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

along the highway, particularly
99, in numbers which will

ightly-closed cellophane. Ra

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

box ditto. Room service of ice
cubes and mixers. Room-delivered
simple breakfast. Tele
phones. The last few of these, nartio

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.

Rainwater said the figures in

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.
