Modern Stayton Drug Store
Belies Its Earlier Period
'fitayton You'd never guess it from the modern appearance and
service of the store, but the Albus Drug store is over 74 years old,
and is thought to be the oldest store in Stayton. Also, it was prob
ably the first business to start on Third street, now the city's main
business street.
Started by A. D. Gardner inf
1876 it has been operated for 24
years by Fred H. Albus and his
family, all of whom seem to
have a natural bent for the drug
store business. Under his owner
ship it has grown until, as he
says: "There's more stock in
the refrigerator alone than the
whole business had when I took
over in 1928."
His years with the store have
seen the often discussed change
that has made the drug store a
source of supply for all sorts of
diverse items, some far removed
from medicine. The change has
come gradually, he says, with
the stock growing imperceptibly
until today the Albus drug store
lists such diverse items as strings
for musical instruments, school
supplies, chess sets and Jack
knives among its stock.
Less perceptible to the public,
but more important to your
health, says Mr. Albus, has been
the change in the prescription
department and medical supply.
Time was, when all medicines
had to be combined in a drug
store, from a stock of tinctures,
oils and chemicals. -The growth
of large medical supply houses
has made possible a big list of
medicines that come already
combined, and that give your
doctor a whole list of new wea
pons in his fight against disease,
Another big innovation of the
last 15 years has been the advent
of the biological! serums, vac
cines, insulin, penicillin, and
others even newer.
A small invention may not
have saved a lot of lives, but it
was a boon to those who had to
take evil-tasting drugs, and to
the druggists who used to spend
hours laboriously rolling pills
by hand. It is the gelatin cap
sule. Mr. Albus has a good story
on the capsule.
A man came into a Silverton
drug store with a prescription
for quinine, and asked that some
thing be done to lessen its bitter
taste. Obligingly, the druggist
packed it in the then new cap
sules, and the customer left,
The customer was back a few
weeks later with the capsules,
now empty.
"Here," he said, "Please fill
these up again."
Working with her husband in
the store is Mrs. Albus the
former Edith Highberger of Sub
limity. Also helping out from
time to tme, is ther son, "Bud",
who is working for his degree
pharmacy at Oregon State.
He's the third of his family to
study it there. Mr. Albus gra
duated there in 1914, and his
daughter, Lorraine also has her
degree in pharmacy and with her
husband, John Brown, runs the
Dallas Pharmacy in Dallas.
' Before coming to Stayton in
1928, Mr. Albus spent two years
in the chamical warfare service
during World War I testing fil
ter elements for gas masks, and
worked in drug stores in Sheri
dan, Silverton and Salem. He
spares no effort to make the Al
bus Drug store not only the city's
oldest, but also one of its best
stores.

FCC Gets First Look Today at if
Electronic 1 -Tube System !
By JAMES C. AUSTIN
Washington. Feb. 20 (U.I!) Color Television, Inc., the dark
horse in the current color video race, gives the federal communi
cations commission its first look today at the CTI electronic,
one-tube system.
With the claim that its system offers color brilliance, sim
plicity, and reduced operating
costs in one package, CTI un
veiled its cameras and receivers
in a 30 minute variety show at
the Statler Hotel.
Attending the demonstration
were the seven members of FCC,
newsmen, and representatives of
the other color TV proponents
the Radio Corporation of Amer
ica and the Columbia Broad
casting system.
The three companies will meet
again Thursday, when the com
mission goes to its Laurel, Md
laboratories for the first three-
way comparative test of the CTI,
RCA. and CBS systems.
The commission is trying to
find out through comparative
demonstrations and exhaustive
field tests whether any color TV
system is now ready for the pub
lic. If one is, standards will be
adopted and licenses granted.
CTI moved all of its present
equipment two cameras and
eight receivers from its San
Francisco laboratories for the
demonstration.
From a small studio in a
fourth floor room of the Statler,
CTI put on its half -hour variety
show, telecasting it from the
studios of WMAL-TV, and pick
ing up the show on receivers
in the hotel's congressional room.
'Under this system, using one
tube at the camera and one at
the receiver, we expect to prove
the worthiness of our process as
compared to other systems sub
mitted to the FCC," Arthur S.
Matthews, CTI president, said.
The CTI cystem uses both
RCA cameras and receivers
modified and adapted to their
own circuits. Superimposed on
the single tubes in both cameras
and receivers are three small
lenses employing the primary
TV colors red, blue and green.
Recepting is on a projection
screen, rather than direct velw.
Movie Company Travels 14,000
Miles in Equatorial Africa
By BOB THOMAS
Hollywood, Feb. 20 VP) Actor Richard Carlson, back from what
he calls "the toughest location in film history," doesn't say he'd
do it again. But he claims it was worth the trip.
Carlson was the first of. the "King Solomon's Mines" cast to
return from Africa. Judging from his reports of the film location,
it could make an exciting movie
in itself.
The company trooped all
through equatorial Africa. Start
ing at Kenya, they journeyed to
Uganda and the headwaters of
the Nile, through the Belgian
Congo and Tanganyika and back
to Kenya. They traveled 14,000
miles by safari wagons, trucks,
river steamer, airplanes and on
foot.
Reports of dissension in the
troupe preceded its return to the
U. S.. There were even rumors of
outright mutiny. I asked Carlson
about this.
"There are discomforts on any
film location," he said. "Multi
ply this by 100 and you get a
picture of what we went
through. Naturally there was a
lot of grumbling. But also I
think we realized we were get
ting something really great on
film. That helped compensate
for the discomfort."
Carlson indicated that there
were clashes of temperament be
tween the director and some of
the performers, but added that
it was nothing uncommon.
The worst conditions were in
the Congo, he said. "We had no
fresh water for a period of 10
days," he related. "We ate cann
ed goods and drank warm beer,
wine and vichy water (which is
not too bad combined with
scotch.) That doesn't sound too
bad, but it's not much fun to
brush your teeth with wine.
Through part of the trek, the
company transported cattle
which were slaughtered for fresh
meat. The only trouble with that
was that it attracted lions. "And
I defy anyone to sleep soundly
when their camp is surrounded
with growling lions," Carlson
added.
The journey was begun last
Oct. 3 and was scheduled to fin
ish Dec. 12. That date was push
ed forward again and again and
it was Feb. 2 before the troupe
got out of Africa.
'Our main trouble was
weather," the actor said. "Huge
clouds form over Lake Victoria
every day and float over the con
tinent. That's why so much
shooting time was lost."
Mainstay 1 of the party was
star Deborah Kerr, said Carlson.
Through it all, she acted just
as though she were still in Bev
erly Hills. The only time she
wasn t at her best was one day
when she collapsed from the
heat. And then she apologized
for delaying the rest of the
crew!"
Motor Stages Seek
Cash for Damages
Dallas A $2535 damage ac
tion was filed in the office of
Mrs. Edna Pitzer Allen by the
Oregon Motor Stages as plain
tiff and naming Jim Avriette
and company as defendants.
Complaint alleged that a bus
driven by Lewis R. Patteron
collided with a truck parked
on the highway between Salem
and Dallas on the night of De
cember 28, 1948. The plaintiff
states that the truck had park
ed on the highway and had fail
ed to put out warning flares.
Damage to the bus was placed
at $1660.78 and loss of 35 days'
use of the vehicle cost the com
pany an additional $875, the
complaint states.
Larry Landgraver of Port
land is attorney for the plain
tiff. Truck was owned by Jim
Avriette and company and was
operated by Merle Harvey
Rains.
Lodge Offers Benefit
Aurora Members of Rock
Creek lodge, IOOF, of Needy,
sponsored a benefit dance Thurs
day night for Melvin and Mike
Hoffman, whose garage and
blacksmith shop burned to the
ground on February 3. The
Hoffmans plan to rebuild in the
near future.
To demonstrate the flexibil
ity of its system, CTI called up
on singers, dancers, an artist, a
woman magician, and a come
dinne to provide the entertain
ment. With singer Lanny Ross as
master of ceremonies, the pro
gram included Gerhard Pechner,
Metropolitan opera basso; Lynn
Bogue Hunt, wildlife artist; Ei
leen Christopherson, San Fran
cisco lyric soprano wno nas
participated in CTI's west coast
tests; Mary-Ellen Terry, 27-year
old ballet russe dancer; Hilde
garde Holliday, comedienne, and
magician Joan Brandon.
Latest fashions were telecast
by Washington models. The pro
gram also included a color dem
onstration of hand-woven fab
rics by California designer Doro
thy Wright Liebes. Jade Snow
Wong, west coast ceramics artist,
showed several examples of her
pottery creations.
After this demonstration, CTI
engineers packed up their heavy
equipment for the 28-mile trip
to Laurel. Although RCA and
CBS previously have demon
strated their own color systems
singly and in comparative
tests they have never before
stacked them up against the west
coast offering.
RCA's system also in elec
tronic, while that of CBS em

Willkie Warned
Against Russia
Indianapolis, Feb. 20 (U.R)
The late Wendell L. Willkie fear
ed in 1942 that Stalin and other
soviet leaders would show the
"brutality and imperialism'' of
former Russian governments,
but his advice on dealing with
them went unheeded, a newspa
per and magazine publisher said
today.
Gardner Cowles, president of
the Des Moines Register and Tri
bune, accompanied Willkie on a
round-the-world trip in 1942,
Cowles said Willkie,, 1940 repub
lican presidential candidate was
wise before his time.
Cowles spoke as he presented
bronze plaque, honoring Will
kie, to the state of Indiana for
a permanent place in the Capi
tol rotunda.
"Willkie with uncanny insight
forsaw our present troubles with
Russia," said Cowles. He urg
ed time and again that we set
tle on the terms of peace during
the war when our bargaining
power was at its height.
"He recalled that through all
history allies always quarrel af
ter a war's end unless the peace
terms have been firmly spelled
out before the enemy collapses.
"How tragic that his advice
went unheeded."
The plaque showed Willkie
in profile and bore a creed which
Willkie included in a 1939 speech
before the 44th congress of Am
erican industry. The creed said:
I believe in America because
in it we are free free to choose
our government, speak our
minds, observe our different re
ligions, because we hate no peo
ples and covet no peoples lands,
because we have great dreams
and because we have the oppor
tunity to make those dreams
come true."
