U.S. Ideals Fail To Keep
Pace With Trade, Jaycees
Told; Honor Awards Made
The spreading of American
ideals of freedom has failed to
keep pace with the spread of busi
ness to other parts of the world.
Business men have successfully
sold our products, but have not
sold our ideals. That's where we
have fallen short.
These facts were pointed out by
Lofton L. Tatum. Portland attor
ney and Junior chamber of com

Thursday night.
Highlight ot the meeting was the

service key by Don Forbes to the
Rev. Walter A. MacArthur, Rose

Jack Holt, Former
Cowboy Of Films,
Taken By Death
HOLLYWOOD UP) Death
has claimed Jack Holt, 62, hard
riding cowboy of both the open
and the cinema range.
He succumbed last night at
the Veterans' hospital in West
Los Angeles to coronary throm
bosis. He had suffered three se
vere heart attacks since shortly
before Christmas.
Holt was a recognized star in
Hollywood for 20 years in a row,
a most enviable record in motion
pictures. And he successfully
bridged the transition from silent
to talking films. He played the
lead roles in nearly all the movie
versions of Zane Grey's novels.
Throuph his mother, Holt was
a direct descendant of John Mar
shall, chief justice of the U. S.
supreme court. He married Mar
garet Woods, St. Paul society
woman, in 1916. They had a son,
Tim, and a daughter, Jennifer
Marshall Holt, an actress. Mrs.
Holt obtained a Mexican divorce
decree in 1933. But in 1940 the
California courts held it invalid
on the ground it was a mail order
divorce.
Holt was in the army quarter
master corps in World War 11. He
entered as a captain in 1943 and
was discharged as a major.
Born Charles John Holt in Win
chester, Va., he received his edu
cation in New York schools and at
Virginna Military institute. Before
going on the stage he was a civil
engineer with a railroad company,
an Oregon rancher and a pros
pector and trapper in Alaska.
His ability to ride a horse
expertly and to rope, learned on
western ranches, gave him his
movie chance. He doubled for the
hero in a film called "Salomy
Jane." He leaped 30 feel from a
horse into the Russian river in
northern California. The feat
netted him $25. two broken ribs
and an offer to come to Holly
wood. Fairgrounds Fire Kills

"The Junior chamber of com
merce is purely an American func
tion," said Tatum. "No place else
in the world will people work their
hearts out as local men are doing
just to make Roseburg a better
place to live in."
In England, Tatum said, Junior
chambers exist for business pur
poses only. In South America they
become political organs and rev
olutions often follow. Slowly the
Junior chamber is making inroads
into these countries.
Tatum found American business
much in evidence in South Amer
ica, when he attended the Interna
tional congress at Rio De Janeiro
in 1948. Signs displayed Ameri
can products and he rode ' in an
American made car.
"But," he emphasized, "we have
fallen short in selling our ideas of
freedom ideas which have estab
lished man as superior to govcrn
ment.'This freedom makes it pos
sible for us in this country to at
tend such functions as first citi
zen's banquets. That's what we are
after, and that's what we should
go for."
