SCRIPT WRITER, PRODUCTION BOSS
Zylpha Z.
Talents as
By GORMAN IIOGAN
Associated Press Writer
SALEM Ml Zylpha Zell, Burns
is the script writer, production
manager, prop boss and keeper
of the first aid kit for what some
people consider the biggest show
in Oregon.
And her productions have 'been
coming off with hardly a hitch for
nearly 20 years, although her
leading players have often been
the rankest o amateurs. ,
Zylpha Zell Burns (she thinks
she was named for nn mint) is
the chief clerk of the Oregon
Senate. Elected in 1931) , as the
first woman lo hold the post, site's
been in it ever since,
' Liked by Doth Parlies '
A tribute lo her durability is
the fact that while Mrs. Burns is
a leader in the Republican Party,
Democrats In tho present-evenly-
divided Senate agreed to her
election as chief clerk before the
session ever opened.
There's no doubt she's n handy
one for the senators to nave
around, particularly the president,
who, as a rule, has had no prior
experience In such nlfuirs.
It s for his ' benclit that she
writes the daily script, complete
with exact words and sound effect
cues (one gavel rap, two gavel
raps, etc.). ,
On occasion, she even antici
pates whats coming up. For ex-
mple. a senator may come to
her and ask how to get immediate
action on a resolution. She tells
him he'll have to ask for a sus
pension of the rules. So, in anti
cipation of this request, she
includes it in the president s script
so he'll be prepared.
Inauguration Script
Furthermore, she writes the
script for the inauguration of the
governor at a joint session of llie
Legislature, I his opus includes
instructions for just about every
body from tho Sennlo president
down to the doorkeeper.

out to be a woman.
Besides directing the Senate
staff, Mrs. Burns supervises the
printing and mailing -of bills and
requisitions all Senate supplies.
She checks the dishes and silver
ware in the Senate dining 'room
before the session opens. And her
office even is a repository for
first aid and minor medical sup

"I told them I didn't mind the

Post-War Expansion Highlights
Lane, Douglas County Economy
EDITORS NOTE: This Is an
other In a series of articles con
densing and summarizing reports
made by J. W. Forrester Jr.,
editor of (he Pendleton East Ore
gonlan, on economic trends and
prospects in all parts of Oregon.
By THE ASSOCIATED PRESS
In that part of Oregon where
wood is king, Lane and Douglas
counties show the shape and
expansion of post-war economy.
In a study, as part of a tour
of the state, J. W. Forrester Jr.,
editor of the Pendleton East
Oregonian, found these things:
Lane County, which for years
"has led all the counties of the
nation in the amount of timber
cut, 85 per cent of the county's
manufacturing payroll is in
wood." Hundreds of mills came
into the county during the war
and although "tight money" right
now is slowing things down,
good times and poor a lot of wood
will be manufactured here."
Only Douglas County has more
merchantable timber than Lane;
and only Lane (aside from Mult
nomah) leads Douglas in indus
trial payrolls.
Lane Operations Big
Lane County s woods arc
marked by big operations. Doug
las, where "fortunes have been
made by operators who weren't
much shucks in the lumber busi
ness before the war," is now
tending toward big operations too
with the number of mills falling
perhaps by 50 a year.
In neither has full utilization of
wood reached a major level, al
though Weyerhaeuser at Spring
field "takes everything out of a
log." This utilization has been
slowed by the abundance of tim
bcr and the fact that growth is
exceeding the cut, making con
servation less urgent than in
some areas. Full utilization and
an end to waste is, though, on
the way.
Douglas County has taken an
approach to its timber that is
unique in Oregon: It has an ex
tension service forester, the only
one in the state. He aids in farm
woodlot growth, reforestation and
conservation.
Agriculture, Too
In these timbered counties there
is agriculture, too. Lane's 1954
farm income latest available
figure exceeded 21 million dol
lars divided among poultry, dairy
products, truck crops, grain, hay,
silage, pasture, livestock, nursery
and greenhouse and fruits.
Douglas, the states second
largest sheep producer, could
have more agriculture but many
of its farmers arc part-time farm
ers: When a leilow can earn to
to $30 a day on a 40-hour week in
lumber, why should ne lane on
the drudgery of fulMime farming
nl far less income?"
Lane has a major employer in
the Southern Pacific with a new
six-millinn-dollar freight yard
being built at Eugene: another
important payroll in tne univer
sity of Oregon: and a major
wholesale distribution service
Distribution Important
This distribution "contributes
more to the economy than agri
culture. Wholesale firms estab
lished here serve most of Western
Oregon outside the Portland area,
all the way to the California line."
Moreover, when a new road is
completed lo tho Coast lit in
cludes a 1,400-foot tunnel) Eugene
will be only 45 miles from tide
water and some are visualizing
eventual barging of products from
California to Mapleton, thence
trucking to Eugene as the distri
bution center.
A group of Eugene men seeking
further industrial expansion nave
formed the Eugene Industrial De
velopment Corp., which is devel
oping an 85-acre site, installing
all utilities and streets, and offer
ing tracts to new industries at an
attractive price.
This self-help program is
echo of a major achievement in
a county farther north, Yamhill.
There, when population began in
1951 to fall off, wood products
manufacture employ fewer people
and agriculture begin c slump,
McMinnvillc Industrial Promo
tions was formed. When an area
of the state needs economic help
it "will want to reach into this
community for advice."
Plant Sites Bought
This promotion effort, in which
businessmen reached into their
pockets to buy sites and build
plants, bought a cookie factory,
a plywood plant, a trailer manu
facturing company. A true com-

stabilizing.
Douglas County has another
source of wealth besides its vast,
enriching forests: Mining. At
Riddle "the Hanna company is
mining the. largest known nickel
deposit in the United States; there
are cinnebar (mercury) mines
which have been expanding; and
some chrome deposits are being
worked. '
And both Lane and Douglas
have a strong attraction for tour
ists and people in search of
recreation, from the swift trout
streams to the salmon fishing
fleets in coastal waters.
At Reedsport it has been said
that through much of the year the
banks have to import currency,
"but during the sport fishing
season they export it."
