Raw material is another prob lem. Mrs. West imports her plain china from England, but supplies have been limited and other sourc es are being sought. Problems of production speedup such as pack aging to reduce overhead are also being studied. The business was atartcd when Mrs. West attempted to find a sou venir plate for the Umpqua Hotel.

U.S. Traffic Jam Regarded As 'Yardstick' For Economy NEWLYWEOS LOSE BED LONDON (VP!) - Newlyweds Barry and Maureen Slater went out today to find a bed after spending their wedding night on the floor. The couple's bed. a gift from Barry's parents, was delivered when no one was home and left in the backyard beside a discard ed bath tub left for rubbish men. The rubbish collectors took the bed and left the tub. "It has all been very embar rassing," said the bride. manager of Roseburg Skyways, pointed out that while still relative ly small, the list of women pilots in Roseburg is growing steadily Good added that many of the lo- cal women are turning into top flight pilots. Comparing the woman flier with her male counterpart, Good said the gals generally strive more for perfection. When a man bounces a landing a little," Good said as an example, "he just shrugs it off and figures the next time around it'll be better. But, when a wom an does something like this, she'll go right around again and keep practicing until she gets it down perfectly." This stronger desire for perfec tion usually amounts to a woman taking a few hours more time in lessons than a man before she s ready to solo. Roseburg Skyways notes men in the Roseburg area who have obtained their licenses generally take about eight hours of lessons before they're ready to solo while the women have taken about 10 hours. The greatest amount of interest on the part of women fliers has been shown by ladies whose hus bands are pilots, Good noted. In cluded in the list of women who have received their private licens es at Roseburg Skyways are Good's wife, Bonnie, Mrs. Bruce (Man ann Carter) and Mrs. Forrest (Hope) McKay. Those having student licenses in clude Marigold Krear, Mrs. Joe (Gerry) Dent. Mrs. Dale (Rea) All red, Mrs. Ben (Margaret) Glan ville. Mrs. Luther (Rose) Kllison and Mrs. Gene (Shirley) Metlor. NEW YORK (UPI) The bump-er-lo-bumper stream of autos clog ging the nation's highways this Memorial holiday weekend will produce tragedy, exasperation and frustration, but it represents a way of life that has made America's economy the envy of of the world. As tha auto industry goes so goes the economy may be over stating the case, but it is becom ing increasingly evident that what is good for that industry is good for the country. Within this context the state ment this week by General Mo tors Chairman Frederic Donner that sales of 7 million cars a year has become "the normal yardstick" for the auto industry certainly bodes well for the future business outlook. Sales Climbing Going one step farther GM's President John Gordon recently slated: "We could be looking at a situation not long from now when 8 or 9 million car sales a year will be normal." Meanwhile, mid-May auto sales tooled along at an annual rate of nearly 7,500,000, which would, if sustained, crack the 1935 record. But most auto officials will gladly settle for the 7 million figure com pared with 6,900,00 last year. Detroit's performance was re flected in steel mill output last week which climbed for the third consecutive week to the highest If Your Paper Hat Not Arrived By 6:15 P.M. Dial OR 2-3321 Between 6 & 7 P.M. level since mid-March 1960. Pro duction totaled 2,626,00 tons, up 0.8 per cent from the prior week. The increase lifted production so far this year ahead of the 1962 pace for the first time. : Mill officials said, however, that ' incoming orders are under the j April peak because users have ! placed most of their stockpiling ! orders against the possibility of a strike. Efforts to reach an accord in preliminary steel labor talks ! are coming down to the wire. j Youngstown Competts j In another steel development, the seventh-ranked steel company, Youngstown Sheet St Tube, an-! nounced it is jumping into the ; competitive battle for a larger share of the Midwest steel mar- i ket. The steelmaker said it would build an $80 million sheet mill in the Chicago district. U. S. Steel, Bethlehem, Inland and National have already committed sizable sums to expand in the nation's largest consuming region. Machine tool orders a tipoff to expectations of future factory ac tivityremained brisk in April rising nearly 30 per cent over the same month last year. The mark edly improved trend has been in evidence since January and some industry officials are confident it will continue through most of the year. ft m ' , v '. ,l( v 'Sua RALPH L.
