man Glenn Jackson, Mcdford,
said Tuesday.
He addressed the annual

He said the Highway Depart

during the coming biennium, an
increase of $1.4 million over
the current program.
The conference delegates
were welcomed by Association
President Charles S. Collins,
Medford. Collins is executive
secretary of the Cal-Orc Recre
ational Development Assn.
Smokers Losing
Desire to Quit
LONDON (UPII British doc
tors who have conducted the
ministry of Health's first "cure
jourself of-smoking" course re
ported Wednesday that the dc-
sire to give up smoking is di
minishing. When the Royal College of
Physicians issued a report link
ing smoking with lung cancer,
many Unions gave up cigar
ettes. But doctors said Ihry have
found that the mental attitude
of smokers is slowly changing
from one of alarm to compla
cency. The typical attitude now is,
"It cannot happen to me."

"Western Europe," saya Hen
drik Brugmans, a prominent
Belgian historian, "is becoming
socially democratized. The age
old class struggle is done with.
Nobody is ready to man the bar
ricades today."
Workers who a generation
ago muttered dire threats as
they walked by the houses of
their employers now whiz by on
scooters or in Volkswagens and
apparently give class warfare a
rare thought.
"I have a TV, a washing ma
chine and a vacuum cleaner,"

that Oregon still leads the na
tion in the percentage of in
terstate freeway mileage com
pleted and opened.
The U. S. Bureau of Public
Roads credits Oregon with 65.4
per cent of its interstate sys
tern open to traffic. This was
nearly five percentage points
ahead of New York, in second
place.
There are 732 miles worth of
interstate highway planned in
Oregon. Of Inis, zub miles are
adequate for today's traffic,
with another 272 miles expected
to be ready for traffic volumes
expected in 197S.

Tax Vote Opposed
SALEM OJPD State Rep.
Richard Eymann, D-Mohawk,
says he dislikes the idea of a
statewide tax election during
the 1963 legislature to pay for
an expanded state budget. He
might be chairman of the 1963
House Tax Committee.
No such election has been
formally proposed, but Gov.
Mark Hatfield said recently he
is thinking about the possibil
ity of asking the session to call
one if additional revenue is
needed.
Eymann noted that if such an
election were held, and a pro
gram were defeated, the legis
lature might find itself faced
with dipping into earmarked
funds such as those reserved
for the Oregon Game Commis
sion to find revenue.
D.A. Takes Over

Van Hoomisscn was elected

The wing span is 41'j feet.
The width of the streets be

plane now is, and the Sunny

it is to be displayed, are only

Post Commander Kenneth
Holmes said the plane may have
to be transferred by helicopter.
"Or maybe we will have to

"only if they were very clever

Now, European universities
are seething with young men

classes of society, although, for
instance, in Germany only one
third of 1 per cent of the popu
lation attends.
In some areas, the entire con
cept of the "working class" is
dying out.

some sort used to consider him
self working class," said a mem
ber of Germany's Socialist par
ty. "Now anybody with the
slightest skill who can furnish
an apartment considers himself
middle class. The only working
class man any more is the man
with the pick and shovel."
Even street-cleaners in '-er-many
have moved up. After 20
years' service they get a title
as a "city official."
All this docs not mean that
class consciousness has disap
peared from Western Europe.
The man w!th the tilte of "Bar
on," "doctor" or "engineer"
still gets plenty of reverence
anywhere he goes in Europe.
Every official or functionary
still insists on his own office
and a battalion of protecting
secretaries.
Rich Are Richer
And while Europe's workers
are materially better off than
they ever have been, the rich
have become richer. Some econ
omists say that proportionately
their gain has been much high
er than the worker.
France's famous "Deux Cent
Families" (200 families), who
reportedly ran French industry
before the war, have lost some
of their possessions to national
ization. But those who kept
their holdings are said to be
fabulously wealthy today.
In Germany some 70 deputies
in the German Parliament are
said to be direct representatives
of the great Rhincland-Ruhr
magnates.

group. There are thousands of
new industrialists in Europe
and a new class of highly paid
industrial managers, commer
cial executives and technical
directors.
In Germany, for instance,
the number of mark million
aires (with personal property
of more than $250,000), has
doubled in the last four years
to reach 10,000.
But the rich and the new rich
have a problem: How to spend
their money in a new world
where the former luxuries of
their class now are available to
the mass of Europeans.
Solutions vary from country
to country.
French Hide Money
Many prudent Frenchmen re
portedly hide their money. Un
der French law, they can be
taxed on appearances.
"1 would never own my own
house," said a provincial French
businessman in Strasbourg. "I
rent a flat, my wife hires a
maid by the hour and I don't
put money into the bank where
the tax authorities can inspect
it."
Many Germans, on the other
hand, live it up with fancy
homes and private airplanes.
The rest of their money they
pack off to Swiss banks. Many
used to buy huge Swiss homes,
until the Swiss feared the Ger
mans were buying up their
whole country and prohibited
further purchases.

Some, having explored Africa,
the West Indies and the Canary
Islands, now have ironically
found a haven on their own
North Sea Shore, a huge nudist
colony on the island of Sylt.
Here they are called the "naked
and the rich."
Some status-seeking European
new rich try to crash the
remnants of the old aristocracy.
Considerable wire - pulling,
work and publicity and a rich
man may be able to, buy him
self a title of baron or count
in Belgium. But a new title and
new money don't always provide
entrance to the old aristocracy.
A French nobleman, with a
32nd generation title, said:
"Money alone will not give you

learn how to behave."
