I II Ki Si FLASHING FLAGMAN A new portable light stand, known as the "flashing flag man" is now being used by the state high way department bridge and road crews to direct traffic while emergency repairs are being made. Shown with the development is Charles E. Flanagan, foreman in Portland for the highway department, who suggested the idea. The signs, under development for the past year, feature flashing red and amber lights mounted on telescoping stand ards over paired yellow flags and signs indicating what the emergency is. The lights, powered by batteries, may be raised as high as 10 feet to clear obstructions such as parked vehicles. Highway officials say the invention fills a need of long standing, and will give added protection to both crews and motorists during emergencies.

Duncan Speaks at Student Meeting Ashland - Robert B. Dun can, speaker of the State House of Representatives from Medford, told some 200 high school students and advisors from southern Oregon recent ly that the individual should "think for himself" and stand up to the majority. The occasion was the con cluding banquet for the Ore gon Association of Student Councils Region V workshop held on the Southern Oregon college campus here. Dele gates from student councils participated in the discus sions of the problems of stu dent government. . Duncan used his student council experience to illus trate the importance of each student developing to the full est his own sense of social res posibility and his "willing ness to make personal sacri fice of his own leisure and comfort" to serve school and government. He urged each person to "think for himself," and never hesitate to express his own honest views even though they might be "at odds" with the majority. "Accord this same privilege to your fellows," he con tinued. "It is sometimes the one individual with the cour age to stand up to the major ity who has found the truth we all seek. "This has always been the strength of our democracy. We must never let the fear of an outside dictatorship force us to deny ourself the consti tutional freedoms we are fighting to preserve," he con cluded. President Jim Lewis of Ash land High school was master of ceremonies.
