From Salem:
Increases in the per capita in
come level in Oregon may cost
the stale up to $850,000 in federal
welfare funds over the next two
years. Public Welfare Administra
tor Andrew Juras said Friday. Ju
ras made the announcement at a
meeting of the State Public Wel
fare Commission here.
The announcement was not wel
come news to the Hatfield admin
istration. The proposed public wel
fare budget will have to be recom
puted to make up for the loss in
federal funds, Juras explained.
Personally, I think that is stat
ed wrongly.
What is happening is that in
comes in Oregon are RISING.
That is GOOD news, not BAD
news. What we should say is that
INCREASES in the income level
in Oregon may make it unneces
sary for our state to HAVE TO
ACCEPT $850,000 in federal wel
fare funds over the next two
years.
Let's look at the doughnut
not at the hole.
Consider this item from the Ore
gon Blue Bock:
Oregon's (present) motto is
"The Union."
"Alias Volat Propriis" (She
Flies with Her Own Wings' was
the Oregon territorial motto and
was generally accepted as the
stale motto for many years, but
was NEVER adopted by the slate
government.
"The Union" appears on the
slate seal and is accepted by most
authorities as the state motto, a!
though the law has never desig
nated it as such.
A suggestion:
Why not put on the ballot at
the next general election a meas
ure proposing that Oregon formal
ly adopts SHE FLIES WITH HER
OWN WINGS as the stale molto?
This w r i t e r has confidence
enough in the sturdy independence
of the REAL people of Oregon to
believe that such a measure would
be approved by an overwhelming
majority.
More Oregon census news
The Oregon Health Board said
this morning that Oregon has re
corded fewer births and more
deaths this vear than last year.
In a preliminary year-end re
port, the board said births, mar
riages and divorces have all
dropped, but deaths have In
creased about 2.6 per cent. There
were an estimated 10.872 mar
riages and 5.800 divorces in 19H2
a two to one ratio consistcnt'w ith
the past five years.
But-
Preliminary figuies put birthsj
at 37.406 and deaths at 17.273 a
favorable ratio of little belter
than TWO to ONE in the way of
births over deaths.
That ought to provide us with
about as much population increase
as we can lake care of adequate
ly in the years immediately
ahead.
A word of advice:
Oregon is ALL RIGHT.
Don't sell her short.

LONDON (UPIi Britain's worst
winter storm in 15 years brought
the nation to a New Year's Eve
standstill today.
More snow was expected today,
although a slight thaw threatened
floods in some areas. Highway of
ficials, surveying drifts whipped
up by 88-mile-pcr-hour winds, pre
dicted, "It's going lo be a grim
New Year's Eve."
Snow, ice and winds struck the
rest of Europe, pushing the toll
in the eight-day freeze-up to 562
persons killed by auto accidents
drownings, asphyxiations and
and freezing.
France led with 175 deaths, fol
lowed by Britain with 148, Ger
many with 66, Italy with 57 and
Holland with 41.
For Britain, which spends most
of Hie year in mild if somewhat
disagreeable weather, the effect
of the 20-fool snow drifts and gale
force w inds was paralyzing.
Roads were only partially
cleared. Suburban trains ran skel
eton services at best.
London Airport was shut down
tight and the trustworthy South
ern Region Railway, which serv
ices the south suburban area of
London, collapsed completely Sun
day night for the first time in
years when drifts blocked main
routes.
Rail Union
Fights Move
The Brotherhood of Railroad
Trainmen will fight any effort
to reduce the size of crews on
trains in Oregon, Jerry Rulledge.
state legislative representative
for the union, said today.
The manager of the Oregon
Railroad Association. Luman G.
Miller of Portland, said earlier
his organization will ask the 19B3
Legislature to repeal a require
ment for a Ihird brakeman on
train crews. The requirement is
part of the stale's minimum crew
law.
Rutledgc said the need for the
1914 law is greater than ever.
"Trains are longer now than
they were then and they travel
at speeds up to three times as
fast." Rutlcdce said. "The public
safely demands a minimum num
ber of men to properly operate
and control a train, particularly
in the terrain typical of the slate
of Oregon."

BANGOR. Maine (UPI'-A sur
prise blizzard, the worst of the
century in this section, trapped
thousands ol persons today in
northern Maine and New Hamp

tops. The snow, whipped to a face
cutting fury by winds up to 75
miles an hour, buried cars and

communities.
Power was knocked out in
many areas. Hundreds of families

At least two deaths were attrib

snow and flurries in some
areas before the blizzard hit.
There were at least 13 weather
