Municipalities have found that where new industries are planned there are usually many obstacles, some affecting the entire community such as zoning, limitation of water supplies, poor access to transportation facilities, fire protection, etc., and last but not least, the objection of private property owners. D0RTLAND is approaching the matter in a big way through the recent launching of a campaign by its chamber of commerce. The city, says the chamber president, is at the economic crossroads where it can either progress, tread water or decline. The organiza tion is determined that the progress road shall be the one followed. Portland's chamber, among other things, pro poses specifically that greater emphasis be given the promotion of remanufacturing in the field of lumber, and more attention to the tourist industry two steps which many of the smaller cities of the state might well emulate. LJERE in the Medford vicinity more progress has been made in the past couple of years in respect to lumber remanufacture than for a long time previ ously. It has required vision and capital to establish the plants which are now producing a wide variety of items from our lumber. For years heretofore, most of the smaller oper ators were content to saw a log into rough lumber, load it into cars, ship it out and get their profit, what everhe latter might be, with minimum handling of the product. MOW more logs are being given a full treatment ' with the result that fine, finished, kiln-dried lum ber, doors, window frames, even down to moulding and window shade rollers are being turned out. Each I such development provides more man hours of em ployment and anything which the city, civic groups or others can do to encourage this additional industry should by all means be done. L.L.r.

Cities of Oregon and California which boast rich historical background are becoming museum consci ous, the dual objectives being preservation of such heirlooms and collections of relics as still remain, and establishment of a never-failing place of interest for local people and visitors. AT Redding, Cal., where the Shasta Centennial celebration will be held June 11 to 18 in con nection with dedication of the mighty Shasta dam, the old county court house at nearby Shasta will be dedi cated to museum purposes during the celebration week. The Shasta museum holds special interest for Jackson county as the plans for reconstruction of the former court house have followed much the same pat tern as are being followed in conversion of the former county scat building at Jacksonville. e e e e AT Salem, the mayor has suggested removal of the Oregon Historical Society's collection from Port land to the capital city. The historical society is hav ing a dispute with the Portland city council over rent al fees. The metropolis city dads perturbed by mount ing municipal costs and insufficiency of revenue ap parently would rather lose the attraction than help share the expense of housing it. Salem, however, would also have a housing prob lem should the historical society decide to move its items there. It has been suggested by Salemites that nn additional wing be given the capitol, extending to the rear, to house a state museum. Such a plan would be fine for Salem, as it would give that city a museum built and maintained at state expense. TTHE Salem Capital Journal opines that sooner or lutot Wulom trill Vlovn a mncoiim aiwl tVlaf it should have the finest collection of historical items in Oregon. If the people of Salem and or Marion county feel that way about it, they should go ahead and build one instead of trying to figure how they can get the rest of the stale to pay for it. K.C.F. McLeod McLeod, Mar. 22 Mr. and Mis. Frank Dilsworth and Mrs. Mav Richardson have gone to Salinas. Cal.. to visit Mr. and the purpose of forming a teen age (or recreation purposes. There will be a speaker from the YMCA at Medford and the pub lic is invited. Mr. and Mrs. Jack Smith are the proud parents of a baby girl Is there anvwhere in this fair land of ours a male hairdresser who uses his full name for busi ness purposes? These male hair stylists all seem to use their first names only, such as Antoine. Al bert, Charles, Maurice, etc. I be lieve a male hairdresser using both names would be such a novelty he would attract a lot of business. Asking Queries from clients: Q. Where was the Dewey theater in New York City? A. On East 14th street not far from a cafe run by Tom Sharkey. It was a burlesque house. Q. Wasn't Helen Morgan the first to sing "My Man." after which it was taken up and fea tured by Fannie Brice? A. Fan nie Brice popularized the song "My Man." Helen Morgan intro duced a song entitled "My Bill." Passing Br Mrs. "Babe" Zaharlas. Great est all-around woman athlete of all time. "Babe" likes to be called Mrs. Zaharias rather than "Babe" Didrikson. She is very happily married and wants ev erybody to know it. . . . Tommy Guinan. Brother of Texas Gui- nan. Tommy once ran the Club Napoleon at 33 West 56th street, Manhattan. This spot was the in spiration of Louis Bromfield's i story "Night After Night," the film version of which gave "Mae West her first big chance. Sidelights From Canada comes the infor mation that a number of sap phire mink coats will reach the New York retail fur market next year. The price of one sapphire mink coat is $90,000. . . . Now another film star. Joan Leslie, has married a doctor. It would seem that doctors very much have what it takes to arouse a film star's Interest in matri mony. Just what this strange power the physicians have over the cinema luminaries is. I have been unable to ascertain. How ever, I have instructed our Horses & Women experts to make an exhaustive study of the matter. Horses It Women Note it reported the Paris Style dictators have ruled that i short skirted evening gowns and , wedding gowns will be the fash-; inn. If our feminine friends fall for that I think they will be mak- j ing a great mistake. Not one i woman in ten looks well in a short skirted evening gown. As i tor a snort skirted wedding gown, it just doesn't seem in keeping with the occasion. Among the Married A couple both weighing the same after 10 years ot marriage is a rarity. Either the husband has taken on a lot of excess flesh or tlie wife has lost her school girl figure. In many cases both have become much stouter. As for example, consider the case of a Long Bench, Cal.. subscrib er and her spouse. She savs: "When we were married in 1937 my husband who is five feet ten incnes tall weighed 126 pounds. I, who am five feet three inches tall, weighed 128 pounds. Now he weighs 170 pounds and I weigft loo pounds." James Braid. Scotland's No. 1 golfer, who is now 80 years of age plays daily, and recently turned in a score of 72 for 18 different holes. Braid says he started playing golf when four years old. The British statesman was a strong advocate of slow eating. He believed you should take 32 chews for each mouth ful. He lived to be 89, so per haps thore is something to his claim. As her cows go in for milking, Nora Johnson, Surrey, Eng., farmer, entertains them with a short concert on a Dortable ni- ano. This musical innovation has greatly increased the milk vield of Mrs. Johnson's cows. A few years ago there was a horse run ning around the New York tracks whose victories were greatly increased when he was entertained niRhtly with a re cording program. This horse pre- leri-ect cooncrs Bnci sung quar tets. He had never won a race until the idea of adding music to his training schedule was introduced. Editorial Comment The President Should End the Confusion There's no shooting war going on between the big powers, but there's a war going on in the United States about the whys of a civilian defense set-up. The war about the way to meet war at home if it comes has been brewing a long time. Secretary of Defense Johnson kept it go ing for a while when he an nounced he wanled an air-raid warning system put into effect in "critical" states. Oregon hap pened to be one of those "criti cal" states. Congressman Norblad question ed Johnson's judgment in calling into being a system based on World War II thinking before planes which fly faster than sound and before the atom bomb, Johnson came through with an explanation that claimed need for such a warning system be cause of an inadequate radar net work and because of the possi bility of parachute landings. Nor blad still wasn't completely satis fied with Johnson's explanation. Neither was anyone else after Johnson praised the condition of the nation s defenses. Now Senator Johnson of Colo rado, no relation to the defense secretary, comes along to keep the war of words going. He says the vast civil defense organiza tion is not necessary at this time and might even prove harmful. The senator claims a program would only confuse the public and give cities a false sense of .security. The public is already so confused that a warning system couldn't heighten the confusion any. But instead of tending to ifive cities a false sense of secu rity, a disaster plan might tend to make cities aware of danger. That raises the point that is basic to the entire problem of civil defense. Why is an elabora rate civilian program necessary now? News admittedly is bad from overseas, but Secretary of Defense Johnson keeps saying that there is no need for concern. The news trom abroad is bad. And it is not getting any better. The time for a frank appraisal by the Truman administration on world affairs is fast slipping away. Until the president does speak up. Senator Johnson and the others will question the wis dom of the civilian defense oper ation. Acheson finally has made a start for the administration. He has admitted that "total diplo macy" is needed.
