RECREATIONAL GOLD
By CHARLES
Promoters are so numerous

somewhat exatfirerated we
former Roseburg resident, now engaged in the practice of
law at Inglewood. Incidentally, Dan has been doing a little
promotions! work on the side, having been one of the origi
nators of Pioneer City, subject of a recent feature article in
Saturday Evening Pout.
The tremendous influx of population into California is
making life less attractive to a man who appreciates the
wide open spaces, and Dan is visiting in Roseburg now while
considering moving back to this community.
Dan has many tales to tell of promotional activities in
Southern California, where the boys with the big ideas are
making plenty of fast bucks with their schemes. The tre
mendous tide of new settlers offers unlimited opportunity
for the man with ideas for real estate speculation and land
enterprises.
One of the most fertile fields for promotion, says Keohane,
is to be found in recreation. As the state becomes more and
more congested, the promoter who can come up with plans
for a fishing resort, dude ranch, or even a golf course,, is
in the big dough.
Promoters to Mint Gold in Oregon
In our conversation with Dan we ventured the assertion
that California's high-powered promoters soon would be
discovering Oregon. He agreed with our opinion that Ore-j
goniuns are slow to realize the tremendous recreational re
sources, of this state and that when California eventually
discovers .Oregon's recreational gold we will have a deluge
of investment money from the Golden State.
More profitable than California's gold mines, we believe,
are Oregon's recreational resources. They need only invest
ment capital and operational know-how to produce profits
equuj to the richest mines. But, because familiarity breeds
contempt, too few Orcgonians realize how little it takes to
draw recreational dollars and how many opportunities exist
In Oregon to. provide playgrounds for millions of pcoyle,
anxjus to escape briefly the
or metropolitan areas. .
Dan told us how he has been working with an organization
engaged in promotion of trails in California. Riding-hiking
trails are being built from one end of the state to the other.
Large sums of money are provided by state agencies in
promoting these purely recreational routes. Easements are
being obtained across private lands near cities. Soon, says
Keohane, Californians, who are turning more and more to
horseback riding for recreation and exercise, will hare
thousands of miles of traif available.
Will Seek Playground in Oregon
It is to be expected that Oregon will become California's
playground. While California's own riding trails, desert re
sorts, mountain and coastal fishing resorts, etc., will par
tially supply the recreational need, they will not take care
of the 20 million' or more people soon expected to be in
cluded in California's population.
Here in Oregon we have excellent fishing streams, wilder
ness areas, national forests, hundreds of lakes, unexcelled
scenery. It would be possible to create dozens of winter re
sorts, given adequate financing and access highways.
As California promoters begin to run out of promotional
ideas, some of the smart boys will start looking around for
new material. Oregon could be a promoter's paradise. The
possibility for fishing resorts, dude ranches, conducted tours
in national forests, wilderness areas and scenic wonderlands,
such as the Cascades, Wallowa mountains. Snake river can
yon, etc., offers unlimited opportunity. When California en
terprise and capital actually begin to discover these possi
bilities the expansion will be startling to the conservative
Oregonian, so indifferent to the rapid growth of tle rec
reational industry and to the resources which confront him
daily.
The Umpqua basin, we predict, will be one of the spots
attracting early. development. That is why we are sq ex
tremely interested in establishing a county park program,
whereby lands may be acquired and dedicated for continued
public use. If we fail to acquire these lands soon, it will
ultimately be too late.

Mrs. Mary Bookout, who has
been hospitalized since list July, is
reported to be "getting along as

serious injuries last summer when
a gasoline lantern exploded in her

since that time.
The nature of the burns about

"Like s gypsy caravansary the

They flock in from the lakes and

for five glorious days of comrade

"Many of them camp out en

fire at night to exchange news

they pick up and scatter across

Labor Govt. Faces
Confidence Vote
LONDON, March 9 (PI The
labor government made it crystal
clear today it would resign and
call for new elections if defeated
tonight on a motion opposing na
tionalization of steel.
Herbert Morrison, depuly Prime
Minister and leader of the slender
labor majority 'in Commons, said
flatly "everybody must understand
that it involves an issue of con
fidence as far as the government
are concerned."
All parties are making every ef
fort to ensure that every member
is present when the crucial vote
comes.
One Tory member. Lord John
Hope has been running a temper
ature. It has been suggested he
might be brought by ambulance
from his home for the vote.
At least three Labor members
are not expected to be present
because of illness but one Tory
tias not yet been sworn in and
four are ill.
These individual cases assume
importance because Labor has an
overall majority of only seven,
with 31.1 of the 824 seats filled at
the General election.

Last month both Republicans
and Democrats put on big eating-
speamng-progra m affaira here in
Washington. Each was record
breaking in attendance but that
was the only similarity. The Re
publicans filled the hall with 12,000
folks and had to turn away 3,000
more. The Republicans charged a
dollar and wore atreet clothes. The
Democrats seated more than S.000,
all dressed in evening clothes, and
charged flOO per plate.
The federal tlx collector Is still
wondering how he is going to col
lect the more than $100,000 in the
regular 20 tax which should have
been paid on admissions to such an
affair. The Republicans paid their
tax 2U cents on eacn tacitet. The
Democrats, however, claim that
the dinner was a free gift from the
Democrat National committee and
that the $100 paid by each diner
was a contribution to the Demo
crat campaign fund. That's where
the argument is at present. But
how about it maybe churches,
schools and charitable organiza
tions should sell "donations" or
"contributions" instead of admis
sion tickets for their entertain
ments, bazaars and dinners.
On the other hand, Congressman
Robert Hale of Maine (Republican
of course) pointed out in a discus-
sion oi tne suDject on the floor of
the House the other day, that may
be tne Democrats are right in re
fusing to pay the tax after all. The
tax, Hale pointed out, is an amuse
ment tax. He then offered the ob
servation that certainly a nothing
very amusing happened at the din

"Reaching for the Moon," could

Mona Paulee, above, though, actu

in which she scored her first suc

Miss Paulee, noted mezzo so
prano, will appear on the stage of
the Roseburg junior high school
auditorium Tuesday, Mar. 14, at
8:1$ p.m. in the last of the Com
munity Concert series.
Born in Edmonton, Can., of
French-Russian ancestry, Mona
migrated with her family to Port
land, Ore., at the age of four years.
Her father waa a theater manager,
and Mona was a theater fan. Those
were the days of the bouncing ball
and singing audience: Mona was
the singing-est of them all Here's
where her first success came in.
It happened in the dimly-lighted
Portland theater. The high school
gang with whom she was sitting
dared her to enter that night s am
i ateur contest. She defiantly march-
ed up and sing "Reaching for the
Moon.'' and won the $10 first prize.

house circuit. Finally from this
hard school, she graduated to light
opera and oratorios, and then to
solo engagements with the renown
ed Pasadena Bach society snd
the Federal symphony. In 1938 she
was engaged by the San Francisco
Opera Co., where she sang minor
rules and understudied the princi
pals. She next attacked New York,
trying for a Metropolitan contract
via the famed Metropolitan Opera
Auditions of the Air She won the
finals and was chosen, wiiii two

The following year she made her
debut at the Metropolitan as Gia

of operatic success, and finally
toured the West, Middlewest and
South in the title role of "Carmen.'
Then radio beckoned. She has
been guest soloist numerous times
on the Ford and Coca Cola pro

time each season to operatic ap
