Crowth Planning Should Be Stepped Up
Not loiiu ago. a wom.ui came to The
News-Review with a disheartening story
about her tfamily'n difficulties in selling
their hou.se.
It seem she and her husband had es
tablished a home and developed it on a
hill along the North Umpqua Highway.
Since then, someone else has set up a
junk yard below the house. Because the
yard is located below the house, even a
fence cannot screen it from view.
The panorama of discarded cars and
assorted junk is the first thing to meet
prospective buyers' eyes. This is appar
ently enough to kill any sale.
IS ven more recently, people in the
Keasey-Calkins Road area have been
talking about u, petition to restrict a spurt
of home construction because they fear
it will cause a sanitary problem. The
area is served by septic tanks.
These are problems of growth which
have been with the county in increasing
degrees for the last 20 years. Growth is
what we want. But n community's growth
can lie painful. The two instances cited
above are examples of that painful proc
ess. There's a way to alleviate these grow
ing pains however, and to match its rate
of growth, this method of orderly expan
sion should be exploited more fully.
The two components of this orderly
growth' are zoning and enforced building
codes.
These are not new terms to many res
idents of the county.
About a decade ago, the county start
ed with high hopes to establish both coun
ty - wide zoning and a comparatively
strong building code.
A small but vociferous opposition
group with most of its strength in the
Green area turned its verbal guns on the
county building department and Planning
Commission. Their efforts were success
ful. The building department was dis
banded and the Planning Commission
membership was replaced. Any teeth in
planning activities were extracted.
The County Court decided that the
commission would be retained, with the
assistance of a planning coordinator. Nei
ther was given any appreciable powers to
guide orderly development. The court
reasoned, justifiably, this action would
retain a base for future additions of pow
ers for planned development, while allow
ing people to get used to the idea plan
ning was necessary.
It would seem the past several years
of comparative inactivity in planning on
the county level should have cooled heat
ed tempers. Meanwhile, growth has con
tinued helter skelter. Time is being lost,
and the difficulties are becoming more
acute. Growth will be easier if we meet
the problem of rapid growth before it gets
out of hand.
Fairgrounds Was Busy Place
Last weekend demonstrated beyond a
doubt that the Douglas County Fair
grounds is the activity center of the coun
ty at other than fair time. Fair Manager
Bert Allenby has worked tirelessly to
make the greatest possible use of the fair
grounds to take advantage of the consid
erable investment involved. He and the
fair board reason the investment is loo
great to limit its use to a four or five-day
fair.
It was used to its fullest Saturday and
Sunday. Going on almost simultaneously
were the Oregon Appaloosa Horse Show,
the Umpqua Kennel Club's big dog show,
the Shrine Circus and the Southwest Ore
gon Ram Sale.
These efforts to secure greater use de
serve high commendation.
THE LIGHTER SIDE:
Ml
Cameras
Security
Appease
Symbol
The Almanac
By DICK WEST
BlIiD-lN-IIANB, I'a. (Ul'l) -
Picture taking litis come to he
regarded as one of mankind's four
fundamental motivations, milking
just behind on ling, sleeping and
sex.
Ill some precincts, it has forged
ahead of sex.
The snapshot urge shows up
must strongly in tiie American
tourist, who can be Instantly
identified by the cameru that dan
files from a strap around his
neck.
The camera is his badge, bis
escutcheon, his caste mark, his
elk's tooth, bis security symbol.
He feels it is n part of him, and
eventually it will be.
It is only a question of time
until the process of evolution in
corporates this function into the
bodily mechanism and each per
son will be born with n camera
growing out of bis chest.
Cultivated Interest
I cultivated an interest in the
anthropological aspects of ama
teur photography during many
years of observing tourists in
Washington, D.C., where I work.
The tourists there arc fond of
standing in tbo middle of the
street to snap pictures of monu
ments and such. In driving to the
capital each morning, t usually
arrived with at least alio tourist
draped over a front fender. The
bag limit is four.
It was my interest in the sub
1eel that brought me to Hird-ln-
lland. This village m the neari oi
the Pennsylvania Hutch country is
the scene of an interesting con
flict between the tourist and the
Amisll.
The Amisb are one of the groups
of "I'loin People" that inhabit
Lancaster County, for religious
reasons they still use the horse-
try to ignore the Invasion.
It is, however, against their re
ligion to permit themselves to be
photographed, and a tourist with
a camera is not easily ignored.
Thus has been created the clas
sic case of an irresistible force
(tourist with camera) confronted
with an irresistible subject (the
picturesque Amisll).
I would like to report that the
tourist has at last met his match
and is being compelled to retire
from the field with shutter un-
snapped and film unexposed.
Hut the Amish arc vulnerable
to long-range lens and there are
signs that camera shyness is
abating in the younger generation.

DISARM CUBA MILITIA
WASHINGTON ( L'Pl ) The Citi

said Sunday that a refugee had
reported Soviet troops are contin

prevent a possible uprising.
The organization quoted Juan
Francisco Guerra, 33, an electri

from Cuba. Guerra said Soviet
officials feared Cuban soldiers
would join with revolutionaries in
event of a popular revolt.

County Needs Scenic Loops To Attract Paying Tourists
To The Editor
Michigan was a lumber stale
Oregon is a lumber stale.
Michigan had a similar potential
at the lime of its settlement as
Oregon. A potential of lumber, wa
ter resources, recreation and min
ing. While Michigan's main growth
was several decades earlier, its
development seemed to run quite
parallel, up to a point, to lh.it of
Oregon and its study seems rather
instructive.
Michigan's lumber was while
pine, also hardwoods and pulpwood.
In 1870, Michigan became the na
