Teacher Pay Hike Bill Enters Legislature Today By PAUL W. HARVEY JR. SALEM, Jon. 28 (AP) The drive by organized school teachers for better pay reached the legislature today when the house education committee introduced the Oregon Educa tion association's bill to provide a $2400 minimum salary for teachers; or double the present $1200 minimum. Committee members, however, were skeptical whether the legislature would go for the $2400, but they thought the $1200 minimum might be increased by around $600. They said many school districts would fight the $2400 minimum on grounds their budgets wouldn't stand it. The Oregon Education association says that unless teach ers' salaries are boosted considerably, Oregon teachers will go to Washington and California, which have $2400 mini mums. . Multnomah county educators advised their legislative dele gation they don't like the bill to distribute the $16,000,000 onnuol basic state school suoDort fund because it would give Multnomah county only $2,700,000 a year. They think they ought to have $4,UUU,UUU, SO hold a hearing on the Dm inurs- day afternoon. Th lecislative Interim com mittee on prisoners, jails and state institutions had severe crit icism of those institutions in its final report, but said the evils could be cured by more funds and more public awareness of the problems. The committee said the state institutions are "over-crowded, 111 -equipped and under-financed," and that county and city jails "suffer from age, pov erty and inefficiency." It said children in state in stitutions are "shamefully neg lected," and said-, the net result of tile serious conditions at all the institutions is added cost to the taxpayer Decause oi me iau ure to rehabilitate the inmates. Moving the state penitentiary and building an institution ior delinquent women were recom mended. The senate labor and indus tries committee voted to intro duce six bills for the state un employment compensation com mission. One would eliminate charges against employers' ex perience rating accounts in cases where employes quit without cause, are fired for misconduct or refuse to take other employ ment after a layoff. Yet Roads Cause Wrecks Oregon's Traffic Accident Facts for last year shows that 30 per cent of this state's road mishaps occurred on wet, snowy, and icy road surfaces, according to Secretary of State Robert S. Farrell, Jr. "In several typical snow belt states nearly 65 per cent of all December, January and Feb ruary wrecks occurred on snow tovered or ice-coated surfaces," FarreH said. In Oregon the number of deaths per miles traveled was double in February as compared to the June figure last year. The tendency for winter risks to far exceed those of summer months has persisted over a period of years. Major winter hazards are inadequate traction and reduced visibility. . "When starting out on a non dry surface, get the 'feel' of the road by trying your- brakes while driving slowly and when no other vehicles are near," Far rell advised. "Even when roads may appear to be clear, remem ber that bridges or shaded sec tions may present icy patches." The practice of starting win ter auto trips early to allow plenty of time was heartily rec ommended. Car Shortage End Speeds Lumber Sale' EUGENE, Jan. 28 (JP) The lumber stacks, piled for months on loading platforms of this re- gion's sawmills, are beginning to decline at last. . The easing of the freight car shortage has enabled more lum ber to be shipped. Other contrib uting factors are the resumption of water shipping from Coos Bay, tied up for months last year by a jurisdictional dispute, and the usual cold-weather decline in logging.

Danish Boyle's Column Shoe Salesman From War Inspired Dreams NEW YORK. Jan. 28 W He got so he came every night that tiger. He came in my dreams before dawn. I would be snoring away and all of a sudden there would be a great gold and black striped Bengal tiger crouched on the foot of my bed. He was A beautiful tiger with a terrible smile and a great slow ly switching tail. The first time he came I just lay there silently, fearful that he would catapult in a feartui arc with me at the end. But the tiger never left his haunches. He yawned with that incred ibly smug self-satisfied yawn of the cat family, a delirious con tentment of the muscles. Fas cinated, I watched the stiff bristled black lips part like waves to disclose the red fur nace of his mouth. The teeth looked big as flagpoles, or like white stalagmites and stalactites in a firelit crimson cave. I tried with my gaze to seize and hold his fiery eyes black pools in an amber wrapper. He looked indifferently away. Kittenish Attention Then, through some unfortun ate reflex, the big toe of my right foot wiggled. He turned to it with the quick attention of a kitten. He stretched out a fabulous paw and I awoke, perspiring like a tram window on a frigid day. I told my wife about it the next morning. "Quit eating peanuts before going to bed," she said. But that tiger wasn't peanuts. He came again a few nights later. This time he grabbed my right foot in both paws, put his great mouth around it and I woke up with my wife shaking me and asking why I was mum bling "help! help! help!"

I felt no pain, but I couldn't stand the thought of a tiger chewing on me. And my wife each time woke me up before the tiger even got away with iny toes. "What's eating you anyway?" she would say crossly. It was that tiger. My wife be-, gan to think I must have some thing on my conscience. I rend drugstore dreambooks and Freud and Jung and all the other Mar co Polos of the sleep world. Case Studies They had some wonderful case studies of dreams and some even more wonderful interpre tations of them. I never came across anyone, however, who had complained of a tiger gnaw ing his toes. The dreambooks suggested that such nightmares reflect a feeling of guilt or insecurity. But I never have robbed an orphan or knuckled my mother or wife. And I am eating three meals a day. What did I have to worry about that would dream up a bedside tiger every night? The other day I went to the store and bought a new pair of shoes. I had been wearing a pair left over from before the war. for coffee! Sales & Service MOTSIE'S Stukel Warehouse MOTOll CO.
