Nut Gathering Not
'Hard Winter' Sign
Corvnllis When squirrels
Rather and store seeds and
mils earlier than usual, it
doesn't necessarily mean a
"hard" winter.
Dr. Robert M. Storm, Ore
gon State university zoology
professor, reports there is no
scientific basis for saying
early nut collecting by squir
rels means a severe winter.
Squirrels hide their winter
food in many caches and
sense them out when needed.
Research by others. Dr. Storm
said, shows that squirrels
don't use more than 10 per
cent of lhe food they store.
By using caches out from
under the shadows of tlte
larger trees and by leaving
tuny seeds and nuts un
touched, squirrels are credit
ed wilh starting new trees.
Their value as seed planters
far outweighs their consump
tion, Dr. Storm noted.
was adopted in 1031, based
substantially on the Uniform
Vehicle Code, adopted by the
National Committee on Uni
form Traffic Laws and Ordi
nances.
It establishes certain pre
requisites for the issuing of
a license - tests of the appli
cant's knowledge of the law,
his eyesight, ability to under
stand signs and signals, and
an actual driving demonstra
tion - and rules out the issu
ance of licenses to certain
persons, such as habitual
drunkards, dope addicts, or
those determined to be Insane
or feeble-minded.
Although Oregon law re
quires examination prior to
issuing an original license, it
does not require re-examina-
tion before licenses are re
newed every two years.
May Require Appearance
Many believe this means
Oregon has no driver re-examination
program. The law,
however, provides that the
Department of Motor Vehicles
may require any licensed
driver to appear for an ex
amination whenever the de
partment has "reason to be
lieve that the operator might
not be qualified."
The department can and
docs re-examine drivers when
it receives reports from po
lice, courts, the insurance in
dustry, or members of the
licensee's family that Indicate
an individual may no longer
be competent to operate a mo
tor vehicle. The source of in
formation is held confidential.
If a question of physical
condition arises, the depart
ment relics on the Board of
Health to recommend whether
or not the licensee should
continue to hold a permit to
drive.
Failure to pass the tests
results in license suspension
or denial of a rcnewnl.
The law also empowers li
cense officials to suspend driv
er licenses for other reasons.
Can File Petition
Sonic suspensions arc man
datory, as, for example, a con
viction for driving while un
der the influence; others arc
based on recommendation of
a judge; and some are based
on action taken by a licensing
office, as in the case of driv
ers who are habitually incom
petent, reckless or negligent
in operating a motor vehicle.
The law provides that, ex
cept where the suspension is
mandatory, the licensee can
file a petition within 30 days
requesting a hearing in lhe
circuit court of his home
county.

Religion in America
People Urged To Recall PrayersTo Carry Nation Through Crisis
By LOUIS CASSELS
UPI Correspondent
A prayer for November,
1982:
Our Father who are in
heaven,
Officer Gives Tips
To Drivers When
Stalled on Road
Drivers were urged today
to be alert for mechanical
trouble in their vehicles and
when trouble strikes on the
road, the driver's first thought
should be to get out of the
stream of traffic, according to
Chief of Police, Charles P.
Champlin.
"The driver who slops in a
stream of traffic for any rea
son is all too likely to get
clobbered. Or some other dri
ver may swerve to avoid him
and get in an accident. In ei
ther case, the driver of the
stopped vehicle has set the
stage for an accident," Cham
plin said.
Champlin pointed out that
a driver should be sure to get
far enough off the road to
that he can get out of his car
and i move around it without,
himself, being vulnerable to
getting clipped. Two people
have died recently in Oregon
under just those circum
stances. Leave on Lights
He advised drivers stopping
at night to cither leave their
parking lights and tail lights
on or turn on the dome light
inside, and he warned them
against standing in a position
where they obscure the lights.
'On city streets, you
should get over as close to the
curb as possible in case of
trouble," Champlin suggested.
"If you do much driving at
night, you should carry a
flashlight; and if you are on
the open road often, carry
emergency warning devices,"
he concluded.
Thank You for giving us
another chance.
The last Sunday in October
a great many of us came to
church to pray for peace.
We felt that we were stand
ing on the brink of disaster,
and we turned to You because
there was nothing else we
could do.
We asked You to guide our
President ... to give him wis
dom, courage and prudence.
Some of us also put in a word
for Khrushchev, because we
believe that even he is not
beyond Your reach.
Anxious to Forget
, When we got home from
church, we learned that Khru
shchev had agreed to dis
mantle those missile bases in
Cuba. This news was an un
speakable relief, and no for
mal words of gratitude now
can add much to the first
fervent 'Thank You' that es
caped from our hearts.
But we are weak and world
ly children, Father, as you
know only too well. Now that
the immediate danger is past,
we are very anxious to forget
the whole business, and get
back to our little private con
cerns
Please give us the grace
not to do that.
Help us this time to remem
ber how eager we were to say,
'Thy will be done.'
Help us to remember that
if Your will is to be done in
this world, it must be done
through us, and by us.
Love to All Mankind
Grant us the self-discipline
to seek Your will as earnestly
in periods of relative peace
as we seek Your intervention
when the awful shadow of war
falls too plainly over our
every -day lives to be any
longer ignored.
Grant us the humility to
recognize that Your love ex
tends equally to all mankind,
and that You are not solely
concerned with preserving the
security and prosperity of
Your children in the United
States of America.
Make us mindful of the
needs and fears of others, and
help us to seek peace with
justice for everyone, and not
merely for ourselves.
Grant us the wisdom to de
vote our time, energy, ingenu
ity and substance to projects
that will put peace on a firm
er foundation, as well as to
maintenance of military pow
er to prevent or resist aggres
sion. Grant Us Faith
Guard us from the ever
present temptation to become
as cynical, ruthless and ma
terialistic as the atheistic sys
tem which confronts us.
Forgive us for all of the
times and all of the ways in
which we have failed in the
past to live up to our claim
to be 'a nation under God.'
In the future, grant us the
faith to take whatever sacri
fices may be necessary to re
main true to cTur own moral
principles. And when the next
crisis comes, grant that we
may be able to face You wilh
a little less shame than usual,
and say once again:
"Hiy kingdom come. Thy
will be done on earth, as it is
in heaven."

Strange Germ May
Attack Geraniums
College Station, Tex. IUPD
If your geraniums are the vio
tims of a strange germ, the
Texas A and M extension
service suggests a check for
the hard-to diagnose verticil!
um wilt disease.
Dr. Harlan Smith, plant pa
thologist, said the disease is
often confused with bacterial
rot and plants are thus treated
for the wrong condition.
Like motorists, some species
of ants install anti-freeze in
the winter, generating alcohol
in their bodies to cope with
the cold weather.
