Large Fund Spent
To Teach Public
Truth About Cancer
Nearly two and a half million
dollars is being spent by the
American Cancer Society this
year on education, George W.
Schoeffel, Oregon campaign
chairman, told volunteer work
ers today.
Schoeffel said the national so
ciety will spend $721,000 on pro
fessional education and another
$373,000 on public education. In
addition, he said, the various
state divisions of the society have
allocated $1,295,000 for education.
The American Cancer Society's
purpose in this education pro
gram is to get patients to physi
cians early so that a cure is pos
sible and to see that the medical

Oregon Stale Motor ueoclation.
BY ANN SULLIVAN
Stall Writer, The Oregonlan
Oregon motorists can sleep In
the lap of luxury this summer.
An amazing network of new
motels, particular along U. S.
highways 99 and 101, are avail
able to the motoring public with
all the comforts of home and a
few advantages home doesn't
provide.
Minimum prices for two per
sons in some of the newest of
these range from $4.50 to $6.50.
For most of these, the attributes
follow a pattern:
A cluster of small apartments
usually built around a court.
Convenient parking place for
cars either in front of or in a
neighboring carport. Wall-to-wall
carpet. Private batl-room
with shower, tub or both.
Copious quantities of hot water
and fresh, clean towels. Inner
spring mattresses, clean sheets
and quality wool blankets.
Quick, easy heat of some sort.
Attractive, harmonized interior
colors, drapes and spread. It all
sounds and feels good after a
long day of driving.
Some of the newer motels
they have mushroomed up
along the highway, particularly
99, in numbers which will
astound you have some added
conveniences. On a recent dou
ble week-end trip down 101 to
Coos Bay, over to Roseburg and
back 99 and over 30 to The
Dalles, down 97 to Bend and
back the new Warm Springs cut
off this writer found the follow
ing in some of the motels:
Individual sanitary heavy
paper shower mats which do not
dissolve and on which you can
stand while taking a shower.
Individual sanitized drinking
glasses, covered with a heavy,
tightly-closed cellophane. Ra
dios, some with coin-operated
turn-on, others free. Fine pan
eled walls. Free city newspaper.
Flowers at the front doorstep.
Hanging baskets of fuchsia.
Motel operated restaurant for
convenience of patrons. Recre
ation room with bar and juke
box ditto. Room service of ice
cubes and mixers. Room-delivered
simple breakfast. Tele
phones. The last few of these, partic
ularly room service and tele
phones, are bids for hotel trade.
Motorists do not like to go too
far to eat, and many, especially
salesmen, like the use of a tele
phone. The coast has the greatest
variety of accommodations, be
cause of the vacation attracted
persons who spend time there.
We doubt if you can go much
below $3 50 a night for two per
sons, however, unless you con
tract by the week.
As a p.etty general rule, we
didn't find the minimum prices
at the good mou-ls much above
the pricfj of the tiourest Some
how clean Ipwp's, a clean hot
shower and a :o.1 bi'd after
drivin? s.'vcrr huiu'itv rv'es is

Must n i h , :n. ;.v motels
caterlm to the through traffic
don't bother with kitchenets for
customers. They cost more ini
tially, and take more time to
clean up after departing guests.
A number have a few units with
kitchenets, with prices up a
dollar or two over the plain
units.
One attractive motel in Bend
would not rent the apartment
with kitchenets unless the renter
planned to stay at least four or
five days.
"It takes my wife two hour,
to clean one up," said the motel
owner.
Older motels have more
kitchen equipment, and most
beach accommodations do.
Down 99 in the valley, there
seemed to be a tendency to rent
these older and no longer aa
popular units out to construe
tion and other workers by the
month.
Judging by the numbers of
cars at the most modern of the
motels at night, even in the off
season, the best ones fill up first.
The mushroom-like growth of
the motels is borne out by state
health department figures. In
1941, the earliest year figures
are available, the Oregon state
board of health licensed 1148
"tourist camps" in this state.
There were a few more, at the
rate of about 100 a year until
1946, when 1394 were recorded.
By 1946, the postwar building
boom had increased their num
ber to 1634 and in 1947 to 1791.
By 1948 they had lumped by
over 500, to 2308. The figure
was 2414 in 1949.

Mr. and Mrs. Arnin Hug and

Conyers will return home by

profession has the information
necessary to make every doctor's
office a cancer detection center.
The importance of education is
indicated, Schoeffel said, by the
fact that in 1949 at least one
third of the 200,000 persons who
died of cancer could have been
saved if education had brought
them to physicians in time for
early diagnosis and treatment.
Schoeffel emphasized that
every type of cancer is not cur
able if diagnosed and treated
early, but that many of them
are.
The state chairman stated that
in addition to its education pro
gram, the society has a great re
search program which calls for
the expenditure of more than
$3,000,000 per year.
"But while the great scientists
of the country are seeking the
cause and cure of cancer," he
said, "the society must continue
its education program to save
as many lives as possible from
the dreaded disease."
