Douglas Fairbanks Jr. Named in Morals Trial London -IUPII- Blonde Mari lyn Rice-Davies, 18, testified today at the morals trial of Dr. Stephen Ward that she had intercourse with former American film star Douglas Fairbanks Jr. At an earlier hearing Miss Rice-Davies named Viscount Astor, 55-year-old son of American-born Lady Nancy Astor, as another of her lovers. Some of the steps being taken by the forest products industry in southern Oregon to develop a new image in the eyes of the public were out lined Monday by the execu tive vice president of the Med ford Corporation. In an address to the Med ford Chamber of Commerce Roundtable, the executive, Russell J. Hogue, said that up to now the industry has been too busy with its own progress and development to worry about it, but "we do care what the public thinks of us.' Hogue said he felt that in the past an "uninformed pub lic has developed "hostility toward the lumber industry. Viewed With Distaste The public viewed loggers with "distaste," Hogue said they disliked log trucks, they were annoyed with the "smoke and cinders of the mills," and regarded freight trains carrying lumber as an irritant. But now, he said, the indus try wants to bring the public up to date on some changes that have been effected in re cent years. "It is our job now to inform the public on what we, as an industry, are doing," he said. He pointed out that the for. est products industries in southern Oregon employ about 5,000 people, with an annual area payroll of $25 million. This multiplies to "gross economic impact on the area of $81 million," he said. One-Third of Industry Forest products industries, he said, comprise about one third of the total industrial payroll in southern Oregon. In addition the industry in this area contributes hundreds of thousands of dollars in taxes to the federal and state gov ernments, he said. A development to which the industry points with pride is selective logging, or the "partial cut," he said, where by between 30 and 40 per cent of the timber is harvested at one time in a particular tract. The balance, then, is thinned out in future years. With this method, he said. it is difficult for the public to tell what areas have been logged. After the partial cut has been made, the remaining growth has a better chance to remain healthy and mature properly, the executive said. Requiring Type of Cut The federal govern m e n t now tends to require this type of cut, Hogue said, rather than the old "clear cut" type, in which all usable timber in a tract was harvested at one time. He said the timber area on the Grecnsprings, which has been harvested seven times, is frequently used as an example will Butte Falls The Butte Falls Grange welcomed the Granges of the county for a visitation meet ing with more than 2uu in attendance. The Phoenix Grange open ed the session with a seating drill and presented the trav eling agate to Master Ted Frcdonburg who then would pass it to Lake Creek Grange later in the month. After the local Grange busi ness meeting the Phoenix Grange closed with a retiring drill and officiated at t h c penny march. The amount do- r " ' I-''' rrz" - -.

I've come to the conclusion that my wife does wacky things just to be noticed, not because she en joys her "stunts." At a for mal family party, she'll be the only one wearing toreador pants. Or in the middle of serious conversation with friends she breaks things up by showing she can juggle three saucers. How about some poise? Clarice N. Back in De troit where Frank pursued and married me, he thought I was "like a breath of fresh air" in his life. But now that we're East among his family, he keeps "explaining" me to them, apologizing for my non conformist tastes. They're such a stuffy bunch that may be I try extra hard not to be like them. I must fight to be myself. The Council: There are two types of non-conformity, the constructive and the reckless. The first is creative and re freshing, the other is dead and antisocial. Clarice seems to be a fey creature, so fear ful of being pinned to so ciety's assembly-line pattern that she ignores the fine line between the two levelcs of rebellion . . . Also. Francis' desertion" of her cause, his about-face, comes as a shock. Her "free soul" impulses which charmed and fascinat ed him in Detroit just annoy him now that he views them with the cold eyes of his pre- Clarice days. The kooky orig inality has begun to pall. To him: You can't have it both ways, loving Clarice's un trammeled, wide-eyed ap proach to life, yet ploughing it under. With the same sensi tivity you used in wooing her, you must help her de velop judgment as to when to dip into her trunkful of whimsey. To her: You can still "be yourself" without re sorting to extremes of attention-getting devices. Spare Francis' blushes. When things get sticky, hold on to your wooden smile. But on the way home, alone with Francis, go singin' in the rain and barefoot, too, if you wish. to government agencies of the benefits of the partial cut method. Log truckers, once the scourge of the roads, have "really come of age." he said. The truckers have banded together to develop safety rules and draw up courteous driving practices, he said. He said the truckers' contribution in tax money for road devel opment was "astronomical." Hogue said. "You can't judge the whole group by the occasional individual who mis handles his truck." Used to Be Happy Turning to the matter of air pollution, Hogue said that "People used to be happy to see smoke coming from a mill's stacks because it meant jobs and payrolls." But now, with an expanded population, Hogue said, the public no longer finds the situation tolerable. He admitted that despite voluntary efforts at abate ment, at considerable cost to area forest products indus tries, the burners "unfortu nately" still produce some smoke. Part of the problem is caused, he said, by the neces sity of burning "m i x e d species" of wood, which are difficult to burn smoke-free.

He said representatives of the industry in the area had held two meetings recently with a team of wood was-.e experts from Oregon State university about the air pol lution problem here. Pronounced Problem "They told us that with our air inversion and the burning of mixed species of wood, we have the most pronounced problem they had encountered anywhere," Hogue said. He said the experts had slated they would return to the area in the near future "to give a thorough study io the problem." Hogue said that during the late fall much of the smoKe in southern Oregon is caused by slash burning, a require ment on government land to minimize the possibility of forest fires. !

He said the trend is toward "less smoke." Committee Appointed He said the Southern Ore gon Tree Farm association has appointed a committee, chair ed by Don Stathos, to keep the public informed on tha activities of the forest prod, ucts industries. News media in the area are being utilized to present the latest information available to the public. As an example, ha displayed an advertisement to the group. He said pamphlets on tha industry's activities were be ing distributed to the public and a speaker's bureau was being formed to give talks in. the area. "Finally," he said, "we will depend on 'word of - mouth' comments from people like you to help us develop a new image of our industry in southern Oregon."

It was a routine distribution and Union Carbide announced it In a routine press release but the news highlighted one of the most expen sive fringe benefits American industry offers to jobholders the employee savings plan. Probably not more than 150 corporations in the U.S. have employee savings plans today. Among them, though, are recognized leaders of industry - of the calibre of General Motors, U.S. Steel, Standard Oil of New Jersey, Coca-Cola, duPont - and thus covered by these plans are an estimated 2 million workers. Moreover, the plans are growing at an annual rale of 10 to 20, bringing in hundreds of thousands of additional workers each year. Little it known about these plant. In fact, the tint comprehensive study ever made of them was released only last fall by the National Industrial Conference, Board. It analysed 97 plam in 94 companies, it a basic guide to Ihil "epecial type of employee benefit." The fundamental mechanism of an employee savings plan is simple. (1) A participant voluntarily contributes part of his salary through payroll deductions. The most common contribution is 5 to 6 per cent of his salary although in a fair minority of instances, the contribution ranges lo 8-10 per cent of his pay. (2) Tho company then matches all or pari nt the partici pant's savings with a company contribution. The average is 5(1 cents by the company for each $1 the employee saves but the corpornlion contribution runs as high as $2 for every $1 the employee saves. , CD The company and employee contributions are put Into an employee trust fund to be Invested and later paid out to the employees. In most cases, some or all of the funds are placed In the company's common stock. U S. savings bonds also are a popular medium. A typical investment would be a combination of the corporation's stock and U.S. govern ment securities. More than 85 per cent of employees of companies offer ing these plans take advanlage of them, most are saving at the maximum rule the plan permits, most stay in the plan until their jobs are terminated. The cost of the plans lo the companies Is, in the words of one expert, "shockingly high" The average cost Is $167 a year for rach employee In the plan, excluding adminis trative expenses, but the NICE) found thai in at least one instance, the cost runs to $818 per employee per year. To indicate how this expense compares with other benefits, the U.S. Chamber of Commerce found that in 1(159, pension costs averaged $214 per employee per year and group Insurance costs averaged $114 per year. Why, In view nt the rnst of the plans and the fact that unions have not fought tor the benefit, do Ihe companies offer the programs? The answer is threefold: to recruit and retain stable, loyal, productive work force: to encourage em ployees to become company stockholders; to encourage employees to save systematically lo supplement their basic pension benefits. In the words of the NICB, "It is quite evident that a primary objective of 90 per cent of these plans is to create a large group ol company stockholders among the company work force. The hope Is, of course, that an employee-stockholder will consider himself r partner in )he enterprise and identify himself more closely with the company, its management and its special problems." The objectives apparently ate being attained. A Union Carbide executive says the company's plan is a "morale builder'1 which "tends to make people think twice before they leave us." Other corporation executives sav the plans i make employees much more conscious of the price of their ; company's stock and the importance of company profits. Became of the expense of the plans lo corporations, it's Improbable that this benefit's growth will ever approach that of pension and deferred profit-sharing plans But It's superb "plus" for any employer fortunate enough lo be eligible lo save and Invent llns way.
