PEARSON Salem - IUPD - The legisla ture approved $224 million (or roads and a bridge to ease Oregon traveling; then it pro vided two sets of time to con (use half the travelers who take to the highways. If roads - $192 million, plus a $24 million Astoria- Megler bridge, and $4 million each (or highways 42 and 197 - were the biggest budgeted items, Portland - area day light saving, time Is certainly the most talked-about. As many a driver has found out. It now takes a little over two hours, by the clock, to travel from Salem to Port land. It takes about five min utes, by the clocks, to get back. ' Opponents are calling this the legislature's most insult ing action, since Oregon voters turned down daylight time again last year. Nervy or not, It's catching. Communities all over the state have met to consider fast time, artificial time, sum mer time, and sundial time, and one town declared in jest It would, move its calendars a week ahead. The change, at least, has Dointed up the ties that link the rest of the state to Port- Jand, and perhaps by infer ence the ties that bind Port land to the rest of the nation If nothing else, the expert ment is timely, since it will eive voters an actual up-to- date experience when they vote on statewide fast time at the polls next year. In addition to , highway spending, the highway code got a thorough spring glean ing. Hotrodders were told to mt their car bodies at least to the level of the wheel rims, log truckers won protection against outsiders, and laws were laid to clear away bill boards that obstruct scenic views. Small Worlds Around Us By Lynn M. Watkins (KiilfUr anS Trlbun. sjrndteat , . IM1) For Grandma. Watar Glass Was Used for Eggi If he la hunting for some specific something under wa ter, the sklndlver, to save him self needless swimming may use a "water glass." Some fishermen use tnem to see if they should fish a particular spot. This so-called water glass ' can be a simple, homemade object, a pall with the botton out and a round piece of glass substituted or a tube or box, either of which has the glass as its bottom member. . ' The ''water glass" becomes very serviceable tool when the glass section is pushed just under the surface of the wa ter: thereby closing out light coming In from the side, and avoiding- the reflection from the water's surface. By look ing Into the open end of the tube or pail; the lake bottom becomes . plainly visible. In clear water, even a bottom many (eet below can be examined.' Other Tvpes And, too, there is the "wa ter glass" on a boiler, whose visible gauge registers the amount of water inside the boiler. This is a glass tube. The container you drink from at your meals is also a water glass. But these are all radi cally different (rom the gadg et the fisherman or the skin diver uses also very differ ent (rom the "water glass" that grandma used to preserve eggs before the universal use ot the modem refrigerator. Grandma, as well as all her contemporaries, used water glass. She bought It, a thick liquid, at the store. She didn't call it by Its right name, sod ium silicate; she just called It "water glass." She filled a crock, its size depending on the number of eggs she had on hand, until the top layer of eggs was just below the crock rim. Then, after mixing the water glass with a small amount of water, she poured the mixture In the crock until it completely covered the eggs. ' 1 ,- Then she placed the crock and its contents away in a dark - place, being confident that something or other in the water glass would keep the eggs until she needed them. She stored the eggs before the time the hens stopped laying, which they did at certain sea sons of the year. So grand ma stored eggs when they were plentiful against the time when they were scarce. Porous Shells , She never thought about it, but there was then, as well as there is now, a certain poros ity of egg shells whereby, if left . exposed to the air for some time, they lose their freshness and taste. The water glass solution sealed the shells, or at least kept the air from acting on them and robbing them of some of their goodness. All the elements contained in fresh eggs were locked in by the water glass. Grandma probably never looked through a "water glass" In her life, but she knew what water glass would do for a large setting ot eggs during time the hens were resting instead of laying. The Army is trying to de vise tank like vehicles that will step or Jump rather than roll. One has been made with rectangular "wheels" that lift and move ahead alternately. A few more daring nova tions were dashed. The legis lature had its fingers rapped with a veto when it tried to give heavy trucks a tax break. Reflectorized and life term license plates were re jected. The driving age stayed at IB, in spite of efforts to raise it. Compulsory auto Insurance died, but Sen. Robert Straub (D-Eugene) said he will try to take It to the people. What looked like the out break of a bridge epidemic was nipped when the solons denied pleas for four more bridges - at Albany, Oswego, Dayton and Ontario. Gov. Mark Hatfield's nleas for speed limits and laws to make It easier to arrest and test drunken drivers were ig nored. A law requiring safe ty belts died after one law maker said surveys showed people usually "sat' on them." Like highways, the legisla ture made extensive over hauls In the fields of criminal law, the militia, and com merce. Interim Ideas Approved Most of the Judiciary In terim Committee's legal rec ommendations, were approv ed, including a strengthened law aimed at curbing obscene matter, particularly for chil dren. The legislature's successful efforts in the field of justice were capped with a modern ized definition of legal In sanity inai win give more weight to psychiatric find ings. It replaces a century old low. The code governine the state militia was completely revamped. A sweeping commerce code to update laws governing nearly all business transac tions, was passed, but it won't go into effect for two years. The need for the two years was expressed by a young at- torney wno said It made half his law school trainine at least partially obsolete. The legislature extended civil rights to public services. It also approved humane slaughter for steers and pigs, but got no-where in efforts to end the death penalty. Atty. Gen. Robert Y. Thorn ton failed to win $50,000 for crime prevention. Lobbyists' fortunes swayed with the legislative tides, but a class they won an im plicit vote of confidence when bill to regulate lobbying failed even to get out of .com mittee. MONTGOMERY WARD & , .
