WEEKLY SUNDAY TILL 4:00 MEN'S LISTER BAG Only 4.95 and Clean Sunday, Jon 29, ISS2 By ALINE MOSBY United Press Correspondent four years ago with the flourish of a movie premiere. This 17 by 23-foot establishment was nearly hidden by two searchlights, 25 celebrities, 500 customers and bleachers for the screaming fans. The stand is decorated in cop per and antiquities in early Am erican style, and the atmosphere is early confusion. Six waiters fall over each other to charcoal broil the hot dogs. "That's showmanship," beams proprietor Al Melchior, who's Ann Sothern's ex-m a n a g e r. 'Customers like to see the boys bustle around. It's like a scene from a Marx brothers movie." Filmsters drive up in their Cadillacs to order such delica cies as the mutt (just plain dog with mustard and onion) up to that 45 cent special, the husky with chili, onions and melted cheese. Mostly Adult Trade "We get mostly adults peo ple who like to eat hot dogs but don't want to go to any old place," says Melchior with dig nity. "We get the Cadillac trade. "Johnny Weissmuller holds the record with five hot dogs at one sitting. Ava Gardner likes three. Ginger Rogers always orders 'the Dachshund,' which is a hot dog served with sauer kraut." Since the premiere of The Hot Dog Show, other fancy hot dog stands have blossomed out among the plushy eateries on movietown's restaurant row. One, called Tail o' The Pup, is situated a discreet distance from the elite Tail o The Cock res taurant.

It's an unusual fire fighting machine which takes to the state's 26,000,000 acre timber empire each summer to protect it from destructive fire. Since early this week, hundreds of high school and college' youths, including a fair sprinkling of girls, have been moving out of cities and towns to the back country to take their places alongside veteran forest fire fighters. 407 Lookouts Required The job of protecting Ore gon's mighty green timber wealth from fire is a prodigious undertaking. Some 407 lookouts, perched high atop that many mountain peaks and alerted from dawn to dark throughout the summer, are required just to detect smoke when it starts. At 66 suppression camps scat tered throughout all the forest counties on private, state and federal timber lands, hundreds of young, trained fire fighters will be ready all summer to pounce on any blaze that starts. Each crew is headed by a vet eran of many forest fires. And backing up this fighting force are some 65,000 loggers with all their equipment and "woods savy."' Tied by Radio Network Lookouts, suppression crews, headquarters, wardens in cars and pick-up are all tied together in an instant-contact radio-telephone network which includes 1740 send-and-receive radio sets in addition to land radio stations at Salem and Portland head quarters. In this huge fire department are 215 tanker trucks, 245 port able pumps, 66 miles of water hose, enough small tools to equip 30,000 men. The U. S. Forest Service has six airplanes and 30 smoke jumpers ready, and the State Foresty department at Salem has one airplane and oth ers available on a rental basis for search and observation.

Peterson is a member employee whose services have been "be yond the line of duty." It is an understatement to say that in the three years he has worked with the department he has kept the machine running smoothly and efficiently in handling highly specialized details. There will be someone to take his place but no one who will be able to do his work. He is not an engineer but a statistician by profession. Yet he has mastered a knowledge of technique and terminology in this time to ob tain a degree. He has just been notified that he has passed his civil service examination qualifying him as an administrative assistant. Dom iciliary members and personnel alike are hoping that he gets his appointment. Grace Stuhr,. chief nurse, is back on duty after leave and has started a flower bed at the nurses' quarters.

Henry Medley finally got away for his plane ride to Port land. It was his fire experience in an airplane and although an old army man with two hitches in the Philippines with the 15th Infantry and the 4th Field Ar tillery, he' was a little jittery at the moment of departure. Medley is going into the eye clinic at the Portland VA hos pital for a delicate eye opera tion. He hopes to be back by the middle of July.

The board of governors of the bar association recommended that attorneys consider each guardianship case upon its own merit and that where hardship is indicated, they recommended members of the bar handle the proceedings on a reduced fee basis or even waive the entire fee. The Oregon Bonus act re quires that a guardian be ap pointed where an incompetent veteran, or the surviving child of a deceased veteran, is entitled to a bonus payment of more than $250. Where payment is $250 or less and no guardianship exists, the payment will be made to the person who has assumed the major responsibility for the care of the minor or incompetent, as determined by the director of veterans' affairs and the depart ment advisory committee.

ROGUE VALLEY 1MB CO. 53,500 Vels Have Received Bonuses Salem (U.R) The bonus division of the state Department of Veterans Affairs said Satur day that 53,500 bonus checks had gone into the mails by the end of the week. This represents payments to 2,089 next of kin of deceased Oregon veterans and 51,411 to living ex-servicemen since June 18, the day the first bonus checks went into the mails.
