Daisies Positions In addition to recommend in? the 73 new patrolmen plus . the 79 sought by the uover nnr ihm uhcommiitee deleted ten administrative positions, including seven sergeants, and recommended all uniformed personnel, excluding the com missioner, but Including head' quarters staffs, wear their uni forms during all working hours, travel in standard en forcement vehicles, and carry a citation book and issue cita tions. - , Recommendation! Made Collier pointed out the sub committee made several recommendations intended to increase the number of patrol ling hours obtained from the present manpower. These in cluded: -Elimination of the practice of uniformed personnel being Driver Education Grants Available Eugene - Twenty students who enroll in the problems of traffic safety class at the University of Oregon's sum mer session will receive schol arships from a $2,000 grant contributed by the Allstate Foundation. For the seventh consecutive year, the Allstate Foundation will offer awards of $90 each to persons interested in teach ing driver education. The pro gram Is aimed at expanding the driver education courses in Oregon high schools. This summer the class will meet at 11 a.m., four days a week for the regular eight week session, beginning Tues day. June 18. It will cover tyDes of driver preparation courses, course content, meth ods, materials, techniques of evaluation and professional preparation to meet the traf fic safety needs of schools and communities.

They not only cost money but also deprive the areas of zone commanders service for about 24 days each year. Much of this business our investigation has shown, should be handled by mail." It costs approximately $10,000 to train and equip the new highway patrolman," Col lier said. "We expect these administrative changes to make the equivalent of about 200 officers from the existing force available for patroling the highways. The officers freed from administrative and paper worK com Dined wuti the 79 new officers we have added, should result in an in crease of more than 10 per cent of the number of uni formed men actually patrol ling the highways."

There have have been thou sands of these huge shells brought into the U. S. and prominently displayed, usual ly with the frightening sign, man eating-clam, attached to the shell. The text accom panying, the shell informs the amazed viewer that "this mon ster" from the depths of the sea eats careless swimmers, or those that venture into the ocean's depths." However, the truth is, no human being was ever at tacked by one -of these crea tures in the history of the world. Although these huge mollusks do not occur in wa ters adjacent to any American shore, they are nevertheless familiar objects throughout slates that harbor the sea, and wherever tourists gather. . Gift shops and Curio stores that specialize in marine odd ities often display the "man- eater." To most of the visitors to these shops, not too famil iar with that interesting branch of science that em braces the world of mollusks, this mammoth shell does look dangerous enough to be what is claimed for it on the sign. It is the sign, the size and shape of the shell itself that scares people. The real facts are nearly as startling as is the shell, for this is by far the largest mollusk that lives. Some of these shells in their home waters may attain an overall length of five and a half feet, and weigh, when alive, as much as 500 pounds The so-called man-eating clam that really isn't Is more or less common along the Great Barrier Reef of Aus tralia and In a few other parts of the South PrcKic ocean. Even there, In their natural environment, they pose little threat to man, except in very few cases where a swimmer places a hand or foot Inadvert ently between the two valves of the shell. Even this would have to be done when the mol lusk was feeding and the two valves were open. The giant clam lives on tiny organisms which, like itself, live in the warm ocean wa ters. This clam, like its cousin the oyster, feeds by opening ! its valves and sucking in great qualities of sea water, from which the body of the animal i strains out the living or I ganisms. The huge clam shells dis played in front of the curio I stores will be while and dean, I very unlike its living counter ' part in the sea. In life, the j clam would look much dlffcr . ent being heavily encrusted with barnacles and other forms of marine growths. In its natural environment. : It probably would be difficult I for a diver to sec It. and there fore he might accidentally put a hand or foot In between the two valves. If this happened, he would be trapped and might drown before help could arrive to pry the two valves apart, but he certainly would not be eaten. The number of divers that have been caught in this man ner la few. Like so many stories about little understood things, this, too. has been grossly exaggerated. In its homeland - Australia and the South Pacific - the giant shell is often used for storing fresh water, grain or flour. Over : here, we use them to scare I people.

These figures were determined in a weekly newspaper cost study conduct ed by Carl C. Webb, associate professor at the University of Oregon School of Journalism. The findings of the Nation al Weekly Newspaper Cost Study, were published in the June issue of National Pub lisher. Webb is chairman of the Cost Study committees for both the National Editorial association and the Newspaper Association managers, co sponsors of the annual studies. He also is manager of the Oregon Newspaper Publish ers association. cess as Being Able to Do What One Really Wants to Do. That means knowing what that "what" is, and having the op portunity to pursue it. Most people, he notes, find time to do everything except that one "what" Only those who wan gle their way to the activity of their heart's true lifelong desire - be it writing, clam digging, or vaccinating! - can be termed "successful" human beings . . . Mr. H. feels so certain of that "what" - just more of same - that he won't even accept a breather in which to make' sure. We go along with Mrs. H. here and say. Whoa, boy! Take some time out to look at alterna tives with new eyes relaxed unpressured eyes. How about exploring s hobby? We just' read of a retired musician who now enjoys preparing turkey feathers for archery. How about further study? There's a brand new group, the Oliver Wendell Holmes association, rounding up re tirees who'd like "learning for learning's sake." Then if a job is still the cream in your coffee, fine. If it isn't, neither your coffee nor your future' need be black. Pedersen Returns From Tokyo School James G.
