Activ Training Through enlistment in the Na tional Guard, the unit command ers said, young men can receive initial military training with the active Army and later learn while serving at home. Other Guard benefits, they pointed out, are earning extra money, building up a retirement pension, and acquiring skills that can be used in civilian life.

Its recent gyrations have been interesting, to say the least. There have been times when they were FRIGTENING. Mon day, for example, when the mar ket dipped more than eight points and shrunk the value of listed securities some four bil lion dollars. That nose dive came at the end of a period during which the values of all listed issues had dropped some 20 billion dollars since the second day of last August. That gave us the shivers and well it might, for in the epochal debacle of the autumn of 1929 the shrinkage in total stock is sue values was only about 15 billion dollars. BY MONDAY night, it was hard to escape this thought: Is this IT AGAIN? APPARENTLY it ISN'T. At any rate, the stock market rose sharply Wednesday. It rose again Thursday morning, in active trading. Gains extend ed to nearly two points over a broad list. Steels, oils, chemicals, rails and aircraft shared in the rise. Trades included large blocks ranging up to ten thous and shares. Buying was so active that the tickers ran behind again as they did yesterday. IIHAT happened? IT to the conclusion by Wednesday Purpose of the campaign, he said, is to fill Guard ranks with eligible young men willing tp take the six months active duty: for training proposed by the de partment of defense to start,1 April 1. General Rilea said an arrange ment has been made with hre Sixth Army permitting Oregon National Guardsmen to take their first eight weeks of basic training together in the form of two "Oregon Companies" of 150 men each, who would report for training at Fort Ord, CaliL, as an organization. "Our first Oregon comparny composed of 150 men is slated to depart about the middle of March," he said, "while the second Oregon company leave shortly after school is out . in June." Last year's "Muster Days" netted the Oregon National Guard over 1,034 new enlist ments, placing the state second high in the nation in todal strength gained. Parents will be able to obtain further information on National Guard opportunities during the one-day recruiting drive Sunday, Feb. 24, at the National Guard armory. National Guard person nel will be; available to answer questions pertaining to enlist ment. Klamath Millworker Killed Under Car " Klamath Falls U.R) A 28-year-old Klamath Falls mill worker was killed Friday night when he was crushed uncWtr his ! car when a jack gave war. Police identified the victim as Norman Sabin. They sadd he had been dead about an hour when the accident was dBscov ered.

So there was a rush to BUY. That belief carried over into- Thursday. So again there was. a rush to buy, which gain lifted prices. What does that mean? It must mean that there is plenty of CONFIDENCE in the future of America's economy. That spirit of confidence in the future was lacking in the black autumn of 1929. T IT'S jump to no conclusions: " It isn't safe. The present hor izon isn't clear of clouds. The clouds, perhaps, are no bigger than a man's hand. But they stilll are clouds. The boom has lasted a long time. It has been riding pretty high. Measures de signed to hold it under control are distinctly not popular. There aiie plenty of people who want toi KEEP it riding high, wide and hiindsome regardless. That being true, the boom cruld get out of control. In that event, it would almost certainly be followed by a bust. But at last there are recognizable dif ferences between 1929 and now. Tjhe wild boom of the late 20's vfas based largely on specula tion the desire to get rich qsiick without doing too much work. The present boom is based up tin an expanding economy and a swiftly rising population. The tconomy is expanding because of technological advancement in industry. This technological ad vancement gives us confidence In the future. Because of confi dence in the future, families are growing in size. More family units mean more markets for a rowide range of products. And so (on. - ItTF WE keep our shirts on Z-S. we don t try tc get rich t UU quick, if we stay willing to work for what we get, if we spend a little less each year than we earn thus providing a back ground of saved-up capital with which to finance the expansion we anticipate the future should remain bright. That is apparently the think ing that brought buyers back in to the stock market as soon as it was felt that prices had drop ped below values. Portland Taxi Driver Says He Was Harrassed Portland (U.R A taxi driv er testified Friday he had been "harrassed" because of his testi mony before a vice-probing grand jury here last summer.

Benge claimed the arrest was "harrassment" by the vice squad because he had testified before the grand jury. Police Lt. Carl Crisp denied this.- A modern voting machine has about 28,000 parts.
