Wayside Industries About 5 per cent of the total support of ClJ&mber budgets was by wayside industries such as hotels, motels, restaurants and sprvice stations, the group said The wayside industries, the group noted, provided about 23 per cent of the 320,000 spent by wage earners , rights in Oregon c REST PERIOD REGULATIONS & This is the way particular regulations on working condi tions of women are made un der Oregon's Wage and Hour Law. Employer and employee representatives of an industry meet with public representa tives to form recommenda tions on standards of employ ment for women in that in dustry. These recommenda tions are given to the Wage and Hour Commission for ap proval. Any disapproved may be taken up again in the same or a new conference. Q. I am a saleslady in a store. Isn't there a rule setting relief time after two hours' work? A. Yours is a yes and no ques tion. Rest periods for women em ployees in retail stores must be given on the basis of 10 minutes for four hours working time or major fraction thereof. When ever feasible, the rest break should be in the middle of the work period, but that is not an absolute rule. If less than 2 hours of a day's work conies in the morning, the rest period' may go into a 20-minute afternoon break-. O O. We are women workers in a factory. Shouldn't we get time and a half on holidays? A. Yes, if you are regularly employed. This applies to the Jiolidays of New Year's, Memo rial TJay, Independence Day, La bor Day, Thanksgiving and Christmas. This does not hold for all occupations since regula&ons vary with industries.

Ste PimeSmirnoffFls.Inc. Hartford, Conn. Southern Oregon Chambers on tourist promotion. The group discussed two plans for tourist promotion in 1956. One plan would continue the Southern Oregon Hospitality Un limited program on the limited basis of S900 for advertising. The cost is shared by the five Cham bers. The program allows one ad in Westways magazine, two in the Los Angeles Examiner and one in the Los Angeles Times. Coupons for Literature The ads would carry coupons through which vacation litera ture of the area is distributed upon request. Ads would be placed in March and April to allow prospective visitors time to make injuries in connection with vacation plans. The group noted that during the past two years, some 800 in quiries have been made with coupons from California news papers. Literature and folders from each of the five Chambers was sent to each inquirer. The other plan proposed is an expanded program depending upon increased support of Cham bers by wayside industries in Southern Oregon. The plan would be an expanded advertis ing program, and would cost about S4.500. It would include three ads in Sunset magazine, two in Westways magazine, and five in Sunday editions of the Las Angeles Times and Exam iner. The ads would include re ply coupons. Radio Spots Planned Also planned are radio spots in Portland, Seattle, and Spo kane. Ad placement and radio time would be in proportion to the amount shared in the plan by each Chamber involved. Either plan is subject to ac ceptance and budgeting restrict ions of the boards of directors of various Chambers. The group pointed out that both plans offer a wide latitude for suggested changes and im provements by tourist commit tees, and are based on exper iences of cooperative programs and advertising results in the past two years. They noted that the Los Angeles area represents a ready market for Southern Oregon vacation advertising, but pointed out that the second plan, because of limited funds, could not ( be successful unless adopted by all Chambers. Chambers represented includ ed Jackson County, Klamath Falls, Grants Pass, Ashland and Cave Junction. No Action Planned In Tenneson Case Washington (U.R) The Army said today it does not plan to take any action against Richard Tenneson, turncoat Korean war prisoner who has just returned to the United States. If any charges are placed against Tenneson, experts said, it will be by the Justice Depart ment in a civilian court, not by the military. On the basis of a recent Su preme Court decision, the Army feels it is powerless to bring court martial charges against Tenneson as an Army spokesman put it: "The Army feels it has no jur isdiction in this matter." The Army's position is based on a recent Supreme Court de- cision declaring unconstitutional a provision in the uniform code of military justice giving the military authority to try dis charged service men for crimes committed while in uniform. All of the 21 turncoat prison ers were given dishonorable dis charges on orders of Defense Sec retary Charles E. Wilson when they chose to go to Communist China after the Korean truce. When the first three turncoats returned to the United States, they were immediately arrested by the Army and held for court martial. A U. S. District Court subsequently ordered them re leased by the military on the basis of the Supreme Court de cision. Nixon Presides af Meeting of Cabinet Washington (U.R) Vice President Richard M. Nixon pre sided over a regular weekly Cab inet meeting at the White House today. He presided over the three hour session in place of Presi dent Eisenhower who is in Gettysburg, Pa. Other absentees were Secretary of State John Foster Dulles, Defense Secretary harles E. Wilson and Secretary of Treasurer George M. Hum phrey, who are attending a meet ing in Paris; and Secretary of Interior Douglas McKay, who is out of town. S TAJEl By CLAY R.

Thornton Rules on School Area Changes Salem (U.R) A district boundary board cannot legally change the boundaries of school districts where the "sole pur pose of such change is to take from one district and grant to another a substantial amount of assessed valuation for tax pur poses. Attorney General Robert Y. Thornton said today. His ruling was in response to a query from the district attor ney of Douglas county. Thorn ton said such action by a dis trict boundary board would be an arbitrary and unreasonable exercise of its powers. However, he pointed out that it is not "a wrong in itself to take taxable wealth into consid eration" in determining whether or not school district boundaries shall be changed, and each case must be decided upon its own merits.

Third Tree on Lawn Another white tree in the Lib erace living room is decorated with conventional ornaments, and a third tree on the lawn is brightly lit. Richard Boone, star of TVs "Medic," is a close runner-up in the unusual-tree division. He draped his with bandages, balls of cotton, scissors and stetho scopes to match the doctor char acter he plays on the show. For years Lou Costello's dec orations outside his Sherman Oaks home were the world's most elaborate. Lou sold his home this year. But tourists wrote they were driving to Cali fornia to inspect the display, so he put most of it up at the home of his sister, Myra Kirk, a block away. His display includes a huge Santa climbing down a chimney that spouts bubbles. Danny Thomas' home in Bever ly Hills is another favorite of the crowds who drive around to look at the decorated homes these nights. On his lawn is a Nativity scene featuring 11 two-foot-tall ceramic figures of Bib lical characters imported from Palestine. Christmas carols are heard from a loudspeaker. Santa on Jones' Roof Spike Jones installed a Santa, sleigh and reindeer on his roof. Singer Frankie L ai n e hung twinkling trees on a tree on his front lawn and outlined the house in colored lights. Many movietowners pick Christmas scenery to match the land of sunglasses and swim ming pools. Richard Conte used a huge piece of beach driftwood for hij tree. Jean Simmons and Stewart Granger had old-fashioned green trees in England. But this year they put their ornaments on a big cactus out side the Palms Springs desert home where they are spending the holidays. Jean Hagen and the Robert Taylors are among stars who hung Mexican Christ mas pinatas huge crepe paper animals and birds from the ceiling.. Loretta Young's white tree features antique German orna ments she had collected since she was a child. But starlet Kathleen Hughes claims she has the most unusual yuletide decor in town an old-fashioned green tree to match her old-fashioned black telephone.

The 1955 winners include: Riverside, Calif., and Belle- vue, Wash., for citizens cooper ation in meeting problems of overwhelming population growth. Senator Replies To Charges Made By Bend Attorney Portland U.R) Sen. Richard L. Neuberger yesterday appear ed at a U. S. Forest Service timber hearing to defend himself against a "personal attack." The hearing was to discuss the proposed sale of 75,000,000 board feet of timber in the Ump- qua National Forest, near Windi go Pass. Sen. Neuberger, replying to charges of "politics" 'made by Bend Attorney Alva' Goodrich, said that in official matters re lating to business, he never con sidered whether a person involv ed had supported him during election campaigns. Letter Quoted Goodrich earlier in the hear ing had testified that Sidney Leikens, one of the owners of the L and H Lumber Company of Sutherlin which seeks to buy the timber, had contributed $1000 to Neuberger's election campaign. Goodrich criticized Neuberger for supporting in a letter to Chief Forester Richard McArdle the sale of the timber." Neuberg er quoted from the letter in which he said he "would not take sides in any controversy which involves the interests of two communities in my state, concerning the disposition and use of a public resource." He said his major interest was "in seeing to it that Oregon had maximum possible employment from its timber without doing damage to sound conservation or to watershed and protection." Would Be Competitive Leonard Netzorg, L and H at torney, said the proposed sale would be based on competitive bidding, and there was nothing to assure his company of being the successful bidder. Netzorg said the company's interest in the Crescent . Lake timber was interpreted as an attempt to invade the ponderosa pine area of Bend s lumber in dustry. He said that was not the company s intention. Earlier witnesses testifying before hearing officer C. Carlile Carlson included Marion Cady, manager of the Bend chamber of commerce. Cady said there was no need for creation of a new mill to handle timber included in the proposed sale. Existing Mills Need Timber Cady insisted that existing mills in eastern Oregon could process the timber cut. He said Bend mills, as well as those at Sutherlin, were dependent upon forest service timber, and could use all they could get. Judge Robert W. Sawyer of Bend submitted a statement viewing the sale as a threat to recreation areas of the upper Cascade slopes. He urged a post ponement until more study can be made of effects. The hearing was held to re view an appeal by the Bend Chamber of Commerce and other groups of a decision by McArdle authorizing the sale. Wilsonville Site Favored for Hospital Salpm (u.R) The Salem Chamber of Commerce was on record today in favor of the Wilsonville site for the new $15, 000,000 Portland area mental hospital. Wilsonville is one of two sites under consideration for the pro Dosed hospital. The other is in the Hillsboro area. The state Board of Control is expected to make the choice before the end of this month. Elton Thompson, president of the Salem chamber, pointed out in a letter to Gov. Paul Patter son that the Wilsonville site has fine access from both Portland and Salem by way of the new Portland-Salem freeway. Warmer Air Moves Over Part of Oregon Portland IU.R) Warmer air moved in over Oregon today but residents of some sections of Portland awoke today to find trees, streets and windshields still coated with glare ice. The weather bureau predicted a slow moderatipn of tempera tures and the east wind that froze and pummeled the city for more than three days, had nearly stopped by early today. But morning traffic in Port land and other areas was slowed by icy conditions. Tillamook Man Heads Extension Agent Group Corvallis U.R) Howard Smith of Tillamook today was new president of the Oregon county extension agents associa tion. Other officers elected here yesterday included Gene Lear, Redmond, vice - president; Joe Myers, Albany, secretary-treasurer; and Kenneth C. Minnick, Corvallis, assistant secretary. . Corvallis Voters Approve New School Corvallis (U.R) Voters yes terday gave two to one approval to bond issues totaling $1,695,- 000 for a junior high school, a new water treatment plant and expansion of the sewer svstem. Also approved was an $18,000 annual tax levy for parks and recreation. Less than 1400 voters out of about 8500 eligible turned out. The vote gives the green light to a million dollar junior high school building and a $235,000 water treatment plant for the Mary's peak gravity system. Lineman Seriously Hurt By 60,000 Volt Shock Umatilla '(U.R) A nower company lineman who received a- 60,000-volt jolt yesterday had passed the critical point today, but was still in serious condi tion, according to hospital au thorities here.
