- SEE YOU AT THE FAIR
Sz rV.:.- By Charlei V. Stanton
rrrr.'FinJshiriir touches are beine applied today to the back
ground -for Douglas County's annual fair.. Starting tomor
row', the" fair will run "through Sunday, with tbe most elab
orate program yet attempted at this yearly event.
.'Contrasting yith the orders by Governor Holmes that
the.rOregon State Fair' be made "more agricultural" in its
policies, the Douglas County Fair is expanding in all direc
tions, and -particularly in its commercial divisions ana in
entertainis'ent. This policy, in my opinion, is most com
mendable;: v
"V.tln the' early days of our national history our expansion-was
confined to waterways. Cities were built along
theeeacoaBt and .'beside" navigable inland waters. Canals
weird constructed to link- markets and manufacturing cen-
tejKwith points of material supply. Overland transporta
tion was too slow and too cumbersome to influence loca
tion -of towns. The interior, untouched by-navigable wa
te,'was a,' vast wilderness.
Li. ..Then Came the jrailroad.
- Construction of railroads freed population from depend
ence upon water transportation. Millions upon millions of
acres of agricultural lands were opened to settlement
Homesteaders spread across the continent. Railroads
fought to build competitfve empires. The nation's economy
rested on a structure of agriculture, bound together by rail
roads. Highways Force Change
......
'f - Invention of the automobile brought about still another
change. The "horseless 'carriage" couldn't . traverse the
dirt roads over which horses could drag wagons. The au
tomobile forced construction of better roads and highways.
Farmers bought trucks- to handle produce and insisted on
"market" roads, which brought the federal government
intoTthe political aspect of road construction. The federal
government's part has slowly expanded until now it is en
gaged in an ambitious superhighway program which will
liave a most material influence on future economy.
"45ut the construction of better roads freed populations
fr'onv waterways and railroads and permitted settlements
to exist and prosper in areas previously untapped by any
fojm of:J;ransporfation. . . .
The extension of transportation facilities, making pos
Hible the assembling of greater quantities of raw materials,
resulted in a change in national ; economy from a base of
agriculture to a base of industry. Late years have seen
populations shifting from rural to urban areas. Now we
are viewing a dispersal of industrial operations and a very
pronounced shifting of people from one section to another
o the country.
;; . All these changes have had a pronounced effect on the
cpunty fair, as it has existed as an Institution for so many
years.
Emphasis Shifted
V'ln earlier days the fair was strictly agricultural. It
served not only as entertainment, but it was a school where
by farmers, lacking today's facilities for communication,
learned through word of mouth the practices of improved
agricultural production. Because of the limitations of
transportation and communication, the county fair serv
ed as a great social event a place where friendships were
renewed at annual meetings.
A more and more people left agricultural pursuits, and
as- transportation abolished isolation, interest waned in
purely agricultural fairs.
V. .Today's economic emphasis is on industrial rather than
agricultural production. Through long tradition our fairs
continue to stress agriculture, but more and more the em
phasis is shifting toward industrial and commercial exhib
its. It would seem to me that, considering our economic
history, the trend toward industrial emphasis at county
and state fairs is deserving of encouragement rather than
disparagement.
The Douglas County Fair is expected this year to show
a very favorable balance between agriculture, industry and
commerce.' In addition it is to have an entertainment pro
gram offering something of interest for everyone. It is re
plete with color, particularly in the sensational garden dis
plays. The western dance festival, drawing dancers from
far and near, will be spectacular.
' All in all, this year's fair is something no one should
miss. Forget your worries, put aside your cares; go to the
fair and have a good time!
;. See you at the fair!

Congress May Not
Act On Two Big
California Projects
WASHINGTON wi Congress
may not act this session on ad
ditional authorization legislation
for the Success and Terminus
dams. But iiep. Harlan I lagan
(D-Calif) still has hopes of getting
federal funds for work on the pro
ject's this year.
With session time running out.
an omnihus public works authori
zation bill appears to lie stymied
in the House Rules Committee
The-bill, which contains additional
authorization for the two Califor
nia flood control and irrigation
projects along with many others,
apparently will not be called up
for .House consideration this ses
sion.
Meanwhile, Congress has ap
proved and sent to the White
House an omnibui public works
appropriation bill. This measuro
contains appropriations for pro
jects, including Success and Ter
minus dams.
If President Eisenhower signs
the appropriations bill and Con
gress fails to pass the authoriza
tion bill, the question arising will
be: Can the money be used?
ilagen told a reporter it may
be possible for Army Engineers
to use some, if not all. ot the Hi
million dollars earmarked in the
appropriations bill for the Success
and Terminus projects even
though the authorization bill ap
pears to be stymied.
"I have been exploring the possi
bility of interpreting the language
in the appropriations bill to per
mit expenditures on the two pro
jects," ho said.
Nuclear Reactors
Included In Bill
Passed By Congress
WASHINGTON in - Congress
Tuesday passed and sent to Pres
ident Eisenhower a 352-million-dol-lar
atomic energy construction
bill with initial funds for a pro
gram of government-built nuclear
reactors.
Included are (wo projects at
Hanford Works, in Washington
State.
The House acted first on a ver
sion of the bill worked out in a
Senate-House conference after the
two branches had passed disagree
ing measures.
The Senate, by voice vote,
quickly followed suit with only
brief debate.
The action capped a long drive
hy Democratic members of the
Senate-House Atomic Energy Com
mittee to get started on a reactor
program which they contend is
needed to enable this country to
win the international rare for
atomic power.
The drive has been resisted by
the Eisenhower administration
particularly chairman Lewis L.
Strauss of the AKC. i
Republicans have argued the
Democrats were seeking to put 1
the government into the power
business.
Actual money for the work nil-1
thorized in the lull passed Tues-1

legislation later.

his profession that an actor j
XTISi: r
he plays, for if he does his per
formance will be poorer.
So what happens? When
avvt -
struck strangers meet Massey for
the first lime, they half expect his
first words of greetings will be
"Four score and seven years
ago."
For to millions Massey is the
man who look Abraham Lincoln
off the penny and made him a
living image again. To them he is
Lincoln.
"When people ask me if I don't
get tired of portraying Lincoln, I
net a definite homicidal urge," re
marked Massey, pointing out that
it is nearly 18 years since he open
ed on Broadway in Robert Sher
wood's "Abe Lincoln in Illinois."
"Since then i have played him
only a few times in radio and
television."
But next month he will portray
the Great Emancipator again dur
ing a 72-citv road tour of Norman
Corwin's "The Rivalry." the story
of the famed Lincoln-Douglas de
bates. Massey is happy to return to his
most famous role, but for his own
reasons.
"Actually, I'd kill any one with
my bare hands who tried to gel
the part away from me,' he said,
cheerfully knotting his big fists.
"But not because of a mission
ary urge, or because it suits my
politics although I am so Repub
lican it makes my skin crack. It's
simply because the role itself is
so overwhelming. I'd be glad to
play the devil if he gets enough
good lines."
The public may confuse Massey
with Mr. 'L' as the actor refers
to him but Massey himself, when

State Hospital Institutes
Three-Year Research Plan
By PAUL W. HARVEY Jr.
SALEM, i A three-year re
search experiment that 'could
change the whole system of treat
ing mental illness in the United
States is getting under way at the
Oregon Slate Hospital.
Four state agencies the hos
pital, and state departments of
Public Welfare, Vocational Reha
bilitation and Public Health are
joining forces in an unusual dis
play of cooperation. They will try
to prove they can cure patients
faster and cut down the alarm
ing rate of discharged patients
who return for further treatment.
The federal government is pay
ing for most of the experiment.
Mental health authoiities through
out the country will be looking
over the shoulders of the research
ers. Dr. John James, sociology pro
fessor at Portland State College
and director of the project, says:
"Mental illness is the result of
failure in the social relations of
the individual, so restoration is
achieved by creating situations
whereby his social needs are met.
We will start thorough studies
here at the hospital involving each
research patient, and continue af
ter his return to 'he community.
We are erecting a bridge between
the hospital and the community."
The study will involve the 400
patients from Lane County. This
county was .selected because its
local welfare and health facilities
are advanced.

Property In Oregon
Reaches Record High
SALEM i.fi The true cash val
ue of all properly in Oregon has
reached a new huh of S6.192.956.
607, the State Tax Commission
reported.
The increase of .109 millions over
a year ago was caused by reap
praisals, improvement in assess
ment in assessment practices
and normal growth.
One effect of the increase is to
permit the State Veterans Depart
ment to issue another i million
dollars worth of bonds to finance
purchase of farms and homes bv
veterans. The department's bond
ing limit is 4 per cent of the
state's valuation
It had reached the limit a few
weeks ago. hut Ihe higher valua
tion now will permit the extra i
millions in bonds.
I The 400 patients will stay to
i gether as a unit, in conliast to the
present system whereby patients
are segregated according to type
.of mental illness. The doctors thus
I will treat all types of mental
! troubles.
j Each of these 400 patients will
j become a research project him
I self.
Complete information will be
nhlaini.il from his family, friends
land employers. The researchers,
who will number in the hundreds,
will encourage the local people
to maintain contact with the pa
tient while he's in the hospital.
In the hospital, ihe patients will
be fitted into jobs which can help
them to be cured. The job empha
sis will shift to the therapeutic
value of the job, rather than what
the hospital can gain from the
patient's work.
When a patient is ready to be
discharged, the way will be payed
for the community to accept him.
A job will be arranged. His fam
ily will get counselling, and his
friends will be taught how to treat
him.
"This will be a demonstration
that agencies can cooperate in the
rehabilitation of patients," Dr.
James said. "Agencies now make
less than the full use of their facil
ities. I
"We are' concerning ourselves
with factors relating to the total!
personality." I
Dr. James says that many fam-j
ilies abandon the patients on the
assumption they won't come back
from the hospital, but he points
out that the average patient stays
in the hospital only six months.
''Our objective," he said, "is '
to try to keep the family open for
the patient. The local agencies
will maintain contacts so that the
patient is still a part of his fam
ily and community." j
The project is being carried on
in such a way that any state can
benefit from the results, the in
itiative for the project came from
the state, but Uncle Sam was hap
py to finance most of it.
So far as the rest of the 3.500
patients are concerned, they will
get immediate benefits through the
job therapy program. Every pa
tient job in the hospital is being
described and analyzed so that
each patient can be placed in the
job that will benefit him most.
