There are five difficult problems centering in the area where High street meets the new Pacific highway route across town: 1.

New County Bridge. old Ferry street bridge is unsafe; your county court by foresight and thrift has acquired rightof-way for a new bridge and at the primary the next May will ask voters to approve levy necessary to build it with CASH. 2. Grade Crossing. If the county is to spend possibly $300,000 for a bridge adequate to carry the.

huge traffic developing with rapid population increase across river on top of Cannery tonnage, obviously the High street grade crossing (the last major crossing on the east side) must be eliminated, but the crossing is in the city's bailiwick (although considerable federal aid is customary on this work). 3. Cannery Traffic. Even with bridge built and grade crossing eliminated the heavy cannery traffic must be separated from other traffic or a costly bottleneck will result (present arrangement is purely makeshift). 4.

Junction with US 99. The state has already spent close to $1,000,000 on the rebuilding of 99 between the old Broadway crossing and Judkins Point; the Sixth-Seventh routing from the city's west limit to High is also practical and money-saving, but the section between the point where Sixth-Seventh meet High and the 4-lane at Broadway crossing remains an engineer's headache. Obviously High street bridge and cannery traffic must be managed in such a way as not to gum fast movement on US 99. 5. City Parking.

A 20-year program of clearance of all buildings between Sixth and Seventh between the two lanes of the highway has been suggested as an economical way to provide municipal off -street parking (and sites for many future public facilities) and city acquisition and clearance of the block between Sixth and Seventh and Pearl and High comes into any solution of the "High street junction." So Judge Hurd and Mayor Large have asked the commission to assign its engineers to work with ours to get ONE BASIC PLAN for all time and estimates and suggestions for division of costs. Huge sums can be saved taxpayers by finding these answers NOW50 that what the county does or the state does or the city does will not get in the way of what the other fellows have to do in meeting their part of the problem. Nothing can be constructed, of course, till war is over, but plans and specifications should be ready, and if possible land acquired and the construction money laid by. This is hard-headed. GETTING IN LANE CROPS 'As was pointed out by County Agent O.

S. Fletcher at Tuesday's conference on farm harvest problems in this area: used to be just the farmer's hard luck it he couldn't get his crop harvested is now hard luck for all of us." Milk supply is where this community is going to feel the first real pinch of the "food shortage" which has become a national headache. Last year's hay and grain crops in this area were not good. Last winter was severe. All stocks of forage for cows, sheep and other animals were used up.

There is no carryover. This year's crop of hay is now ripe or ripening. The farmers need help. They will pay going wage to the city man (or his ablebodied wife, son or daughter) who will help. Register now with H.

V. Johnson's committee or the U. S. Employment service. Later will come the problems of getting in the fruits and vegetables and hops and other crops for which this valley is famous.

Three or four years ago Eugene and Lane county set the pattern which Salem took up (and harvested the publicity). We can do it again. This shortage in milk supply was predicted months ago. We hope it satisfies those economists sent in here by OPA who refused to grant dairy farmers any relief to meet costs which had gone out through the roof. No doubt milk rationing will be established if the shortage becomes very acute, and that is the only fair plan to distribute evenly whatever milk is available.

But, we wish again to point out the fundamental fallacy of OPA "Rationing may conserve and distribute supply, but rationing does not add a drop to production, The only way to get increased production is to make it possible to keep more cows and produce." We heard a business, man say that he wants to help in the fields, but "darned if he'll feel right to take any money for it." That's a laudable spirit. At the same time, our farmers, most of 'em don't want charity labor. They want hard work and are willing to pay for it. However, if farmer pay burns either the pockets or the conscience of any city man, there are plenty of good "causes" to which put it. How about asking Fred Stickels, to put it in a fund for some of this post-war planning work that is coming up? living cost is affecting men's stylesare being worn much flatter.

WASHINGTON LETTER By PAUL DUNHAM WASHINGTON, D. June 17-HUGE as the expenditures of army and navy necessarily must be in the prosecution of the war they do not compare, aside from payrolls, with the total spent by eight civil branches of the government in non-military activities, according to. the report of the joint committee on nonessential federal expenditures placed before the senate a few days ago. For telephone, telegraph and cable tolls alone, from July 1, 1942 to Jan. 1943, 0 these agencies of the federal government a total of $15,573,839.91, the report disclosed." Of this amount more than $4,000,000 went for local telephone calls in the national capital and more than $3,000,000 for long distance calls.

Largest users of the telephone and telegraph were the war production board, office of price administration, selective service and the department of agriculture, the latter leading all others in cost of local telephone service. Just why the department of agriculture should pile up local telephone calls for a total of nearly $1,000,000 a year has not been explained. But startling as are these figures, they do not compare with the $35,672,853.84 expended for travel expense in the six-months period covered by the report all of it for a non-military nature. This total does not include amounts spent by either the war or navy departments. Largest travel expense was incurred by the department of commerce, the of agriculture, the treasury department and the state department in the order named.

Of the total amount by far the largest item was that of per diem expenses, this amount running to $18,527,694. In addition to railroad and automobile transportation the several agencies made use of the airplane to the tune of $2,640,208. The committee believes that the travel and communications expenses for. most branches of the federal government "are inordinately high," and that "no group of five agencies and departfrom 45 to 61 percent of total of each of the ments of a non-military type, should comprise types of travel expenditures of the entire government." CLOAKROOM talk which went the rounds after terribe tempered Harold Ickes invoked a fine of $1 per day on coal for the five days work stoppage can't be printed. The undiplomatic "Honest" Harold proceeded in his usual fashion to throw a good sized monkey wrench in the coal dispute machinery by levying a fine on the miners, who promptly refused to pay and threatened another strike.

Honest Harold says the miners violated their contract by striking, hence the fine. The miners say their contract had expired, which it had, so how could they violate contract not in existence? Be that as it may, the Ickes dictum, coming at a time when both sides to the coal strike controversy were trying to iron out their differences, did nothing but further irritate a delicate situation. Mr. Ickes made everyone mad, and, sensators gathered in the cloakroom made air blue when they heard of the Ickes faux pas. Now Honest Harold is pulling in his horns and states the miners can escape the fine through collective bargaining with the government managers of the mines.

However, the damage has been done, and Honest Harold is in for a lambasting to' be delivered from the floor of the senate in a few days. PLYWOOD now, under WPB order, is causing northwest manufacturers considerable, concern. Several Oregon and Washington shipbuilding companies are turning out thousands of plywood lifeboats for the navy Liberty ships being built on the west coast. The WPB order places all production and distribution of plywood under its thumb. Now the lifeboat builders and scores of other manufacturers in the northwest who use millions of feet of plywood annually see a bottleneck approaching for their source of supply in the recent WPB order, which means going through red tape galore in order, to get raw materials.

though even yet not know many of my neighbors. What a strange world to be in, where one doesn't know one's neighbors! But I grew to feel I knew the people by the houses they lived in; by their yards; by the sounds of life coming from them. For instance, there is the big white house long called the Party House, for the sounds of laughter and revelry which often came from it. "Party House never got to bed until pretty late, last night," I'd tell the Man. "If they were short of plates, I could have loaned mine," added.

"The ones you got at the five-and-ten?" and his voice held a disparaging note. "The ones I got at the five-and-ten," I staunchly replied. "They look fine enough to be Wedgewood; or should the word be Chippendale?" He said the right word for those plates was neither; anyway Chippendale meant furniture with wormholes in it. I sure admire that man for all the things he knows, He said the way I enjoyed that house, I should help pay its taxes. Then there's the Rich Family; rich because of the yard of children.

Not much of a lawn in that yard, and not many flowers, unless you count, as I do, bright flouncing skirts and gay blouses as flowers. Sometimes those colorful garments bloom in rows on the clothesline. Then they reappear in the yard, swirl and dip and flit about, flower-dresses turned butterfly. Sundays, I see the mother start for church, her brood about her. Not sending, mind you, but taking.

A good psychologist, that mother, whatever her theological bent. "Does an orange card hung on a door stand for scarlet fever or measles?" I asked the Man Who Knows Everything. He said it stood for diptheria, and where had I seen that. "It's on a door here on The Street. Some they have whatever it is they have, and some days they don't, for it's not out every day." Shortly after this, unable to stand the thought of a neighbor in possible extremity any longer, I called.

Not until after I'd knocked, did I see the card had Milk printed on it. To the brisk woman who answered the door, I said would she please loan me today's paper; wanted to read Henry McLemore. Oh, I was a quick thinker that time, I tell you. Ever since, she's saved the column for me. Which goes to show you get rewarded for the good deeds you just think of doing as well as for those you do.
