Still in running order, the watch wai exchanged for a leas traveled timepiece. Lou Franco and the Western Jamboree band took over the speakers' stand after that and the light-footed element started to dance In the sreet. The tightly-packed mass of humanity that blanketed Jack ton street south almost to Cass street, and north almost to Wash ington, welcomed the opportunity to disperse and observe the dec orative efforts of Roscburg mer chants. A display of new automobiles that extended nearly two city blocks drew the attention of not a few sightseers. Among stores drawing steady crowds were Lawson's. where nearly a half-million dollars in diamonds were exhibited. Crowds packed available res. taurants for snacks and coffee during the fall show. At 10 o'clock, many sightseers topped off the evening by attending the dance at the armory. Others went home, apparently convinced that Roseburg takes a back seat to no community in civic achievements and commer cial enterprise. Top Display Listed Mabel Lewis' dress shop was the unanimous choice of three Judges as having produced the outstanding window display of the fall opening. Second choice was Ott's and Rickett't music store, third choice was Herman's men's store and fourth choice was Weber's Bakery. Three competent, impartial judges, selected by the News Review, rated Mabel Lewis' ex hibit as exceptional on all of the following counts: Thought and preparation, effort, quality and performance. A display of new fall fashions, preceded by two models showing formal gowns as worn In Rose burg 70 years ago, elicited praise from spectators. A monologue de livered In rhyme accompanied the fashion showing, which lasted 15 minutes before the cycle was completed. Ott's and Rlckett's, In the opin ion of the Judges, held the crowd's attention, was pleasing and entertaining and offered an excellent display of talent. Two hours of music was fur nished by Mrs. Lois Ann Stewart, seated at a piano, equipped with Solovox, and Mrs. Esther Geddes. completing the duet on a model piano. Approximately 40 pieces were rendered by the couple. The pianos were arranged In show windows on each side of the store entrance. Herman' men's store featured an excellent seasonal display com bined with good lighting. Men's fall fashions were well arranged and ranged from deer hunting garb to new fall suits. Appropri ate background decorations tied in the merchandise. Originality and excellent hu mor was the opinion of the Judg es In contemplating the Weber bakery display. Cleverly-fash-loner bread animals with legs of bread sticks and names lettered on the sides, passed in review, parade style, before a tlnv baker driving a cart fashioned from- a bread loaf with doughnuts for wheels. Due to technical difficulties, pictures of the four winning window disnlavs will not be printed In the News-Review.
