IN the background ol everything these days Is Russia. (Russia was In the minds of the people In Wisconsin and Nebraska when they went to the primary polls and voted for a young man who seems to have an Intelligent pro gram for standing up against Rus sia and the slave way of life that Russia represents.) - Russia admits a licking In the Italian campaign. She TURNS ' DOWN the proposal from our ; side that the city of Trieste be given back to the Italians. KEEP this Trieste business (and the strategy behind It) straight In your thinking. Trieste was created a "free" city by the Italian peace trealy, which was signed by 21 na tions, INCLUDINGG RUSSIA. We haven't been quite so brash about Trieste as the day-today dispatches have suggested. We . (meaning the United States, Brit ain and France) didn't Just pro pose on our own to caneci Trieste's status as a free city and turn it back to Italy. ' WE PROPOSED TO RUSSIA THAT THIS BE DONE with Russia's Consent. The Russians have now refused ' to have anything to do with It. Thus, you see, the ONUS of REFUSAL has been put on Rus sia. IT'S an old political trick. In this country and to a somewhnt less extent In France and Britain . we are familiar with all these . vote-getting tricks. In our coun try, for example, the President ; proposes something he knows Con gress won't stand for. Maybe ho 1 laa't greatly interested In It him I self. What he really wants Is to PUT THE BEE on Congress. (It ', works Just as often the other way around.) - Anyway, we tried this strategy . on Russia, find It worked. Russia refuses to play, and so puis her 1 self In the position of denying to - the Italians something they want. So far as we are concerned, '. that Is better than actually at ; tempting to give Trieste to Italy on our own. We could have got Into a lot ot trouble If wo had tackled It from that angle. THERE'S another Interesting tale from Russia. They have their BOOTLEGGING troubles there. The Presidium of the Supreme Soviet (which is as high up as they get in the Soviet system) publishes a decree authorizing , sentences of from one to two years for making bootleg liquor for home use and up to seven years for making It FOR SALE. We've been led to think that nothing like that ever happens In Russia. It Isn't true. Russians have all the human fallings. KRNR Mutual Broadcasting fyrtem 1490 Kilocycles By CHARLES V. STANTON The Oregon Advertising Club, in cooperation with the Governor's Tourist Committee, arid the Travel and Informa tion Department of the Oregon State Highway Commission, is sponsoring this week Oregon's third annual tourist pro motion effort. Tourist business has become the state's third largest industry. Income in 1941 was $50 million. In 1946 it jumped to $85 million, and amounted to $105 million in 1947. It is anticipated this season's tourist business will be in excess of $125 million. Oregon and Western Oregon, in particular is not too well equipped this season to do a bang-up job as a tourist host. We are much like the crowded family which is com pelled to use the davenport to accommodate overnight house guests. But because we are busy and overcrowded is no reason we should relax traditional Oregon courtesy. One of the chief aims of the tourist promotion campaign is to train Oregonians in the art of being good hosts to out-of-state visitors. Before we can be good hosts we must have a realization of the importance of the tourist business and study ways and means of bringing more tourists and making their stay so pleasant that they not only will remain longer but will return again and again. Perhaps the task of educating the average Oregonian to the importance of the tourist business and its potentials for expansion is the most difficult hurdle. If the public generally comes to the full realization of the' possibilities of tourist income, it will, through self-interest, cater to tourist desires. That we do not realize, as yet, the benefits to be brought to the state by serving the tourist trade is quite evident. Exhibit A is the state of our major highways. The Pacific highway, for instance, is totally inadequate for even local traffic and contains numerous bottlenecks. We know, of course, that adequate funds for complete reconstruction have not been available. Had we been aware of the possibilities for income from tourist business, we would have supplied such funds years ago. If we were awake at present to the potentials, we would tolerate no further delay in revamping our main traveled arteries to standards suitable for the traffic they must bear in future years. Exhibit B is our shortage of accommodations for the tourist, lethargy in development of our recreational re sources, and delay in installation of resorts to prolong the tourist's stay and causo "repeat business." In recent years there has been considerable improvement In the type of camp ground and motel built along our high ways. We still have need, however, for more and more first class installations. Today's tourist wants more than a roof over his head and a broken down bed. He wants pleasant, attractive cabins, adequately and well furnished, and with modern conveniences. One reason we do not have more first class motels along certain portions of our highway, particularly here in Doug las County whore the need is very great, is found in the failure of the State Highway Commission to furnish infor mation concerning permanent highway locations. Several millions of dollars probably would be spent in construction of motels, motor courts, restaurants, and service industries in and near the City of Koseburg if prospective investors knew where the highway would be located. If t,he highway department would survey the route, even for a distance of 10 miles north and south of the city, and would purchase the right of way, large sums of money doubtless would go into immediate construction. Probably no other state has as many favorable oppor tunities for development of recreational resources as has Oregon. We have unparalleled scenery to attract the rapidly increasing numbers of camera fans. We have some of the finest potential fishing resorts in the world, yet are letting our fishery resource be exploited and destroyed by commer cial gear, pollution, main stream dams, destruction of water sheds by burning and improper logging, erosion and silting Thus, as Exhibit C we have our own carelessness and negli gence our thoughtless waste of a resource as evidence that wo need education In the importance of the tourist industry. We have untold opportunity for dndo ranches. Who among tourists who like to ride could resist a week, two weeks or a month traveling horseback through the Wilderness areas of our national forests? Our winter sports potential is virtually untouched. If the tourist promotion campaign does no nunc than make our ovn people awaro of our "Acre of Diamonds," it Will have successfully negotiated the first hurdle in our race for more tourist dollars. Lions Vofe Funds For Drum Corps' Trip to Festival Support of the Lions Club in providing a portion of the ex penses of sending the Roseburg Drum and Bugle Corps to Port land during the Rose Festival was assured Thursday night, when the members voted $100 toUard this protect. It was reported that approxi mately $500 would be needed to send the Roseburg group, directed by Bill Black and sponsored by the Knights of Pythias, to the festival. Roseburg, has been doubly hon ored in the fact that both the drum and buule corns and thp Roseburg High School band have been extended invitations to par- ucipaie in roruanas Die attrac tion in June.

Assurance of the club in sponsoring one or two boys, as in the past was given. Concession Service Planned Bill Unrath was named chair man of the Lions committee for the food and drinks concession at the fair grounds during the June rodeo, ine club has the ex clusive contract for this con cession and will also serve break fast Sunday morning of the rodeo for the performers. It will also operate a concession during the crowning of the rodeo queen May 2, it was reported. Invitation to attend a charter night meeting of the newly or ganized Gold Hill Lions Club April 2 was read, and the local group plans to be represented. The Ladies' Night spring din ner, dance, and frolic last Sat urday night at the Country Club was reported to have been very successful. About 80 were in at tendance. A letter of thanks from Lady Lions was read, ex pressing their appreciation for the evening and the corsages given them by the club. Mayor Talks To Club As the program feature, Mayor Albert G. Flegel addresed the club on city a flairs, work of the city council during the past year and planned projects for the coming year. His talk was simi lar, though slightly modified, to that which he gave at the Kiwanls club meeting Teusday noon. He stated he wished to make it clear, however, that the city does not at this time have suf ficient funds for the purchase of an 80-foot ladder fire truck, but the council hopes additional revenue from the rural fire area will be forthcoming to make this possible in the not too distant future. He expressed his gratitude Ifor the assistance he has been given by committees named for various civic functions. He further ex tended an invitation to every member of the club and others interested to be present at city council meeting to fill up thp vacant chairs in the council chambers.

PORTER CREEK CAFE Highway 42 2 Miles East of Tenmile Open Under NEW Management. Home Cooked Food Good Coffee TRUCKERS WELCOME Some Facts About Watches We Americans are better educated in the fields of mechanics than any other people. American students learn much of mechanics through formal educa tion and spend many long hours assembling and reassembling "jalopies," motorcycles and radio sets for their own enjoyment and pursuit of knowledge. But In the field of watches Americans are Unique rn being one of the most misinformed. It is a fact we demand more service from our watches than from our automobiles yet many Americans buy watches unwisely, and then give them worse treatment than they would any car! There are probably more twisted conceptions concerning watches than any other machine. If we could only sweep out the misinformation concerning watches the American people would get 70 better service from the watches they own. The average person, through his lack of information, wastes at least $150 in a lifetime spent on watches and watch repair. More and more people are dissatisfied with their watches and they bellieve "watches aren't what they used to be." As a matter of fact modern watches are better instruments than ever before. Usually the watch in question has been neglected or abused; it is taken to a watchmaker any watch maker and then continues to run unsatisfactorily. To be quite frank about it, probably 60 of all watchmakers practicing today either are not sufficiently train ed or do not have the required mechanical aptitude to become competent watch makers. The majority of watchmakers are mutilating watches and the general pub lic, which has somehow conceived the idea that all watchmakers are pretty much alike, blames the watch. Any watch which is not excessively worn can be made to run accurately at a rea sonable cost by a good watchmaker. Because of dissatisfaction and mistrust many people suspect all jewelers of aiming to separate the customer from his money as quickly as possible. Un fortunately this is true in many cases. And since the customer no longer re lies on his jeweler he uses his own discretion in buying a watch. In many cases he buys the one which is most highly advertised. This does not neces sarily mean he gets the best for his money. Many manufacturers of really fine watches do very little advertising. For example: Patek-Phillipe, Vache-ron-Constantine, Meylan, Omega ond Tavannes which is the largest manu facturer of watches in the world. Today there are only three American watch companies manufacturing jew eled watches. These are Elgin, Hamilton ond Waltham. All other watches are Swiss made about 70 96 of those worn today. We hope to tell you more about Swiss made watches in our column next week. Due to the complexities of brands, guarantees, claims, costs, origin and service the only really safe way to purchase a watch, knowing you are getting the most for your money, is to buy from a trustworthy jeweler. He will give you correct infor mation about the watch and he will guarantee its service. We, Knudtson's, have soW watches on a guaranteed basis in Roseburg for sixty two years. We have al ways given honest sen-ice and honest representation. In our display cases are watches which we feel will satisfy the wishes of each individual, for no one manu facturer makes watches for every purpose. For example: Elgin, Hamilton and Gruen make no shock-resistant watches. We carry Elgin, Hamilton. Gruen, Longines, Wyler, Tavannes, Harvel, and our top grade Ulysse Ntmlin. We cany watches ranging in price from 53 to $2,500. Remember, In buying a fine watch you are possessing not only an attractive and accurate timepiece but pride of ownership which is actually the result of a pur chase of years of timekeeping service. We consider it our job that your pride in your watch is warranted now and for many years to come. Cert ij ied He inoliiist ' KeyMcrcd Jetvtter Amertran Gm Soflcty JEWELE1S 103 N. Jackson
