By DAN SELLARD or the RegisterGuard SALEM (Special) For Lane County's F. F. "Monte" Montgomery, midway in his third session of the House of Representatives, every day at the Legislature is a long and hard one. It starts at 8 a.m. and con tinues until well into the night and it entails his reg ular duties as a legislator plus the workload of being the House minority (Repub lican) leader. Just one segment of his activity vice chairman of the House Taxation Commit tee is a full-sized job, but Monte takes this in stride and fulfills his many other func tions, too. His popularity with mem bers of the House is unques tioned; had two more Repub licans been elected to the House last fall, he would have been speaker. His influence is large. One of his major respon sibilities is the liaison be tween the governor's office and the House. The governor's message to the Legislature has been translanted into legislation and Montgomery is "riding herd" on the many bills. He meets with the governor every Tuesday, conducts i caucus of House Republicans Thursday mornings and has three 8 a.m. meetings plus two 7 p.m. taxation meetings each week. "I'm here at 7 am. just about every morning." he re ports. Montgomery thinks this Legislature is made up of ton scientous. hard-working mem bers. "It is the most diligent session I've served with." This diligence, he believes, accounts (or the lower num ber of bills being passed by states and southern Florida. In the Northwest, snow is predicted tonight for the higher elevations of the Cascades, with showers due in the valleys. Colder temperatures are due tonight in the northern Plains, with warmer tempera tures forecast for the East.

Gillespie Funeral Tuesday A funeral service will be held Tuesday for Jacob Henry Gil lespie of Cheshire, a 93-year-old retired farmer who died Friday. Gillespie died at a Eugene rest home, wbcre he had been a patient for a short time. He was born Feb. 6, 1870, in Joncsboro, Ind., and had lived at Star Route, Cheshire, since 1949. Survivors include his wife Minnie of Eugene, and a son Orville of Cheshire. A grave side service will be at 11 a.m. Tuesday at the Junction City I.O.O.F. Cemetery. Long and Full the House. Committees are. giving legislation a more-thorough going-over than in the past and this leaves many bills tabled or put in the de ferred file. "Many constituents don't realize," he said, "that a prime function of a Legisla ture is the refusal to let bad, or unnecessary bills be en acted into law." His service on the House Taxation Committee, which (Second of a series of nine) is chairmanned by another Lane County legislator. Rep. Richard Eymann, D-Marcola. has given Montgomery a close insight into financial problems borne by Oregon. "I've cooled off on the idea of a cigarette tax." he re ported. "It should only be con sidered as X means of col lecting about $18 million we are going to have to have, but it isn't the good idea I thought it was before." However, he sees no other way of raising the $18 million. His own tax desires are for the net-receipts package pro posed by the governor and he defends it as "broadening the base to include some of those 25 per cent who file state ments but don't have to pay any taxes; providing greater Fluoridation Test Successful By A. ROBERT SMITH Register-Guard Washington Correspondent WASHINGTON (Special) Dramatic evidence of the effec tiveness of fluoridation in sharp ly reducing tooth decay has been revealed here by city officials of the nation s capital. The program for chemically treating the Washington, D.C., drinking water supply lias cut dental decay rates by more than half since it began over 10 years ago in June, 1952. This finding was based on the largest and longest area study yet made to determine the con sequence of adding sodium sill- cofluoride to the water supply. It is based on dental examina tions of more than 1V4 million youngsters in the public and parochial schools, according to Dr. A. Harry Ostrow, chief of the District of Columbia Health Department's Bureau of Dental Health. The question of adopting a fluoridation program has been a hot issue in numerous Oregon cities during this same decade. Inflammatory campaigns against fluoridation have been waged in many communities, often by per sons who charged that it repre sented an insidious effort to poison the American population. Plans of officials in many cities have been blocked by such prop aganda campaigns when the is sue was put to a vote of local citizens. Because the citizens living in Washington, D.C., have not in many years been permitted to vote, the issue has never been IP Fir Chips Facility to Be Ready Soon GARDINER Facilities for receiving Douglas fir chips at International Paper Company's pulp plant will be ready by the end of the month, according to David Wootton, construction superintendent of the new operation being built here. Wootton said IP will begin buying chips from outside sources when the facility, a chain and belt conveyer sys tem, begins operation. Currently chips are being stockpiled from the plywood mill. The raw material will be dumped from trucks and rail road cars and blown from the conveyor either directly to the plant or the reserve pile. Wootton also discussed the two dams the company will build on the outlets of Siltcoos and Tahkenitch Lakes. He said the Siltcoos structure, to be lo cated west of the highway, will stabilize the lake level between eight feet (winter) and five feet (summer). Fluctuation of Tahkenitch will be between 15 and eight feet, when the dam is operating. Wootton said work was going ahead on schedule although the storm which raked the coastal area Thursday and Friday brought a virtual halt to con struction activities those days. equity, including giving the single person a better shake; and giving greater simplicity." He thinks the deduction for federal taxes should and will be removed. ' Another committee, besides taxation, which Montgomery has in his work schedule is elections. Here, he finds Interest in "helping making it easier for people to vote" but says the committee is not working on much "sweeping reform." A self-imposed duty for him is being a "friend and backer" of the University of Oregon. He devotes considerable time and energy to the university's legislative affairs. He belives that the higher education budget recom mended by the governor will pass through the Legislature with little change and that a bonding program will be set up for building campus struc tures. Other desires Montgomery has are a fourth circuit judge for Lane County, creation of a State Department of Com merce, and some property tax relief for senior citizens. So it's i big session for lanky, blue -suited Monte Montgomery, a moderate whose influence is large in these deliberative halls. 9 im 10-Year Program Studied one for the local water users to decide in a referendum. It was adopted by city officials after various U.S. Public Health Serv ice reports and investigations indicated that dental health among children wouiu improve with fluoridation. Before the program was launched in 1952, all school chil dren were examined to deter mine the prevalence of decayed, missing and filled teeth. Simi-. Workers Seek Vote On Hospital Plan A group of workers at the Vaughn mill of International Paper Co. plans to continue its fight to get another vote on hospital coverage, despite the fact that the deadline for re opening the contract is Monday midnight. Eugene attorney Charles O. Porter, spokesman for the work ers who want a new contract, said Friday the men still hope to get the matter before the entire union and "will face the problem of the deadline later." Porter filed a petition in Lane County Circuit Court last week, attempting to gain a court order for a new vote on the hospital coverage matter. District Judge William Beckett, sit. ting temporarily as a circuit judge, threw the ease out of court. Beckett said the men had not exhausted all remedies avail able to them through the union rules and thus had no standing in court. Porter said he had taken the case to court because there was no time to follow regular procedures before the deadline. "The only thing left to us now is to go through those proce dures," Porter said, "and then hope the company will assent to waiving the deadline." Porter filed the suit on behalf of Jack Robinson, head mill wright at the Vaughn plant, and two other employes against the union leadership of Vaughn Local 3091, Lumber and Saw mill Workers. The suit said Robinson had circulated a petition for a change in the hospital coverage paid for by the company and had been supported by 328 of the approximately 550 union members. But at a union meeting March 17, a change in cov erage was rejected by a 13-10 vote. Notice of the meeting was not adequate, the suit charged, because it did not say a vote would be taken on the hospitaliza tion matter. Union members are presently Insured through the National Hospital Assn., and Robinson's faction believes it can receive better coverage through a local hospital plan. Hospital coverage is part of an agreement between the union and employer which expires June 1, and the contract states it can only be re-opened by notice in writing before mid night, April 1. St. Vincent Exports Booming Measured by the pound, the St. Vincent de Paul Salvage Bureau in Eugene Is going Into the export business in a big way. In the past few weeks, the Salvage Bureau, a sheltered workshop for handicapped per sons, has: Baled an estimated 7,000 pounds of donated clothing for Harry Holt's orphanage in Seoul, Korea.

As the age of the children ex amined in 1961 increased, the comparison with children their same age 10 years before showed less improvement. Den tal trouble for 9-year-olds, for example, had dropped by 46 per cent, for 11 year-olds by about 30 per cent, for 16-year-olds by aDoui la per cent. Ostrow said Draetleine den. tists report that they can see the difference in the mouths of today's children, who seldom have cases of badly decayed teeth, unless they have moved to Washington from a non-fluoridated city. These findings take inio ac count a unique feature of the Washington, D.C., school popu lation its change in propor tion from white to Negro. The results were adjusted, to take into account the less prevalence of tooth decay among Negro children, otherwise the findings would have shown a more marked change between 1952 and 1961. The most accepted theory on the reason for a greater Inci dence of decay in whites than Negroes is that more of the latter race are less economically privileged and more apt to eat plainer foods and fewer sugared foodstuffs. Tho cost of fluoridation here has been eight cents ner Derson yearly. LAST 2 DAYS BLAST CO-HIT mmm HAYLEV MILLS 'WhUU. Down tho Wind' OPEN 7:30 MOVIE 8 P. M.
