By XOMK OKI Fou4s-w«rcH curvm P \o e - AM O rT MORE S ack B ro <£ Hunting The Difficult The coming of scores of automobiles each day from California, tourists seeking something differ­ ent, prompts ug to wonder how many of these tour­ ists have really seen their own state. The large majority of them probably have tra­ versed the main highways, visiting the main cities, and the major scenic attractions of the state. How­ ever, it would probably be safe to say that only a very small per cent of those who come to Oregon, or make long trips to other states, have gone to the trouble to visit the isolated spots in their own state, where usually many of the most beautiful scenery and attractions are to he found. Apply the same principle to Oregon. How many of the hundreds who annually go to other states in quest of something different have visited the iso­ lated parts of Oregon where really many of the most wonderful scenic attractions are to he,found! There are many native Oregonians who have never seen«.the Pacific ocean from Oregon land—yet who have traveled hundreds of miles to California. Many Southern Oregon citizens have never gazed upon wonderful Crater Lake. The Lakeview and Eastern Oregon country is alien to hundreds who have always' contented themselves with trips up and down the Pacific highway. Mqnnt Hood is known to only a few, except as viewed from a distant paved highway. Dozens of other scenic attractions in Ore­ gon have never been visited by a great majority of Oregonians. Yet, practically all of these make long trips each year in quest of something different, while it woqld take almost a lifetime, figuring one trip each year, for a person to' visit all of the scenic spots in Oregon alone. We do not know our own state as much as we should. The Nickel Cups Sunday, while showing some of the Shenan­ doah Valley visitors about the city, the writer stop­ ped at the Lithia fountain in the park. Having for­ gotten about the nickle-in-the-slot cup arrangement, the writer had not supplied himself with sufficient nickles. •With only two nickels in his pocket and four ladies in the automobile, it was necessary to apolo­ getically ask one of them if they had two nickels with which to procure the two additional cups so as to furnish each an individual cup. One of the women looked at the slot machine and remarked: “ That’s peculiar?’ * She no doubt did not object to spending the nickel, but it is not difficult to imagine along which line her mind was working. Entertainment Missed Monday many commctng were heard in Lithia Park because of the fact no entertainment had been provided for the hundreds who had gathered there. The crowd did not want a rip-roaring, wide-open celebration—just some little program which would have been a welcome to the visitors and added mer­ riment or amusement to the day. Ashland must realize that, regardless of the number of celebrations in other regions, Lithia Park will always attract a large number of people who prefer the beauty and charm of the park to any celebration which is offered them elsewhere. It would be only fitting for Ashland to alwuyg prop vide some program for the visitors in the Park on July Fourth, as an appreciation of the visit of our guests. We wonder if in 20 years from now wo will look back and think how modestly women used to dress. Hindenburg wanted to get to Paris by Christmas but Lindbergh got there without trouble before doc- oration ¿toy. There is many a close shave'twix the cradle and the grave for men and women these davs. Practice does not always make a lawyer perfect but it frequently makes him rich.
