Juniors Help Prevent Fires
This is National Fire Prevention week and we are
again reminded that more than 11,000 lives and a billion
dollars worth of property were claimed by fire last year.
Every week should be Fire Prevention week, for fire
is a major daily threat to our lives and property and it
is tragic that so many could be avoided by taking pre
ventive measures and knowing what to do when they
break out.
Here in Nyssa this week a group of eight to ten-year-
olds are learning lessons in fire prevention and carrying
the lessons home to parents, who in many cases are not
well informed either. They are the Junior Fire Marshals,
who during this week are organized to seek out and elim
inate fire hazards in their homes. .
Through a program sponsored by the Hartford Fire
Insurance company three million school children carry
home inspection reports for the signature of their par
ents, after the children have checked all fire hazards
listed on the inspection report. When this is turned in to
their grade school teacher they are given Junior Fire
Marshal helmets and badges.
These boys and girls are serious about fire safety and
we adults could take some lessons from them in remov
ing fire hazards in our own business places.
Measures and Amendments
With the daily newspapers and weekly magazines
carrying so much of what is being said by presidential
nominees and by their supporters, it is possible that we
are not giving due importance and proper thought to our
governments at the lower level.
Good government should be sought at the city, county
and state levels the same as on the national, and may
affect us a great deal more than who is elected president.
Costs of maintaining these are not nearly so great as on
the federal level but are increasing just as rapidly, in
many cases.
On Nov. 8 Oregon voters will be privileged to have
their say on 15 constitutional amendments and measures
and it would be well to study these thoroughly before
going to the polls. An unintelligent vote could be worse
than not voting at all.
Within the next four issues of the Journal we intend
to cover these 15 proposals briefly and express our views
as to their merits.
No. 1—Fixing Commencement of Legislators' Term—
To make legislators’ term start at same time as legislative
session.
(Under the present law their term starts the FIRST
Monday in January following their election while the
legislative session starts on the SECOND Monday in Jan
uary. It would delay their term starting ONE WEEK.
We would recommend a YES vote.)
No. 2—Daylight Saving Tim*— To establish daylight
saving time in all parts of Oregon within the Pacific
time zone from last Sunday in April until last Sunday
in September.
(We don’t believe this will affect us very much either
way but since only 14 states of the 48 in continental U. S.
have this and all except three are east of the Mississippi
river we’ll vote NO.)
No. 3—Financing Urban R»d»velopment Project»-
To permit payment of cost of urban renewal projects
from the additional tax revenues resulting from increas
ed valuation of the areas redeveloped.
(This seems only fair that as values increase through
additions and changes that the revenue from these addi
tional taxes could be used for the improvements. A YES
vote.)
No. 4—Permitting Prosecution by Information or In
dictment— To permit prosecuting attorneys to commence
criminal prosecutions by filing written charges (called
an “information") or by grand jury indictment as now
provided.
(This would permit more rapid action and would elim
inate some of the costs of a grand jury. We have seen it
work successfully in other states. YES.)

To permit the state to increase bonded indebtedness to

(Reports show housing facilities at some of our col

education and for these facilities They are self-liquid

No. 7—Voter Qualificatign Amendment -To permit
voters otherwise qualified to vote for U. S. president al

residence in the state.
(Every citizen is a citizen of the U. S. regardless of
what state he resides in and the cause is worthy. But

costs. And many states, where a person has been resi
