TRAVEL BUG? places to go... things to do by lob Kyle Travel Bug column is spon sored by the Oregon Welcome Committee. Purpose of the col umn is to provide readers with a weekly calendar of events and feature highlights of "places to go and things to do" in Oregon. Contributions may be sent to "Travel Bug," 522 Pittock Block, Portland, Oregon. Suggestion for a late summer week-end trip would have to in clude one of Oregon's famous mountain passes. Across the Cas cades, for example, via Mt. Hood Loop in Highway 26, or the North Santiam on Highway 22; the Mc Kenzie Pass on Highway 126, or perhaps Highway 58 over the Willamette Pass. Scenic interest along these mountain routes Includes pan oramic views of towering Cas cade peaks, sparkling mountain lakes and streams, mighty stands of timber affording cool ness to woodland recreation areas and. of course, the smash ing beauty of flaming leaves as foliage turns to hues of yellow, red, lavender and gold to wel come the fall season. For something to do, the Cas cade passes offer some of the finest camping, picnic and rec reation facilities in the world- provided by state and federal parks. Three big events, any one of which might be fun to attend during the week are the Pendle ton Round-Up and Happy Can yon Pageant opening Wednes day, September 11 and roaring through Saturday; Sherman County Fair and Rodeo at Moro, and the annual "Indian Style" salmon bake at Depoe Bay on Saturday, September 14. Who said there's nothing to do this weekend? Roads throughout the state are in ex cellent shape, weather seems to be moderating, and school starts soon, so you'd better get out and enjoy yourself while you have a chance. HARD TO BELIEVE, but did you know Oregon's out-of-state tourist business brings a total of around $217 million into the state each year? We had close to 12 million visitors in 1962. And that's not all-right here in the state, we spent $184 (in fact, almost $185) million during the same period. Our tourist business is the state's third-largest industry, and running hard for second place. The Oregon Welcome Commit tee is a volunteer committee as sisting the Travel Information Division of the Oregon State Highway Department in tourist promotion activities. Oregon Wel come chairmen have been ap pointed throughout the state by Governor Hatfield, and this year's program, according to Dick Turner, chairman of the committee, has been highly successful. Everyone can help in this pro gram. Just greet our visitors with a big smile and warm hand shake. Be friendly and helpful make them feel at home. i , . , . ' . .
