BY ANN SULLIVAN SttU Wmsr. Tht OrtioollD Oregon motorists can sleep In the lap of luxury this summer. An amazing network of new motels, particulars' along U. S. highways 99 and 101, are avail able to the motoring public with all the comforts of home and a few advantages home doesn't provide. Minimum prices for two per sons in some of the newest of these range from $4.50 to $6.50. For most of these, the attributes follow a pattern: A cluster ol smau apartments usually built around a court. Convenient parking place for cars either In front of or in a neighboring carport. Wall-to-wall carpel. Private bathroom with shower, tub or both. Copious quantities of hot water and fresh, clean towels. Inner spring mattresses, clean sheets and quality wool blankets. Quick, easy heat of some sort. Attractive, harmonized interior colors, drapes and spread. It all sounds and feels good after a long day of driving. Some of the newer motels they have mushroomed up along the highway, particularly 99, in numbers which will astound you have some added conveniences. On a recent dou ble week-end trip down 101 to Coos Bay, over to Roscburg and back 99 and over 30 to The Dalles, down 97 to Bend and back the new Warm Springs cut off this writer found the follow ing in some of the motels: Individual sanitary heavy paper shower mats which do not dissolve and on which you can stand while taking a shower. Individual sanitized drinking ? lasses, covered with a heavy, ightly-closed cellophane. Ra dios, some with coin-operated turn-on, others free. Fine pan eled walls. Free city newspaper. Flowers at the front doorstep. Hanging baskets of fuchsia. Motel-operated restaurant for convenience of patrons. Recre ation room with bar and juke box ditto. Room service of ice cubes and mixers. Room-delivered simple breakfast. Tele phones. The last few of these, nartio ularly room service and tele- catering to the through traffic don't bother with kitchenets for customers. They cost more ini tially, and take more time to clean up after departing guests. A number have a few units with kitchenets, with prices up a dollar or two over the plain units. One attractive motel In Bend would not rent the apartments with kitchenets unless the renter planned to stay at least four or five days. "It takes my wife two houra to clean one up," said the motel owner. Older motels have more kitchen equipment, and most beach accommodations do. Down 99 in the valley, there seemed to be a tendency to rent these older and no longer as popular units out to construo- phones, are bids for hotel trade, j lion and other workers by the moiorisis ao not line to go too j monin. far to eat, and many, especially Judging by the numbers of salesmen, like the use of a tele-; cars at the most modern of the phone. , . motels at night, even in the off The coast has the greatest I season, the best ones fill un first. variety of accommodations, be-.

Mrs. Davis included in the service a very humorous bit of advice to Mrs. Williams, on the duties of the wife of a PTA president. Fol lowing the installation a report on the governor's conference was given by Miss Marcella Mc Cullough, who spoke on Youth and Employment, and pointed out the school's duty to instill in youth a pride in themselves and in what they can do. She stated the speakers at the con ference brought out the facts that the children must be taught languages in elementary schools to fit them for life as citizens of the new world, and that the curriculum should be changed to put vocational training in the elementary schools. It was re ported that only four out of 30 pupils in an Ashland class knew the true meaning of Christmas, Miss McCullough stated, in com menting on a request from Hope Presbyterian church, that Bible readings be held in the Rogue River schools. Mrs. Reed Carter, senior mem ber of the school board an nounced an election will be held May 15, from 7 to 9 p. m. and Police Warning on 1 'Orphan Fawns' in Forests ol State The Medford office of the state police today reemphasized this w e e k's warning by t h e state game commission against "pick ing up" tiny fawns which may be found in southern Oregon forests. It is a violation of the law to do so, police said, and arrests will be made if lawbreakers are found. Charles Lockwood, state game director, yesterday explained the basis for the law. "The does carefully hide their fawns during the first few weeks of infancy," he said, "leaving them through the day. sometimes for a period of 10 hours. By her absence the doe protects the fawn, for her scent and presence would attract predators to the fawn. Even when able to run short distances, the fawn's best protection lies in concealment," he said. Some uninformed and well meaning people conclude that it is up to them to save "the poor little orphan," Lockwood said, but somewhere in the forest shadows the mother is waiting to return. Lockwood also pointed out that after deer get past the appealing fawn stage, they can become unruly and frequently destructive animals.
