Eugene architects Balzhiser, Seder & Rhodes took the second, based on their design of the First National Bank's 18th and Oak Street branch in Eugene. At Awards Banquet The awards were presented at the chapter's annual awards banquet, attended by an esti mated 60 persons. Six firms were entered in the competition this year. They submitted a tO' tal of 14 projects ranging from commercial to residential struc tures. An Honor-Awards Jury of three out-of-state architects judged the entries during many hours of viewing color slides of the buildings, and in many cases visiting the sites. The Southwest Oregon chapter takes in an area from Albany to Med- ford and Klamath Falls and from Bend to the Coast.

That issue and others were considered at the second weekly Legislative Forum of the year sponsored jointly by the Eugene and Springfield Chambers of Commerce. About 80 persons at tended the session. Attending Saturday's forum were Sens. Ed Fadelcy, DEu genc; Donald Husband, R-Eugene, and Glen Stadler, D-Spring-field and Rep. Richard Eyemann, D-Mohawk; Ed Elder, R-Eu-gene, Richard Kennedy, D-Eugene, and Veola Wilmot, D-Eu-Rene, Lano County's other two representatives, F. F. "Monte" Montgomery, R-Eugcnc and Gene Hulctt, D-Eugcne, cwre not present. All three state senators expressed varying degrees o oppo sition to the proposal to increase legislative salaries. Tho bill, which was passed last week by tho House of Representatives, Is now up for a voto In the Senate. Said Stadler: "1 propose to vote against the salary bill." Ho added that he docs not consider the proposed $250 a month salary and $20 a day in expenses too much to pay legislators, "although my preference would bo for $150 a month plus $15 a day expenses to start with, and with perhaps step increases. "Tho timing is what I object to," he said. Fadelcy said ho was inclined to agree with Stadler. "Tho timing seems rather rapid," ne said, "and the proposal comes at a time when the Legislature is looking for new sources of revenue." Fadcley said that during the last campaign ho committed' himself publicly to a salary increase for legislators lower than the present bill. "I'm a stubborn fellow," he said, "and I'll atick with it." Said Husband: "There should always bo a substantial amount of servlco in public service." Tho amount of a legis lator's salary should not be so high as to make holding political office appear more Important than efforts given to public service, ho said. Husband added, however, that "if anybody is overpaid (In state government) it is the private secretaries." Husband said many stato legislators employ their wives as secretaries, who receive salaries of $510 a month on tho basis of $17 a day for seven days a week. Mrs. Wilmot answered that she considered the salary meas ure as "fair," and added, "I do know there will be recon sideration of the secretaries' pay when the (legislators') sal- 1 cry issue has been settled." Kennedy said he believes the proposed salary increases should be adopted. Ho pointed out that many legislators do not stop working at the conclusion of a session, but continue serving as members of interim committees throughout much of the year. Eymann remarked that Lane County's entire ninc mcm ber state legislative delegation is paid an amount in salary and expenses equal to what it costs to provide for just one congressman at Washington. Elder, one of 18 representatives who voted against the salary proposal in the House last week (41 representatives voted for it) said his main reason for opposing it is because "it is too high." He said, "It cost me just $2,400 to serve at the last Legislature, and this time I'll have some spare money." On the matter ot constitutional revision, Mrs. Wilmot, Stadler, Elder and Husband all had views to express. "I anticipate a real struggle getting it through the (con stitutional revision) committee." Mrs. Wilmot said. Stadler contended that the state Constitution is due for revision. The present document, he said, contains amendments which control the "sport of dueling." And ten years ago, he said, the voters passed a "liquor-bythcdrlnk" amendment. It shares the same authority in the Constitution as freedom of speech, Stadler said. Of the proposed new constitution, Husband declared it to be "a good document, and one that should go through (tho Legislature) as a whole" before being passed on to the state's voters. He said, however, he expects amendments to be made to it before it gains approval. Elder expressed confidence in the proposed new consti tution's ability to gain approval of both the House and the Senate. "1 think they can rework this thing and come up with something that the Legislature can submit to the voters," he said. firm of Kirk, Wallace & McKinley. Rockrise was high' in his praise of Thurston High bcftool's design for its "simo e elegance and its strong architec tural statement." It has, he said, "a highly unified quality," with the various units linked by cov ered walkways and sharing a common courtyard. Rockrise called the $9.70-oer- square-foot construction cost of the $1.2 million high school "fabulously low." The First National Bank, de signed by - Balhiser, Seder h Rhodes, also was lauded by the judges for its many artistic de tails, ine building features maximum use of glass surround ing the banking area. The vault and service areas are housed in a contrasting "masonry block," with the only openings deeply recessed into the ends of that block. Fairview Home Wilmsen, Endicott & Un- thank's second award was re ceived for that firm's design of two buildings at Fairview Home. The buildings, according to the judges, met requirements of the specialized treatment of the institution for the training of patients prior to their release back to society. The buildings, constructed at a cost of $127,000, were designed to aid patients establish a con tact with a more normal envir onment," according to the judges. . Dean Morris, with the firm of Morin & Longwood, served as chairman of a three-man Hon ors - Awards committee, which arranged for the judging and awards banquet. Freeze Eases In Europe LONDON Wl The tempera ture rose almost everywhere in Europe Saturday and the death toll from a prolonged cold streak rose with it. Weather forecasters were un certain if the break in the 36- day ice age would last. Europe remained buried under a vast accumulation of ico and snow. The latest tally put the num ber of winter victims at more than 300112 of them In Brit ain. Figures for other coun tries included: Yugoslavia 39, Italy 30, Spain 30, Greece 22, Holland 20, Belgium 18, West Germany 32, Turkey 7, France 4, Sweden 4, Austria 6, Norway 3, Luxembourg 1. There were no figures from behind the Iron Curtain. But in Japan, where the snow accumulations was at an all time high in 77 years of record keeping, blizzards killed 37. Most of the casualties were from avalanches and the col lapse of wooden houses buried by as much as 10 feet of snow. Snow has been falling in west ern Japan for 16 days, and 2,400 passengers were removed from snowbound trains Saturday. UO Republicans Oppose Pay Hike The University of Oregon Young Republicans said Satur day they are against the pro posed salary incrcaso for state legislators. The State House of Represen tatives last week approved the proposed measure 41-18, and sent it to the Senate. The bill would increase each legislator's salary to $3,000 a year plus $20 a day for expenses the first 120 days of each session. The UO group, headed by Tom Hoyt, chairman, has adopt ed a resolution declaring that should the salary increase be adopted, "elected officials in the future will be rewarded with the excessive sum of $8, 400 a biennium." 181 t irrfS I SI r, t, ' v 1 left all ' mi i u if flwwmw i r JFi ftjfforffi kirn f il l I MiCM llrjfftA i ;ym - mm u r vi vr-vs iv.; :: Jp "yiw-.- t- . .. . .rtf iir T7 iff 'u specitd subjects; super savings for a memorable school holUUuj! 12 ways to make your holiday pay! special purchase finds and limited-quantity items, all best buys, while they last!
