It doesn't need reclamation of

It DOESNT WANT IT.

I think It la aafe to say that if
crngre&a had been dominated by
the heavily populated Eastern aiatet
the wide-open spaces of the West
would still be populated largely by
JsckrabbiU and coyotes.
I RAVE such confidence in the
' sound thinking and the political
Integrity of the people of Oregon
that I believe even the heavily
populated Willamette valley will be
against this scheme as matter of
fundamental principle.
I am sure that Eastern Oregon

It We certainly don't want to be

THIS Is national fire prevention
week. It started yesterday and
will run through nest Sunday
making It another of those eight
day weeks. Tire prevention day was
first proposed by the now defunct
Fire Marshals Assoclstlon of North
America which proposed the move
to remind the public of fire losses.
This was in 1911 on the 40lh an
niversary of the great Chicago fire.
It became fire prevention week in
! 1921 by proclamation of President
' Harding.
j rtre losses in the United State
are expected to total S725.0OO 000
for 1949 which la quite a chunk
of cash. When you look at the bos
I score on fires you realise' how
dangerous little things can be.
Electric irons left plugged in cause
40 fires a. day. Smoking and
i matches caused 97.000 fires last
iyear. Defective wiring caused an
i other &3.000. Bum heating unita
'accounted for 4.4.500 and children
'plaving with matches caused 30.900
1 fires with a net loss of 98.300.000.
j 300 000 forest fires rip through
'our nation's timber every year. Of
these, 90 per cent are caused by
man. meetly through carelessness.
The most tragic fire in US his
tory from the standpoint of loss
of life were the Minnesota forest
tires of 1919 In which S59 persons
died. Most costly fire was the San
Francisco fire following the quake
in 10. 38.000 building were de
stroyed at a total loss of 9350.
000 000.
Prety expensive for a little care
lessness. IN a recent survey made by an
' eastern outfit the school of to
OTwtar m,niM ax snmethme ouite
different from the schoolhouse of
yesteryear. According to this sur
vey what eoueaiors warn ur
ideal elementary school Is a one-...-
hrirk building of functional
modern design containing 14 class
rooms plus auditorium, caieirns
and gvm. It wculd cost 9383.500.
Rooms would have individual ther
mostats for temperature control.
Blackboards would be colored In
stead of the old black and light
ing would be Indirect. Sounds good.
UERE'S another for the file of
useless Information, WIX. the
original Jet engine designed by the
British, has been presented to the
U8 and will be placed In the Smith
sonian Institute. It was a Oloater
product designed by 8ir Frank
Whittle's company and was first
used in an unofficial flight In
1941.
IT seldom falls to happen. Rainy.
' cloudy Sunday and a beautiful
Monday. Should be Just the opposite.
