TWO CELEBRATIONS By Charles V. Stanton Two Douglas County communities hold their celebra tions at the same time this weekend. Sutheiiin with its Timber Days and Canyonville with its centennial will each stage special events on Friday and Saturday. The two celebrations differ widely. Sutherlin's Timber Days is one of Oregon's outstanding events dedicated to the timber worker and the timber industry. It draws partici pants from all parts of Oregon. It is growing in size and importance each year. Sutherlin's Timber Days is rapidly becoming a countywide celebration deserving of support from everyone interested in a good time. Canvonville is not competing against Sutherlin. That was made clear to me by Mayor Ed Oaks, who has had 11 years as councilman and mayor. Ed runs a garage and is one of Canyonville's top boosters and civic yorkers. He Jlttnil l JJCJ IIIILLCU inn umiu n, kiu,. ..... ...p,..-.. .-m-- was taken in hand by the "Vigilantes" and was exhibited in the stocks before being run through the "dunking tank" be cause he was beardless. Canyonville has to celebrate this weekend, said Mayor Oaks, because this is the lUOth year since Jesse tiouens platted the townsite. It becomes necessary to observe the date. Everyone Helping Norman Hanson, postmaster, fire chief and parade chairman, told me that, the Canyonville Centennial parade already has signed up 65 units. "That's one of the biggest parades anywhere," he told me. "That's all they allow in the Parade of Roses." Carl Hill, general chairman, said that never before in Canyonville's history have people worked together as they now are doing. There is no factionalism, everyone is doing something, people are pulling as one, he asserted. He just hopes it won't be another 100 years before that happens again. Canyonville has some wonderful displays. The store windows are presenting articles from a century or more ago. But that isn't all ! Some of the gals have blossomed out in dust-sweeping garments of the ancient age. T h e y look cute, but even a sack dress gets a favorable compari son. It was exactly 100 years ago, I was told, that Jesse Roberts platted the townsite. It seems that the beautiful little valley was an ideal stopping and resting place after travelers had traversed the difficult California-Oregon trail through the canyon. Roberts, it seems, bought up a couple of donation land claims, put in a hotel and needed mills, laid out the town site and then, like most dreamers, went broke. The astute businessmen who bought him nut built up Canyonville and made it an important part of Douglas County. History Produced My. history may not be exact, but the real facts and details will be made clear during the celebration. Hess Clough has written a history of Canyonville. She's gather ed the essential information into one booklet which is to be made available to all interested parties. j Canyonville has grown mightily in the last few years.1 It is ideally situated. The new highway actually is a part i of the city. Canyonville nestles beautifully into the hills and along the shores of the South I'mpqua River. It's just too bad, according to my way of thinking, that Canyonville can't have a centennial every year. If it appears that I am boosting Canyonville at Suther lin's expense, 1 mean no such offense. Sutherlin's celebration comes annually. Canyonville is working on a centennial. Koth celebrations are well worth anyone's time. Good entertainment Is promised at both. One good solution is to get in on both parties. Tuned In f MiohniT COURT '"fi;'yt' CASE Logger Charged With Violations Of Fire Laws MOUNT VERNON, Wash. (AP) An Arlington logger was charged Wednesday with two counts of violating stale fire ordi nances in an outgrowth of the Culttu Mountain (orest fire of last month. Sam Esperson, 37, owner of a small logging outfit operating in the vicinity when the fire broke out July 23, was charged in justice court with failure to maintain a (ire watch and with not having fire fighting equipment at the scene. lie was released on $500 bail. Robert Kissinger, his 17-year-old employe, was released without thargc. The two wexe arrested by Sr.ohomish County officials a', the request of the State Department of Natural Resources. L. V. Morton, an investigator, said the blaze is believed to have started from backfire embers at the Esperson operation. " The Cullus Mountain fire burned 1,800 acres of slash and timber, costing $100,000 to fight. IN THE DAY'S NEWS By FRANK JENKINS Committee Cives Hawaii Statehood Bill Approval WASHINGTON (AP) - The House Interior Committee ap proved the Hawaii statehood bill by a 22-4 vote Wednesday. Chairman Leo O'Brien (D-NY) of the Territories subcommittee said he would consider it futile to attempt further action this year. He predicted early action in the next Congress and final enact ment of the bill within 12 months. (Continued From Page One) ing will average 80 billion dollars a year for the next five years.) He made the statement when questioned by a house committee about the administration request for a bill raising the national debt ceiling to 288 billion dollars. For the benefit of those who con tend that big federal spending maans hid natinrml nrnsDeritv. let's keep the situation straight in our minds. It works like this: The government takes the money out of your pocket in the form of taxes artd spends it. That means that YOU DON'T HAVE IT IN YOUR POCKET TO SPEND AS YOU CHOOSE. More federal SDending stuff: i President Eisenhower has vetoed a 6',i billion dollar appropriations bill. He said in his veto message that the extra 589 million dollars added to the original bill would un necessarily push up the deficit. Some Washington congressional leaders think the veto will put some federal agencies on SHORT MONEY RATIONS until next year (meaning that if the veto stands some federal departments may not i have money enough to maintain i their establishments on the scale ! to which they have become accus ; tomed.) That recalls a statement in a re cent letter from a Washington friend. He says: "From all I can hear, the rest of the country has been feeling the recession bite. Here in Washing ton, D.C., though, the economic picture is VERY BRIGHT. Wash ington's biggest payroll industry is government and as a result of the recent increase in their pay gov ernment employees are spending 10 per cent more money in town. "Not only that, but everybody got enough in a retroactive pay check to make a down payment on a new automobile or maybe a new house. "As a result, business here in WasHngton is BOOMING and there is no recession talk." FORMER CHIEF DIES SEATTLE (AP) Walter N. Kirtley, former Seattle police clvef, died Friday in Kerby, Ore., friends learned here Wednesday. Kirtley, 75, worked up from pa trolman after joining the local force in 1919 to chief, to which he was appointed in 1935. He retired in 1944. Danmoore Hotel 1217 S. W. MORRISON ST.

Thinking It Over By Robtrt L. Dieffenbacher, D. D. (Written for NEA Service) Statistics are cold and inhuman. When we read that a hundred or more people were killed over a weekend we fail to consider the human tragedy to the families in volved. Even lists of names give us little concern unless one name is very familiar. Our concern for people is de termined by our association with them and even then it is largely in terms of self - interest. We are not consistent, however. When we are affected by tragedy ourselves we want others to share our trou bles. We demand their full atten tion. Somehow we believe that God shares a deep feeling for us. We expect Him lo junfp to our rescue when we face the smallest hard ship. If we want so much from the Father we ouqht to show more interest in our fellowmen. Spiritual teamwork would humanize the statistics of tragedy. Wthelaw I A PUBLIC SERVICE OF THE j COLLEGE OF LAW, WILLAMETTE UNIVERSITY Jim Unger entered Fiedler's Coffee Shoppe to eat. He went to a booth, removed his overcoat, which the waiter hung on a hoik near the booth. Unger ale as he read the evening paper. When lie got up to leave, he discovered that the coat was not there. He immediately reported ihe facts to the owner and requested return of the coat. The restaurant owner was surprised and thought it was only a mistake, that Ihe coat would be returned when the mistake was discovered by the one who look it. Unger went back several times to learn whether the coat had been returned. Finally he demanded that the owner pay for it. This demand was refused. Will the restaurant owner have to pay for the coat? MR. FIEDLER would nut legal ly he liable for the loss of the coat. Certainly it would not be expect- Brace Biossat -Hal Boyle- NEW YORK lTI It isn't the people who are off on va cation who cut down ttie efficiency of the average business office this time of year.

"Check any illnesses suffered nv the family: poison iy? colic' One of the great questions of: this century is whether the free economies of the world can grow; wid prosper without cimliniiing in flation. I On Ihe record, it lias not been generally managed so far. Ever; sir.ee World War II ended, the great expansion in America and , l''urope has been matched almost step by step by strong inflationary ; pressures. The mailer is one that govern ments deal delicately with. They' want to control inflation, and will in nearly every instance mae some moves toward that goal. Hut llu-y also fear deflation and depres sion, and hence hesitate lo clamp Ihe anti - inflation screws loo tight. IT SEEMS TO be agreed that ; expansion of the economy taki s : money. If funds are pumped into! the country's bloodstream by gov-j eminent borrowing anil unbalanc ed budgets, Ihe results will be in flationary. If the money comes i from wage boosts that far oiitiun g;.uis in productivity and from prices higher than reasonable costs Ministers Appeal For End To Tests Of Atomic Bombs PORTLAND (AP) - Some 117 ministers from 71 Oregon coinniu r.uies and H Christian denomina tions Wednesday appealed for the I niied States to secure an inter national agreement to suspend nuclear weapons lesting. The appeal, released on Ihe Llih anniversary of the bombing of Hiroshima, was addvessed 1 o I'lesident Eisenhower, Secretary of Stale Dulles, and John A. Mc l one, chairman of the A'omic Energy Commission. The statement, initialed by Hie American Friends Smicc Com mittee and several ministers, lilted thai the United States ce.i;e nuclear tests and seek an agree ment with other nations suspend log all tests. The ministers questioned the morality of continued testing in the bsht of "mounting evidence of radioactive fallout and by Ihe widely held opinion of scientists lli.it harmful effects will be vis ited upon tinlwrn generations." dictate, the outcome is the same. Is there any way lo escape the spiral and still give the economy powerful propulsion? Wage gains which simply match advances in efficiency do not seem lo have a big enough impact, for in many fields (here is no room lor such advances on a significant scale. What can a locomotive en gineer do to improve his output? In a London dispatch. John Allin May of the Christian Science Moni tor suggests, however, that expan s on and stability might yet work out as traveling companions. He points out that for most of the period since 1951 West Ger many has managed expansion while avoiding the inflation pit falls. THE EXPLANATION seems to involve complex relationships. In vestment in new plants must, of course, be high. But the German experience indicates this invest ment capital must be drawn heav ily from accumulated individual savings if the currency and heij?e the economy are to be kept stable. The Germans have had i.o special magic. When they have not held savings and investment in hal aiue, or have let wages far out strip efficiency gains, inflation has hit them, too. But their good re sults when the balance is kept sug gest the problem may have an an swer. The key to it, as Mav intimates, is perhaps the individual. If we assume he really wants stability, he must know how he nipy get it. He must understand that a lat'te share of savings must so into m vt st ment for expansion. This means denying himself lheir use f r other purposes. Bui if llns r-s-onoir ran t be drawn upon, there will either be no great expansion or it will he brought olf by strongly inflationary measures. ed that the owner or one of his employees stand guard over coals hung in various places around the restaurant. The waiter's help in hanging the coat up was only a courtesy done in Ihe hope that the good will generated would mo tivate a greater generosity when Unger reached in his pocket for tip. For Fiedler to be legally boynd to pay for it there would have to be a delivery of the coat into his possession for the benefit of one or both of the parties and under a contract either express or im plied. There would have to be an obligation to return the coat upon demand. This was not the situation here. Under some circumstances the restaurant owner might have to pay for a coat that wauid be missing. For instance, had the cus tomer given the coat to a check girl who took possession of it as the agent of the owner, It would obviously be for the beneht of both the owner and the customer. IT WOULD be the same as though the owner had said, "If you come to my restaurant to eat, I promise that should you deliver your coat to the check girl, we w ill protect it and return it to you." 'Ihe acts of the parties imply such a contract which is just as effec tive as (hough the words had been spoken. On the other hand. Mr. Fiedler could not knowingly watch a thief deliberately take the coat and leave with it. He owes it to the public not to permit thieves to prey upon the customers, if he. as a reasonable man. would have cause to believe such a practice were going on. And. of course, ne could not conspire with thieves for the theft of property from the cli ents without being liable for the cos! of the property. This column is to present gen eral principles of law.

Three Cases Of Polio Are Reported In Oregon PORTLAND (AP)-Three cases of polio were reported in Oregon this week-two of them paral.Mic. Both the paralytic cases were among Portland adults, neither of whom had received Salk vaccine. The lion paralytic case was that "f a child who had been inocu lated. I'r Samuel B. Osgood, state epidemiologist, Wednesday urged adults under 40 years of age to arrange to have the series of three inoculations before Ihe polio peak season in September and October. Poho cases so far this vear have been reported in Baker. I lackamas. Douglas, Jefferson, linn. Marion and Multnomah counties, the state Board of Health reported. Among identified rases have been those with Type 1 virus, the one with which paral.Mic poho is most commonly associated. Toll Bridge Is Short Of Meeting Needed Revenue SPOKANE (AP) Spokane's new 6 million dollar Maple Street loll bridge fell far short of meet ing needed revenues for operation and debt payments in its first month of service, it was reported Wednesday. 1). B. Hedges of the stale Toll Bridge Authority said the bridge took in S1K1 a day in July while daily revenue of about S800 is needed for operation, mainten ance, debt service and other costs. He conceded volume hasn't been up to the estimates of traffic en gineers, but told a reporter: "I feel that the project is still sufficiently new that it hasn't had a fair trial. As time goes on. 1 think the traffic pattern will change somewhat nd the volume will increase." City officials said they think one reason for the low volume is that a northern one-way street ap , proach system doesn't extend far enough to lap heavily populated areas in the Northwest part of .the citv. Thev estimated it would cost $90,000 to $100,000 to extend . it The bridge, with 10-cent toll for passenger cars, crosses the Spokane Biver and connects the North Side of the city with the western edge of the downtown business district.
