That always has been a big question on the plains of Europe. Until the present, Americans have not given it much thought. To our civilian population, war is remote. The question has been forced upon us by technol ogical advances. Six or seven years ago European and Japanese cities were flattened by T N T and incendiary bombs, before the A-bomb was perfected. Probably more persons lost their lives by fire at Tokyo in a six- hour period than at any time in history. We have a heritage from the old world we had not contemplated. Europeans learned about civilian de fense the hard way. While there is time, we must heed the lesson that has been handed down to us, by giving serious consideration to the defense of ourselves and others and studying the rules that w ill protect us in the case of an atomic bomb attack. THE M E AN IN G OF COURTESY Courtesy just doesn't mean what some people think it does, or perhaps some of the wise guys have de cided again that Webster is wrong. A very nice sign reading, “ The Courtesy o f the Road Is Yours", had been painted on the rear of a truck that appeared in Nyssa last week. The truck driver, traveling south on Second street, made a left turn onto Main street. The truck remained almost entirely on the left side of the yellow line until reaching the middle of the block and then the operator drove the remainder of the way to the underpass with the wheels of the machine on tli# yellow line.

A "piece" o f Abernethy money Is displayed In the panel on commerce and banking. T o meet the need for some form of exchange. George Abernethy. who served as first pro visional governor In the Oregon country, took a small stone and pasted on It a piece of paper with words "Abernethy-change 35 cts.” Two beaver coins, currently valu ed at $10,000, are exhibited in a specially constructed safe. The dies and molds used in making the "Beaver money” are also on dis play. Early in 1849. eight prominent citisens formed the Oregon Ex change company and began minting five and ten-dollar gold coins to meet the problem of what to use for money. Although about 6.000 flve-dollar coins and 2,850 ten-dol- lar coins were minted, few of these early pieces are in existence today. Their rarity in explained by the fact that they actually contained more gold than their face value and were bought up and shipped to California where they were melted into 50-dollar gold slugs Also Included in the Oregon his torical caravan are many old photo graphs and lithographs, early im plements. trade items, famous let ters and other documents.
