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. E.C.F.

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.

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.

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.

Lytton.
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.

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."
