Oregon school districts have re duced their debt load by $4,438, 313 in the past seven years, according to a report compiled by Rex Putnam state superintendent of public in struction. At the peak in 1928-29 these school districts had $20,495,088 in bonds outstanding. Highest point in outstanding school warrants was reached in 1936-37 when this form of indebtedness aggregated $1,463,- 612. Payments of delinquent taxes has contributed largely toward reduction of the debt load. Salaries paid to teachers in the public schools of this state were $2,500,242 less for 1936-37 than for 1929-30 but there has been a gradual increase in teachers salaries during the past two years. Oregon teachers, however, are still receiving approximately 25 per- cnt less than they were in 1929-30. —L— Attorneys for the bank night cor poration this week withdrew their suit to restrain Marion county of ficials from interfering with this popular theater attraction and as sured Assistant Attorney General Moody that they would advise their client to discontinue bank nights in all other Oregon counties. —L— Oregon patrons of horse and dog races wagered $3,735,213 on the dogs and ponies during 1937, the lucky ARMY QUOTAS SET; HAWAIIAN SERVICE OPEN My Favorite Recipes Frances Lee Barton'ears: ■ VER since I discovered the quick1 easy way to put up my own Jel-, lies and jams.

ON WHICH SIDE OF THE HIGHWAY SHOULD I WALK? Pedestrians using rural highways where no footpaths are provided are required to walk along the left hand side of the highway facing traffic. Many pedestrians have been killed in this state simply because they neglected this simple rule. * * * MAY I WALK ON THE PAVED PORTION OF THE HIGHWAY? There is no law which forbids your walking on the paved portion of the highway but you will be far safer If you walk on the graveled shoulder or foot-path wherever these are avail able. If you do walk on the paving, be sure to use the left hand side of the highway and keep a sharp look out for approaching traffic.

A lot of people think that it is all right to drive fast if they drive "careful”. But the figures show that the rate of death per accident which involves exceeding the speed limit is much worse than the average death rate for all accidents due to unproper driving practices. Places, too, have a lot to do with the violence of your accident. The rate of death per accident on highways and a t rural intersections is mors than 200 per cent greater than on city stm ts.
