HOSPITALITY WEEK
The past week in Salem was
highly exploited os "Hospitality
Week". Clerks were awarded
prizes for being helpful to cus
tomers. Tourists were asked to
til lot the prizes to the champion
wheedlors.
The original plan of "the week"
was to have natives be nice to
tourists, but the thing just bub
bled over and everybody got to
being civil to everybody every
where. Even motorists were po
lite to pedestrians.
"The week" almost stagnated
slate work. State employees were
so busy bowing, apologizing and
thanking co workers that a lot of
lost motion being stored up for
vacation got splashed all over the
place.
All this and the top of the tour

State Penitentiary convicts who
were stricken with trichinosis
last week are out of the hospital.
Pork sausage is believed to
have caused the outbreak. Sam
ples of the sausage taken three
days after the outbreak was test
ed but no trichina was found.
This disease is contracted by eat
ing meat, particularly pork, that
has not been cooked sufficiently,
the doctors warned.
JOBLESS BENEFITS HIGH
Oregon workers got $16,853,519
in unemployment benefits during
the fiscal year ended June 30,
This is 20 per cent more than
the benefits paid last year and
the second highest amount on
record. June benefits were $865,
784, or 69 per cent more than in
June 1952.
PETITION RESTRICTIONS
Soliciting signatures for initia
tive and referendum petitions
during hours that a person Is
being paid by any employer is a
violation of Oregon law, Attorney
General Robert Y. Thornton ruled
this week.

safety officials expressed doubt
that the relatively low June fig
ure will have any effect on the
over-all toll for the year. As soon
as vacation season gets into full
swing, they said, deaths in acci
dents probably will shoot upward
again.
Summer-time accidents con
sistently result in high death tolls
because motorists overdrive their
ability where speed is concerned
and often drive when they are too
tired to concentrate on traffic, the
division concluded.

Pudot-liappy trick for a smart ensemble chests covered with bed
uprvad fabric.
A new idea widely used by smart decorators is introduced In this gay
plaid bedroom. Repeating the gay Scotch theme of tha ready-made
cotton bedspread and matching draperies, this clever young homemaker
has covered the two little bedside chests with the fabric of another
matching bedspread.
She chose two inexpensive unpainted light wood chests sold In most
department stores. To cover them, she used a twin-size bedspread I Fron
this she had enough material left over to cover her window seat cushion.
According to The Cannon Homcmaking Institute, a twin-size ready
made bedspread contains more than six square yards of material. Com
pare this economy with buying yardage of equally sturdy decorative
fabrics. You'll quickly realize that using ready-made bedspreads to
cover chests or to upholster slipcover chairs is a real budget-stretcher.

SCOTT NOMINATED
In his first address in Salem
since he was state treasurer Les-
ie Scott last Tuesday spoke of
the changes from flail to the
threshing machine and the com
bine; from oxen to tractor; from
flood to flood control and from
self reliance to the dependence
on government for subsidies. The
taxpayer is subsidizing butter
while he is eating olea, he said.
Near the end of his talk, some
one, in a auiet aside nominated
Scott for'u! S. Senator. Within
seconds he was saying, "I nomi
nate Salem as the most desirable
home city in the world."
CAPITOL SHORTS
A 30-day quarantine on bring
ing dogs into Oregon from Ben
ton and Yakima counties in
Wash, was imposed this week by
the state veterinarian in an at
tempt to prevent the spread of
rabies. . , Congressman Walter
Norblad and family will move in
to a new processed-log home be
side a stream 18 miles from
Salem. . . A drive to bring back
prohibition to Oregon has been
started by the Oregon Anti-Liquor
League. . . The long rainy season
during the first six months of
this year caused a 24 'per cent
slump in gas tax collections, com
pared with mid-year figures in
1952. . . There have been 91 cases
of violation of Oregon's 4-year-old
fair labor practices law before the
State Bureau of Labor. . . Oregon's
traffic toll this year threatens to
be an all-time record 149 deaths
in the first five months of the
year.

Cooper was being invested at
the time the acident occurred and
would have been removed from
office in the next few days.
The council were divided in
their opinion to keep Patrolman
Cooper on from the very first.
The council and mayor had
been warned on numerous occa
sions about the handling and
pulling of his pistol. Also that
the man was dangerous and
would eventually shoot someone.
Yet for some unknown reason was
allowed to remain on duty as
long as he did.

Traffic Fatalities
Below L'jst Year's
For the first time since January,
traffic deaths on Oregon high
ways have slumped below last
year, the Secretary of State's
traffic safety division reported
Friday.
June fatalities totaled 30, as
compared with 45 last June. The
June toll, a tentative figure
brought this year's traffic count
to 179. Last year the state had
recorded 185 deaths for the same
period.
Safety officials said the lowered
figure may be partially attributed
to generally unfavorable weather
during June which keep weekend
traffic below normal.
Unfortunately, safety men said
the decrease cannot be credited
to better driving since reports in
dicate motorists were convicted of
more than 4,000 driving viola
tions, which cause 94 of all ac
cidents, during the month.
With better weather ahead,

THE TURNING POINT
William Holder), Alexis Smith, Kdmond O'Brien, Tom Tullv. It's the action-packed
story of big-time gangs and how they got away with emything until they killed a
cop! That was "The Turning Point".
... IN NEW AND ADVANCED STYLING The new long,
low, sleek lines of the 1953 Chevrolet set new standards
of beauty in the low-price field. Here you will see

more miles out of every gallon of gasoline. You'll save
on over-all operation and upkeep, too. Yet Chevrolet
remains the lowest-priced line in the low-price field.
... IN AMERICA'S FAVOR-Again this year-as in every
single postwar year-more people are buying Chevrolets
