These treasurers o f the past reckoned the figures were too easily missunderstood and started legislative raids on the state. State Treasurer Leslie M. Scott is not of that belief. He has murnished a st atement of money on hand which .entains some all-time high totals.

N A V Y D A Y OBSERVANCE U R GED Governor Earl Snell has urged the observance of October 27 as the annual Navy day in celebration of triumphs o f the fighting American fleet and in particular tribute to the men of the navy from Oregon. "Navy day this year will celebrate spectacular achievements in the Pacific and Atlantic,” said the gov ernor. “ The day, as well, will emp hasize the growing conviction that a strong navy is one of the most dependable guarantees in thé pro tection of freedom.” Navy dinners and luncheons are being arranged in many commun ities and others are planning pro grams and parades. The date marks the anniversary of the presentation of the bill for creation of an indep endent navy to the Continental congress in 1176. It also is the 86th anniversary of the birth of Thea- dore Roosevelt, widely credited with being the father of the modern American navy, now the most pow erful in the world.
