(News-Review photos) Southern Oregon Fabricators, an outfit which manufactures com ponent parts for homes and other buildings, is being saluted by the Roseburg area Chamber of Com merce as the industry of the month lor beptember. The business, located at 141 Sherry St., in Winston, is owned by a partnership consisting of Newell Howard and Walter Nuck olls. It was started in 1961 and has shown steady growth. The in dustry is the type which shows potential for future expansion, and was chosen as the "payroll build er" which the chamber is promo ting in an effort to stabilize local economy. The industry does not go into complete prefabrication of homes, but limits its work to outside and inside sheathed walls, partitions (including openings for doors and windows, and doors with frames and hardware fitted), roof trusses and preliminary drawings as dis tinguished from prefabrication. Kindred Interest The business was started when Howard and Nuckolls found they had kindred interest, and experi ence to go with the equipment each had and the location to set up this enterprise. Howard has been operator of a building supply business, including commercial refrigeration and store fixtures, merchandising and retail sales. Nuckolls has been a build ing contractor for homes, apart ments, motels, barns, and so on. The business started small, with first year sales about $50,000, swelled to around $200,000 the sec ond year. The number of employes ranged from two to three the first year and nine the second year and a payroll ranging up to $100,000. The industry is housed in a frame building with 6,400 square feet of space and a loading dock 60 by 16 feet. The owners include in their service area places they can reach by truck, from Eugene to Medford and way points. They have their own truck and trailer for deliver ies. Supplies from local lumber and plywood manufacturers are mostly hauled by the same equipment. Since output of the firm is dif ficult to display, there will be no displays as such around town as there has been 111 connection with some of the other payroll builders, for Roseburg. Recognition will be largely by newspaper and air me dia, and a picture display in the office of Pacific Power & Light Co.

"ln-i Maximum Highway .Truck Use Eyed The Oregon State Highway De partment is undertaking a highway classification study which will de termine maximum possible use of highways by the trucking industry, according to Forrest Cooper, state highway engineer. Some of the state's older high ways have sharp curves which can not be negotiated by the largest size trucks without crossing over the center stripe. For this reason, many of these older highways aro restricted to trucks of shorter length. A three-unit caravan will make the study. TI10 pilot car of the caravan warns the other two ve hicles of oncoming traffic with its two-way radio or stops the traf fic when necessary. A bright red 40-foot semi-trailer follows the pilot car and tests curves in the road. The operator in the observation car behind the truck takes movies of the turn and voice-records some of the data. Some still pictures arc also taken. If the semi's wheels cross the center line, it is record ed by the movie camera. The classification study will pin point the trouble spots, and a mod est program of betterment will be undertaken. In some cases, minor improvement of a very few Isola ted cases will permit reclassifica tion of a highway to a standard permitting longer loads. This infor mation will be made availablo to the trucking industry. Previously somo 55 per cent, or 4,100 miles, of highway had been classified. There is no problem with the interstate highways as they will take any legal-size truck. When the remaining 45 per cent, or 3,400 miles, of primary and sec ondary highways arc test run, the Highway Department will have a complete Inventory of its roads and the sections that need improving, Cooper said. 12,925 Workers In Non-Farming Businesses Earn Taxable Wages About 12,925 workers in Douglas County's non-farming businesses earned taxable wages under the old-age, survivors and disability insurance program, according to the latest edition of County Busi ness Patterns, Dean O. Haley, So cial Security district manager in Eugene reports. He said 1,210 reporting units of employers of non-farm employees covered under the program paid out some $15,241,000 in taxable wages in the county during the first quarter of 1962. The report shows 24 of the employing units reported 100 or more workers each at that time. The largest propor tion of employment, 6,838 workers, was in manufacturing, with 6,484 Calif ornian Buys Superette Store Ernest Kinder of Vista, Calif., has purchased the Superette gro cery and market in Canyonville. Kinder, a former California super market cnain executive, was co- founder and executive vice presi dent of the Buy and Save chain in San Diego County.

The current edition of "County Business Patterns" is the tenth in a scries showing county and in dustry statistics based on wage reports filed under the Federal so cial security program. This edition is divided into ten parts (15 books), one for the United States as a whole and one for each of nine geographic divisions. The data is uniform and coin- parabls from state to state and county to county and is shown for many kinds of businesses under the following broad industry groups: agricultural services, for estry and fisheries; mining; con tract construction; manufacturing; public utilities; wholesale trade; retail trade; finance, insurance and real estate; and services. The publication shows how many people work, where and in what industries, and how much they are paid in taxable earnings. In addi tion to its use in administering the Social Security program, the pub lication is valuable to businessmen in analyzing market potentials and establishing advertising and sales programs, in analyzing the indiis trail structure of regional areas, and in making base economic stud ies of small areas. Reference copies of County Busi ness Patterns may be examined at field offices of the U. S. De partment of Commerce, at district offices of the Social Security Ad ministration, and at many public libraries. 8 The News-Review, Roseburg, Ore.
