Use of Electric
Energy Increases
Sale m Statewide use of
electric energy for the 12
months ' ending in ' March,
1961, reached the total of
9,374,378,000 kilowatt hours,
up 4.2 per cent over the pre
vious similar period in 1960,
according to the public util
ity commissioner.
The Increased usage came
In the face of a mild winter
which reflects greater use of
normal appliances rather than
heating equipment.
The 452,280 residential and
rural consumers throughout
the state accounted for 4,246,
135,000 of the total kilowatt
hour consumption.
- Industrial use of electric
energy was also up for the
month of March with Port
land General Electric com
pany reporting an increase of
7.5 per cent and Pacific Pow
er and Light 9 per cent, at
tributable to an upswing in
business and greater use of
"juice by the new shopping
and recreation centers
throughout the state.

In the Day's News
'By FRANK JENKINS
Other than the formalities
of immigrations and customs
and the taxi ride from the air
port into the city-including
the startling experience of
driving on the left side-the
tourist's first contact wun
London is at his hotel, whose
first outpost is the doorman.
He is a magnificient figure,
tall and of a commanding
presence and uniformed like
a field marshal. He is einci-
ency itself. And, contrary to
expectation, cordial and
friendly, even jovial. He as
signs you a porter, directs
the unloading of your luggage
and gets you started through
the doors.
When, the next day, you
start out on the town, he
asks where you want to go,
summons a taxi, tells the driv
er your destination, and opens
the door for you. When you
return, he welcomes you
home.
AT THE elevators-which is
to say, the "lifts"-there is
no starter. As has been men
tioned here, they are fully au
tomatic, but each Is manned
by a brilliantly uniformed at
tendant, who welcomes you
to his car and pushes the but
tons for you.
One of them yesterday had
an embarrassing experience.
The car was jammed and
packed. About halfway down,
it stopped at a floor where
no one wanted on or off.
When it started again, it
STARTED UP. Then it start
ed down again. Then it
STOPPED. There we were,
packed in like sardines in a
can and nowhere to go. Even
tually, after much pushing of
buttons, it started up, re
versed itself and started down,
and eventually reached the
lobby floor.
What had happened? Pre
sumably, In the squeeze, the
attendant had got pushed
back against the buttons, de
pressing several of them at
once. As a result, the car's
robot brain was left in much
the same situation as the
chameleon that was dropped
on a Scotch plaid. But all
turned out well, and the only
damage was to the elevator
attendant's dignity.
SINCE the time whereof the
, memory of man runneth
not to the contrary thereof,
guests at English inns have
been accustomed upon retir
ing for the night to put their
shoes outside the door to be
picked up and shlned by the
hall porter.
For some reason-possibly
some new concept ot neatness
in the hallways-this hotel is
attempting to discourage this
historic practice. There are
signs instructing you NOT to
put your shoes outside In the
hall but instead to leave them
in the little ante-room that is
a part of your quarters. There,
the signs explain, the porter
will pick them up, clean and
shine them and return them
to the same spot.
But, signs or no signs, as
you walk down the halls at
night, there are still shoes out
side a surprising number of
doors. Tradition dies slowly
in this part of the world.
IN THE U.S.A. loudspeakers
have become an indispensa
ble part and parcel of hotel
life. If Mr. So-and-So doesn't
answer the phone in his room,
he is paged electronically and
the raucous tones of the loud
speaker' are heard all over
the place-in the lobbies, the
dining rooms, the bars and
everywhere else a guest might
be expected to be.
Here paging is a much more
dignified procedure. Small
boys, immaculately uniform
ed and with fresh English
faces-English children are uni
formly charming - go from
group to group in the lobbies
and the dining rooms, carry
ing cards in framed folders.
On the cards, neatly printed,
ia the name of the person
being paged. They utter no
word, merely displaying the
card in group after group and
to person after person.
It is a pleasant custom and
goes far to make life less
hectic and noisy, But one can't
help wondering about the per
son at the other end of the
line. Life for him must be a
bit boresome as he waits
while the page boys circulate
in their courteous and deferen
tial way through the crowded
public rooms.

Bird Watchers Seek
Barn Owl, Herons
Jackson county bird watch
ers are trying to locate a barn
owl and some black crowned
night herons in preparation
for the annual May 30 bird
census.
According to Maj. Gen.

-of the Public Housing author
ity for the Pacific coast, will
discuss the U. S. Housing Act
of 1937. The act has made
funds available to local com
munities to make surveys and
to establish housing projects
for elderly people with low
income. . . .
Also speaking will be Gene
Rossman, executive director
of the Portland Housing Au
thority and regional vice
president of the National As
sociation of Housing and Re
development Officials, and
Don Byers, architect for the
150-unit public housing proj
ect in Portland.
Meeting Plannad
Rossman spoke to the coun
cil earlier this year when be
visited Medford in late March
as guest of Mayor John Sni
der. At that time, a public
meeting wsa planned to take
place when Spalding was
available to answed questions.
The three speakers will an
swer questions that have al
ready been submitted, as well
as those presented by persons
attending. The RVCA housing
committee has asked that per
sons objecting to establishing
a public housing authority lo
cally be present to clear up
misunderstandings of the pur
pose in re-activating the au
thority In the county.
Group spokesmen said the
reactivation was requested by
the county court in August
of 1960 by the RVCA after
studying the situation for two
years. Since then two public
meetings have been sponsored
by the council.
According to 1960 census
figures, in Jackson county
there are some 73,962 persons,
of which 10.9 per cent are
over 65 years of age.
Ashland Percentage
In Ashland, the percentage
over 65 is 14.2, also reported
ly above the national aver
age. Rossman points out that the
purpose of the public housing
act is to provide decent and
sanitary living facilities for
those who can not afford rent
charged for adequate private
housing, which must be built
by private enterprise and op
erated at a profit.
Questions regarding the
coming program may be sent
to Gene Williams, chairman
