We'll be able to turn the ceiling on, like TV, and adjust it to suit the activity we have in mind - romance, badinage or the pursuit of EVE NYE OPPOSES MINIMUM WAGE OF $1.00 In the 1959 legislature Mrs. Nye voted against the minimum woqe bill which would have Insured a minimum wage of one dollar an hour for Oregon's working people who have never had any wage protection. Her vote wos one of the votes that permit the contin uation of 50 to 85 cents an hour wages in this state. These working people are the ' forgotten people who have no labor union to oid them in acquiring a fair living wage. With such substandard wages the whole economy is harmed from the smallest business mon fo our largest merchandisers. The vote of Mrs. Nye Is direct affront to the intelligence of every person in Jackson county and the state of Oregon. Pd Pol. Ad. Elect Gregory Com., P.O.

But I am ready now for lu minous ceilings, after what I've been through the past week, I've had a mortal struggle with a floor lamp. It was a strange and evil Instrument, and in some ways human. I first encountered it one night in my room. It was lean ing over my desk, peering down at my typwritcr with one of its heads. It began at floor level like any normal lamp, with a round brass base for stabil ity. From this the usual tube arose, carrying, I supposed at the time its wiring. I believe now that it actually concealed some kind of diseased nervous system. Where ordinary floor lumps blossom into decorative shades, this one degenerated into a pair of long and flex ible necks, each ending in a bell-shaped head fitted with a searchlight. This bifurcated freak was '4hi "Ill s -WSJJU. S Li V. .a- . i'.

The Applegate and Lake Creek cattlemen's associations have assembled a welcoming committee of 22 stuffed life sized dummies. The dummies will be placed along sidewalks in the Medford business dis trict publicizing the slate meeting. The six dummies pictured above were made by the Applegate association. Appicgate members made 10 dummies while the Lake Creek cattlemen assembled 12. All materials used were donated by association members. Mrs. Helen von dcr Hellen, convention street decoration chairman, was in charge of the project. The state meeting will start Wed nesday and end Saturday. hideous enough in the day time.

I9M JiHl DON'T BE MISLED Many-people favor better regulation of billboards so do we. But ballot Measure 15 is not the answer. It goes far beyond reasonable regu lation. It will eventually hurt you and the entire economy of Oregon. It will seri ously damage Oregon's tourist business our third largest industry. Read why its destructive provisions go so far beyond its innocent-sounding ballot title that the astute Salem Capital Journal editorially calls It a bill of "deceit". Get the facts and you, too, will vote NO on No. 15! -fc MEASURE 15 COULD PUT THE STATE IK THE BILLBOARD BUSINESS GIVE IT A BLANK CHECK TO BUILD EXPENSIVE AND INCONVENIENT OFF-HIGHWAY SITES USING YOUR TAX MONEYI It would authorize the State to acquire land, construct costly accesa roads, and build hodge-podge boards each containing 24 different advertisements, The Stale would aay who could ad vertise who couldn't The rental fee would . cover only construction of boards. The cost of land, and roads (the major cost) would have to come from Federal and State tax money your tax money.

Club 1 ft- from my wife. She's a great one for surprises. I gave its switch a friendly turn. A shaft of white-hot light leaped out and bored into the typwritcr. It ricocheted off the paper in the typewriter and crashed back into my eyes. I have weak eyes. I found the switch and gave it a turn. The light went out; but its mate went on. It stabbed me full in the face. I fell back, throwing up a hand to shield my eyes. I stumbled forward and seized the offensive head by the neck. I gave it a wrench. The beam scraped crazily over the wall. The other head whipped around on its neck and clapped me on the ear. I gave the switch a turn. Tile head that had struck me went on. Now they were both on. I gave the syitch a turn. At last merciful darkness em braced me. I groped to the wall switch and snapped it on. Soft light filled the room. In the light the lamp looked in nocent. I called my wife. "Where did you get this thing?" I asked. "Why, I got it with green stamps," she said. "Isn't it nice?" "It's schizophrenic," I said. "It has two personalities.' "Don't you like it?" she said. "It cost me four books." "I loathe it," I said. "Take it out and kill it." "Why, it's only a floor lamp," she said. "How can you hate it. Besides, it cost me four books." "It tried to blind me," I explained. "You're crazy," she said. She unplugged the lamp and carried it out. The next night it attacked me in the living room. One of the boys had come along and given the switch a turn. The beam caught me a glancing blow across the left cheek. "Turn it off!" I cried, re coiling. He gave the switch another turn. The light went out but its mate went on. It drilled me right between the eyes. "Again!" I ordered, "Turn it again." I covered my eyes with a pillow. He gave the switch a turn. The first beam went on. It gave me another right cross. He gave it the coup de grace. I looked up. It was out. It stood there innocent and coy. mocking me. We finally got rid of the thing. It was it or me. We gave it to the Goodwill. They wouldn't take me. They won't take anything that can't be fixed up as good as new, (Copyright 1960. Times-Mirror Syndicate, Los Angeles, California) Hearst Chain Sells Detroit Newspaper Dettoit - IUPD - Sale of the Detroit Times by Hearst Newspapers to the Detroit News, the only other after noon daily newspaper here, was announced today in a joint statement. The Times, published nearly 40 years by the Hearst chain, ceased pub lication immediately. Today s editions of the De troit News appeared for the first lime with a combined De troll News-Detroit Times log otype at the top of page one. H. G. Kern, general man ager of Hearst Newspapers, said the sale was necessary because publishing costs - in cluding labor, newsprint, equipment and supplies-have risen "far more rapidly than have revenues."

Timber Taxation Is Subject of Magazine Article Eugene - The possibilities of taxation to encourage con servation of timber by own ers of private forest lands, is discussed in an article appear ing in the August, 196G, is sue of Land Economics. Au thor of the article Is Dr. Wes ley C. Ballaine, director of the University of Oregon's bureau of business research. "Taxes and the Conserva tion of Privately Owned Tim ber" deals with the effect of taxation on decisions con cerning conservation. In it Ballaine cites three reasons for growing concern over the effects of taxation. The first is that taxes are becoming cash cost elements. The sec ond is that privately owned forests are now so valuable that the owner is more sus ceptible to "tax stimuli" in taking care of his timberland. The third reason is that the public has become increasing ly aware of the importance of timber lands through the rising pressure on timber reserves. The professor of business economics concludes that the main problem is in the insuf ficient knowledge of the re lationship between taxes and conservation. Only by clas sifying and studying the vari ous groups of timber owners can the information be ac quired, Ballaine writes. Types of taxes affecting conservation d e c 1 sions in clude: real property tax, out put or yield tax, inheritance tax, capital gains tax, and per sonal and corporate income taxes. Differently situated timber owners react in dlf-. ferent ways to these taxes.' and their conservation deci sion are affected in different " ways by the taxes, Ballaine points out.

I esT i rf A To Oregonuns of the Fourth Congret lional District: "State Senator Edwin Durno was, in th candid opinion of Democrats, Republi cans and neutral observers alike, one of the most effective public servants in the - 19)9 legislature. He is no headline hunter, but is instead a committee work horse whose breadth of knowledge and humanitarian approach earned for him the respect of both plaintiffs and col leagues in the important Ways and Means Committee, where he served with distinc tion. I can think of no better representative v of Oregon in the Congress of the United States than a man of such good sense, balanced outlook, familiarity with the Oregon Legislative process, life long dedication to hts fellow man Eddie Durno.
