Remanufacture Means Jobs
Most cities and towns are eager to welcome new
industries though very few make any realistic effort
to lure payroll producing businesses. 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.

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. But to listen to
