Tug man, publisher of the Port Umpqua Courier and former editor of the Eugene Register Guard, last week assailed city planning for failure to keep pace with facts of modern traffic. He delivered the key note address to the 11th an nual Northwest Traffic Engi neers conference at Oregon State College Tugman, chairman of both the state parks advisory com mittee and the state travel committee, said off-street parking as an absolute neces sity in urban replanmng. "We have all seen," he said, "the tremendous and costly dislo cations of businesses which have resulted from lack of planning and absence of mod ern traffic management Advocate Changes Tugman advocated changes in zoning laws which would make it possible to set aside areas for industrial develop ment large enough to provide parking for all workers and changes in laws governing central Dusiness areas to re quire every new structure to be provided with enoueh aamonisnea tne as sembled traffic engineers from Oregon, Washington and Idaho, to see that their reports on traffic conditions and traf fic problems reached every editor's desk in effected areas in order to better call atten tion to existing traffic prob lems "We must learn to work to gether to educate the public that what we are trying to do is good sense, not dreamers fancy," Tugman said Institute of Planners Schedule Meeting Vancouver, Wash.

I I I j Diary Jfg2 of a llr? j Bird Watcher sg Saturday, Jan. 18 It was a cool day and especially so in the late afternoon when I fed my birds at home. More than usual came down after I threw the chick scratch on the lawn. I often try to count the different kinds but I never can because they hop and flit about so fast. The easiest to pick out are the adult white crowned sparrows (I'll say 8). The most numerous are the golden crowned sparrows (maybe 25).. The English spar rows give them a close run in numbers. The prettiest are the rufous sided towhees (about 4) with their bright red sides, jet black heads and spots of white on the wings and tail. Then there are a good many juncos. Sunday, Jan. 19 It was one of the prettiest of mornings, all decked out In white and pink and light blue. The freezing fog in the night had left all the trees and grasses covered with a white frost. Then it had moved away from our area, so at dawn all the wispy clouds were pink, with the sky in between a pale blue. Like most of the pageantry in the sky this didn't last for long, but it was an inspiring way to start the day. Early in the afternoon I had a phone call from a man to ask me about two unusual birds he had seen near his home on Court st. Since I wasn't quite sure from his description I went down to take a look. They were evening grosbeaks. These are birds that make you look twice, brown and yellow, with big white patches on the wing and a big bill. There seem to be more than usual around this winter. We have had them at our home place. Monday, Jan. 20 Picked up J. H. at 8 and we took our usual Monday morn ing bird trip. We decided to visit Pompadour Cliffs and ad jacent areas east of Ashland. wrens, but missed them this black billed magpies. This is where we see them and as far of the Cascades where they are regularly resident. We also noticed juniper trees growing near there, so I guess it is more like eastern Oregon than most areas on this side. We found a Townsend's solitaire This trip brought my 1958 Like many bird watchers I competing with myself on day home place lists.

She says it is just a single bird, but has started laying eggs and lays one about every other day for a total of 17 to date. I'm no expert on pet birds but this sounds like an interesting bit of information. Signs of spring, or perhaps it would be better to say, signs of a mild winter: I saw Sacred Heart hospital. Monday ing by the road-side. A friend iris right out of her garden. Friday, Jan. 24 Yesterday and today I have seen a little ruby crowned kinglet quite a few times. It olive green with wing bars and a white eye ring. It comes to the suet feeder near our window and to the bacon grease I put on the branch of an evergreen even nearer. Then some times it shows its ruby crown. This is just a spot of brilliant red on the top of the head, toward the back, a real crown jewel so here is one bird that fits its name. The female doesn't have the red spot, but even the male doesn't show it off always. When he does its brightness really hits you. In another month he will probably be showing it more because it is really there for the eyes of female kinglets. But like other particular beauties it helps to make a beautiful world. T.M. E.

Lumber Market Remains Spotty The lumber market in Ore gon remained spotty to poor last week, although some seg ments showed definite im provement in market activity, according to two lumber in dustry news letters.
