New Motor
Vehicle Law

Arthur H. Brice, Commissioner
of Motor Vehicles, announced to-
day the following change effective
June 1, in the issuance of an appli-
cation to a minor for driving
license.
Any person under 81 years of
age must have his application for
any type of driving license signed
by a parent or guardian, and if the
applicant has no parent or guard
ian, then by a reliable person who
is willing to assume the obligation
with respect to any negligence of
the minor when driving a motor
vehicle upon a highway in this
State. Under the law that person
shall be jointly and severally liable
with such minor for any damages.
In the event of the death of such
person signing the application of
the minor, the license will be sus-
pended until a new application
signed as required by the law is
submitted.

City PayroIls

The Department of Commerce re-
ports that the number of employees
on city payrolls increased per
cent in 1949 and that payroll costs
rose a per cent, rejecting a trend
that has seen Federal, state, coun-
ty payrolls grow nearly every year
since 1910. In October, 1949, some
1920 municipalities throughout
the country employed 1,282,999
workers, who received monthly pay
totaling $277, 100000.

The Svea Male Choir of Seattle
will present it's 45th annual Spring
Concert May in the Central Bap-
fist Church, 9th and Pine. Sten
Englund, who made such a sue
cess in the performance of the Mo-
Fart Opera, THE Maggie Flute"
will be soloist. He will be ac-
companied by John Sundsten, the
well-knoWn pianist. The Choir will
present a program of varied songs.
c. H. Sutherland, the choirs great

The Vasa lodges in Seattle are
now conducting Embarrassing
campaign in preparation for the
arrival of the eastern delegates to
the Vasa Grand Lodge Convention
in Los Angeles. The group, sched-
uled to stop at Portland July 8 and
Seattle the following day, will Wis
it the Northwest enroute to the
east. A program of activities is
being planned for them in both
Northwest Cities. One of the Sc
attic lodges, Vasa Hope, on behalf
of this campaign, sponsored a ra-
dio program on the Breakfast
Hour on kOL last Friday 1t was
a success.
There are number of political
Scandinavian Americans in the
news nowadays. A group which,
undoubtedly deserves mention is
the one belonging to the North
west Scandinavian mayoralty
camp, which is showing growing
population. The two latest arriv-
ais are Big John Anderson, Taco
ma, and r. A. Swanson, Olympia,
both newly elected mayors of those
respective cities. AS heavy
weights go, they are tops. Big
John, Norwegian American, is
6 feet, and weights 240 pounds.
Swanson, of Swedish descent, has
an edge over him, however, for he
weights $50 pounds and is an inch
taller than Big John. Someday. we
gather, the two will get together
and break arms an old Scam
dinavian custom. Both mayors
say they're going to clean up their
respective cities and make them
better places in which to live.
Swanson, we hear, is going to out
line program of activities for the
youth. too. BY the way. he really
went to town without eXerting
himself when he ran against Ed
Henderson, a bitter rival in the
prediction campaign. Henderson.
known as Olympia's "one-man
chamber of commerce" was re-
garded as the noisiest man in the
state legislature. But Swanson,
thinking talk is cheap, gave only a
few short, concise campaign
speeches. 1t paid off. too. Hender-
son, trying to attract attention
with words galore. got $50 fewer
votes than Swanson. While we're
on the subject, it's worth men,
tioning that another leading may
or in Southwest Washington is the
Swede Ed Lundgren of Aberdeen.
Lundgren, tough egg and shrewd
businessman, and possibly Ho-
quiam's mayor Frank X. Ander-
son, will contend with Mayor
Swanson of Olympia for the BAN
ion derby title with the opening
of the Olympia centennial cele-
bration May 1. They will then
match hiking skills and endur-
ance.
