WINTER SPORTS IN CRATEF mm YEAR Lack of Funds Prevents Ef fort Chamber of Com merce Told By Ellsworth Due to the lack of funds, It will be impossible to keep Crater Lake National park open for winter sports enthusiasts and other travelers this winter, a letter from Newton B. Drury, director of national parks, to Congressman Harris Ellsworth, states. Ellsworth and other con- gressional representatives from " Oregon have been aiding' the Jackson county Chamber of They rub elbows with us! Nearly 85,000 men and women now share ownership in Stand ard of California. Rich and poor. Young and old. This one drives a truck. That one runs a store. Another's job is fighting. Still another is a nurse. In number, in spirit, in vari ety, our stockholders constitute an army. They are a segment of America. A cross section of the people. Your next door neighboi may be perhaps is among them. The voters of your home town make up a no more dem ocratic list. Scattered all over the United States you'll find them. But most of them are Western people. Some 31,500 of the 85,000 live in California 10,000 in Los Angeles County ... 7,700 in San Francisco ... 47 in little Amadot County (Pop. about 8,500). All but one of California's 58 counties are represented. So are 54 of Oregon's 36 counties and the same number of Washington's 39 counties . . . That's Distribution with a capi tal D. But it's just a starter. Out In mid-Pacific you'll find resident stockholders of ours on small Hawaiian Islands. Up among the totem poles of Alas ka only a sleeper jump (by plane) from the North Pole you'll find them. Ketchikan has eight Petersburg seven. Alaska has long been our "farthest North." In that out post, we've done business for decades. And it's simple com pany history that wherever we do business, over the years we acquire stockholders. Thus, a vast share of our stockholders have close contact with their company. They get an intimate picture of its opera rions because they rub elbows with us. I (log A 4 ilon. avord.d to owr Wdtnwnd lfinrr Commerce In Its efforts to have the park kept open and a report on the letter was made at the board of directors meeting Fri day by Mark Goldy of the paik committee. Drury also wrote that finances would probably not be a prob lem after this winter, since 'the federal-aid highway act of 1944 provides that appropriations made to the service will be avail able for maintenance as well as for construction." Housing Problem J. E. Earley reported on hous ing, stating that a saturation point seemed to have bc-en reached but that many naval of ficers and newcomers were still without housing. He urged the board members to aid with solv ing the problem in every possible fashion. Reporting on the progress of the new city park along the banks of Bear creek, Frank Rog ers, city superintendent, stated that plans and preliminary work were going ahead rapidly and that by next fall certain areas would be laid out and planted to shrubs and trees. Film Finished President Herb Grey stated that Universal Studios had about finished with the filming of Canyon Passage" at Diamond Lake and that the picture would probably be released in the spring. Company executives and workers were highly pleased, he said, with the results of the film ing done here and it was gener ally believed that other com panies might use this section of the country for future film work. Larry Kelly, operator of the new Evergreen bus service, was introduced at the meeting. Members were reminded that Dr. Harry K. Newburn, president of the University of Oregon, will speak at a forum luncheon meet ing of the chamber Thursday noon at the Holland hotel, with the public invited to attend. Louisville Takes Final Contest Of Miniature Series Louisville. Kv.. Oct IB 'IIP) The 1945 "Little World Series" crown was worn today by the Louisville (Jolonels of the Amer ican Association who romned in with a 5 to 3 victory over the Newark Bears of the Internation al league behind the pitching of Rex Cecil. By yesterday's win, the Col onels captured the title four games to two, despite 56-degiee weather which kept 7,882 fans shivering. It was the second triumph of the series for Cecil, who struck out seven and walked two 'vith support of the strong "clutch" hitting of his teammates. Bril liance marked Cecil's pulling out of trouble in the second, seventh and eighth innings. Washington, Oct. 15 U.R Army wives whose husbands are in occupation service overseas apparently will have to wait at least until next spring if they're hoping to join them. Latest word on the subject came from Assistant Secretary of War John J. McCloy. He said in Vienna that as soon as the ap proximate length of occupation is determined, methods will be worked out for army dependents to go overseas. But he added it wouldn't come this winter. The decision as to when de pendents may enter occupied countries will be made by the ater commanders. Gen. Dwight D. Eisenhower said last summer that he hoped to see the arrange ments worked out, but reminded that Germany was a hostile country, with shortage of quar ters, food, fuel and everything else. This position will not be essen tially altered in Germany this winter. It may even be worse in Japan. Dependents of army personnel are now permitted to go to Latin American points when suitable housing, food, medical supplies and transport is available. Livestock Portland. Ore.. Oct. 15 (UP.)

Selling was interpreted in Wall Street as a wholly technical re action to recent market strength. There was nothing in the news to account for the liquidating movement, apart from a desire to pocket profits.
