THURSDAY, MARCH 8, 1958 HERALD AND NEWS. KLAMATH FALLS. OREGON PAGE NINE Peoria Finds Wormy Water PEORIA. 111. m Repulsive as they my be, says a scientist, the worms found in Peoria's drinking niter merely add "a little more protein" to the diets of consumers. Residents of the eastern third of this city of 112.000 population have been complaining recently of find ing white wigglers up to three eighths of an inch in length in their tap water. Dr. Max Suter of the Illinois Water Survey said yesterday that the worms are larvae of small flies with the scientific name "chlronomous" which hatched the city's open reservoir. "They are completely harm less," said Dr. Suter.. "Stimuli. cally speaking, they just constitute a littlf more protein in the diet aud will harm no one." Officials of the Peoria Water Works Co. also said the larvae are harmless. Nonetheless, they said water pipes in the eastern section of the city are beinK flushed in an effort to get rid of the worms. There was no explanation of why the eastern section. About 150.000 persons in the entire city and suburbs are served by the same supply. Virgil M. Lambert, an insur- ance agent, said he first noticed the worms in his tap water about. two weeks ago. He found that neighbors had the same problem and notified the water company. He said company officials weren't too concerned about the situation then. The officials themselves re ported the worm infestation and their efforts to curb it yesterday alter the Peoria Journal-Star joined the complainants. Employ es of the newspaper found worms in water trom a tap in the paper's photographic darkroom. BRAKEMAK DIKS DUNSMUIR Samuel O.

Nilsen, who administers the new law regulating outdoor ad vertising, has ruled that political signs come under the law. This means that a fee of 50 1 cents to S3 will have to be paid for every sign visible from a road outside of an incorporated cily. The fees will have to be paid by Hie candidate or his campaign committee. MINIMUM CHARGE Nilsen's men are supposed to charge a minimum of S25 for every unlicensed sign that they remove. If the person who puts up the sign Is hauled into court, he can be fined up to (50. When the 1955 Legislature passed this law, It never dreamed it would apply to political signs. But Nilsen says the law clearly affects them. Nilsen will write to every can- Rummage Sale Planned In Weed WEED The Wabeno Council No. 231, Degree of Pocahontas, has started collection of rummage for a sale to be held soon.

Marshall from fire crew foreman to forestry aid and Oeoroe E. Manes to Marshall's for- ifier position were announced on Tuesday at the Mount Shasta Rang er station of the Shasta Trinity National Forest. Marshall replaces Ted Schuler at Dunsmuir who was promoted to fire control assistant last October. didate for slate or county office to warn them. Thomas C. Current, assistant to Nilsen. is trymg to enforce the signboard regulations. He says his office doesn't have any intention of arresting every candidate who lias an unauthorized or unlicensed sign. The reason is that it couldn't be done. Nilsen's department is hav ing enough trouble enlorcing the law now. That'a because the Leg islature didn't appropriate any money for enforcement of the law. Consequently, enforcement now is being done as a part-time ac tivity of Labor Department men who are assigned to other jobs, such as making electrical inspec tions. Nilsen is going to ask the Slate Emergency Board for permission to spend the sign license fees for enforcement. THE LAW Generally, the law says that signboards must be 300 to 1,000 feet apart, depending on the size of the signs and the type of road Annual tees of 50 cents to $3 must be paid for each sign, and outdoor advertising companies pay an ad ditional yearly fee of $25 to $100. So far. 2.100 signs owned by out door advertising companies have been licensed, and only 705 mm vidually owned slans. The deadline for licensing was Feb. 1, but Current thinks thai hundreds of signs remain ua licensed. For example, in the 21-mile DR. J. W.

Office Ph. 2-1131 - Res. 2-0182 O Newspaper SPOT ADS are inexpensive repealed dally, 79o stretch between Hubbard and Sa lem on Highway 9SE, Current counted 91 unlicensed signs the other day. Fifteen signs already have been licensed on the Portland-Saleni Expressway. Those signs that cover the whole side of a barn arc a problem. Cur- rent says these come under the law. Rut what should he do about It if the farmer refuses to take out a license? Current could either tear the barn down or repaint It, but either method Is conslocreci too drastic. SOME HARDSHIPS Current says the law works some hardships. He told about a woman who has run a melon stand on an Eastern Oregon highway for years. She has had her big signs in the sagebrush alcng the highway. She can't get her signs licensed until she gets permission of the owner of the land. She can't ftnd out who owns that sagebrush, so she can't put up any signs this year. "The key thing right now," Cur rent savs, "Is to let the politicians know about the law so they won't be embarrassed politically or fi nancially. II we have to pull down some signs, we'll be accused of po litical favoritism, and we want to avoid that. "Another point to remember is that no sign can be licensed unless the property owner gives written permission." OSBURN HOTEL EUGENE, OR. Thoroughly Modern , Uri. J. I.
