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.

ing aside all the detailed -figures
accounting for the hundreds of mil
lions of dollars in President Ki
senhower's new $U2.1 billion hud
get message, il can he looked at
as a document expounding the Ke-
puhlican administration's philoso
phy of government.
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.

what the President proposes

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.

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.
