Fair Kiddieland
Proposal Heard
Salem - IUPD - The State Fair
commission Tuesday heard
plans for a "Disneyland
type" of kiddieland at the
Oregon State Fair. .
Robert Cohn of San Fran
cisco, operator of West Coast
Shows, Inc., made the pro
posal and suggested a "Story
book Village," based on char
acters from Grimm's Fairy
Tales.
The area, he said, would
include 15 to 17 rides, food
stands and a gift shop.
Cohn, who already has a
contract for rides at the 1961
State Fair, said if the com
mission gives him an extend
ed five-year contract he could
begin at once on the village
and have at least part of it
ready for the 1961 fair.
Also bidding for a carnival
contract for the fair begin-
Kiing in 1962 was Andy Ander
son of Rainier Shows, Tacoma.
Fair manager Howard
Maple recommended that no
rides cost more than 35 cents.

Poster Campaign Planned To Alert
Illegal Booze Drinkers of Dangers
Washington niPD It doesn't
take much lead to kill you.
A bottle of moonshine
whisky may have more than
enough.
That warning came from
federal revenue agents who
disclosed plans for a nation
wide poster campaign to alert
people to this danger in il
legal whisky.
The Internal Revenue Serv
ice plans to put posters from
coast to coast by mid-December,
in time for the holiday
rush.
Christmas is a big selling
season for non-tax paid booze
as well as the legal variety.
The service's field offices
also are being, alerted so they
can handle injuries from
newspapers and the public.
Lead Is Killer
As a result of some recent
medical findings, revenue
agents are now sure that it
has been the lead and not the
alcohol that has done in im
bibers of "white lightning,"
'corn liquor," "Bath tub
gin" and other potions distill
ed on the sly.
Most of the lead -tainted
moonshine has been found In
the South, where illicit dis
tilling is most common. But
the problem is not confined
FACTORY SALES DROP
Washington -IUPD - Factory
sales dropped to a 12 -month
low in October and new
orders and inventories also
declined. The Commerce De
partment reported Monday
that new orders fell by $1.1
billion, the largest one-month
loss all year. Officials said the
drop appeared to stem from
temporary decline in Defense
Department contracting for
aircraft, missiles and electron
ic equipment.
GUARANTEED
Dallas, Tex. -IUPD- Sign on
a clothing rack in a Dallas
store: "Guaranteed, while
they last."
to that section alone, accord'
ing to Thomas F. Casey, as
sistant chief of alcohol and
tobacco tax enforcement of
the revenue service.
Considerable quantities of
illegal liquor is shipped from
the South to more Northern
cities, including Washington,
Baltimore, New YorK, Jersey
City, Philadelphia, Detroit,
Pittsburgh and Chicago,
Casey said.
Moreover, in many parts of
the country moonshiners cook
their mash and distill their
spirits in ways likely to leave
lead salts in the final product.
Solder Prime Source
Revenue agents believe that
a prime source of lead in
moonshine is solder used to
fasten together pieces of
homemade s t il 1 s. Another
source of the metallic poison
is auto radiators, a favorite
makeshift condenser. The
radiators, stripped from old
cars, often are patched with
solder to plug leaks.
It takes very little lead to
do a lot of damage. If it
doesn't kill you, the metallic
poison can cause paralysis,
blindness, severe abdominal
ailments and mental disorders.

Northwest Said Above Averaqe in Job Prospects
Spokane - 0IPD - The North
west was termed a region
"with some rather serious in
dustrial problems but pos
sibly better than average
prospects," by M 1 n e r H.
Baker, Seattle, vice president
of the Seattle First National
Bank.
Baker spoke at the first of
this year's annual customer
meetings conducted by Bonne
ville Power Administration.
Baker said that despite two
concepts which "are 'part of
our regional economic folk
lore," the Northwest is aver
age In both both population
growth and Income.
He added, "all of our ap
parent Improvement over the
national pattern in industrial
jobs has been due to one in
dustry, aircraft." Washington
and Oregon, he said, had gain
ed 58,000 industrial jobs from
1950 to 1959 - 10,000 in var
ious Oregon Industries and
48,000 in Washington's air
craft industry.
"I sec no forces at hand
which are likely to give us
really substantial growth in
the next 10 years," he said.
Baker cited the forest indus
try, particularly in such items
as wood pulp, soft and hard
board and chemicals, as one
of the area's best prospects
for economic growth but add
ed, "lumber production may
be limited by tho market or
timber resources."
