Along with them, but to well hid den on the far tide of the car that 1 didn't tee him was Jim 0 Dona hue, probably the best known friend of the birds in our country. Few dayt ago I received a note from Tom to the effect that they picked up three crippled swans, all of which tubsequently died, and taw several more they were unable to recover. They also ran into quite a number of geese that "were just able to become airborne and which may live it out if the mild weather continues." Tom blames the biggest percent age of the crippled geese on bar rel stretchers who were shooting when they had no business to be due to the extreme range. I might also mention that when I found the boys, or rather when they found me, I was parked on a little side road flanking the state line and right at the edge of the bird grounds. I saw the green Jeep alow down as it approached and found out later that they were pret ty sure they had a poacher, or at least a potential one, spotted. Bob told me yesterday that seeing pick ups parked in auspicious places like that obscure little path always alerts the men who guard our gamewayi. Not long ago a meeting was held In Salem regarding the lack of rest rooms along the newly completed Baklock Freeway between Salem and Portland. Some people are pretty well convinced that the lack of facilities along this speed way may be leading to a lot of undue fast driving. At least a lot of people are using that as an ex cuse when they are picked up for exceeding the limit. Be that as it may the excuse is dog-eared old one that has been a favorite, and usually unsuccess ful, one lor a great many years. But for the life of me I can't tee why anyone would, or could, exceed the speed limit. It is set at 70 miles per hour and I find that I usually have trouble main taining that speed for the whole length of the drive. Boredom in some people may lead to excessive speed, or perhaps it it that a lot of the speeders are driving cars with several times the horsepower of my (horseless) carriage. At any rate, I seriously doubt if the rest room lack Is going to prove a ma jor hazard. All of which leads me to remark that over in Tillamook the National Safeliscope Corporation is produc- ing what they call the Hindsight Safetl - Scope, a gadget like a pert scope that sits on top of the car and allows you a full view of where you have just been. The gadget is set in a plastic bubble atop your car, consists of two periscope mirrors on top and which, by looking into two corre sponding mirrors just to the left of the normal rear view mirror al lows one an unrestricted view of the rear. Said to give a full view of all behind up to and even ahead of the rear bumper. It's a wonderful world we live in, isn't it? for a few hours work. But he was gored and died in Spain. Carlos Arruza was the next spark. He was a Mexican, and a great matador. He ranked, in the minds of many, with Manolete. His peak overlapped Manolete and Luis Miguel Dominguin in world popularity. But Mexico was now baseball mad and American ityle football was introduced, packing the stadiums. Then Ar ruza retired and Dominguin was banned from Mexico for insulting officials after a controversial fight in the plaza. There are few outstanding mata- dors today. The Plaza Mexico largest bull ring in the world has been closed for over a year bv strike and rings in smaller cities have operated only spas- modically. Sometimes they don t have fights once a month. So until another Gaona, Mano lete or Arruza comes along Uie fans probably will settle for a hot baseball game, a world title prize fight or an international soccer match. But once a new bullring idol appears watch them flock back to the arena 1 or qualify for a better paying job. don Times willing as they al- Capitol News By JAMES D. OLSON Meetings of the State Board of Control likely will be very much enlivened during the next few months with many vote-appealing speeches because all three mem bers are active candidates for gov ernor. Mark Hatfield, whose expected announcement to run came last month, will be pitted against State Treasurer Sig Unander for the Re publican gubernatorial nomination. Governor Robert D. Holmes Is a candidate, even though he has made no formal announcement other than to tell newsmen last spring that he would seek reelec tion. However, he has appointed a finance committee to raise hit cam paign expenses and will probably make hit announcement when he files. Pitted against the governor is former State Senator Lew Wal' lace and Wiley Smith, Multnomah County assessor. From all indications the primary campaign, to far as the governor's race it concerned, will be spectac- ular, and will vie with the con gressional races in interest. March 7 Is the final day for filing. There is need for more post-high school area vocational schools in Oregon, according to 0. I. Paul son, state director. One is now lo ca'ed in Eugene and another in Oregon City. Day time classes are provided for selected juniors and seniors in the area to attend one half day while still in high school and adult classes in the evening. Director Paulson points out that there is a large segment of high school students who do not go on to college and to these the voca tional classes are dedicated. Stu dents who complete the prescribed courses can find remunerative em ployment. Of a total of 217 vocational cen- ters during the last biennium 89 had classes in vocational agricul ture, 26 in veteran on-farm train ing; 16 in distributive education; 64 in vocational homemaking in high schools, 82 in adult homemak ing; 48 in trade and industrial education, some of which are re gional in scope and 174 in prac tical nursing. The department also supervises Oregon Technical Institute which has an average of 1,000 students in training. Recently the State Board of Ed ucation authorized a state-wide sur vey to "study the present needs and facilities of vocational-technical education in Oregon." This survey is currently being directed by Dr. W. R. Flesher from Ohio and the results of the survey will undoubtedly play an important part in the future of vocational training in Oregon. The report is scheduled to be completed this coming fall. Ilullflghiliiit By JACK HUTLF.DGE MEXICO CITV, (jn-Bullfighling is at a low ebb in Mexico. Tourists are about the only ones who get very excited about what's going on in the bull rings nowadays Experts blame the situation mainly on lack of real talent among the matadors, and the poor quality of the bulls themselves. But there are other factors: Mexico has some top-notch prize-fighters now who receive the adulation once reserved for the matadors; and it has baseball, soccer. Amer ican football, jai alai, and other sports. Back in the 1920s bullfighting was the major sport. It was week-long topic of conversation. It got so bad the government banned bullfight talk by employes while on the job. But the great Itudollo Gaona re tired and interest sagged. With the master gone, bullfighting just wasn't the tame. A youngster named Armillita came along and fans caught fire again. But during his period of popularity prizefight ing gained in favor, football be came a major sport, and there were more and more movies to lure the scarce pesos away from the bullring. The alltime great Manolete, Spaniard, brought bullfighting back to its almost fanatic enthus iasm in the 1940s. He fought often In Mexico, where he was paid as Virtually 30,000 studonts are en rolled in vocational education class es at the present time. There are four types of services rendered through local school districts, un der the direction of the State Di vision of Vocational Education. They include in-school program for high school students, past-high school classes, apprentice related training and evening classes for adults. There are 10,752 students in day classes and 19,007 enrolled in eve ning classes. 1 Vocational education it a cooper ative effort between the federal government, the state, and local school districts. Fundi are appro priated under the federal Smith- Hughes and the George-Borden acts. These funds must be matched by either the state of Oregon or local school districts or a combina tion of both. High school and post-high school classes are designed for persons wishing to qualify for beginning employment and the evening school program is set up for those em ployed persons who wish to im prove their efficiency on the job Registered voters will receive an Oregon elections manual which is one of five manuals just printed for Secretary of State Mark Hat field to replace a large volume of Oregon election laws, formerly is sued. In addition to the voters man uals there will be separate man uals for election boards, the coun ty clerks in the state, another for sponsors of initiative and referen dum measures and finally one for candidates and political parties Information in each of the man uals it confined to that required by the various segments of the state's population, together with excerpts of Oregon's election code which also directly relate to the specific group to which the manu al is addressed. Distribution of the voters' man ual will be through the county clerks of the state. Freeman Hoi- mer, state supervisor of elections will ship the manuals directly to the county clerks within the next week, he has announced. Every registered voter should receive one. ways are to cast light into dark places have taken up the ques tion of what has become of the fine old name. For me, at least, this is an im portant personal matter. If Thom as and its inevitable diminutive Tom are going to die out all to gether in time, I would like to get the word now If we knew, it would give all us surviving Toms a sort of melan choly glamor like being one of the last of the Mohicans. J. W. Leaver started The Times' correspondence with a letter list ing the most frequent Christian names given children whose birth or adoption was announced in the newspaper during 1957, Among the boys John headed the list as it did in 1936. It was fol lowed by David, James, Charles Richard, William, Christopher and so on but Thomas was nowhere in sight. Ernest Barker presumably a friendly neutral since he is not one of us subsequently wrote that the great days for Thomas came before the middle of the sixteenth century. It was one of England's leading names soon after Archbishop Thomas a Becket was murdered in Canterbury Cathedral in 1170. Barker suggested "The name Thomas came in with the Norman Conquest (10G6) flourished after the martyrdom of Becket and faded with the Refor motion. According to his theory the name has a medieval ring many modern ears. Name a kid Thomas, then, and his friends will wonder where he left his sword and prancing charger. Presumably the falling off in the name is about the same on both sides of the Atlantic even though Americans have Thomas Jeffer son, one of the great founding fathers, and the English have Sir Thomas More, lord chancellor, scholar, author and wit who was executed in 1535. Thomas Bodkin, a true member of this vague fraternity of Toms, showed how things have gone re cently in this letter to The Times': "The name Thomas has usually been borne by some member of my own family since the Bodkins took their place among the twelve tribes of Galway in the twelfth century. If I am asked why 1 have failed to maintain this tradi tion I can only reply that my wife demurred to having any of our five daughters christened Thorn asina, and I hoped until it was too late that they might have had a brother. "All five are now the mothers of sons, not one of whom is a Thomas.

Aren't you sometimes surprised, as I am, that you so seldom meet another person with the same name? Go to any cocktail party and you run into three or four Bobs and as many Bills, but how often do you 'more relaxed see another Tom.' After all it's an ancient name the name of one of the Apostles. Every language in Christendom has its form of the name. But do people in the English speaking world call any of their boy children Tom any more?
