(UPI) Travel Division Spearheads Drive To Keep Visitors Salem - "Keep 'em here another day," and the state s economy will be enriched by another $70 million is the theme behind an expanded .intra-state tourist promotion program of the Oregon state highway department. The department is spear heading a campaign among chambers of commerce, re sorts, trade associations and businesses catering to the traveler to encourage the vis itor to stay a day longer and see more of Oregon's vaca tion attractions. If each of the 9,255,000 mo torists visiting Oregon in 1962 had spent one more day here, their increased expen ditures would have been more than $55 million, State Highway Engineer Forrest Cooper pointed out. Travelers arriving by bus, train, and plane, if each had spent an extra day here, would have Increased this total by an other $15 million, he said Increasing Its Program This is why the highway department is increasing its program of cooperation with local chambers and other or ganizations, urging them to stimulate a local awareness of the importance of the tour ist to the state's economy. The department has an ex tensive campaign of adver tising and promotion to at tract these millions of visit ors to Oregon, Cooper noted, but it is up to the citizen at the local level to make them welcome and keep them hero longer. The expanded intra-state program will include train ing programs in the local com munities to inform business persons, especially those in the retail and service fields, of the vacaton attractions in other areas of the state. This information can be used to sell the visitor on staying to enjoy more of the local ac tivities or other vacation highlights in areas he will bo traveling through. The highway department Is working with the Oregon Chamber Executives, an or ganization of chamber of com merce officials; the Oregon State Motor association; Ore gon division of Toastmiisters International; Oregon Bank ers association; Oregon News paper Publishers association; Oregon Association of Broad casters; Oregon Motor Hotel association; Oregon Hotel as sociation; Oregon Restaurant and Beverage association; and Governor Hatfield's Oregon welcome committee. Firms Partlclpatlna Many private firms also are participating in the plans to welcome out-of-stalo visitors to Oregon. They include Port land Federal Savings, Pacif ic Power and Light company, Portlund General Electric company, Pacific Northwest Boll Telephone company, Northwest Natural Gas com- pany, united States Nation al Bank of Portland, First National Bank of Oregon, and many others. As part of the enlarged pro gram, Donald E. Seelev. Sa. loin, has been employed by the highway departments iravci nivislon as a special Intra-state co-ordinator for the tourist program. He is working directly with these associations, firms, chambers of commerce, and other groups in plans to encourage visitors to slay longer. The highway department will again provide full-color window posters for use in business wndows and similar "tent" cards for display on restaurant tables. These post ers and cards will have space for imprinting information on local vacation activities. The department also is pro viding color brochures on sce nic attractions, camping areas, community events, sports ac tivities, and other activities for distribution by chambers of commerce and other offices. Citrus Crop Said Cut 25 Per Cent By Hard Freeze Washington -IUPD- The Ag riculture Department esti mates the hard freezes in De cember and January cut the 1HB2-63 citrus crop 25 per cent below tne previous year. The March 1 forecast of the 1962-63 orange crop indi cated a production of 105 mil lion boxes, 24 per cent smaller than the 1961-62 record high output. The grapefruit forecast of 35.4 million boxes was 18 per cent less than the 1961-62 crop. The lemon crop, at 11.5 mil lion boxes, is nearly one-third smaller than last year. The department said orange prospects in Florida declined additional 4 per cent in February because of contin ued loss of freeze damaged fruit. Valencia Crop Down Of the total orange crop for 1962-63, an estimated 60.2 mil lion boxes are early, mid-season, and navel varieties, 10 per cent fewer than last year. A Valencia crop of 45.2 mil lion boxes ' now is forecast less than two-thirds as large as the 1961-62 crop. The department's general crop report as of March 1 said continued cold weather during February over the eastern half of the nation caused further tosses of fall sown oats and barley. Cold also slowed development of winter vegetable crops, de layed peach blooms, and ac centuated shortages of rough age for livestock by eliminat ing most of the winter pas ture in the southeast, in sharp contrast, relatively mild Feb ruary weather In western re gions favored crops and live stock. The winter potato crop, grown in California and Flor ida, is 8 per cent smaller than last year, the department said. The start of field activities was delayed In most of the area cast of the Rockies. -r'OHD MAIL TRIBUNE, MEDFORD, OREGON Simplicity Marks Fashions in Russia Moscow-fllPli-Simplicity and an "elegant cut" are the key notes for the well-dressed Rus sian woman this year, accord ing to Moscow Radio.

BECHEREH United Press International St. Louis, Mo, -IUPU- With the "blue laws" declared un constitutional in Missouri, a "show me" Sunday shopper will be able to buy baby bot tles as well as a bottle of beer. The State Supreme Court ruled at Jefferson City the 137-year-old "blue laws ' were so "vague" and "backwoodsy" as to render themselves in. capable of reasonable enforce ment. A traveler In St. Louis com. plained recently he could buy a bottle of 3.2 beer but he could not get a baby bottle to replace his child s las broken one because such Items were not listed as "other articles of immediate neces sity." Plans In the legislature call for the Senate to continue to study blue law proposals, but limiting itself only to a bill which would redefine what could and could not be sold. For the present, Missouri stands without a Sunday clos ing statute. Language of Pioneer Judge C. A. Leedy Jr. point ed out in the unanimous writ ten decision some of the pro visions of the statute "are couched in the language of the pioneer, backwoods era during which it was original ly enacted." He said a portion of the blue law prohibited the keeping open on Sunday of "any ale or porter house, gro cery or tippling shop." The court based its reversal of a 1061 decision on the phrase in the statute on "oth er articles of immediate ne cessity." It said the phrase was so vague and Indefinite that It cannot be ascertained with any reasonable degree of certainty what sales are per mitted, and what sales are interdicted, thus making the statute Incapable of rational enforcement, and hence void." Spokesmen for some dis count chains here said they plan to open for business Sun day. It appeared likely that other chain and discount stores would follow suit, , Small Stores To Hurt One group which will prob ably be hurt by the court's . decision includes the small confectionery and delicates-. sen owners who did a big business on Sundays when the larger chain stores did not open. , A few short hours after the court's decision was announc ed, the Senate criminal juris prudence subcommittee rec ommended that the state adopt a Sunday closing law comparable to the Pennsyl vania statutes. Pennsylvania law spells out certain Items that can or can not be sold on Sunday, The ruling Involved Fred Harvey Inc., which operates stores at the St. Louis Union Station. The company had drawn up a list of articles it considered essential for sale to travelers and railroad em ployees. The ruling centered on an appeal to that list by the St. ' Louis board of police com missioners and the attorney general. . ANTIQUES RECOVERED London-ftlPD-Police have re covered most of a $280,000 collection of Meissen porce lain figures and antiques stolen 46 days ago from the home of the late Mrs. Nellie Ionides. Police said Wednes day night the collection was found in southeast London, but "there have been no ar rests and inquiries are con tinuing." UNVEILS NEW DESIGN Washington -WPIU Postmas ter General J.
