4 I 8 B SUNDAY. MAY S, 19S3 MEDFORD MAIL TRIBUNE, MEDFORD, OREGON On the Air By ELEANOR WIESE In the hope of setting an extra inch of publicity in newspaper columns, the tele vision networks diligently dis patch daily thousands of pounds ot publicity releases, investing thousands of dol lars in postage. Most of these tons of print ed words are filed in the us ual place, but occasionally an interesting facet of the tele vision world is described. Take "Of Cast, Calories and the Culinary Craft of 'Gun- smoke'," a TV feature story from CBS. It explains how the cast has a more formid able enemy to fight than the bad guys. Overweight is the villain, resulting from the superb cuisine of the show's Drop man. Many viewers of the show may not be aware that the make-believe in television doesn't apply to food used in scenes. It's all real, and on "Gunsmoke" prop man Clem Widrig takes time and trouble to make sure it s palatable. He believes it makes for a bet ter scene in the show if the actor enjoys his food. The "Gunsmoke" regulars eat more on the job than most television a c t o r a Hrtusc many of their scenes are played in set representing bclmonico'j Restaurant in Dodge City. They develop the plot between mouthfuls of home-cooked stow, apple and pumpkin pie, barbecued ribs. steak, chili and cups of strong coffee. Hero Matt Dillon some times faces three steaks in a Dr.WhifakerWill Speak in Valley . Dr. Urban Whitaker, asso ciate professor of internation al relations, San .

Tickets are available at Lawrence's Jewelers, 21 North Central ave., Medford row in rcfilming a scene. Even Jim Arness's 6 foot 6 inch frame cannot take this without vigorous exercise be tween takes. One complicating factor is vegetarian Dennis ("Chester") Weaver. He asks that what ever he cats on the show come from his favorite health-food store. "That means special pies from organically grown fruit," prop man Widrig says. "They cost $7.50 each. One day the store sent over stuffed green peppers for a restaur ant meal. That was too fancy a dish for the 1870's so I asked them for something that would look like a meat loaf. They made it out of mushrooms, nuts and vege tables, just for Dennis, and it worked fine. Food has to fill a dual role it has to taste good and look right for the camera. To make sure it's served piping hot, portable grills are used even for campfire scenes to be si: re of authentic steam. Beer drawn in Miss Kitty s Longbranch Saloon is real draft brew too. That's because no substitute has been found that looks or photographs like real foam on a glass of beer. As Milburn ("Doc Adams") Stone puts it: "We nave the best tasting props In town."

Highway Taxes Discussed by Governmental Group A motion to oppose Senate Bill 59 which deals with high way use taxes was amended to indicate strong opposition to only that part of the bill which would increase the tax burden on logging trucks in Oregon. It was then passed by Dennis Menace the TONTKNOW If X FEEL W0aORM9T I$1Hr5lrSlWZeO'D IMNUNO 'aUtU.Vt IMC VK1 WC IWWlHti KCNiCZ' unanimous vole by the gov ernmental operations commit tee of the Medford Chamber of Commerce. The committee was given the logging truck operators' viewpoint by Darrell Davis of King Trucking, president of the Southern Oregon Conser vation and Tree'Farm associ. ation: and by Dale Prentice, secretary-treasurer of the as sociation. The two spoke before the group at the regular meeting, called by Chairman Robert D. Heffernan Jr., at the Hotel Medford. ' . Urges Consideration " ' Davis asked that there be no increase in the weight mile tax on logging . trucks and urged the committee to con sider three points in summary. These points were: 1. Belief that all trucks should pay their fair share in the cost o constructing and maintaining the public road system; but that this fair share in the cost of construct ing and maintaining the pub lic road system; but that this fair share be based upon the type of roads used and a realistic application of their ar'ual destructive effects upon the rouds. 2. That SB 59 proposes to raise the tax on loggers and lower the tax on freight trucks, which now pay ap proximately .18 per loaded mile in combined state and federal taxes while highway freight trucks in the same weight category pay approxi mately .11 Vi per loaded mile. Legislation Unrealistic , 3. This legislation is un realistic and, if passed, will put Oregons No, 1 industry at a further economic disadvant age. Copies of the report submit ted to the House Highways committee, listing the typical operation of a log truck with costs and taxes included, were distributed to committee mem bers. . The committee expressed the opinion that as a result of the Illinois Road Tests the Highway Transport Industry had earned a reduction in taxes and should have the recognition provided in SB 59. Because of this opinion the governmental operations com mittee amended the motion to restrict the opposition to only that part of the bill which would increase the "already heavy tax burden" on logging trucks in Oregon. The motion, as amended, was approved with a unani mous. vote. ' . The stand taken by the gov ernmental operations commit tee was endorsed by the Med ford Chamber of Commerce board when presented the fol lowing day to that group by Heffernan. Manager Don McNeil was instructed to forward the re port of the chamber's action to the legislature.
