The treasurer recalled that McCall said "there will be the devil to pay" if the issue was brought up again. The people of the state don't want the beach route, Straub said, "so the pressure is coming from somewhere else." The Democrat again called for a hearing in the Willamette Valley where the majority of the residents live. He noted that a hearing was planned only for Tillamook County "where less than one per cent of the Oregon population lives." Straub said the beaches belong to all the people. "I think the time has come in Oregon for the idea that the people want beaches preserved for kids and not for cars," Straub said. der $10,000 be settled by pay-: By LILLIE L.

Dr. Henry advised them not to panic; but "if you're alive now, stop taking." Good advice. The customary advice to those seeking to cut down their weight is to do so under the guidance of a physician. It is not certain whether the assortment of pills now blamed for the deaths were being consumed under doctors' prescription or not. If so, the doctors themselves will be on notice as to their danger.

The pills with the evil potential were taken in sequence. The combination, according to Dr. Henry, depleted the potassium content of the blood. This exposed the heart to malfunction from the heavy dosage of digitalis contained in the pills, resulting, as stated, in six deaths. The modern mode favors slimness, especially among females.

To get, and to hold, a trim figure taxes the ingenuity and the will of girls and women, often badgers the doctors and opens the way for mixers of pills to capitalize on women's fashion. This report isn't the first of personal injury from wrong practice in dieting. The accompanying publicity, which flashed across the country, drew instant attention from pharmaceutical houses, the medical profession and, we presume, the consumers of diet pills. If it results in a reappraisal both of the value or harm of specific drugs and of practices employed for weight reduction and leads to safer means, benefit will flow out of the sad fate of the victims noted. pense or delay of resort weu as aown 10 modern litigation.

In days of extreme fire danger, loggers were barred from the woods.

On some days logging on "hoot owl" schedules (out of the woods by 2 p.m.) was permitted. This held down the log harvest in the season when most of it is accomplished. As a result mills face log shortages now or later on. This comes at a time when the lumber and plywood market is improving. Part of the price boost is in anticipation of possible product shortage.

But there is increased demand because of increase in house construction. In an effort to close the log gap some companies are running log crews six days a week instead of five. Gov. Mc-Call has recommended allowing log trucks to operate on Sundays. The work force and available equipment are working to capacity now, so there is little to be gained by trying to expand operations.

A while ago we were all praying for rain. We still are but not for snow. If weather conditions hold, some of the log gap can be closed. An early winter with mountain snows would put an end to logging in the high country. Voters' Choice The California Supreme Court ruled that the question of winding up the war in Vietnam, initiated by voters in San Francisco, should go on the ballot.

The city attorney had ruled the question was ineligible. The question initiated by petitions signed by over 20,000 persons, reads: "It is the policy of the people of the city and county of San Francisco that there be an immediate cease-fire and withdrawal of U.S. troops from Vietnam so that the Vietnamese people can settle their own problems." That, for once, poses a clear and definite alternative, which usually the "doves" have avoided. The vote will be local only and rate merely as an expression of opinion in that city and county. But it does give voters a chance to say whether we should continue to fight or pull out.

Insurance companies have agreed to invest a billion dollars in mortgages, the money to be used to rehabilitate housing in urban slums. While much insurance company investment has gone into city housing, it is largely in apartments for middle income, or higher, occupancy. This turn will be experimental, with continuance depending on how the investment turns out, which will mean how much abuse will the housing suffer. It is people, as well as greedy landlords, who create slums. Sikkim, the tiny country at the top of the world, is where fighting has been going on between Indians and Red Chinese.

It's hard to think that fighting in that rarefied air would become very violent.

Yet we are plunging into an era of lawlessness which can lead only to anarchy and anarchy is a destroyer of nations.

We ought to be ashamed." Another well-known Ameri-an said: "Crime is increasing with such rapidity that it is dangerous to walk the streets of almost any city in America after dark. Our city streets are turned into jungles of terror. Law enforcement agencies do not have the money or the personnel to apprehend more than a fraction of the criminals." What is ahead for our nation? A lady whose ancestors date back to colonial days lamented that thousands of our finest young men are being sent into slimy swamps of Asia. "What do we have left?" she asked. I told her: Immense institutions packed with people.

R. Fo-bert, Hubbard; Daniel Bochsler, Sins of the Times To the Editor: The world is in an awful state at present with all nations in distrust of one another, and our national leader not knowing what to do with any results. The reason is because all nation's leaders are leaving God completely out of their discussing and want to carry on in their own wisdom, including our own leaders. People are lovers of pleasure more than God. And what do the people hear from our local pulpits, just watered-down 15 minutes with no exhortation of reproof of sins committed, and many times our blessed Lord Jesus is left out.

No wonder people are not interested to attend church. Apostle Paul instructed to preach: "Be instant in season, out of season, reprove, exhort, with all longsuffering and doctrine." if men and women would preach the fear of God in the people's hearts and lives. But most churches are more interested in numbers than getting people saved these days. Only by the grace and mercies of God that this nation as well as others are not destroyed by this time with all of the wickedness in the high places of our government and people. May God have mercy on us.

Wharton Death, after the warning of a brief fflness, ended the distinguished career of Wallace S. Wharton who served county and state and nation with fidelity and distinction, in war and in peace. Called Into public duty after being well started on a career in journalism with the Oregon Journal, by Gov.

Charles H. Martin, he served successively as executive secretary and budget officer and then as member of the state tax commission. As an officer in the Naval Reserve (Intelligence) he reported for full-time duty in 1941 on the eve of the war, rising to the rank of captain. After a later turn on the tax commission he retired to private life but was called from his rural home to serve Marion County as executive secretary and budget director, an office he held until retiring in 1962. In both state and county budget assignments Wharton instituted systems for effective budget control.

Wharton was a man with a high sense of responsibility, a man of courage, diligent in the performance of his duty. Not a self-seeker, nor given to self-promotion, he gained and held the confidence of his associates and the public whom he served.

Sylvia Porter The concept of clinics to diagnose auto faults and pinpoint needed auto repairs is gaining rapidly and with reason. Oil companies, automobile dealers, tire companies and other concerns are establishing them all over the country and expert sources predict there will be hundreds of the centers in operation within the next 10 years.

The five Mobil centers are representative of the de luxe giants. Costs, length of time required for the tests and the number of tests will vary between centers, but each is basically a scientific laboratory for analysis of a car's condition and a complete repair shop. Your car is driven into a 62-foot "diagnostic bay," where two auto experts perform more than 75 tests and checks on various systems, using 23 complex analyzing devices. The tests take about 25 minutes, after which one of the auto experts will tell you what repairs your car needs and what the repairs will cost. The fee for this diagnosis is $9.50.

You may decide to have the repairs done where you wish. If you choose to have the work done at the center, the repairs will be guaranteed for 4,000 miles or 90 days (whichever comes first). The key to the service is an expert opinion which you may trust as unbiased and unpadded, because the centers are staffed by experts, they do have the best in equipment, they do charge for their analysis and they need not depend on your repair work. Here are the findings on 100,000 cars.

Because what's wrong with my car is wrong with millions of other cars the nation over today. In fact, the ailments I've pinpointed were found in more than half of 100,000 U.S. autos checked at the five "Diagnostic Centers" which Mobil Oil Corp.

maintains across the U.S. and these 100,000 represent a cross-section of the 78 million cars now on the road. This means that 38 million ears being driven this day are operating below par: they are either performing with decreasing efficiency or they have parts worn beyond the point of safety. This means that the owners of these ears are not getting their money's worth and also may be endangering lives. And this in turn means that we ourselves are responsible for at least part of our high and mounting auto repair bills.

(The axioms about an "ounce of prevention" or a "stitch in time" belong here.) Out of every $1 we spend, about cents goes for autos and related goods. Out of this 8 cents, a full 1 cent goes for auto repairs and maintenance. This translates into a yearly total of tens of millions of dollars and into a major drain on our pocketbooks.
