New Building at
Big Y Holds Its
Grand Opening
The building at the Big Y
Shopping center on Table
Rock rd. which burned Dec.
30 has been rebuilt and held
its grand opening Friday and
Saturday, M. O. Bessonette is
owner of the building.
He said the one-story mod
ern structure has been con
structed for possible future
additions to the east and
north, extending it to Crater
Lake highway.
Bessonette explained that
the new structure is slightly
smaller than the old building
to provide for a major street
to the south which will even
tually be one of the entrances
to the shopping center com
plex. The new structure is of lo
cally made light weight ma
sonry blocks and is fully in
sulated, air conditioned and
has a sprinkler system. The
outside trim is of yellow and
tangerine colored baked
enamel asbestos board.
Three of the four former
businesses now occupy the
structure - Big Y Barber shop,
Big Y Beauty shop, and the
Big Y Laundromat.
j One major change is that
the barber shop and beauty
' shop are on the south end of
the building with the beauty
shop's entrance on the side of
the structure. The Laundro
mat occupies the remainder of
the building, nearly twice its
former size.
Owners of the businesses
are Mrs. Elva Penwell, beauty
i shop; Mr. and Mrs. Raymond
N i e h a u s, Laundromat, and
Frank Boone, barb-- shop.
The Laundromat provides
24-hour coin operated laundry
service, coin operated dry
cleaning service until 0 p.m.
and the service store, for pep
sons leaving laundry for later
pickup, from 7 a.m. to 6 p.m.

the Civil Defense appropria
tion House Bill 2020 with Gov.
Hatfield by telephone.
The bill which is now be
fore the appropriations com
mittee still specifies a three
man state Civil Defense staff
and "some $53,000," Miller
explained to Maj. Gen. J. H.
Hicks, Jackson County Civil
Defense Coordinator.
Miller said Friday that sev
eral Oregon counties are op
posed to the bill In its present
form. Steuart Pittman, under

Law 85-606. If the state does

Hicks has sent a memoran
dum to the county court point
ing out that if federal support
for state Civil Defense is cut
off "no further help can be
expected for the community
shelter program."
"If a nuclear crisis were
to arise, how difficult it
would be to explain that Ore
gon was the only state in the
union that had not partici
pated in the federal commu

wrote. He asked the county
court to place itself on record
with the state senators from
this county.
"Unless the state appropria
