Political Potpourri Voter Lane More proof that Lane County is the key tone of many campaign efforts came from the elections department this week. The county's 42.954 Democrats are nearly per cent of the state's total and nearly 34 per cent of the Fourth District's. The Republicans show nearly the same ratio, even though they fall behind the Demo-' crats in totals. As evidenced In the primary election, when there's a tight race, you often need look no further than Lane County to see who's win ning. Another factor appeared in the new regis tration totals, that Lane County was one of the few counties which increased its registra tion over the 1960 figures. This probably rep resents two things more people and more party registration activity. Vernon Meyer, Republican candidate for the state Senate from Lane County, drew names for a $100 jackpot at the Moose Lodge the other night. The winner? Vernon Meyer. Presiding? Max Gardner, Democratic wheelhorse for many years. Result? Meyer gave the hundred bucks to the lodge. All Republican candidates for county and state officers are invited to speak at a public meeting at the Booster Club building in Flor ence Monday at 8 p.m. Sponsor is the Western Lane Republican Women. The high school band will play and refreshments will be served. Mike McCloskcy, Democratic candidate for the state House from Lane County, left the Eugene airport during the storm last Friday night and left one damaged sign behind. The wind had so damaged the political sign Mike had on his little foreign car that he took it off and laid it underneath the ve hicle. On his return from San Francisco, the little sign was back on, and Mike still doesn't know who repaired it. Two Eugene council candidates have come up with ideas on how they would improve the city. Dr. Glen Purdy, Ward 3 candidate, has proposed a "citizens council" which would be representative of many of the organizations in the city. James Weaver wants the Eugene Water and Electric Board to place all the city's pow er lines underground to insure against re- ' Meeting Notices - Today EUGENE COIN CLUB will meet at 1:30 p.m. in the EWEB cafeteria.

S. Congress. On the next Friday, it will be Carl Fisher, Republican congressional candidate. Some more of Sen. Wayne Morse's cows have brought home blue ribbons, this time at the Pacific International at Portland. What a nice way to campaign. "I wasn't even there," Morse said. For a break in the campaign, we recom mend a piece in the November Ladies Home Journal called "How to Tell a Democrat from a Republican." A subtitle says the piece is to be read aloud by a Democrat tn a Republican or by a Re publican to a Democrat. It's funny. Sig Unandcr, the Republican trying to un seal incumbent Senator Morse, got a little wound up at the Chamber of Commerce Forurn Friday and almost clipped the man who had introduced him. In a passage about "the thieves and other thugs," Unandcr brought a long right arm down violently and stopped just inches short of Joe Richards' head. It almost spoiled the speech but Sig man fully plunged ahead amidst the snickers. What the candidates are saying: , Vern Hawn, GOP candidate for the joint Benton-Lane legislative district: The continual removing of property of all kinds and types from the lax roll is undermining the very sys tem which supports the public agencies which we must have, and I have in mind specifically at this time the school system of the state of Oregon. Robert Duncan. Democrat for Congress: People are our greatest natural resources and our greatest problem is to get them educated to keep us pre-eminent from the standpoint both of our national defense and our own democratic culture. Carl Fisher, Republican for Congress: My concern (over foreign policy) is that this na tion will take a weak-kneed position which will ultimately bring us into even greater danger than we now face. Mike McCloskey, Democrat for the Oregon House: There are at least 20 areas of natural resource legislation that need to be treated by new law or amendment in the next session.

That is about one-fourth of the average annual cut in the two states. Foresters, who made the pre liminary estimate ot the loss said more detailed surveys lat er may even push the figure higher. Much of the timber may be salvaged, but there is the dan ger that the blown-down trees will serve as a breeding ground for the bark beetle, which has raised havoc with Pacific North west forests in past years of windstorms. There was no accurate esti mate of money loss in the for ests, although a state report earlier said the forest damage in Oregon was around $20 mil lion.' A report from the Timber M St. Paving Hearing Set Springfield councilmcn Mon day night will conduct a public hearing on the proposed pav ing of M Street from Eighth to Ninth Street.

The council will review recommendations from the Eugene Planning Commission on 18 issues which the commission con sidered at its Oct. 2 meeting. In alj. hut two instances, the council's committee-oMhe-whole has already recommended the council unhold the commission's decisions. The exceptions: A request by Lambda Chi lo permit construction of a new i chapter bouse on the southeast corner of Kith Avenue and Pat terson Street. The planners rec ommended approval of the re quest but council members, meeting as a commitleeof-the-whole, opposed the variance. Arguments for and against the fraternity site arc expected lo be heard Monday night. A request by Edwin T. Ziniker for a change of zone from RA outer residential to CU commercial - residential for properly on the southwest cor ner of Portland Street and 2fl(h Avenue. The commission rec ommended denial of the re quest. The council's committee- of the-whole voted last Thurs day to recommend that the com mission, instead, give the matter more study. Several council members suggested the site be zoned lo R-3U garden apartment use since this zoning would still permit the applicant to con struct a medical-dental building. The council is also expected to act Monday night on a staff recommendation calling for the removal of parking on the west side of High Street between 7th nd 11th Avenues. The meeting will be at 7:30 p.m. in the council chambers at the city hall.
