Used Motor Vehicles To Go Up For Sale Salem (IP The State De partment of Finance and Ad ministratiorr said Saturday a used motor vehicle sale would be held here April 25 at the state fairgrounds. Forty-seven 'used state owned vehicles will be sold to the public by oral auction. They include 39 passenger cars and eight trucks from 1947 to 1957 models. Successful bidders deposit 10 per cent of their total bid immediately and complete payment by May 1, 1958. their money: (1) Buried it. (2) Took it ashore and spent it on wine, women and song. Nesmith inclines to the sec ond. "I think most of them spent it," he says. "I question whether pirates buried their gold. It seems to me that any pirate silly enough to bury his money would have been keel hauled by the crew. Finds Are Many "I have never found in 35 years one single case where it could be proved that any treasure was dug up on a beach in a pirate chest that was buried by a pirate. That doesn't mean that there's no buried treasure. Plenty has been found. It's being recover ed regularly now with modern equipment, such as 'M-scopes' metal detectors." Nesmith says a few treasure hunters have been successful in a big way "and those are the ones who are written up in the books." H has gathered several of these stories of re covery of treasure Into a book, "Dig for Pirate Treas ure," to be published next month. Some of the most heavily financed treasure hunting ex peditions have found nothing and some of the lucky find ers have just stumbled on it. Small boys, poking and dig ging around, have been mark edly, sucessful. Skin divers in Florida bark their shins on galleons. Common in Mexico The burying of money has been done mostly, Nesmith feels, by people in fear of pi rates and robbers, before the days of banks. "Mexico is literally sitting on buried treasure mililons of dollars in hard money that they began coining money in went out of circulation. People have buried it. In Mexico City, thtey began coining money in 1536, more than 200 years be fore this country was found ed, and chances are there's more money underground there than in any other coun try. "It comes up all the time in digging of cellars, knock ing down of old adobe houses. You can figure what takes place: the workmen and every body grab what they can and run in all directions." A person who finds gold to day, he says, is afraid of two things, the tax collector and the possibility that somebody will take it away from him. Anyone finding treasure may discover that it is worth more to museums and collectors than the metal's sale worth. ' Publicity Hunts "Lots of hunting expedi tions," Nesmith says, "have beenv ruined by publicity. Why? Because people will move in on you. A friend of mine was working on finding what he thought might be Billy Bowlegs Rogers' treasure in Florida, doing a serious job, and it got in the paper. Next Sunday, the whole territory was clogged with people." Women, Nesmith says, aren't buried treasure hunters: "Chasing rainbows is a man's avocation. The women just wait for them to find it." 300 Million Dollar Biennial Budget, i State Prediction Klamath Falls (IP) Pre dictions of a 300-million-dol-lar biennial budget for Ore gon in 1959 were expressed here Friday at a meeting of the Legislative Tax Study In terim committee. , S. W. Horn, chairman of the state tax commission, said a budget of that size would mean a state deficit in the general fund of 529,400,000 by June 30, 1961. The current biennial budget is 272 million dollars. To wipe out the predicted deficit, Horn declared, the legislature would have to in crease income tax rates an av erage 21.2 per cent over pres ent rates. Horn emphasized, however, that the tax commission esti mates could not be considered a firm forecast. They were based on an assumption of economic conditions at the same level as August, 1957. State Sen. Rudie Wilhelm Jr. (R-Portland) requested the tax commission staff to pre pare tables showing the effect of revenue from a three per cent sales tax, with food ex empt, to be distributed to school districts under the basic school fund formula. Rep. Clarence Barton (D-Co quille), vice chairman of the committee, asked the tax staff to prepare similar tables showing effects of a two per cent tax. Barton has been op posed to any kind of a sales tax in Oregon. ineyii uo it .every lime &y jimmy mtlo 8 lilt IT s nniw why SHOUUA Lit VQU.-'MYHAIKOUS)!

Stops Constipation Due to "Aging Colon" New laxative discovery re-creates 3 essentials for normal regularity. As you grow older, the internal mus cles of your colon wall also age, lose the strength that propels waste from the body. Stagnant bowel contents be come so dry and shrunken that they fail to stimulate the urge to purge. Relief, doctors say, lies in a new laxative principle. Old-style bulks and moisteners may create gas, take 3 or 4 days for relief. Old-style salts and drugs cramp and gripe the entire system. Of all laxatives, only new Colonaid gives you its special 3-way relief that works only on the lower colon (area of constipation). (1) Colonaid moisturizes dry, hardened waste for easy passage with out pain or strain. (2) Colonaid's unequalled rebulking action helps re tone flabby colon muscles. (3) And .Colonaid acts gently, on the nerve reflexes that stimulate the vital "mast movement" of your lower colon. Colonaid relieves even chronic constipation overnight; is so gentle it was hospital proved safe even for women in critical stages of pregnancy. And Colonaid won't interfere with absorption of vitamins or other food nutrients. Get Colonaid, today! Navy Secretary To Address League San Francisco (IP Sec retary of the Navy Thomas S.
