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

Democratic candidate for the U. 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.

at least 3,027.000.000 board feet
o( Oregon and Washington for-!

That is about one-fourth of
the average annual cut in the
two states.
Foresters, who made the pre

said more detailed surveys lat

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

Zoning Issues Fill
Council's Agenda
Public hearings on zoning issues are expected to take up much
of the time at the Eugene City Council meeting Monday night.
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
