, but she says It's impossible for a girl to look seductive In shorts. "Skimpy bathing suits do noth ing but nothing! for the male blood pressure," she says "But with 'tease-cake' . . . AH . . ." Boiling Point Jumps The masculine boiling point, according to Lisa, goes up in proportion to the number of curves you leave to his Imagination. We dropped a picture of her being "brazen in a bra" along- Ide a picture of her looking negligent in a negligee", then polled every newspaperman who walked by. Eleven out of 12 picked Lisa's "tease-cake" pose then hung around to drool. Eagle Point Adopts Budget, Water Rules Eagle Point, July lAdoption of the 1950-1951 city budget and imposition of lawn and garden Irrigation restrictions at Eagle Point have been announced by City Recorder Sam F. Coy. The budget, approved by vot ers during the week, amounts to $5,662. Eagle Point, which has Med ford water, is going along with Medford In the irrigation restric tions. According to the regula tions, all residents on the east side of Little Butte creek will water on Mondays, Wednesdays and Fridays and Sunday morn ings. All on the west side of the creek will water on Tuesdays. Thursdays. Saturdays and Sun dav afternoons. The traffic situation in Man hattan is very bad at this time. However, I have seen worse traf fic Jams in other cities. The worst regular daily traffic jam I ever viewed was in Fleet St., London. I was born and reared in New York City, but the first time I saw London I was amazed at its size. It seemed to me I had never seen so much traffic and so many people anywhere. Schoolgirl Figures Discussing the matter of a married woman in her thirties, who has been a mother, retain ing the same measurements she had as a bride, a Weehawken, N. J., matron says: " I am 33 years old and the mother of two child ren. My measurements are the same as the day I married. They are: weight, 118 pounds: height, five feet one and one-half inches; bust thirty-four inches; waist, twenty-four inches; hips, thirty three inches. I wear a size eleven dress without alterations." Horror Tales What do you consider the top horror story? Will you settle for. r ranKenstcin .' ur do you think "Dracula" more horrible? How about Poe's "The Fall of the House of Usher"? or "The Monkey's Paw." by W. W. Ja cobs? As for "Frankenstein," it was written by Mary Shelley, wife of the poet, at Lake Geneva. Switzerland, when she was 19. At that time the Shelleys were ltvine in a cottage near one oc cupied by Lord Byron and a doctor named Polidori. Byron, Polidori and Shelley had an ar gument as to who could write the most horrible story. Shelley didn't try to write one. Byron started one but didn't finish It. Polidori wrote one about a vam pire. Mary Shelley, overhearing the discussion, decided to give horror story writing a trial. So she wrote "Frankenstein." Please Note Now the psychiatrists are In vading the sports field. It has been said of that excessivly glamorous tennis star, "Gorg eous Gussie" Moran, that she has "a psychological inability to clinch a match when she has es tablished domination." Miss Moran admits this weakness and has been consulting s psychia trist to see U he can help her eliminate it. Horses 8t Women The best dressed women In Europe are those who live In Rome. The Parisiennes are Just not in It with the Roman charm ers when it comes to style. The French women have a tendency to overdress. The Italian females never make this mistake. One of the top secrets of appearing well dressed is to have clothes that fit. Women in all classes in Rome usually have their own dress maker. There Is a higher per centage of dressmakers in Rome than in any other city in the world. French women are clever in covering up their defects and emphasizing their good points. In that respect the Roman beau ties have another advantage: they are better looking than the French women. They have fewer defects and more good points. Passing By Myron Cohen. The salesman who developed into a high sal aried night spot comedian. His ability to tell a comic story as It should be told brought him fame and fortune. However, Myron's success hasn't changed h i m much. He still lives in the same he end his wife moved when apartment in the Bronx to which they were married, twenty-six years ago. Not many people still live in the place where they spent their honeymoon. First Time What are your memories of the first time you drove an auto mobile? When John Woodson of Arkansas, first attempted to drive a motor car he flattened a garden scat, fractured his great-grandmother's ankle and bent the front axle. His great grandmother took a sympathetic view of the mishap. She said: "It wasn't such a bad start as an auto driver for John. After all he is only 3 years old."
