SUNSHINE— THE YEAR AROUND
I^ate November sees bleak winter in less fortunate
places but here November weather is like summer. At
night and morning, the air may be a bit frosty but day
after day has remained waini and comfortable. W e can
safely say that sunshine will continue, if not every day at
frequent intervals throughout the winter months.
W e don’t often speak of our sunshine. They do that in
California and Florida, where they place values of mil
lions of dollars upon the friendliness of Old Sol. And at
that, he has a mischievous trick o f hiding his face behind

Our Purpose
A 12-month license may be purchas
ed for $5 for private passenger cars to
be registered for the year 1934, the
new rate being the lowest enjoyed by
car owners for many yars. A return to
the earlier plan of registering motor
vehicles on a calendar-year basis brings
a renewal season twice
within the
twelve months, as well as restoring
Oregon to a schedule similar with other
states.

To escape the tax debacle there seems to exist a mass
