The above poster was designed
for the 28th nation-wide observ­
ance of Children’s Book Week by
the distinguished Illustrators of
children’s books, Ingri and Edgar
Parin D'Aulaire. It is now on dis­
play in thousands of schools, libra­
ries, bookstores and civic welfare
centers to announce the opening of
Book Week—November 16-22.
The Children’s Book Council at
62 West 45th Street, New York
City, by whom this poster is dis­
tributed, tells us that at least
eleven million American boys and
girls today are without library
service or access to reading of any
kind other than text books. These
children live for the most part in
rural areas and the conditions are
to be found in varying degrees in
nearly every state in the union.
The Council, which is a public
Information center for and about
children’s books, adds that they
have initiated a national Book
Week project, cooperating with the
Save the Children Federation and
the Treasure Chest Campaign, two
of the Council’s twenty-nine co­
operating organizations. It is
hoped that more fortunate com­
munities will join in the Treasure
Chests U.S.A, project to donate
Treasure Chests of children's
books to rural schools in the
United States (25,000 Treasure
Chest books have already been
donated for children overseas).
Law Cited on
Burning Material
Throwing lighted material away
upon any land in the state of
Oregon during the closed season,
whether it is forest or field, urban
or suburban, is unlawful, accord­
ing to an opinion issued recently
by the office of the attorney gen­
eral. The opinion was written by
E. G. Foxley, attorney assigned to
the state forestry department, in
collaboration with Rex Kimmel,
assistant attorney general.
This recent opinion modifies a
previous opinion which questioned
the authority of the act in in­
stances covering alleged violations
outside forested areas. The ques­
tion arose when an opinion was
requested covering the question of
prosecuting an individual who had
tossed lighted firecrackers on the
streets of Corvallis. The original
reply indicated that the act did
not apply.
In the later opinion the attorneys
point out that while the act
states that is is unlawful, during
the closed season, to throw lighted
material on “forest land, private
road, public highways or rail­
road right of way", and limits it
to the above areas, this portion
of the act must be considered in
respect to the entire provisions of
the act. If there are limitations
these must be found within the
entire act.
The opinion quotes that por­
tions of the protection code which
make it unlawful to set on fire
"any forest land, grain, grass or
atnbble, either his own or the
property of another ....”, and
also quotes further that “anyone
•who unlawfully sets on fire, or
causes to be set on fire, any forest
land, grass, grain or stubble or
other material being or growing
on any lands within this state" is
tu;lty of a misdemeanor.
These citations, the attorneys
hold, clearly indicates that the
legislature fully recognized the
clanger of fire regardless of the
place where it may be started or
med and did not intend that it
restrict the effective operation of
the act It also pointed out that
• definite hazard existed to forests
from fires in outside areas and
this cannot be measured by dis­
tance.
In view of the above the at­
torney general held that the “act
is not limited or restricted in its
scope or magnitude and any of­
fense committed thereunder any­
where within the territorial limits
of the State of Oregon would be
clearly in violation of the act.”
•
Though operations were retard­
ed througoat the war. a gold mine
at Yellowknife, Canada, inside the
Artcic Circle* and 600 miles from
a railroad, has produced more than
$13,000,000 of ore since 1938.
