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.
Prerequisite to the advanc
ed course is the driver educa
tion course on experience in
the field of driver education.
It can be taken concurrently
with the advanced course. Dr.
Wayne Brumbach, associate
professor of physical educa
tion, will teach both courses.
used to transport vehicles.
-Prohibiting transfer of
field personnel to headquar
ters on temporary duty to aug
ment the headquarters staff.
-Overtime pay, Instead of
compensatory time off, for all
extra hours worked by patrol
men.
-Limiting crews at fixed
scale locations to only one
uniformed officer to write ci
tations, with civilians hand
ling all other duties.
-Reduction of $31,000 of
the amount requested for air
craft rental purposes for pa
trolling purposes, in order
that the officers may return
to the highways
Staff Meetings
"Zone staff meetings every
month may be nice, Collier
added, "but they are a luxury
we can't afford. 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."

Man-Eating Clam
Raally Harmlass
If you have gazed in awed
amazement at the so-called
man-eating clam in front of a
curio store, it might come as
a slight disappointment to you
to know that, in spite of what
the sign reads, this giant of
the world of mollusks is really
a pretty narmiess monster
that poses no threat whatso
ever to anyone.
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. I

Mr. B. H. - It's self-preservation!

' Mrs. B. H. - My husband
will be automatically retired
by his firm in September, and
already he's sending in appli

Senior Citizen Centers to find
him a job. He hasn't even tried
out a few months of plain

Mr. B. H. - I know the one
thing I like best. It's work:
I've been a salesman in a de
partment store for 40 years
and I'd like to sell for another
40. My wife and I have done
our share of traveling during
long vacations. I dread a life
of bench-sitting, movies, and

Weekly Newspapers
Note Rise in Income
Eugene - Weekly newspa
pers had an increase of 6.8
per cent in total income in
1962 over 1961, while the
total expenses went up only
3.7 per cent. 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

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

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

along with Mrs. H. here and
say. Whoa, boy! Take some

How about further study?
There's a brand new group,

neither your coffee nor your
