But there isn't cause to w01ry with career men ready t !t ' Into each vacancy. Br PALL W. HARVKV JR. SALEM ii The team of en gineers that has built Oregon's highway system Is beginning to break up. The top men of the department, who can remember when most of the state's roads were deep In mud and dirt, are almost ready for re tirement. Their service with the Highway Commission ranges from 36 to 40 years each. During that time, they have won the highest national hon ors and recognition. When you think about that long service, you will, realize how re markable It Is. While the highway personnel of many states changes with almost every new political administration, it hasn't happened In Oregon. There never has been politics in Three KF Teachers To Attend Music Meet Three teachers from the Klam ath Falls public schools will attend the annual Oregon Music Educa tors Association meeting to be held at Albany, Oregon Friday and Sat urday, October 21 and 23.

Ihe Oregon Highway Commission. The top engineers stay on the Job through every change of adminis tration. The reason for that Oregon has developed a long tradition that pol iticians must keep their hands off the Highway Department. Five of the highest men In the department are past or near re tirement age. Some of them will slay on their Jobs for a while, but they won't be around too much longer. The men who will replace them also are close to the retire ment -age of 65. The first to go will be H. O. Smith, construction engineer. He will retire in only 11 more days. Smith joined the department in 1019 as a locating engineer. He rc.se steadily until 193?, when' he was appointed to be in charge of all construction. In 1932, his construction budget was 4 million dollars a year. Now it's 35 millions. He is one of Oregon's best his torians, his chief hobby being col lection of bits of history. Taking Smith's place will be For re.it Cooper, who joined- the depart ment in 1922. and who has been Smith's chief assistant for almost three years. State highway engineer R. H. Baldock. now one year past retire ment age, probably will be turning over his reins in another year or so t) W. C. Williams, deputy chief er.iineer. Baldock started working for the commission in 1915, and became chief engineer in 1932. In that pe riod, he has been recognized as one of America's leading highway builders. He has been president of Ihe Americsn Assn. of State High way Officials, and now is on its executive board. He is the spokesman for all the states in geUins road appropria tions from Congress. His name is Robert Hugh Bal dock. but everybody knows him as Sam. Williams has been with the com mission since 1920, and bacame as sistant chief engineer in 1947. He's been a construction msn, all his life. Beinr; 59 years old. he Isn't very far from retirement, either. Another member of the ' high command is Herbert Glaisyer, commission secretary. Like Bal dock, he's a year past retirement aae. Glaisyer has been wilh the department since 1919, and secre tary since 1931. Chief maintenance engineer E. A. Culler, a veteran of 36 years win hfl.s held his present job since 1911, is over retirement age, too. So is W. W. Stiffler, first assist ant chief engineer. He Is a 34-year veteran, and has been in his pres ent Job since 1947. The second assistant chief en gineer, G. S. Pacson. for many years head of the bridge depart ment, will reach retirement age in two years. He's worked for the department 36 fycars. So the 'old order is due for a quick, change. In a way, It's bad for it to happen soon. In the next few years, with fed eral help, road construction will proceed at a pace that will make A QUALITY SCRftN A LOW, LOW PRICE Th'i beaded screfn 8"f lou pictuifs'wtth mor depth and sharp ies Buy now ond 40x40 SCREEN II 95 NO MONEY DOWN ?5 WEEK Has The Fast F2.S Lens Moke color movies inr xprnjivply t easily Mh this deluxe 8mm rolli.tlm.
