How would you like to pay $12.50 for ahunting license and $12.50 for afishing license?
How about another 1 cent tax added toyour gas tax?
How about a $10 car license in 1950?
How about throwing our profits on liquorstores into the general fundof the state instead of using for relief purposes?
The above proposals are before thelegislature at the present time andstand every chance of passing unless a strong kick is registered withour representatives.
What we need is less legislation andfewer legislators. Things are in amess at Salem in more ways than one.

Our good neighbors the Ira Culvers callN.F. the "ScandalSheet." By Dingy, it ain't so--not much,anyway. Time was we panned everybody from the town marshal to RayGarland. At present people are more or less mad at one another--anddignified--and we can't evensuggest that the street committee look at a hole in the pavement of OldHighway, N. without being accused of a dire plot to getsomebody's job or something. For real scandal werefer you to issues a few years back when we reported such events asthe young village belle who went swimming in the TID ditch and camehome minus her clothes and the names of city councilmen and officialsfound on the cell walls of the town jail when we tore it down. (Thejail hadn't been used for several years at the time of itsdemolition.)
No, Culvers, N.F. ain't a scandal sheetanymore--not much anyway.

SHALL WE LET IT DIE?
Members of the P.T.A. nominatingcommittee report that they are unableto find candidates to fill offices in that organization for the comingschool year.
They state that unless they have bettersuccess and a more willingresponse it will be necessary to dissolve the P.T.A. They have askedNews Flashes to comment on the situation. We do so willingly.
For a number of years prior to thepresent reorganization Talent wasone of the few schools of the county without a Parent-Teacherorganization. We do not know why this was so. The value of a properlyfunctioning P.T.A. is obvious. It is so well thought of by the statedepartment of education that it is listed as one of the essentialdepartments of a fully standardized school. It is the only mediumthrough which teachers and parents can meet on a common ground todiscuss mutual problems. Its program is educational, both to parentsand to teachers. Both come to have a deeper, more sympatheticunderstanding of the problems involved and each gains a more tolerantrespect for the other. When the parent influence is removed from theschool something is missing that nothing can replace, be the schoolever so efficient.
Our good friends of the Wagner CreekDistrict have their Parent-TeacherClub which has functioned for the good of the school, working yearafter year, strong-established, a social force in the community. Otherschools about us accept the P.T.A. and recognize its importance. Thepresent officers, under Mrs. Jennings' leadership, have donemore than we can expect of them, considering the support we have giventhem. We have all been remiss.
The nominating committee reports that itcannot find candidates to fillthe offices for the coming school year.

Dear Editor: Can't something be done tochoke off these (letus hope) self appointed Shakespearean critics who effuse and spout inthe daily press after each performance of the Shakespeare Festival.This gushing verbosity MAKES ME TIRED. Angus Bowmer and his players areputting on a darn good show and making a lot of us forget the prejudicewe formed when we studied Shakespeare in high school. We would like tosee these silly reviews discontinued.

PRICES OF SCHOOLLUNCHES TO RISE
According to Supt. Parr the price of hotlunches in the schoolcafeteria will be raised to 15 cents per meal or 75 cents per week. Thechange in price will go into effect on Oct. 10.
The present low price of 10 cents wasestablished on a trial basis atthe opening of school. It was found that due to increased cost ofcommodities and a demand for more complete menus this amount would notcover the cost.
The cafeteria receives its support fromthree sources; the governmentpays 6 cents per meal served, the district pays the salary of the chef.Other expenses are met by the charge made for meals.

NOTICE TOPROPERTY OWNERS
During the past week inspection of oldwells [in] the town has been made.Some of these wells are dangerous and a hazard to safety.

Whitey and wife Norma took a vacation.They went over to the mouth ofRogue River. Whitey showed Norma how to fish for the big ones. Normadid. She broke several records. Whitey didn't.
Most everybody in Talent who can affordit has hied himself to the"favorite hunting ground" to be ready for the grandopening tomorrow.
Most of the "hiers" will return withtall excuses.Those who do bring home venison will bore their friends with details ofthe wonderful shot they made.
The poor buck probably was out late the night before and went to sleepleaning against a tree. The editor doesn't think much of themarksmanship of the business men of Talent.
Harry Wright of Butte Falls wenthunting. He left his wife at homebecause he said she would be in the way. While he was gone(you've guessed it), she shot a five point buck in the backyard. Harry ran out of grub and gas and had to walk home. His wife fedhim venison when he arrived.

A MESSAGE FROMCHIEF REDMON.
"Motorists must stop for school busesthat have stopped topick up or unload children within the city limits as well as in ruralareas," Chief of Police Redmon reminded today.
Chief Redmon said many drivers wereprobably unaware of the fact thatthe new school bus stopping law also applies to city streets. The law,enacted by the state legislature last spring as a safeguard forbus-riding school children, requires motors to stop when coming upbehind or passing from the opposite direction [of] a school bus that isloading or unloading passengers.
"This means that traffic from bothdirections muststop," Redmon pointed out. "Cars must remainstopped as long as any children are leaving the bus or crossing theroadway."
The only exception is traffic moving inthe opposite direction on theother side of a three- or four-lane roadway, which may pass with caution.

The dangerous age for men is when theybegin to regret the sins theydidn't commit.

THE EDITOR SPEAKS.
A friend asks: why don't you publish aprinted news paper?
If we printed a news paper it would benecessary to support it byout-of-town advertising. It would also be necessary to establish a"paid" circulation list. Both these requirementswould defeat the purpose for which NEWS FLASHES was founded.
Thousands of communities through theUnited States are served bymimeographed sheets such as ours.
With two weekly papers in our county(and two or three weakly sheets)and two dailies, there is no need of another printed paper.
When you help the merchant keep downoverhead the saving is reflectedin lower prices to you.
The merchants of Talent are doing theirbest to give the people of this trade area good service at lower prices.

ROY'SPLACE AT THE JUNCTION

Yes, Sonny, there is a Santa. He livesin the hearts of people. He is ashy old fellow and his whiskers are not always white.
Tuesday night the community, throughpopular subscription, entertainedthe Bulldogs at a real banquet. This is as it should be.
These boys, our boys, have just passedthrough an experience of greatmoment to themselves.
It is bitter enough to lose when you areat the bottom of the mob--youat least have plenty of company. But when you win yourway to the top with final victory all but in your grasp and then tolose--that is a rare and supreme bitterness, indeed.
Our team acquitted itself with credit toitself and the school. It lostas it has won and lost--without boasting and without alibi.

"OUR FIRSTCHRISTMAS ISSUE"
It was back in the dying days of 1934.Ray Schumacher owned the ThriftMarket and had established News Flashes as his advertising medium. Thepresent editor was employed to edit, print and distribute the paper. Wewere glad to do this since those were depression days and, boy, we needed themoney.
Schumacher decided at the last momentthat he needed a XMAS EDITION andit was up to us to print it. It was the 23 of December. We spent theday cutting the two stencils that made up the paper.
In the evening Ray Burnette dropped into spend the evening. HE DID!When we brought out the mimeograph he volunteered to assist. Themimeograph was an old machine. It had a top speed of about sixtyimpressions an hour--when we were lucky!
That night we were not lucky. We hadmore trouble than we have everhad, before or since. It was 2:30 A.M. before we said "30" and put 110copies of News Flashes to bed. Raystuck it out and wouldn't go home until the last sheet wasprinted. He was as proud as the editor when the job was done.
And that, our friends, is the story ofthe origin of the ChristmasEdition of News Flashes. And each year (except during war years) NewsFlashes has printed the special holiday edition for the purpose ofdrawing the merchants and the public together in a closer bond ofunderstanding and sympathy.

Violets are blossoming in our yard,according to our reporter.
