The two outstanding photos
on Page 1 of this section are
from the files of the Oregon
State Highway Commission.
The one on the left depicts the
springtime magnolia blossoms
which add to the beauty of the
Oregon Statehouse group as
they frame the gold-covered
pioneer figure atop Oregon's
Capitol. The cherry- blossom
photo on the right, which
could be taken most anywhere
in western Oregon, was chosen
because of its pictorial excel
lence and because it is so typi
cally representative of the
state's' beauty.
