Car-washers donate profits
to fight $3 trillion deficit
EUGENE (Al'J Seven friends held a nolghliorhood car wash
Sunday and raised S101 lo help pay off the nation's deficit of more
than S3 trillion.
The seven call themselves JOYS, short for Just One Year's Salary,
whic h they estimate is whut each American would have to pay to
erase the federal debt And they're sending a message to Washing
ton; It's time to reduce the deficit.
They say sometime this week, their S101 will bo sent to U S.
Kep l’eter DeFazio. D-Ore , with a request to deposit it against the
nation's debt, 53.86 trillion and growing
"At first we wanted to get rid of the deficit all at once but we
weren't sure how every citizen would react to giving up an entire
year's wages, so we decided to start a little smaller." organizer Rob
Komig said
Komlg's assembly line of hoses, buckets and sponges serviced 27
cars Sunday in a bank parking lot Most customers told the group
they were glad to sec someone taking action. A few complained
about a missed spot or two.
"Hoy, it's a start," said Komig, who calculated the contribution
represents 000000000025 percent of the national debt.
The real point is to raise awareness and lest lawmakers know that
they c an't ignore the problem, Komig said

promote the region as a tourist
attraction.
County commissioner Jerry
Rust said the tax increase,
which was first proposed by
tour ism-rein ted businesses,
would benefit both the county
and local industry
"It's u win-win position for
tlie county," Rust said. "We gel
to be on the same team with
business, which doesn't hap
pen that often '
Allen Lonstron. general man
ager of tfur Eugene Hilton, said
the tax hike would provide an
important boost lor Lane Coun
ty's tourism industry
“We're at a stage of develop
ment in the visitor industry in
Eugene where it's starting to
work real well," Lonstron said.
The room tax generates about
S2 5 million each year for the
maintenance and promotion of
local iourisl draws. It is as
sessed as u surcharge on hotel
and motel rentals.
Rust said the 2-percent in
crease could generate an addi

tIona I $740,000 for marketing
and promotion
Thr proposal Is intended to
shift much of the responsibility
for promoting the tourism in
dustry from cities to tho coun
ty. The current 7 percent lax
is divided between the two gov
erning bodies, with most of the
money returning to the cities.
All of the 2-percent Increase
would go to county coffers
Tho county funds would be
used to expand the Eugene
Springfiold Visitors and Con
vention Bureau, which is the
sole promoter of Lano County
tourism The increased county
role in the bureau would free
up a Unit $230,000 for Eugene
Backers of the ordinance
change would like that money
to go toward paying off some of
the Hull Center's deficit, which
now stand: at alxiut $400,000
Kust said Eugene taxpayers
will have to pay off the deficit
if additional money Is not
found elsewhere
"This would take tho burden
off of Eugene taxpayers," Kust
said. "It would regionalize
some of this deficit."

tainment from last month’s
Country Fair.
“We knew from that we
had the capability,'' Barton
said "We didn’t really think
it would actually work out.
but we figured we’d give it a
try "
Members of the Kosey
family, working with tho
band and helping promote it
locally, gave their OK for tho
broadcast when the shows
sold out. Burton said, with
the hope that live broadcasts
would quell crowds that
might otherwise be gathering
outside the concert area.
The band is covering the
cost of the satellite linkup
and personnel needed for
the broadcast. Burton said
the original estimate of cost
to tho station was S3,000,
but several underwriters
have absorbed much of the
expense.
The broadcast begins
around 1 p.m. both Saturday
and Sunday and continues
through the end of each per
formance. Other festivities
from the Third Decadonal
Field Trip may air as well.
Tho bund previously per
formed in Venela in 1972
and 1982 before moving its
performances to tho Univer
sity's Autzen Stadium. How
ever, two years ago. Univer
sity administrators an
nounced the Dead would not
be invited back because of
perceived problems with
drug use by Dead Hoads,
fans who travel along with
the band.
Tho decision was reversed
last year, but the (wind chose
instead to perform at the
Veneta site this year.
The live broadcast is being
