Government Wins Assent
-- .rt' - - n: .(-..
Douglas County is starting to blossom
. with green mats, decals and bumper
stickers which say simply: "Welcome
to Oregon."
It has joined the rest of the slate in
an increasing consciousness that Oregon
should try to become the most hospitable
state in the country. The reason: People
like to visit friendly places.
Being friendly is natural for DouglHS
County, but there's reason to think a lit
tle extra effort can pay some big divi
dends. There are the natural and fulfilling div
idends of being kind and helpful to peo
ple. But the state Tourist Information
Division and the Roseburg area Cham
ber of Commerce believe strongly that
such friendliness will also pay off in more
' tangible benefits.
Last year $217 million was spent in Ore
gon by tourists who came from other
slates. In addition, an estimated $184 mil
lion was spent by Oregonians themselves
on vacations within the state. The visit
ors from out of state stayed an average
three days in the slate.
The Travel Information Division feels
this is a good indication the state is doing
well in attracting tourists. The next
step is to keep them here longer.
It estimates that if every one of the
visitors who came to the state last year
had stayed one more day, they would
have spent another $57,383,343.
The U. S. Chamber of Commerce also
has some pretty impressive statistics
about the impact of the tourist industry
on a community.
It says that if a community can at
,ract just a couple dozen tourists a day
throughout the year, it is comparable to
acquiring a new manufacturing industry
with an annual payroll of $100,000.
The manager of the Medford Chamber
of Commerce puts it another way. He
says 100 tourist fanillies visiting the

By DICK WEST
WASHINGTON (UPU Accord-
Ing to a magazine article pub-
lishcd this week, the United
States is cxnericnclng an inven
tion explosion of even greater
magnitude than the population ex
plosion. Our old Yankee ingenuity is
aparking new ideas so fast that
the U.S. Patent Office can't keep
up with them. At last count, it
was almost 200,000 applications
behind.
To reallio how really big the
backlog is, one must consider a
alatemcnt made by Patent Com
missioner David L. Ladd in an
interview with U.S. News & World
Hcport.
Ladd said the problem could
not be solved by hiring more em
ployes. 1 never thought I'd live to ice
the day whan a bureaucrat would
make a statement like that.
Picks Up List
It shook mo up so much that
I stopped by the Patent Office
and picked up a copy of It week
ly list of new Inventions. I could
immmcdiately understand why
Ladd was fooling desperate.
During that one wock alone, his
office issued more than 000 pat
ents, the scope and variety ot
which would make your head spin
except for a few inventions that
apparently were designed to make
your head stop spinning.
Here are just a few of the de
vices that wero awarded patents
In that period:
A disposable paint brush; a
machine (or skinning fish; an ap
paratus for measuring the length
ef trousers; a retractable awning
that you can run out over your
auto's windshield when It slnrls
to rain.
A self-cleaning ash tray; a hair
brush that is grounded so that It
removes static electricity troin
hair; a serving spoon that you
can cat when you have finished
serving.
New Mousetrap
There was even a new, though
not necessarily better, mousetrap.
If my understanding ot the way
it works is correct, it lures a
mouse into a container where he
eats so much cheese he becomes
too fat to Ret back out again
I assume the mouse stays there

Now, how do we as individuals do our
part to boost that growing industry which
is becoming more and more important to
our economic lives?
The Travel Information Division points
out that, ironically, our status of having
one of the best highway systems in the
United States is one of the biggest prob
lems. It seems to lure the tourist to move
farther and faster. It works against the
desire to stop and see the wonderful
scenery and sites of interest.
The division wants to gear Oregonians
to doing the tourist a favor slowing him
down. It contends that once a tourist is
slowed down and routed to a local attrac
tion or event, he invariably is grateful
to the good host who convinced him "to
stop awhile."
This is the approach being taken by
the county with its information booth at
Charles V. Stanton Park. But it's ulti
mate benefits can only be achieved if
everyone in Douglas County is willing to
do his part in the visitor-host program.
We have plenty to "sell" the tourist.
We have sights, sounds and activities to
please practically every taste.
The green welcome signs have set the
stage to get those tourists to stop to en
joy these attractions. Our job now is to
become acquainted with our own county,
so we can answer the questions about
these attractions. We must be genuinely
courteous. If we don't know the answers
to the tourist's questions, we should di
rect him to the source of that informa
tion. By your friendly and helpful actions,
you are doing both him and yourself a
favor. He will have added to his vacation
enjoyment, and you will have helped in-

A few years ago I understood

-III The Day's News-
By FRANK
The big news today?
I reckon it's still the communist
pow-wow in Moscow.
What goes on there?
There are two angles to the news.
One is that Premier Khrushchev
is meeting with former NATO
Secretary Taiil Henri Spaak, who
a Belgian. The meeting is said
to be in the Ukraine. The Ukraine
is one of the Soviet Socialist Re
publics.
The official story is that he is
remaining far from Moscow as a
calculated SNUB to Old Mao and
his Chinese communists, who have
Readers
and would not be burden on the
taxpayer all at once, they played
hog and did it all in one big push.
That one act brought our economy
to the breaking point. Then, sec
ond, they raised most top state
salaries, plus increasing the slate
employment by 1,800 persons.
These powers did not go with the
authority for their pay hike. But
this they did, which further strain
ed an all ready overstrained
budget.
Now this advice to kill the re
ferral petitions is just some more
"liberal" philsopophy that very
neatly nullifies the conservatives'
efforts and seeks to abrogate the
citiicna' constitutional rights. If
we wait for the next legislature,
then the raises in top state salaries
will all lie in etfect, the 1.800 per
sons will be on the public pay
roll, and most of the money will
be spent, plus the legislative sal
aries being increased.
Everybody knows it Is almost
Impossible to "cut" any govern
ment spending once it is in cnVct.
However, by prompt action it is
often possible to stop proposals
Irorn becoming expenditures. Time
is of the essence and that is why
the people should use their con
stitutional privilege of referral ac
tion. It is one of the few rights of
freedom the people have left. Let's
use it, before we lose it!

to help me over a tough evening
of copyreading. The electric pow

when it is not on the wax, and is
prone to make a highly strung
gadget nervous.
But even with a regular power

play a record today. You have to
take a two-year course at M.I.T.
before they will sell you a really

for an "XAM High Fidelity Loud

flown in by two unfrocked astro
nauts. At random, I quote you
some technical terms:

"Tweeter, woofer, rumble filter,
speaker impedance switch, 50-15,-000,
cps cartridge, mode selector,
phase switch, stero preamplifier,"
plus some old-timey things like
watts and amps. 1 would delve
further but it reels the. mind.
From other information I see
that "some of the microphones
used, representing the best of all
manufacturers available, are the
RCA-44BK, Tclcfunken U-47, West
ern Electric 1142A, Altec 630B."
Furthermore, "the edited tape is
re-recorded into a master disc
from a Fail-child type machine
through Pultec equalizers and a
Mcintosh 200-watt amplifier to a
specially built cutting head mount
ed on a Scully automatic lathe."
Strictly between me and my flux
density, if you won't rat on me
to the people that hang out with
the center-pole diameters in cone
resonance headquarters, I am go
ing to lie down on my wire-wound

Bing Crosby. Old Faithful may
not have much in the way of sound-

it plays in the rain and can hit

As a boy who remembers that
you used to have to crank the
things so that Victor's fox terrier
could hear his master's voice sing
ing "Three O'clock in the Morn

gook Is as meaningless as the av
erage briefing from Washington,
and uses much the same language.
Mama didn't raise her boy to
be no electrical engineer, and I'm
too old to go back to college to
learn how to spin a record which
will play "Houn' Dawg" right back
to me. except for the scratch in
its defective surface.
My cross-over characteristic will
never bridge my gap depth, and If
they throw any more of this stuff
at me, back to radio I go, and
wreck the record industry. Play,

By Reward, Threat Tactics
Does the federal government have the right either to pun
ish or reward cooperation?
If there is disagreement with federal policies and prac
tices, is it a prop;r use of public funds to dip largess from
the pork barrel for those who sanction the disputed pol
icies while denying equal distribution to those who object?
A case in point is found in the widespread disapproval
of the administration's civilian defense program. .
There is a great fear that states, such as Oregon, refus-
ing to participate in the program, will be denied govern
ment contracts.
Consideration reportedly also is i
being given a proposal that federal
funds shall be denied states, coun-
ties or communities which dispute
the federal government's
:..:!
rights program.
Regardless of the right or the
wrong of the civil rights contro
versy, there is a great resentment
in southern states concerning hav
ing compliance forced upon them.
These states contend that the de
termination of civil rights is a
matter for the states, not the fed
eral government, and they object
to having the "law of the land'
imposed upon them by the cold
steel of bayonets. The South once
fought the world's bloodiest war,
based on ratio of casulaties to the
number of men engaged, over this
very issue.
The proposal recently has been
heard that there's to be no more
federal money spent on defense
contracts in states failing to con
cede to the federal program.
Growers Threatened
When wheat growers recently re
jected the administration's allot
ment plan, these growers were
threatened, before the referendum
with a dumping of surpluses and
a ueiiDcrate and forced reduction table. The offer was made at a
in wheat prices if they didn't con- j meeting arranjed by federal ne

A number of years ago an ef
fort was made to create a Colum
bia Valley Authority. One of the
provisions of the federal act was
the power to reward counties
which participated and to withhold
funds and aid from counties which
resisted.
But, in addition to threats and
fears of reprisal for non-cooperation,
there's reward for coopera
tion. The Neubcrgcr billboard legisla
tion, for example, provides that
those states cooperating in the

construction, by barring billboards
along Freeways, shall be reward
