4 The Newi-Review, RiW, Or. Wed'., Die. 7, I960 ' Camas Valley Is Featured This Month In Trade Publication Of Douglas Coop Camas Valley ii front and ten ter this week in the Northwest Ruralite, a trade publication of the Douglas Electric Cooperative. . It's the kind of place many a city dweller dreams about, says the publication. And It was one of the first areas served by the co operative firm more than 20 years ago. The Ruralite points out that the economy is based on the lumber industry, tourist trade, and has some ranching; and general farm ing. Unincorporated, it still boast about 1,100 residents within, t h e town's general limits, -( Romantic Viaw . ' But that's the meat and potatoes. The Ruralite fondly looks at the sky overhead and the hills beyond post office In Camas Valley, and notes: ''From Camas Lilly In mora human terms, Camas Valley is a forest-and-mountains place, a neighborly place at the side of the road away from a lot of urban trivia, the kind of place many people in this harried worm dream about." Thumbing its historical sources, (he Ruralite said that Abraham Patterson and William P. Day were the fist while settlers with donations claims of 640 acres each. Later Alston Martindale,, a bache lor, came along, and being single was entitled to but a half-section claim. He sandwiched it in be tween Patterson and Day. Later Day established the first store and New Sf at e House Minority Leader Will Have Influence In Decisions By DAN SELLARD Eueane Rtgitter-Gusrif Written for the Associated Press SALKM (AP) Tall and lanky Rep. F. F, (Monte) Montgomery, the. Lane County man elected Republican leader of the House of Representatives Saturday, would have been a prime candidate for speaker if the GOP had,, gained a majority in the House last election.' 1 '. When It appeared that a coali tion of Republicans and Demo cratic representatives would pick the speaker, much as is expected to happen in the Senate for its president, Montgomery started campaigning for the position. Politically ambitious and con sidered quite astute for a second term representative, Montgomery is a popular figure. During bis first term the 1959 sezsion of the Legislature he served as liaison oflicer between Gov. Mark Hatfield and the House Re ufalicans. He was appointed to thin job by Rep. Robert Elfstrom, Tl-Marion. whose withdrawal from the race for minority leader helped Montgomery's election chances. Because the Democratic Parly's majority in the House is only two (.11-20), the Republican side is ex pected to have large influence in House decisions. This will put. Montgomery in the driver's seat when the Democrats neea itepun lipan BMKtxtance. Like his mentor. Gov. Hatfield,' Montgomery is young and vigor- Naturalization Examiner Slates Roseburg Visits All persons seeking Information on naturalization will nave an op portunity to contact Examiner Charles J.

Montgomery is married and has three children. He is a-partner in a Eugene insurance company. A member and officer of the First Christian Church of Eugene, Montgomery went home during weekends of the 1959 Legislature to leach Sunday School. During the' summer, Monte's voice is heard at the Eugene Emeralds' baseball park he an nouncea the games. Another avo cation is bis participation in a daily publio forum radio program. What hia political future is, de pends, like all such, on how the winds blow in the next few years. His friends say that Montgomery would like some day to be. gover nor, but he might try tor secre tary of state on the way.

Revival Held Mr. and Mrs. David Godwin, the former a pastor at Dallas. Ore., conducted a three-day revival last week' at the Assembly . of God Church. Canyonville. This was a return visit for the two evangelists. Neala and Kelly Mode, daugh ters of Mr. and Mrs. Dan Moore of Gold Beach, are visiting their grandparents. Air. and Mrs. Loom is Moore, and other relatives. They will stay until Christmas, when their parents will jojn in a family celobralion. The name "Camas" comes from the Chinook word "plessant taste," meaning the Camas lily, a native plant whose onion-like roots were a staple of early-day Indians, the Ruralite reminds. Camas Valley people are proud of their schools, and last year in 1959 the high school celebrated its golden anniversary, graduating its 50th senior class. Its school paper and eight-man football team are mentioned. The school's under ' consideration for study under a private grant as a typical small U.S. high school, the Ruralite noles. Back in 1861 when the first term began, said the Ruralite. teachers frequently lost out in disciplinary scraps with the students and had to leave. Visit With Neighbors The trade publication's repre sentatives stopped and chatted a spell here and there. Service sta tion operators D. K. Dunham, Cy Differding, and C. W. Bernard (he also runs a grocery store), and Postmaster R. E. Richter (also a service station operator), and Mrs. G. T. "Ted" Heilman. who with her husband runs a combination store and cafe, were among those parsing the time of day. The Heilmans perhaps typify what the Ruralite points out about that dream. A Los Angeles manu facturer 13 years ago, Ted Heil man and his wife threw over the fog and confusion, started upcoun try for Portland, aaw Camas Val ley, and It Hen Ihey are. v After Two Years Of Tinkering, Hollywood's Getting Frightened HOLLYWOOD (AP) After two Douglas have a blazing adulter years of tinkering with movie ous affair and come out of it un morals, Hollywood is getting scored, unsiarred and unrepent scared. ant. Prostitution is treated in The film Industry is once again business-like terms in ''the World D of ! ul auzie vu"K u Duuenieiu confronted with the hobsoblin boycott. If there's anything that can create a scare with the movie makers, that's it. Hollywood faced the boycott threat in the '20s, when scandals and racy films prompted the pro ducers to hire Will Hays as puri fier. Again in the '30s, a loosening of moral attitudes in films bought public censure. This ended in a tightening of the production code, with a close liaison with clerical moralists. The measure of drift from church-favored morality was dem onstrated last week by a state ment of the Roman Catholic bishop of the United States. "A national crisis" was what the bishops called the increase of morally objectionable films from Hollywood. They called for a re form of I he "presently ineffec tive" production code. The Legion of Decency pledge to boycott in decent, immoral and unwhole some films will have added force next Sunday. On that day, faith ful ,in every Catholic church will be asked to take the pledge. The Motion Picture Association has largely ignored public reac tion to its change of moral atti tudes, for the screen. But it couldn't ignore the bishops. The producers agreed that films have been undergoing an evolution,- to "adult-oriented produc tion,". .but denied any change of moral standards. One wonders if they see their own movies. In "Strangers When We Meet," Kim Novak and Kirk Homosexuality (mures in "Spartacus" and "Suddenly, Last Summer." Producers might well argue that they are dealing in nothing new. Adultery was a theme of the Iliad and the Aeneid. There is eroticism in the Bible (Song of Solomon) and sadism in Shakespeare. The trouble is that Hollywood doesn't always treat these themes classically. The result is too often shoddy and sensational. : mi German Firm Considers Columbia River Site THE DALLES. Ore.
