MARCH 1. 1961 Try and Stop Me By BENNETT CERF THEY TELL ABOUT a fountain in a town in Northern Italy where any wish you make, the legend has it, will Ultimately be granted. One day a tourist and his wife were gazing raptly at the fountain, making their wishes, when the wife suddenly lost her balance and fell in with a mighty splash. "Golly," exclaimed the husband. "I never rea lized these things really work!" Nancy Mltford, popular British novelist, now re sides in Paris, where she was asked, "Is your new book at the top of the best seller list In Britain?" Replied Miss Mltford, "How little you understand my compatriot! The top British bestseller Is always the biography of an animal. Elsa, the lioness, has Just been re placed by an otter and that will retain its priority until some one writes the sad life of a female weasel." 1961. by Bennett Cerf.

In the Day's News By FRANK JENKINS Along with its century-old problems of taxes, the budget, the state of the common wealth, adequate laws against crime and the enforcement thereof, the 1861 session of the Oregon legislature faces another issue. The issue is this: Shall we or shall we not alter the present structure of our state government, substi tuting for what we have had something new and different and, presumably, more modern. WHAT are the changes the 19 6 1 Oregon legislature must consider? The answer is that the gov ernor is proposing what he calls a cabinet form of govern ment, which would involve a reshuffle of the state's institu tions and would place more responsibility and consider ably more authority in the governor's hands. Among other changes, it would place in the governor's hands many of the powers exercised for the past half century by the state board of control. What shall we do about it? ' Shall we go along with the governor's proposal? Or shall we leave the structure of Ore gon's government substantial ly as it has been? AT this point, I'd like to quote Charley Stanton, editor of the Roseburg News Review, one of Oregon's most i m passioned defenders, an Oregonian to the core, an Oregonian who likes to visit other states (preferably by automobile, so that he can see things and talk to people), who sees the significant things about other states, who tells what is good about them and what is bad about them - but has his happiest moments when he crosses back over the state line . . . back HOME . . . and especially when he crosses the divide and drops down into his own domain, which is the Basin of the Umpqua. There is where he was born. There he has lived, and there is where his heart is. Of Ore gon, and of these proposed changes in the existing struc ture of Oregon's government, he says in a recent issue of the News-Review: "RESISTANCE to the reor- ganization program pro- posed by Governor Hatfield seems to be growing through out the state. People do not seem to be opposed to the program simply because they object to change. But there is a great fear, judging from conversations, interviews, let ters to the editor, editorial comment and other expres sions of opinion against any procedures by which more politics could sift into our form of government. "Oregon has had a form of government that has been ex tremely free from graft . . . One reason we have so little graft and corruption is be cause o our existing form of government. It is true that much of our state government isn't responsible to personal wishes of the governor. We have a great many commis sions, agencies, departments and divisions upon which the governor has difficulty in put ting the finger of authority. "But we have, too, a great many people participating in government. We have numer ous advisory committees, made up of citizens who con tribute to government largely at their own expense. They look upon citizenship as a DUTY, and they pay from their own pockets to be good citizens. "Because many citizens have a finger in government (in Oregon) there isn't much possibility of the spoils system being carried too far, or of graft existing for any appreci able period." V17ELL, there it is. In a nut- ' shell. Oregon is, as Mr. Stanton says, a rather unusual state. It has a rather unusual background. Included in its background is a long tradition of good government. Included also is a long tradition of par ticipation - at their own ex. Portland Dealer Hikes Gas Price Portland - (OT - John Das kalos raised the price of gaso line today, but was still .sell ing it at 23.9 for regular and 28.9 for premium. Daskalos sold regular Mon day and Tuesday at 19.9 cents per gallon. He issued a per sonal "declaralion of indepen dence" and said he would pur chase gasoline from the open market after terminating his agreement with Texaco, Inc. The operator nf the Rapid Car Wash in downtown Port land said his aim in conduct ing the gas war was to try to cause major firms to sell gaso line at the same wholesale price to one and all in a given area. Daskalos said his sales vol ume was seven times normal during the two days. He esti mated it had cost him some $3,500. "I have learned my lesson," he said. "It is impossible for me as an individual to affect the price structure of the pe troleum industry." Government To Buy Lamb Carcasses Washington-OiPII-The Agri culture Department has an nounced plans to buy .frozen lamb carcasses. The lamb will be purchased with surplus removal funds and donated to nonprofit In. stitilutions. pense, often at their own in convenience and at the cost of neglecting their own business - by citizens in the govern ment affairs of their slate. These citizens, in their vol untary participation in public affairs, have been motivated by PRIDE in their state and by their desire to see that its governmental affairs are nan rled wisely and well. I quite agree with Charley Stanton that it would be un wise. IN OREGON, to risk the breaking up of this back ground of citizen participa tion in the business of government. 21 Xftf CAPT. H. C. DUFF Heads Inspection Team. aval Reserve Unit Here To Be Inspected Wall Street Chatter New Yoik-iuril-ln the past, food chains were preferred to food producers for the more profitable growth - but today the situation is reversed, ac cording to Investors Research Co. The advisory service says food chains will probably stay relatively close to the pace of the general economy and thus the group possesses only aver age appeal for investors from a capital gains standpoint. On the other hand, the capi tal appreciation probabilities presented by the "outstanding technical strength" found in many food producing com panies deserve attention well ahead of food chain securities, it finds. Investors research says a switch of any positions held in food chain shares directly into the food producing group is warranted at this time. Spe cifically, it recommends Gen eral Foods, Gerber Products, H. J. Heinz and Standard Brands. Capt. H. C. Duff, assistant chief of staff for Naval re serve and training for the 13th Naval district, Seattle, will head i team of inspecting officers al the annual "apprai sal" of Naval Reserve Elec tronics Division 13-5, Mcd ford, tomorrow. Accompanying Captain Duff will be Cmdr. E. B. Fiorini, of the Commandant's staff, Seat tle; LI. Cmdr. 11. E. Guilders, surface division program offi cer, and P. D. Columa, person nelmnn first class, who is serv ing as group recorder. An all-day scrutiny of the Medford unit's training, ad ministration, and leadership departments will be held, in addition to a personnel inspec tion during the regular eve ning drill. The group also will inspect facilities and personnel at North Bend, Grants Pass, and Klamath Falls during their tour of southern Oregon units. Captain Duff is a graduate of the Naval academy, and during World War II he was in anti-submarine warfare in the north Atlantic. As com manding officer of the USS Flaherty, a destroyer, he was instrumental In sinking the German submarine U-546 and in the capture of its command ing officer and other members , of the crew. j Active in the post-war Naval , reserve program, he recently completed a tour of duty at I tne newly established Naval reserve training command at i Omaha, Neb., as senior mem-: ber of the Naval reserve in-1 spcction board. SHOW ME THE WAY Lone - le - Saunier, France -IDPU-Crowds were standing in line at the births-marriages-anddeaths counters at the townhall Tuesday when a man walked in without clothes. Women screamed. The man hesitated momentarily, then disappeared. A policeman quickly caught the male strol ler who explained that he was a draftee who had just under gone his medical and got lost in the townhall corridors. For representation in the fast-growing chemical indus try, particularly as vehicles for long-term growth, Good body & Co. suggests Allied Chemical, Diamond Alkali, DuPont, Hcyden Newport, In ternational Minerals & Chemi cals, and Union Carbide.
