The Oregon State Motor associ

following a survey conducted by
the association, which disclosed
a 25 per cent drop in tourist bus
iness in this state, following the
flood.
The survey, conducted among
motor court and hotel operators
along major highway routes in
Oregon, snowed the decrease in
tourist business to be general

Traffic Conference
Will Meet at Corvollis
July 29th to 31st
State ,city, and county traffic
problems wil be aired at the first
Oregon Traffic Engineering con
ference scheduled for July 29 to
31 at Oregon State college, ac
cording to word received by Sec
retary of State Earl T. Newbry.
One of a series being coordin
ated by the national Institute of
Traffic Engineers, the conference
wil feature Robert S. Holmes, In
stitute executive secretary, and
75 per cent In Individual in
stances. Owners reported these reasons
for the decline:
1. Adverse publicity on the Col
umbia flood, causing people to
cancel trips already planned, or
plan their vacations in other ar
eas. 2. The late season, resulting in
slow business during the first
part of the summer.
3. High cost of traveling.
Since the publicity on the flood
was the number one cause of the
tourist decline, the association
board of directors adopted a re
solution, suggesting that the
state highway commission Imme
diately conduct an advertising
campaign in neighboring states,
informing prospective tourists
that normal travel conditions now
exist in Oregon and other north
west areas.
The commission, through John
A Laing, chairman of the adver
tising advisory committee, noti
fied the association, that it had
decided to expend funds original-
ly allocated to a fall campaign,
I to the immediate job of dispelling

disrupted motor travel in this
area.
"The committee feels that the
campaign at this time will disab
use the idea that danger or in
convenience may be encountered
in travel in this area, and that
the campaign will be as effective
in stimulating late travel as the
one originally planned for the
fall period," Laing said.
The motor association's survey
disclosed many travelers today
were seeking less expensive va
cations, the association reported.
Tourists were found checking the
costs of accommodations, where
as immediately after the war,
tourists sought accommodations
with no thought of the cost. In
many instances, less expensive
accommodations are requested,
indicating tourists today are in
clined to "shop around" for lower
rates.

President Truman, while on a
political vacation paid for by the
taxpayers called Congress a lot
of names, none of which were
nice. And he said Congress should
stay on the job until a lot of un
finished business was taken care
of, or something like that. We are
inclined to agree with Mr. Tru

job at the time he made those
remarks his statements would be
better received by the voters. As
a matter of fact the Congress was

Gl Trainees Need
Certificates to Change
Schools or Jobs
Ex-GI's who change schools
or places of job training should
ask the Veterans Administration
for theri supplemental certifi
cates of eligibility before they
transfer, Charles M. Cox, VA rep
resentative for this area, advised
today.
'This advance action will pre
vent possible loss in subsistence
and tuition payments," Cox ex
plained. "A new, tighter ruling
on transfers dates these payments
only from the time the VA re
ceives a request for the new cer
tificate. "In the past, some trainees
have asked for this clearance af
ter they transferred, but In future
such a delay wil only lead to a
loss in payments," he warned".

VA aide emphasized. Even tho
a veteran returns to his farmer
school, if he has taken any other
GI training In the meantime, he
will need a new certificate to re

is advisable, he added. Request
blanks, which require a state

by the former school or employer,
may be obtained at the larger
