Newspaper Page Textit o rial jf a There!" The News-Review, Roieburg, Ore. TUESDAY, AUGUST 13, 1963 Big Entertainment' Week Under Way What a week this is pomp; to be in Roseburg. ' ' It's Douglas County Fair week, and; at the same time, the Western Regionals of the American Legion Junior baseball pro gram is scheduled. If that isn't enough for even the most choosy entertainment seeker, , he isn't likely ever to be satisfied. The management at the Douglas Coun ty Fair has gone all out not only to please a broad spectrum of exhibitors but also to provide entertainment for thousands of fairgoers. A total of more than $25,000 in prem iums is to be awarded to exhibitors in open, Future Farmers of America '.and 4-H ' competitions. And Douglas County ; will be taking second place only to the . Oregon State Fair in the range of exhibits to be shown. No fair south of Salem can hold a candle to the one in Roseburg. Besides the usual range of exhibits in livestock, foods, baked goods, arts and crafts, etc., money competitions will be staged for both community exhibits and Grange exhibits. The community exhibits section in the last three years has become one of the focal exhibit sections because of the con siderable amount of money available for the winners. This year, the best commun ity exhibit will win $500. The money is well invested, because it goes to civic projects. And this year, the six cities tak ing part have filled the space available to them. 1 1 Another highlight among exhibit sec tions is the art department. Volunteers un der the direction of Patti White have been working for weeks preparing probably the most entrancing exhibit section ever put together1 at the fair. Most sections are merely a group of exhibits mounted on boards or laid out on tables. The art section, will be a big surprise. The entries in -the section will have to be exceptional ti draw the eye THE LIGHTER SIDE: away from the dazzling setting in which they are placed. The same is true of the garden section. Besides these highlights, a heavy' por tion of just plain entertainment is includ ed again this year at the fair. The list of special events is topped by the big Mandrake the Magician show each night. A marionette show, Shetland pony competitions, horse racing, dances, ama teur talent show, style revues and other special activities round out the five big days of the fair. Meanwhile, at Legion Field, baseball buffs will be getting their fill of the game. The first of two exhibitions was held Mon day night, and the tournament itself starts Thursday and continues through next Tuesday. All Douglas County eyes, of course, will be on the progress of Rose burg's team. It may seem that the Western Region als are being played against some mighty tough competition in Roseburg. But this is nothing new for the tournament hosts. The last time the regionals were held here, the competition was even stiff er. It was played in the wake of the Aug. 7, 1959, truck explosives blast. Despite the trag edy, turnouts for Roseburg games aver aged more than 3,000 spectators. And to to)) it off, Roseburg won. Fair Manager Bert Allenby doesn't con ider the regionals competition. He said it just provides more people to attend the fair, and it offers a chance to show out-of-state people a lot more about our coun ty and state. Now, if this big week's bill of fare doesn't satisfy all tastes, there's more. The Stewart Park Golf Association is planning a junior golf tournament, and the Umpqua Valley Tennis Association has slated a tennis tournament, both on the jam-packed weekend. If it's entertainment you want, come to Roseburg. r ; J ft I w f L 4 m The Editor's Corner By Charles V. Stanton I Portland's Multnomah Hotel Victim Of Changing Times Multnomah Hotel, Portland, we're told, has been put up for sale. It is proposed for use as a resident hotel or a re tirement manor. Long Portland's pride and one of the Pa cific Northwest's foremost convention facilities, Multnomah Hotel apparently has fallen victim to the march of prog ress. It is yielding to yet more utilitarian and modern ho tels. Only a few years ago Portland was crying for the lack of hotel accommodations to take care of visitors. It was necessary to secure hotel ' reservations long in advance if one planned a trip to Oregon's biggest city during a con vention, the Rose Festival, or some event with drawing power. News Analysis cm mm atttt. ' i By DICK WEST United Pratt International WASHINGTON (UPI) - The i hie pride of a Texan is ono of nature's strongest forces, ranking just behind the pull of gravity and just ahead of the capillary attraction of a tuberous begonia. His talent is such that a Texan can find something affirmative to say about the place where he lives, even when the odds over whelmingly favor the negative. The untrained o y c, for in stance, might not notice anything superlative about Mcrkcl, Texas, which is my old home town. Yet the citizenry there has never been without a claim of distinction. At one point they used to boast that Merkcl was the only town in the world where the popula tion was the same as the eleva tion. At that time it had 1,872 residents living 1,872 feet above sea level. Increases Slightly Unfortunately, however, the population increased slightly in the next census. Either that or the elevation sank a few feet. I forget which. At any rate the two figures no longer matched. The change was a catastrophe, civic pride-wise, and 1 wasn't certain that the town would be able to recover. So when 1 visited in Mcrkel during a recent vaca tion. 1 asked my father whether there was anything left to brag about. "Why. certainly," my father said. "This town is now the home A Modest Texan.

"If you don't believe' it you can go tulk to him yourself." Wells In Yard When I drove up to the Lipbutton home, Cassius was out in the back yard camouflaging his oil wells to make them less conspic uous, lie wore a pair of low heel boots and his hat wouldn't have held a drop more than four and a half gallons. I began the interview by com menting on the si . c of swimming pool, which was the largest one 1 had ever seen. "There's n bigger one down stale," Lipbutton protested, blush ing furiously. "It's called the Gulf of Mexico." "Are those your airplanes?" I asked, pointing to an airdrome behind the pool. "Just a few jet transports," Lipbutton said shyly. "Shucks, American Airlines has more jets than I do." "What about your ranch?" 1 asked. "Isn't it pretty big?" "Heck, no," Lipbutton said. "H ain't much bigger than Rhode Island." "You certainly have a lot of humility." I said. "No wonder they cull you the world's most modest Texan." "I usually am more humble than this," Lipbutton said aplo gcllcally, "but I've been sick." WASHINGTON (UPI) The Kennedy administration today re vamped its plan for cutting every body's income taxes. The new plan, effective next Jan. 1, would provide net reductions of $10.6 billion, phased over a two - veur period. The revised formula compares with the original plan under which individual and corporate income taxes would have been reduced about $10.3 billion, with the cuts taking effect in three stages on July 1, 1063, Jan. 1, 19114, and Jan. 1, 19115. Treasury Secretary Douglas Dillon outlined the new plan in testimony at u closed session of the House Ways & Means Com mittee. . .. The three main elements of the revised plan: Individual tax rales would ranee from 14 to 70 nor cent. his; That compares with the present schedule of 20 to 91 per cent and with the original plan to cut rates to a 14 to 05 per cent range. The tax rate on corporations would be cut to 48 per cent. That compares with the present rate of 52 per rent and the original pro posal of a 47 per cent rate. The first $25,000 of corporate income would be taxed at 23 per cent, in stead of the existing rate of 30 per cent. The original proposal would have cut this rate to 22 per cent. Revisions in the income tax structure would yield $090 mil lion in new revenue, compared with the $3.2 billion originally pro posed, jettisoning many of the original proposals.

It has recent ly erected two fine hotels, 'each with the latest of modern conven iences, eclipsing the old-fashioned Multnomah. Then there are some exceedingly attractive and handy downtown motor hotels, or, if you prefer, motels. The motel of today is rapidly becoming a multi-storied hotel in slightly different form, but with ample parking space. These downtown motels, two of! which recently have been built in ! Roseburg, are made possible, at I least in part, by the movement oft business to the outer fringe and j the subsequent "holes" in the re-1 tail district. As a town grows, the business district becomes overcrowded with cars and people. That causes de partment stores, food stores, serv ice businesses, etc., to move to shopping centers on the fringes. Then, in turn, large gaps are left in the downtown area. Property valuations arc lowered. Buildings go unoccupied and no longer pro duce revenue for owners. Thus they may be purchased at a cost lower than they would have com manded as income property. As a result we find room for motels, shopping centers, such as the Rose burg Plaza, now under construc tion, and various other changes. Portland has been through this phase in its growth. It has seen the installation of Lloyd's Center and several "gate way" shopping centers. T h c downtown district has steadily been losing its drawing power as a retail district. Yet certain busi nesses, particularly those having a special service, are finding tile les sening of congestion to he bene ficial.

Herbert Hoover, who has a vivid Court Refuses To Open School RICHMOND, Va. (UPI) - A, federal appeals court refused to day to order Prince Edward Coun ty, Va. to reopen its public schools, closed in 1959 to avoid a federal desegregation order. Today's ruling, which had been awaited for months,- said in cf- fnnt that flm Vivainin cfatn fnliHc must first rule in the involved case which had it beginning in the early 1950s and was a part of the Supreme Court's historic 1954 school desegregation ruling. It meant that the rural county, where an estimated 1,600 Negro students have had no formal edu cation training in four ytars, ap parently will begin its-fifth year without public schools next month. The appeals court ruled 2-1 in the case with Justice J. Spencer Bell dissenting. "It is tragic that since 1959 the children of Prince- Edward Coun ty have gone without formal ed ucation," Bell said in his dissent. A hearing in the case is sched uled in October before the' Vir ginia Supreme Court of appeals, the state's highest court. The federal government, which entered the case as a friend of the court, contended the school closing violated the 14th Amend ment of the U. S. Constitution. But the appeals court dismissed I the contention that the amend ment requires every slate and every school district in every stale to operate free public schools.
