NO CAUSE FOR COMPLAINT
By CHARLES V. STANTON
Recommendation has been made to the State Highway
commission that it set up an advertising budget of $250,000
to promote tourist travel in Oregon during 1950.
Some economy-minded people probably will be critical
of spending such a large sum from highway funds for ad
vertising purposes. But certainly no one with knowledge
of advertising will be critical because the amount is too
high. On the other hand, an advertising expert might criti
cise the recommendation because the amount is too low.
; The advertising budget is proposed by an advisory con
inittee, which reports that Oregon was visited by approxl
mately 2,500,000 tourists during the past season.
: Tourist income has been tentatively estimated by the
highway commission at around $110,000,000 during the past
season an increase of 18 per cent from 1948.
The sum of $250,000 may seem like a lot of money for
advertising purposes, but any advertising expert will tell
you that it is only one-tenth the amount the state should
spend if it were to put its advertising on a business basis.
Any good advertising agent will recommend to a business
man that he set aside a fixed percentage of gross income
to be used for advertising purposes. The percentage varies
according to the type of business, rate of turnover, markup
and other factors.
For instance, a store, doing a large volume of business
with a rapid turnover of stock and high markups would
have a higher percentage for its advertising budget than
a business dealing only in slow-moving merchandise with
low markups.
Many businesses have had remarkable growth by plowing
a large percentage of profits back into advertising.
Recommended advertising percentages seldom are below
two per cent. Some businesses are spending as high as six
and eight per cent of gross revenue for advertising.
Naturally the rate has many variables to consider, for
the percentage must be calculated on a complex formula.
But few businesses should have less than a two per cent
advertising budget. ,
A business producing $110,0u0,000 annually is a rather
large enterprise. Naturally, all the $110,000,000 revenue
does not go to the State of Oregon. Only a small part, in
fact, is collected by the state from gasoline taxes. But the
profit goes into the pockets, directly or indirectly, of virtu
ally every resident. Thus, everyone has an interest in the
state's tourist travel advertising program.
Probably the $250,000 budget proposed for advertising
purposes represents more than two per cent of the tax
money and other revenue received by the state govern
ment from tourist travel.
But whether it rates more or less, no one should com
plain that the proposed amount is too high. If anything,
it is too low.
"Jim" Ormandy To Retire From S. P.
The Southern Pacific company (and we're not ,'needling"
today) is losing one of its most valuable employees in the
retirement of J. A. Ormandy. "Jim" is affectionately known
throughout the division he has served so long, not only by
the men with whom he has been associated in the company,
but by the thousands he has served in an official capacity
and many more thousands who are pleased to call him
friend. We will regret discontinuance of his friendly, pleas
ant visits, and we know we speak for many residents of
this area when we hope for many pleasant years following
his retirement and extend commendation for, the able ac
complishments of many years of loyal service.

Nudism Booming
In Great Britain;
Want To Be Legal
LONDON m Nudism is
booming in Britain. More people
are walking around naked than
ever before.
Not in public, of course the
law frowns on that but in flour
ishing "naturist" camps scattered
throughout the country.
Leaders of the open-air cult
say happily they've never seen
anything like it
Britain's few hundred timid
pre-war nudists have grown into
a lusty movement 50,000 strong.
In 1938 there were 20 nudist
clubs. Now there are 60. Many
non-club "naturists" enjoy life in
the raw In the privacy of their
own homes and gardens.
The British Sun Bathing asso
ciation (BSBA) biggest nudist
group has just voted to incor
porate nudity. It's forming a lim
ited company of 200 sharehold
ers. Right now the clammy British
winter has driven all except the
hardiest "naturists" Into long un
derwear. But the BSBA hopes
next summer will be the best
ever for the one out of every 1,.
000 Britons it says likes to frolic
naked in the sun.
The burning question: Will the
sun cooperate?
It did in 1949. It was the sun
niest summer for 16 years. '
Mrs. Sylvaia Bassam, 34, pret
ty Canadian-born secretary of the
BSBA, says the association is cam
paigning for three things:
1. The legal right to bathe in
the nude on approved public
beaches;.
2. More young women nudists;
3. To teach skeptics that "na
turism" is "a healthy, whole
some way of life followed by in
telligent people.
Mrs. Bassam. whose own sun-
tan, she affirms, stretches un
broken from top to toe, says Brit
ish nudists don't want mixed
bathing with nudists and non-nudists
taking the sun together.
They want certain public beaches
set aside.
Biggest pain in the neck for
British nudist club directors, Mrs.
Bassam says, is the unbalance of
sexes. Far more males than fe
males Join, the ratio being about
four to one.
Douglas County Ranked;

Production, Report Shows
Douglas county's 796,509,033
board feet output of Douglas fir
lumber ranked second in the Pa
cific Northwest during 1948, a
report from H. V. Simpson, execu
tive vice-president of the West
Coast Lumbermen's association,
reveals. The county employed
8,357 persons during its peak
month, August, 1948.
Lane county ranked first with
an output of 1,311,573,154 board
feet, uniy tnree otner counties in

said. They were Grays Harbor,

by a few million feet in ita best

Western Oregon and Washing

was worth $690,000,000 in cash to
the two states, Simpson said. It
amounted to 26.1 percent of the

year. Oregon retained its place
for the 11th-straight year, since
1938, as the nation's leading lum
ber producing state, and Wash
ington held on to second place..
This production came from 26

QUESTION: I understand
there is a form of automobile

specifically states the amount
of insurance rather than given
as "actual cash value at the

ANSWER: No matter what
amount is stated in the policy,
the insurance company will not
settle for more than the actual
