A 5
SOC Faculty Opens
Room in Honor of
Dr. Arthur Taylor
ASHLAND - The social
science faculty of Southern Ore
gon college has created a social
science room in Myrtle wood
hall in the memory of the late
Dr. Arthur S. Taylor, for many
years chairman of the division.
The new college facility
will be used for holding semi
nars in history, political science,
sociology, geography, and eco-:
nomics. Its select library ot
textbooks in these fields will be
open to use on the premises by
faculty members and students.
A prized feature of the room
is a carved oak table seating
12, a gift of Miss Mary Hanley
of Jacksonville. At least 60 years
old, the table has been in recent
years on a ranch near Mt. Mc
Loughlin, and was a gift to Miss
Hanley from her father. A
search is now on by Dr.
Vaughn D. Bornet, chairman of
the social science division, for
Crescent City
Woman Killed
By United Press International
A 60-year-old woman was
killed in a three-vehicle collision
on Interstate 5, six miles south
of Cottage Grove Tuesday aft
ernoon. The victim was Alice Amelia
Vanderpool of Crescent City,
Calif. Six persons were injured
in the accident involving two
cars and a pickup truck and
were taken to hospitals at Cot
tage Grove and Eugene.
Henry Smith, a Lostine area
rancher, died at a hospital in
Enterprise Monday night from
injuries suffered when a horse
rolled on him Sunday.
EUR IN DEMAND
NEW YORK (UPD-Apparel
manufacturers tool for a sharp
rise this year in sales of cos
sack hats and fur-trimmed sta
dium coats. A new item on the
market is a black Russian
broadtail dinner jacket priced
at $985 to $1,500, plus tax.
12 to 14 oak chairs to match
the table.
Hanging on the walls of the
Taylor room is a large photo
graph of its namesake, made
by Whitland Locke. Ashland
photographer, by a special pro
cess from a negative taken
only three days before Dr.
Taylor's death last summer.
Decorating the room are sev
eral reproductions of old maps
and a series of 20 black and
white watercolors of famous
scholars who have contributed
to Western civilization. Many of
the books in the room were once
in the personal library of Dr.
Taylor; these were purchased
from the estate by his former
colleagues in the social sciences,
and expenses connected with the
room also were paid for by
them in his memory.
Subscriptions to scholarly pub
lications and continuing pur
chase of books await the con
tribution of additional sums
which can be sent to Southern
Oregon college and marked "Ar
thur S. Taylor Social Science
Room Fund."
Engraved Plaque
The engraved brass plaque on
the door was designed and etch
ed by Henry Carr, Ashland
jeweler.
An early use of the room has
been by the Honors program of
SOC and by students having
special interest in the social
sciences. It is anticipated that
a History club, now contem
plated, will keep its records in
the room and hold meetings
there.
"A room like this has been a
goal of the social science facul
ty for some years," Dr. Bornet
stated. "We all wish that Art
Taylor were here to enjoy it
with us. He was at his best in
the informal environment which
such a room makes possible."
Dr. Elmo Stevenson, SOC
president, expressed particular
pleasure upon receipt of the gift
by Miss Hanley and the spirit
shown by the faculty members
in handling the financing of all
improvements to the room.

PltOMT BREAKTHROUGH
"Profits are at a record high now. They have never been
higher in history and the whole year of 1W3 looks very good
. . ." President Kennedy, press conference, Oct. 10.
To the surprise of Kennedy, his chief economic advisers and
the overwhelming majority of American businessmen, this is true.
This year corporation profits, before and after taxes, are
achieving an historic breakthrough to peaks never before touched.
While, of course, there are exceptions from industry to industry
and corporation to corporation, the overall rise in profits has
been steep, has topped just about every prediction made in early
1963. In the second quarter after tax profits smashed all records
at an annual rate of S27 billion and first reports indicate the rate
in the third quarter was even higher.
Most significant, U. S. companies arc not only showing peak
profits but are increasing their after-tax profit per dollar of
sales as well. At last, the profit squeeze is easing, profit margins
are widening. At midyear, manufacturers were earning a net
profit per dollar of sales of S cents, up from 4.2 cents in the first
quarter and the best profit margin since the big boom of the
1950s.
The importance of this favorable trend to all of us as indi
viduals and to our entire economy is immense.
Record profits and widening profit margins are not only
propping our economy now but they also will stimulate It in
the nionlhs ahead. The profits will spur corporations to
increase their investments in new plants and modern equip
ment the sort of spending which is immediately translated
into jobs and paychecks.
They will help balance the federal budget, for the profits will
add to the Treasury's tax take. They will help support the level
of the stock market, for many corporations will distribute part
of their higher earnings in the form of extra dividends. They
will help sustain confidence, for there is nothing like a profit on
the books and the solid promise of more profits to come to give
a businessman confidence.
In themselves, the profit figures are a big-time story. But
why the spurt? In this story within a story, there are three forces.
The first force is the continuing business expansion. U. S.
corporations are selling more, producing more, using up more
of their plant capacity. McGraw-Hill estimates that manufac
turing companies are now operating at 87 per cent of their
capacity against 83 per cent in the first part of 1963 and some
are operating at much higher rates.
It has been a long time coming but the slack in industry is
now disappearing, idle plants are being put back to work.
The second force is the comparative stability in labor
costs and the lid on costs generally. The average wage in
crease this year is running around 7 cents an hour against
over 10 cents an hour in the l'J5l)s. Al the same lime, output
per man per hour (productivity) has been climbing at the
fastest pace since the end of World War II, reflecting the
vast totals industry has put into modern machinery. An un
published government study indicates that between the second
quarter of 1962 and the second quarter of 1963 unit labor costs
including fringe benefits actually declined 0.2 per cent
against annual increases ranging to over Vi per cent during
the 1950s.
This, too. has been a long time coming but industry's efforts
to get out of the profit squeeze by automating, eliminating waste
and resisting maor wage hikes are now paying off.
The third force is the relative stability of prices. Alter a
prolonged period of weakness, industrial prices are firming again.
Prices are not taking off in a new spiral; the index of industrial
prices is only at 100.8 against 100 in the base year of 1957-59.
But the key point is that prices are holding and many are creep
ing up.
Add rising demand, controlled costs and firm prices and
the result is the bright profit picture of 1963.
Now still to come are stimulating tax cuts for individuals
and corporations. These will accelerate business spending on
more cost-controlling plants, will make U. S. industry more
competitive in markets at Home and auroact, will keep profits
rising further.
Republican Wins
In North Dakota
BISMARCK, N.D. (UPD-The
nation's newest congressman.
Republican Mark Andrews, said
today his triumph signifies the
GOP is on the move across the
country.
Andrews. 37, a "gentleman
farmer" with the backing of
Sen. Barry M. Goldwater, de
feated Democrat John Hove, an
English professor, in a special
congressional election Tuesday.
"It feels sweet to win," An
drews said. He shied away
from making a victory state
ment until nearly 90 minutes
after Hove conceded.
Andrews will fill the unex
pired term of the late Hjalmer
Nygaard. a Republican.
Andrews' victory cut off a
Democratic surge ot recent
years in this traditionally Re
publican though Maverick
state. It also upset Democratic
hopes for a congressional seat
they wanted badly.
Hove had run with the bios-
ing of President Kennedy. Atty.
Gen. Robert F. Kennedy and
several Democratic senators
had campaigned in North Da
kota on his behalf.

Shareholders of
Railroad Contacted
Shareholders of the Rock Is
land lines railroad in this area
are being contacted by Charles
J. Christcnsen, district traffic
representative, in support of a
merger of the Rock Island and
Union Pacific.
Christensen said the Rock Is
land management and members
of the board of directors recom
mend stockholder approval of
the merger, and he is working
to help get holders of at least
two-thirds of Rock Island's stock
to vote (or the merger.
A two-thuds majority of the
stock is needed to gain stock
holder approval at a special
meeting in Chicago Nov. 15,
Christensen noted.
Rock Island officials have in
dicated they favor Union Pa
cific as a merger partner, "be
cause it connects with the Rock
Island at a number of locations
and delivers substantial tonnage
to the Rock Island for ship
ment." Christensen said the Chicago
and North Western is opposing
the Rock Island-Union Pacific
merger.

Norih Bend 1.63 and Salem 1 61
inches of rain. Amounts ranged

Eastern States
Remain Parched
By United Press International
Beautiful Indian summer
weather teased the parched
Eastern half of the nation to
day but heavy rain washed the
Pacific Northwest and parts of
lexas.
Florida's EastCoast was alert.
ed to the possibility that
hurricane Ginny may throw
heavy winds and rain against
the state from Daytona Beach
southward.
Light showers skipped across
Illinois and Wisconsin during
tnc night, but did little to alle
viate the drought which has
sparked forest and brush fires
from Maine to Arkansas.
High temperature marks were
broken Tuesday across the Mid
west. Burlington, Iowa, peaked
al a record high of 85 degrees
Springfield, III., also had 85 and
Bismark, N.D., had 81.
More than 1.25 inches of rain
fell al Eureka, Calif. Section of
coastal Oregon had more than
a half inch and southern Texas
had nearly an inch.
But for the weary fire-fighters
in the East, the rain fell in
the wrong places.
Massachusetts had 82 new
fires yesterday. Other states
had fewer, but the situation re
mained critical.
Brush fires threatened 75
homes in West Caldwell. N.J.,
before being brought under con
trol. Nearly 100 fires continued
to burn in New York.
The Arkansas Game and Fish
Commission Tuesday ordered a
ban on hunting in 10 eastern and
northeastern counties hard hit
by the drought.
Everest Climber
Undergoes Treatment
WASHINGTON (UPI) - Wil
liam Unsoeld of Corvallis, Ore.,
who climbed Mt. Everest last
spring, returned here Tuesday
from Nepal to be treated f o r
hepatitis.
Unsoeld is a supervisor with
the Peace Corps in Nepal.
EARLY IN 1936, the late Wendell Willkic, then President
of the Commonwealth and Southern Corporation, at
tended a convention in Atlanta, Georgia, One of the dele
gates told him, ''Remem
ber meeting my wife the
last time you were here?
Well, she's written a
novel, and a publisher
has accepted it. If it sells
enough to earn five thou
sand dollars, we are go
ing to buy a new house."
"Good, for her," en
thused Mr. Willkie. "Al
though I never have done
anything like this before,
I'm going to write a let
ter over my signature to
every stockholder urging
him to buy a copy of
your wife's book."
He was true to his word, and for years thereafter laugh
ingly demanded some of the credit for getting the book off
to a rousing start. The name of the book was "Gone With
the Wind."
Arlcne Francis, backstage before a. "What's My Line" broad,
cast, was talking about a. man who began hi professional career
as a dentist, later became an Internationally renowned brain ur
peon. "How did he ever make ao radical a. change?" wondered
Dorothy Kilgallen.
Explained Arlcne, "His drill slipped."
