Changes will be made ■ fro nitime to time and if the ordinance does 'not fit the need or help 1 the cause, it will be amended to meet conditions, he said. Merchants and others who have cars to park are urged to use the ' free parking lot on First street, ’ east of the Madison steet intersection. The mayor pointed cut that one of the needs of the city was to ’ obtain more parking lots in proximity to the court house and business section. He suggested that the ’territory east of First street along the river bank be acquired and that a public parking lot b> established through the combined effort of merchants, Chamber of Commerce and the City government. Tiie present free parking lots 'were established by the present city administration in cooperation with the Chamber of Commerce. WEST COAST IS !

Dec. 28. i(U.R) Storm warnings were flown along the Washington and Oregon coastlines today as the Pacific northwest continued in the grip of a week-end gale and prepared for a fresh disturbance. i Western Oregon's heaviest rain storm in 2(> years paralyzed transportation and communication facilities and caused numerous casualties. . A 65-mile-an-hour gale raged through Astoria, Oro., halting ship traffic, uprooting trees and resulting in many landslides. Two slides at Westport disrupted all wire communications. The steamer Europa and the tanker Baldbutte had narrow escapes from damage. I The tug Ben Hur sank late yesterday in the swollen Williamette river, but two men aboard. Capt. Martin Ramsey and George Bag -easton, were rescued by men from 'the tug George M. Brown, which had been moored to the same barge. , „ , Flood walers, the result of lotrential rains, and slides resulted in closure of scores of highways in northwestern Oregon.

WARNS NATION AGAINST BUGS Scientists Say Insects Are Natural Enemies Os Mankind Indianapolis, Dec. 28. KU.R) Those little insects that crawl over the lun'eheon spread and disrupt your picnic on the countryside, huve a far-reaching, destructive influence on the physical and economic well-being of num. Those same insects, of many species and uncountable numbers across the nation, piny an Important. part in soil erosion, forest fires, water conservation ami flood control, Dr. F. ('• Bishop of the federal bureau of entomology and plant quarantine said today. He spoke before the American association of economic entomologists, one of the groups attending the 101st annual convention of the American association .for the advancement of science. ‘‘lnsects have demonstrated repeatedly that they must be reckoned with in almost every field of human activity,'' he said. “Trained men constantly are pitting strength an d intelligence against their forces.” Requires Research “The whole question of the interrelation of man, insects, cultivated plants, wild plants, and wild birds and animals is most intricate, i and its solution demands the closi est application and the exercise of the best judgment of research workers in many fields.” Effective application of entomological knowledge, he said, aids in protection of human life, wealth, livestock, forest and crops. Millions of grasshoppers have laid bare acres of land in Nebraska, Wyoming, Montana and the Dakotas during the last few years, he said, thus setting the stage for the destructive blowing of the soil into the air in the form of great i dust clouds. “The part played by grasshop- . pers in removal of soil cover is of 'first rank.” ho said. “White grubs ! sometimes, are so numerous as to ! cut loose great sheets of sod which ! are lifted and carried away by ; wind or water." Forrest Trees Killed ; Frenquently large areas of forI est trees are killed by bark beetles, j A fire starting in such an area completes the destruction started L by the insects, and serious floods | aiid soil erosion follow closely thereafter, tie said. ; In flood control and water conservation the impounding of water [ with dams is an essential part ol ‘ the program. “Some impounded waters not i only give opportunity for fish and , wildlife to breed." he said, "but I unfortunately they may.also give rise to serious mosquito problems. Os these malaria is Ute most ser1 ions." About 5.0*10 scientists, members I of the A. A. A.
