'FIERY MONSTER' - Upon seeing the pave

department, many motorists are reminded

Mechanical Blessing to Public
Salem The asphaltic pave
ment burner has the appear
ance of a flaming monster,
but this unusually effective
piece of Oregon state highway
equipment is actually a me
chanical blessing to the mo
toring public.
The machine was built to
take care of the asphaltic or
road oil "slick," which has
plagued highways since the
advent of the automobile and
the start of oiling roads in
1025.
No highway traveler needs
to be reminded of the danger
of these sliyks. The causes are
numerous, 'but the main one
apparently Is summer he. it,
combined with heavy traffic
which tends to flush the as
phalt to the surfuce. This
makes the pavement "bleed"
and produces a traffic hazard.
Slicks Become Dangerous
During the wet season of
fall and winter, these slicks
become dangerous. The burn
ing operation starts in the fall,

after the forest fire danger is
past, and continues through
out the winter and spring
months.
The highway department's
effort to "non-skid" asphaltic
slicks has resulted in the pres
ent pavement burner, which
dates back to 1958. It was
built to utilize the intense
heat of propane. Four old
heater-type models were dis
carded because they lacked
speed, capacity or effective
ness. The present model consists
of a flatbed truck which car
ries five eight-Inch propane
torches under an eight-foot
stninlcss steel hood. It is gear
ed down to a slow walking
speed. Tho machine can burn
all excess asphaltic oil at
speeds from 20 to 36 feet
per minute.
The flatbed truck carries
two tanks, one with 400 gal
lons of water, and the other
with 500 gallons of propane.

TN SANTA BARBARA, they're talking about a millionaire
J- who wanted an expensive violin for his son. He was
shown a Stradivarius, allegedly made in 1748, and priced
hi a cooi nunorca inou
sand dollars. The mil
lionaire turned it down
not because of the price,
however. "The firm that
made that fiddle in 1748,"
ho explained, "must have
been out of business for
years. What would wo
do for spare parts?"
A kind-hearted fanner
recoiled at the thought of
using a hatchet on the fat
turkey his wife had singled
out for the family's
Thanksgiving dinner. He
decided to shoot the gobbler.
The wife listened carefully, but heard no shot. She called to
her son, who had gone out to witness the execution, "Hasn't your
father killed that turkey yet?"
"Not yet," corroborated the eon. "It won't get in the way'"
One of Noel Coward's Jamaica acquaintances was bemoaning
the fact that the rank of his old friends was being depleted at
an alarmingly accelerated rate. "Two funerals this week alone,"
he sighed. Coward assured him grimly, "Personally, I'm delighted
now if they last through lunch!"

erates five units, one for each
division in the state.
Alaska obtained an emer
gency delivery on a highway
department pavement burner
in May, 1062. It was needed
to non-skid a dangerous as
phaltic slick that had develop
ed on the main runway of the
Fairbanks International air
port. Two Alaskan Air Na
tional Guard C - 123 cargo
planes picked up the pave
ment burner and flew it to
Alaska.
In response to an emergen
cy call from the state of Wash
ington in April, 1959, the
highway department dispatch
ed a burner and an operator
to the scene of several acci
dents near Castle Rock. That
same year, a similar request
sent a pavement burner to
Idaho.
As a result of these demon
strations of the machine's val
ue, both Idaho and Washing
ton have built similar pave
ment burners of their own.
Several other states have ask
ed for specifications and plan
to build and operate pavement
burners. Foreign countries, in
cluding Australia, New Zea
land, Canada and Japan, have
obtained pavement burner
specifications.
Specially Trained Operator
The burner crew consists
of a specially trained oper
ator, plus a truck driver and
two flagmen. Field engineers
designate the road sections lo
be burned. In the Interest of
traffic safety, the highway de
partment always stops burn
ing when buses, gasoline
trucks, and trucks loaded
with explosives pass.
Latest total figures show
that the highway department
has burned over 1,500 miles
of highway, at an average
cost of $362 per mile. The ex
pensc of this operation Is more
than Justified by reductions
in the amount of highway
sanding required, with corre
spondingly fewer men and
less materials used.
The real value of. the as
phallic pavement burner,
however, is measured In the
probable number of accidents
prevented and the number of
motorists whose lives have
been saved because of the
pavement burning operations

Afhanas' Story
In Publication
Ashland-A short story writ
ten by the late Verne Athanas
will be featured in the April
issue of Good Housekeeping
magazine which will be on
the newsstands next week.
"Twice Blessed" was ac
cepted by the publishers last
spring a week before the Ash
land author succumbed to a
heart attack while acting as
master of ceremonies at the
Western Writers of America
banquet in Boise. Idaho. Ai
that time they requested first
rights on all future work. An
other of Mr. Athanas' stories
is scheduled for spring pub
lication in the Saturday Eve
ning Post.
The well-known writer had
more than a hundred short
stories, novelettes and serials
published in national maga
zines, as well as three full
length novels. One, "The
Proud Ones," was made into
a feature film, others have
been on television networks,
the Wells Fargo and I.nretta
Young shows.
In addition to fiction, Mr.
Athanas wrote articles and
textbooks which arc being
used at Southern Oregon col
lege and was a frequent lec
turer before journalists and
writers' organization.
The story in Good House
keeping differs from h'- cus
tomary western theme and
tells instead the emotions of
a second marriage and its
problems. The original title
was "Second Marriage."
Sunday Closing
Opponents Hurl
Pressure Charges
Sale m HJPB Charges of
economic and religious pres
sure were voiced Wednesday
by opponents of a proposed
Sunday closing law.
It was the second public
hearing on the measure by
the House Planning and De
velopment Committee. The
first hearing, held last week,
was devoted to those who fa
vor the proposal.
Wednesday's spokesmen all
opposed the measure, and
many said they would not ob
ject to taking the question to
the voters. Supporters of the
bill last week almost unani
mously opposed a public vote.
A movie, "One Day Crimi
nal," was shown by the Sev
enth Day Adventists. It traced
development of "blue laws"
in the United States.
Rabbi Emanuel Rose of
Portland proposed an amend
ment to the bill which would
allow a business to close any
day it chose, but the rabbi
would .not say he would sup
port the measure even if his
amendment were adopted.
Courage Asked
Lloyd E. Bigg, northwest
secretary of the International
Religious Liberty Association,
Portland, said "the conscience
is not subject to legislation,"
and called upon legislators to
take "a courageous, position
against all Sunday bills."
"Business can take care of
itself," he added.
H. A. Peckman, spokesman
for the Seventh Day Adven
tists, said the Sunday closing
law was being disguised as a
family day.
The proposal was promoted'
by the "Save a Day for the
Family Committee" which de
nied the measure was an at
tempt to legislate morality.
Portland Sales Consultant
P. P. Friedman said Sunday
closing laws were being pro
posed by large chain stores
locked in a competitive bat
tle with discount houses.
"Stores that are open on
Sunday succeed because they
give, the customers what they
want," he said. "This is an ef
fort to regulate business."
Frank Coumont said the
Seaside Chamber of Com
merce was against closing on
Sunday.
"The family day concept
has been lost in the shuffle
to gain economic advantage,"
he said. "This is an attempt to
bring economic pressure by
stores which are unable to
meet competition."
He said a survey at Seaside
showed a furniture store did
28 per cent of its annual busi
ness on Sunday, a gift and va
riety store 24 per cent, a phar
macy 19 per cent, and a gift
store 23 per cent.
"You can't save a day for
the family by closing the
hardware store and leaving
the bars open," he said.
Other coastal representa
tives also said Sunday closing
would do great harm to the
coastal economy.
Bob Cooper, Newport
chamber of commerce, com
mented to legislators, "I
know you are busy, you are
smart, and you are going to
table this. The law is no
good."
The hearing adjourned aft
er two hours and the commit
tee delayed action until next
Wednesday.
