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.

'Blue Laws' Held
U nconstitutional
By Missouri Court
a
By THOMAS P. 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. Edward Day
will unveil the design on a
special "food for peace-freedom
from hunger" postage
stamp on March 21 at a dinner
for 104 ambassadors from
member nations of the UN
