Now Signs First Step in State Efforts
To Interest More Tourists in Visiting
Br WILLIAM WARREN
Salem U.R) Oregon
"out-California-ing" California
when it comes to catering to the
tourists in the increasingly tour
ist-conscious West.
It's a matter of approach to
the tourists as they enter or
travel through the state, and
Oregon is doing it through the
alteration of the top and most
important line on the signs in
front of the several branch of
fices of the secretary of state
throughout Oregon.
The old signs in front of the
familiar white buildings with
their red-tile roofs read in black
and white at the top:
SECRETARY OF STATE
Then followed the list of what
might be found in the branch.
Now, at recent suggestion of
the United Press, Secretary of
State Earl T. Newbry has made
the first line read:
TOURIST INFORMATION
And he is replacing the black
and white signs with blue and
gold signs Oregon's state col
ors. The background is blue and
the letters are gold and lumin
ous so that they shine out at
night in the reflection of the
lights of passing cars,
The first of the new signs was
put up at Oregon City branch.
The Dalles is next. The state's
gardener is in The Dalles this
weekend to lanscape the lot of
the tourist information branch
office there. He will go to Hood
River Monday, then on to Baker,
and Ontario, and back by way
of the coast, touching at North
Bend and Astoria.
Eventually all the branch of
fices will be landscaped and the
sign will go up welcoming tour
ists to drop in and get informa
tion about Oregon.
These branches are located at

COFFEE TABLE. Fir plywood
coffee table is so simple to build
even an amateur can do profes

I Coffee Table Is
Easy To Build
Here's a strikingly handsome
piece of furniture for your living
room that you can build in an I
afternoon..
Designed by New York author
and designer Norman Cherner,
this coffee table should cost you
only about $8.50 (national aver
age based on latest available
Chicago retail sales for fir ply
wood compiled by leading trade
magazines; prices may vary de
pending upon source of supply).
The table consists of one panel
of inexpensive fir plywood
framed with simple stringers
and supported on four wooden
I dowel legs. At one end there are
four holes for potted plants.
Without pots, the holes serve to
relieve the simplicity of the
I design.
The long edge is framed on
both sides with an upright
I stringer and the ends with flat
stringers which can be painted
la contrasting color.
If you are handy with tools
you can probably build the piece
in three hours.

lumber dealer or send ten cents

tion, Tacoma, Wash.
itish LDS Church
Dedication Planned
London U.R David O. Mc
Kay, president of the council of
elders of the Church of Jesus
Christ of Latter Day Saints, will
dedicate the ground for Britain's
first Mormon Temple Monday.
Church headquarters said it I
will take two to three years to I
build the temple near the village
of New Chapel in Surrey. It will
be approximately the same size
as the temple dedicated by Mc
Kay in Switzerland, considerably
smaller than those in the United
States.
The ceremonies at Surrey will
be private, with attendance lim
ited to members of the Latter
Day Saints. About 100 are ex
pected to attend.
A church official said McKay
would leave for the United
States "either Wednesday or
Thursday."
Alaska attracted mora than
100,000 motor tourists in 1052. a
