Oregon's 1966 87 studded tire
season will begin a week early, al
though Highway Division officials
hope motorists won't use the de
vices unless they are absolutely
necessary because of the damage
they cause
Meeting in Gresham Tuesday, the
Oregon Transportation Commission
approved State Highway Engineer
Larry Rulien's recommendation that
this year's studded tire season begin
Oct 25 rather than Nov 1.
Rulien explained that the earlier
date will permit studded tire use by
elk hunters if weather conditions
warrant
Normally, studded tires
must be removed by April 30 State
law gives the commission authority
to shorten or lengthen the season

"There's nothing to do in this old deed city, especially on this side of
town," said the lady as she plopped down in the chair across from me with
a look of total disgust distorting her normally attractive features I looked
at her and smiled, this being the umpteenth person I'd heard make this very
same statement, word lor word
Ironically, this same person claims to be a blues lover (Oh, God, how she
loves the bluest I, but, strangely enough, when The Norman Sylvester Blues
Band appeared two weeks ago at The Royal Esquire, her pretty face was
nowhere to be seen But. not to worry, neither were the scores of other
psuedo blues lovers, alt of them singing the same sorry tune
"I'm not going downtown to see no Cool R, Calvin Walker or who ever
the heck is playing down there I hate looking for a parking space, the
drinks are too high and I don't like the way I'm treated down there," says
my partner But when Cool 'R was at the Eldorado, he was upset because
there was a cover charge and apparently from the attendance on the se
cond night of their weekend engagement, there were others that felt the
same.
On to case number three
. In the Old Days there used to be jazz all up
and down Union. Nowadays the clubs have DJs playing that rappa dappa
do stuff all night long Boom, boom, boom all night long, same old beat
But on Sundays when |azz was offered both up and down Union, I failed to
see his presence grace the clubs offering "his kinda music” . I'm sick, s»ck,
s»ck of this city's procrastinators talking enough hot air to change our nor
mally wet climate permanently Club owners are a very receptive bunch,
because, after all. without you they don't have a chance
I ask you now to put yourself in their place After listening to the moan
ing and groaning of the patrons, imagine digging deep into the old pocket
and booking a band that plays the music that everyone says they want to
hear You proudly inform your cliente), "Guess what, you'll never guess
who's playing here in two weeksl" You take out ads in the newspapers to
inform the rest of the community, and then on the night that everyone says
they wore waiting for. the band plays their heart out to an audience of
mostly tables and chairs
You may think this is humorous, but. people, let me inform you that this
scenario is a real one that repeats itself more than any of us will ever really
know As a result, there is less and less of a variety of entertainment and,
eventually, less and less of a choice of places to go It takes money to run
clubs and very few club owners are millionaires
When a club is offering entertainment of the type you like (not necessan
ly the group). bust your behind to be there and support it Tell the club
owner who you d like to really hear You d be surprised what they will do
when they feel they have some support Most times, they only want to
break even, so don't grumblq about the charge |ust pay it with a smile;
eat, drink, and he merry You re making the difference
So many times we talk about this city and that city, and how it lumps,
and who we saw there That's find and dandy After paying air fare and
hotel accomodations, you deserve to have a good time But know this,
if you'd spend some of that hard earned cash at home, from the local bar
to the concert hall you can make it happen right here Wake up, Portland,
Oregon, and put your money wfiere your mouth is Watch out Las Vegas?
