Central Ph. 3-5308 Enforcing Highway Laws Still Debated Cave Junction Although traffic fines and bails were lower in Cave Junction in 1956 than in 1955, highway law en- I forcement here is still a much i debated subject among members ' of the city council and towns ; people. Mayor Carrol Banks and a re presentative of the state high ' way department last week sur jveyed' highways leading into I Cave Junction to determine what i warning signs, if any, could be placed outside the city limits. The highway official indicated that a 45-mile per hour zone north of Cave Junction was not warranted, and that nothing could be done about the southern approach until the new realign ment of Highway 199 had been completed. Work on the four miles t)f construction just south of the city will extend into next year. Banks said he has written this week to the Oregon State Life savers commission, asking in formation on "Drive Safely" signs, giving the name and pop ulation of the town, to be placed i near the city limits. Although Cave Junction has in past years gained the reputa tion of being a "speed trap," Banks believes the number of traffic violations stemmed large ' ly from the town's being situat ed on an open highway with no : populated areas on either side. 1 The traffic question will be i further discussed at- the city ' council meeting Jan. 14. Portland (U.R) Andrew F. Jiiras, an employee of the State Welfare Department since 1937," has been appointed as assistant state welfare administrator.

The Army Engineers should be directed to return to an engineer ing program for full river de velopment. It is up to the Con gress to make political decisions, not the Army Engineers. The : public is entitled to an Army En ' gineers report that will set forth ! the soundest, full development program for the welfare of the i future generations. The welfare ; of the future, rather than proj j ects for private utilities result ; ing from underdevelopment of ; our rivers, is the good to be sought." J Project Eliminated I Unfortunately, in the present review, the Engineers have elim inated from consideration proj ects which the Corps believes "contraversial" or unlikely of accomplishment. For example, it has omitted Paradise dam in Montana which would have an ultimate capacity of 1,088,000 kilowatts and 6,520,000 acre feet of upstream storage, primarily because of conflicting "partner ship" applications. Instead, it is studying grossly inadequate al ternatives proposed by the Mon tana Power Company. One, Buf falo Rapids Project No. 2, would have only 80,000 kilowatts and slight storage. The other alterna tive to Paradise and No. 2, is Buffalo Rapids Project No. 4, with one-third the prime power capability of Paradise and 868, 000 acre feet approximately one-eighth of Paradise's storage. Our region cannot afford the permanent underdevelopment that loss of high Hells Canyon and Paradise would mean. It is my hope that the Admin istration will restudy its posi tion and the physical facts of the Columbia Basin and join in a program that will mean rapid progress on multipurpose federal projects and low head private dams, to attain full development in which all share fairly. New Faces When Congress convenes Charlie Porter of Eugene and Al Ullman of Baker will be sworn in as the new representatives of Oregon. They are old and good friends who will be fighting shoulder to shoulder with Dick Neuberger, Edith Green and me for Oregon's best intersts. All of us see eye to eye on most of the major issues which means a strong and unified voice for the State in Congress. Incidentally, the afficial tabu lation shows that my majority was 61,444 votes. Credit for this margin goes to the many friends and supporters who worked tire lessly in the campaign. I wish I could thank each one individ ually. Dick and Maurine Neuberger, Edith, Charlie, Bob Holmes and 1 campaigned vigorously together and I wish to express my grati tude to them and the many oth ers who worked with us. The Morse family sends you warmest best wishes for a happy holiday season. We join in your prayers for a peaceful and better world. May we take this occa sion to thank again our many friends who were so generous to us in the months past. We feel rich because of your friendship. Wayne Morse.
