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.

coffee.

State college, a lecturer on '
U.S. foreign policy,; United

and International law, will be

13, to discuss the United Na
tions. - The Jackson County Chap
ter of the Oregon United Na
tions association has arranged
four sessions to examine facts
concerning the controversies
and criticisms ot the United
Nations.
Dr. Whitaker wll speak at
the Southern Oregon college
assembly at 11 a.m. He will
attend a luncheon for busi
nessmen and women at the
Jackson House at noon..
A social hour and reception
at the Jactoon House will be
held at 6 p.m. preceding a
dinner and discussion at 6:30
p.m. The discussion wilf be
devoted to the closed circuit
TV program on the United
Nations, scheduled for 4:15
to 5:15 p.m. The evening's
lecture will start at 7:45 p.m.
Anyone wishing informa

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

the

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.
