It u p.'.ptrcd by Tne Ortnn:kn In eo-opr. with Ui Orfoc luu Motor uaoclAUoo. BY ANN SULLIVAN Utt WrlUr. TtM or.(la Where do we eat? The western Oregon traveler has some wonderful placet from which to choose, but he makes his choice under a handicap. The right one isn't always In the right place. The flossy new motel groups are like clusters 01 musnruuim long the main highway. The nromoters big and small have found good income in them but there is no comparable urge la restaurants. a Ida nnlikft motels, outward appearances are rarely indica tive of food quality, except for the general rule of cleanliness and possibly price indication. Who is to tell which one is Filling station attendants fre- Juently seem to De Dngm young amily men who rarely eat out. Motel owners, however, usually can name one or two. At other times of day, it's up to a compromise of your tired ness. Mom's headache and un happiness over how her hair looks. Junior's hunger and the pure luck of where you happen to be when the most of you get hungry. You'll eat too much when traveling anyway. It's a good idea to look for clean places. The cleanest, of course, frequent ly turn out to be expensive, and when you order the full course dinner you hate to send any of It back to the kitchen. If you remember the first rule of traveling, you'll be happier. Don't overeat. Unless you are going on a vacation and to stay In one cot tage in one spot for a period of time, doing your own cooking is difficult. Most of the beach resorts pro vide cottages with cooking facilities as do a goodly propor tion of the inland motels which have been In existence for some time. With the new ones, how ever, the trend Is away from kitchens. They cost more to in stall, and cost much to keep clean after departing travelers. There Is one new trend, only beginning to come into Oregon. That is the motel with combined restaurant The bid is obviously for hotel trade which likes to eat good food without having to go too far tor It One we found at Roseburg, a luxuriously beautiful place with flowers, carpets and lnnerspring mattresses, offers simple break fasts in your room and room service of ice and mixers at night.

A similar breakfast at a coun ter in Uenoe Bay was 90 cents. Hot cakes, sausages and coffee with tomato Juice was 00 cents in Bend at one place, but a four, ounce glass of orange juice was 30 cents! It was frozen orange Juice at that. ii you use your vitamin fresh, we suggest vou carry your own tack of oranges, ruin your own iiiumunuu wun uic neellnj and dribble 1uice on the dish towel you have providently taken along. It's almost impos sible to get freshly-squeezed orange Juice In restaurants. They generally cook eggs to order, however, make their coffee carefully and always pro vide pasteurized milk. Most res taurants could definitely take some lessons from the milling companies on making hot cakes, though. Few restaurants pay much attention to needs of children beyond having a high chair handy. However, some of the best of them will serve half por tion plates at reduced prices. Feeding the family dug. should you be foolish or suft-ht-arted enough to take him along, will be a problem. If you have a pan for him and an extra can of ditf; food or two, he should fare all right. It is amazing how co operative waitresses are to help you take the scraps out to him. "Interesting" eating places are scattered throughout the state, with most of them clus tered in large towns. There are always hamburgers available, with many of the roadside eating places making use of frozen food storage cab inets to assure the freshness of their meat. And If you should happen along at the right time at the little Inn at the Sea Lion caves, near Florence, perhaps there will be a hot apple pic (with ice cream, of course) fresh out of the oven. Theater Children Receive Warnings On Swelled Heads New York (U.R) Parents who are planning theatrical ca reers for their children are warn ed that child actresses and act ors must be kept "very busy" if they are to retain natural pos sibilities. Frankie Thomas Jr., famed child actor of the 1930s, who rose to stardom In the hit piny and movie "Wednesday's Child," warned that success could be "dangerous" for stage and film moppets. "In the theater, success can come overnight," he said. "It's difficult for an adult to keep his feet on the ground when It comes, but for a child It's even toucher. More Than Ever "Today, there are more chll dnrn than ever In show busi ness. There are 15 or 20 on Broadway right now. Scores more are on the movie lots. The parents of these children should do everything they can to keep them from becoming 'swell headed' at their little successes. "Once a child actor or any actor begins to tnke the good notices too seriously, his work begins to deteriorate." lie said a child with an inflat ed ego would find it difficult to adjust himself to the problems of adult life. "To stay clear of this danger which I think is a very serious one for any person going into show business I think U s nec essary to keep busy with studies, sports and olher activities," he snld. "It Is also necessmy to have a sane attitude about commend able notices. The child actor should be told that each suc cess is Just a minor stepping stone in his career and that he should forget it and look ahead to other roles and other suc cesses. High School Students Killed in Auto Crash Lewlslon. Ida.. M;iy 2(i UR) Two Lewlslon high school ath letes, who were to have been graduated last night were killed vesterdav when their car went out of control and overturned three miles south of here. The dead arc Mike Onicll and Don Mclntvre. Donnld Phillips driver nf the car, was critically injured. In the Day's News By FHANK JENKINS From Philadelphia: "A 39-year-old research chem ist of Russian extraction is held here in S100.000 bail charged with receiving atomic bomb se crets from Dr. Klaus Fuchs and turning them over to Soviet Russia." THE poor devil s name is Harry Gold. He seems to be dif ferent from Fuchs, who was a top atomic scientist himself. Gold is a bio-chemist. He has been working on a heart research program financed by the gov ernment. His work apparently has no connection with atomic research, and he himself seems to know nothing in particular about atomic science. As nearly as one can ludge from the early reports, he is just intermediary. He iook spy stuff from Fuchs and passed it on to the Russians. Among other things, he seems to be a colorless sort of individual. He was therefore, you see, EX ACTLY THE KIND OF PER SON FUCHS NEEDED, because he was the sort upon whom sus picion would not readily fall. IN THE preceding paragraph, the term "poor devil" is used advisedly. Gold is quoted by the FBI as having said when he was taken into custody: I thought I would be helping nation whose final aims I ap proved along the road to indus trial strength. Particularly was I taken with the Idea that what ever I did would GO TO HELP MAKING LIVING CON DITIONS FAR MORE ADVANCED." THAT, of course, was back in 1945. In 1945, a lot of peo ple were deceived as to Russia. But even in 1945 it was becom ing evident that the Russian com munist system was NOT a great advance along the road to human freedom and opportunity. Any one who thought so was just a rattle-brained thinker. After all. people who can't straight are to be pitied. make so nast. He had a green car of that make. So he blew his top. He called the cops, climbed into the radio prowl car that answered his summons and he and the policeman chased the driver of the green car pell-mell through the streets. It got away. About the time it got away, Harry began to think. Maybe it wasn't his car. So he went back to where he had parked his bus, and there it was, right where he had left it, safe and sound. He had merely jumped to a wrong conclusion. SO MANY people jump to conclusions, including our parlor pinks who have jumped to the conclusion that communism, as practiced in Russia, is a great forward movement and ought to SOMETHING TO BEPORT i Milwaukee U.R) Patrol-1 man Robert O'Neill had little to report as he called into his 1 precinct but he was asking for i a patrol wagon before he hung up.
