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.

Big 'Fire Department'
Ready for Action in
Forests of Oregon
Portland (U.R) Oregon's! 15,000 parachutes for cargo
largest "fire department" is i dropping to fire fighting crews.
ready for summer action a 2,-000-man
forest fire suppression
force organization along the
lines of a military combat team.
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.
The Forest Service also has

John Peterson is going to be
missed at Engineering. He is
leaving Camp White next week.
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.
The corps of waitresses in the
dining hall were looking then-
best Sunday afternoon when
Photographer McNulty lined
them up to have their pictures
taken.
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.
John Levine made a model
ranch with houses and a corral
all reproduced from photographs
of century old construction and
appearance. He exhibited it at
the Hobby Fair and has now do
nated it to the museum in Jack
sonville as an authentic repro
duction in every detail.

Bar Association
To Waive Charges
Salem U,R) The Oregon
State Bar association has agreed
to waive minimum fees in set
ting up guardianship for bene
ficiaries of the Oregon bonus to
veterans of World War II, offi
cials said Saturday.
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.

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. The
current rate of payment is about
1700 a day.
Oregon voted a bonus to its
veterans of World War II of $10
a month for domestic service or
$15 a month for foreign service
to a maximum in either case of
$600. The average payment is
expected to be about $415.
Hub Saalfield, head of the
bonus division, said veterans
with bonus applications lower
than 60,000 who will not have
been paid by Monday can as
sume that their claims are in
the pending file. There are about
3000 of these. The veterans were
urged not to inquire presently
about the status of their claims,
as this merely slows down the
work of the bonus diivison.
