PAGE TEN THE EVENING HERALD, KLAMATH FALLS, OREGON October 1?, 1941 MOTOR POO BANS NIGHTLY USE OF AUTOS OLYMPIA. Oct IS WV-State official! announced today that the new motor pool plan, now in operation at the capitol, will be carried out soon on a state- wide basis, ponding word from Attorney General Smith Troy on whether all aspects of the icheme are legal. Under the proposed change, most of the state's 600 or more autos would be parked in state garages except when being used specifically for state official bus iness. The plan would apply to all state departments except those headed by elective offic ials, the latter being given their choice as to whether they wish . to participate. Except In a few isolated in' stances, and in the case of the 180 vehicles operated by the Washington state patrol, all autos would be parked in- state garages overnight The garages used would be those maintained throughout the state by the highway depart ment under the department's revolving fund. At present, various depart ments "own and control - the use of state cars individually. In many instances, department employes are allowed to take the autos home overnight' and in some cases, the department pays for garage rental. Under the new setup, various departments funds -would be credited with the "blue book" price for each auto thrown into the motor pool.- - .; Departments would then be charged "rental" for the" use of autos from the pool. Accounts for gas, oil, . repairs and other expenses would be kept by the highway department ' Depart ments would be charged a cer tain amount per mile for use of the vehicles. It is estimated the expense will be less than three cents a mile. .- The new system would enabled state officials to know where all cars are at all times. . Be fore taking an auto out of the garage, the' user would be re quired to fill out a form tell ing how the auto is to be used. This form would have to be signed by the department head before the vehicle was released. In returning the auto, the user would be required to sign an oath, stating the car had only been used for official bus iness., Falsification of the oath would be considered grounds for dismissal of the state em ploye. Since the plan has been in operation here, only between 30 and 50 per cent of the autos in the pool have been in use at any one time, half or more of the 100 vehicles;Iying idle all ot the time. ...

It 8 e e m s as if any woman should be able to figure that out for herself, but there are lots of women who want to be good hostesses who violate that simple rule. Then they wonder why guests seem to have a better time at other houses than at their own. - There is the woman, for ex ample, who likes a particular Elsewhere In Oregon W til The Housewife' By EARL WHITLOCK' ! . .

'Blue Mountain , Sage' Sells His Newspaper Interest CANYON CITY, Ore., Oct. 13 (P) Clint Haight, editor of The Blue Mountain Eagle, sold his interest to his partner, P. F, Chandler,' Saturday and took leave of the fourth estate with this editorial comment: "Forty years hunting news for a country weekly, 40 years open ing a big armful of exchanges every evening, 40 years trying to make ends meet editorially, is. half a lifetime and more, and I am worn out, satiated, and have quit, and quit for good. I don't want ever to see a newspaper again. . . Haight, who came to Oregon's John. Day valley in the rough, jaw- days, achieved state-wide fame and respect as an editor, The Blue Mountain Eagle was read far beyond its circulation area by ' newspaper men and others who stumbled on Haight's ;Cockeyed World" later 'Clint's Chatter" column and became Haight fans. The editor, who roamed the hills and mining fields of three eastern Oregon counties for his news, acquired considerable min ing interests. Haight was born in Davis. Calif., (he . will not ' say what year) and came to Oregon as a child. He resided in Portland when the city's population was 21,000, graduated from Willam ette university in 1897 and the University of Oregon Law school In 1900 but never practiced. He operated several eastern Oregon weeklies before acquiring the Grant county news which he later consolidated with the Eagle. The news once was edited by Joaquin Miller, famed poet of the 'Sierras.

Then there is the woman who prides herself on her fried chick en and will serve it to a guest who, she knows, .would take a steak every time if given a choice. But -she takes pride in the way she cooks chicken and, since she enjoys serving and eat ing it does not consider whether or not the guest enjoys eating it, too. ARRANGING TO HAVE , " GOOD TIME HERSELF There is also the woman who knows when she arranges the furniture in her living room that she is going to entertain a lot. Yet she arranges it in a way she thinks looks attractive with out bothering at all to see that the chairs are grouped together for conversation. She doesn't seem to care whether tables hold ing lamps and ash trays are close to every chair, or whether chairs are upholstered In dur able enough material so that a guest isn't uneasy all evening for tear ne might drop an ash on a cream-colored satin chair. PLAYING HOSTESS IS ' "ONLY A GAME" Then, too, there is the hostess who prides herself on playing wnaiever game "they" are play ing, or entertaining in whatever way is fashionable at the mo ment. Even if her friends are the kind of people who. would rather sit in the living room and talk than learn a new game or be dragged' to the basement to pitch horseshoes they do what tneir hostess has planned for them to do. . . . i - ' None of these women has the knack of making guests comfort able and happy. But all 'these women think they are good 'host esses, since they give exactly the Kina oi parties they want to give. - ' A really, good hostess is one who offers i the kind; of food and entertainment that appeals wj cacn individual guest, instead of entertaining Just to - please herself. . - . - U.
