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.

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.

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!" 1 cx-

"Honest injun," my father said.
"If you don't believe' it you can
go tulk to him yourself."

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. . ..

revised plan:

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.

But now Portland boasts an over
abundance of rooms. 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

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

schools.
