Audit Bureau nf Circulation. EnteMd u 8ond Claw Matter, January 6. 117 at the Pent Offlte at Bern!. Ore gon under Act of March 3, 1H79. The Bend Bulletin. Friday, January 21, 1955 Proposed U. S. 197 Work ' A Wasco county delotration h .highway commission for construction of a new cutoff soutn irom J he Dalles a distance of 11 miles to a junc tion wun u. a. Highway 197. : Central Oregonians will watch the result of that ap peal with interest, inasmuch as U. S. 197 is an impor tant feeder of traffic to the interior eountrv The work proposed by the Wasco delegation would .snonen tne present winding route five milps nnr? nlimi .nate an antiquated and dangerous section. The northern terminus or tne road would be in the vicinity of the ap 'proach to the new bridge at The Dalles. ... From Central Oreiron torists now have two arterial routes which branch in the fahaniko flats area north of Cow canvon. . One route, U. S. 97, ends at a ferry near Biggs. The oilier swings into The Dalles near the new bridge ap proach. Improvement of either will be welcomed Incidentally, the hitrhwav dt Miartment. i nnorimr ; completion of a section of U. S. 97, in Cow Canyon, that serves Dotn ot the routes that branch north to the Colum bia. : The completion of this section, nlnno- th hitm-ie : trail of freighters, and the improvement of the U. S. 97 anu u. b. 197, will increase the importance of The Dal ;ies-California highway as one of the major routes of thi region. Those Faint, Green Trails ! Oregon's revised Outdoor Guide is just off the press , with a listing of new park facilities for the coming sea ,'son. I Included in the folder, published by the Oregon State ; Highway Department's travel information division, are a ; large map and facility list showing locations of the prin cipal state parks, state roadside rest areas and U. S. For ; est camps. ; " Also listed are historic markers erected by the high- way department in cooperation with the stale historical ! society. As in past years, the folder is impressively il lustrated. ', '' Major changes in facilities in the park listing are of ', interest to Central Oregonians. There is a new camping '.aVea listed at Ochoco Lake Stall? park. Tumalo State ;park on the Deschutes near Rend has 18 camping areas ; Camping areas at Cove Palisades state park have been increased to 36. 1 ,. . The folder is designed as a reference for motorists .'driving Oregon highways, seeking recreation in parks .'and forests. For this purpose, we fear the folder fails its ,' mission. ; The legend to the park map, keyed on numbers, let ters and symbols, is a bit too complicated for the lmr ;ried tourist. Picture the southbound tourist moving over y. S. ' Highway 97 in the vicinity of Madras, at a r0-mile clip. ! He wants to get to a park considered by some Oregoni ',ans to be the most spectacular in the entire state the ;Cove Palisades deep in the twin gorges of the Deschutes and Crooked rivers west of Culver. ' Possibly the tourist will hand the guide map to his ;wife, ask her to give him the sign at the turnoff point. then hurry into the south at half a hundred miles per ' hour. ' If the wife is a Phi P.eta Kappa, a skilled map read er and a patient woman she will solve the map legend 'and its cross references in five niinules, Then having 'placed her pencil at an uncertain point south of Madias, where Culver should be listed but isn't, she will deter mine that the Cove park is to the west, And, if her vision is real good, she will determine from the very faint green overprint that in the Crooked ; river gorge is a slate park, with overnight camping fa cilities. Hut the camp is not named. Time has passed swiftly as the car sweeps into tin south. And if the gooil wife will take time out and look at the region she may recognize the deep gorge of Crook- 'ed river. The Cove park turnoff was passed many miles, and : many minutes back. Future issues of the folder, we hope, will adopt ;i '. better system of designating the Oregon state parks, (he 'U.S. Forest camps in Oregon ami roadside rest areas. Major complaint with the new map is I lie delicate : failed green used in designating the parks and camps. rThis, possibly, is carrying just a bit too far the move U keep Oregon green.

II is, from many angles, what the I 'resident calls "moderately progressive." It strives for "a lib eral altitude toward the welfare f the people and a conservative ipproaeh to the use of their mon ey. . . ." In this latter respect, the new budget message might be lassified "moderately reaction ary." Kor the first time requested p- prorations for health, education ind welfare are greater than re luesled appropriations for agrieul- ment, foreign aid or the develop ment of natural resources. The differences are not much- measured in millions of dollars but they are significant. Kor here is an admission of how far the country has come along the road towards the much-damned welfare state of the lllilD's. Only the pro posed expenditures fnr national de fensetwo thirds of the tola) for veterans' benefits and for interest on the public debt are now greater than for welfare. Just what the total outlay fur these welfare services will be is left rather vague. Special mes sages are still lo come on a new health plan and aids to education. Also, Congress will luce some thing to say on this. While the Republican adminis tration has generally been consid ered favorable to liusiuess. the pro posed budget reductions for devel- ipmeiit of commerce are perfectly 'onslslent and understandable. . In several places, President Ei senhower emphasizes his previous ly expressed desire to take the tederal government out of enter prises which compete with private industry.

The budget message proposes to cut the $10 billion defense budget by 51.75 billion in unspecified ways, merely by practicing economy, No one can quarrel with any gen eral intent to reduce government expenses. Hut with some elements of Congress feeling that U.S. de fenses have already been cut back too much, this proposal may run into an argument. The foreign aid program is equally vague, with the much-lalked-of-aid for Asia and German rearmament figures still to come. Also, there is no breakdown on technical assistance. All in all, on the expenditures side, the new budget has more gaps in H than any submitted in receril years. Some of these gfips are blanketed in a $1'00 million item for contingencies nowhere ex plained. On the revenue or taxation side, there is also some indefiniteness.

Grant's Sage Brushings Merchant Helps Couples to Wed McALEETER. Okla. (UP) -A local hardware slore owner, Ilarracc Collier, is fast becoming popular in launching marriages. Collier has twice turned his store into a wedding chapel, com plete with altar and potted plants. He has encouraged local merchants lo join him in shower ing the couples with household gifts, including kitchen equipment, linens and groceries. The .Tfiyear-old merchant said he started his novel practice one day when an engaged couple were in his store xdiscussing their com ing marriage. Collier asked where they were going to get married, and the young man replied that they were uiuieoided. They couldn't afford a hig wedding. "Why not have the ceremony here?" the businessman said. Collier said now they have a baby and a happy home, and he feels that the sense of security given them by the help from the merchants has been an important factor in putting the marriage on t firm foundation. Collier' believes struggling young couples faced with modest salaries and spinning living costs need some help in setting up housekeeping. He said he has drawn no criti cism from local churches. I oi lier's main problem is finding room for the crowds that attend the weddings. "Anybody who wants to come is welcome." he said, "as long as they bring a household gift ol some kind." I understand that Lucille Ball and Desi Arnaz, our near-iavorite TV characters (and I do mean characters) are up against tough competition in the Portland area. Their "I Love Lucy Show" is hav ing trouble holding its own against "Medic," on the rival Portland TV station at the same hour Monday night. We've never seen "Medic," but this is no great cause for grief. I've never liked to sit around and listen to people tell about their op erations. "Lucy" seems to be the choice of most Central Oregon TV fans on Monday night, in prefer ence to "This is Your Music," at the same hour on the Eugene sta tion. Most folks watch "This is Your Music" Sunday afternoon from KOIN. Yesterday William Moyes, the "real" B-Mike, devoted considera ble space in his Oregon Journal column to nipping comments on the Monday night "Lucy" show. 1 wonder how he caught so much ol it. Wasn't he watching "Medic?" Personally, I thought the "Lucy" show was pretty hilarious. (Lucy and Ricky and their apaTtment house pals have just started an automobile trip from New York, to seek their fortunes in Holly wood.). The Monday night sequence the eternal battle between the mile mad driver and his hungry passen gersbrought back memories of our own jaunt across the country several years ago. The broken down auto court, the broken-down beds and the poor food were exag gerated a little, of course. But ju dicious use of exaggeration is the mainstay of most side-splitting comedy. ADD KKICHT SW1NCS OF CIHI.IHtKX DKPAKTMKXT: Mary Datnoll was talking the other day ill the office about buying Ice skates for her young son. She thought she'd pick up a pair at the skat ers' exchange, then get bigger ones next year. Th vnunir man In question was horrified at Uio thought of having second hand skates. Kather than old ones, he'd have none at all! 'That's ridiculous!" his mother snorted. "You tian have new skate when you're older. Vo. sir." the kid said, standing pat. "If I wear old skates, I'm lia ble to get asphalt root." Dior has done it again. While the furor was still raging about the changes in the bustline, and critics were choosing UD sides to decide whether the Dior decree meant "flat" or "high," the designer eame out with the startling declar ation that the feminine elbow is ugly and should be de-emphasized. Likewise the feminine knee. Niitumllv. this amounted to a declaration of war. Males who fre quent swank beaches were quick to point out that they found no bones to pick with the revelations ot the modern batmng suit, inu gals fumed that maybe feminine knees and elbows aren't so beau tifulbut the average man doesn't look so hot in short - sleeved T shirts and Bermuda shorts. "You can just tell Mr. Dior for me that I'll put my knees up against his any time!" stormed one model. What Mr. Dior meant, I think, is that sleeves that iust graze the elbow and skirts that barely cover the kneecap are unbecoming, to say the least. To be graceful and beautiful, sleeves should end about half-way between the elbow and the shoulder, or half-way between the elbow and wrist. Hemiines should be several inches below the knee, or if you please, several inches above. Just like I told the Chief, I can't see that it makes very much difference. I've always said, if vou don't like a joint, you can take it or leave it alone.
