THREE TO GO The first of the four towers that
the top of the Mt. Ashland Ski Lodge was put in
large crane yesterday morning. The 30-ton crane,
from Eugene for the project, hoisted the 22-ton
place. Then workmen secured the tower onto the
structure. This is how the scene appeared as the
securing work was in progress. The cameraman is looking
up at the ski lodge from a point part way down the road
to the lower terminal of the main T-bar lift. Many of the
views which will greet the eye of skiiers at Mt. Ashland will,
like this one, be framed by trees, as only a few selective
removals of trees have been made.

Voters Approve
GP Annexation
GRANTS PASS-Residents of
a 156-acre area north of the
present city limits went to the
polls Friday and voted four to
one for annexation to the city of
Grants Pass.
This will mark the largest
land area to be annexed to the
city in recent years but its popu
lation, approximately 200, is
relatively low. Lack of city wa
ter and sewer system is said to
have held back development,
which is now expected to go
ahead.
The annexation includes land
on both sides of the North Sixth
and Seventh Streets one-way
traffic couplet leading to Inter
state 5 freeway. II is bounded
by Midland Ave. on the south,
the freeway on the north, Cave
man Industrial Park on the
west and Ninth Street on the
east.
The annexation will become
effective 30 days after the next
Grants Pass city council meet
ing Nov. 20, when it will be
officially proclaimed.

Regional Roundup
by Cleva Twitched
Mail Tribune Regional Editor
Genevieve Briggs, our roving Wilderville correspondent, and
a chain smoker until a few days ago, attended one of the recent
Seventh-Day Adventist Church sponsored stop smoking clinics,
the one held at Grants Pass. She is now going through her
first week without a cigarette in 37 years.
Here's her report on how she became involved in this predica
ment: "The recent stop smoking clinic held at the fairgrounds com
munity center was one of the nicest things to happen to Grants
Pass in a long time. The clinic, under the direction of the Rev.
Wilton P. Lockwood and Charles Plumb, M.D., formerly of
Chico, California, and with 40 years of medical practice, was
outstanding in presenting scientific facts about cigarettes and
cancer. In one of the factual films shown was the presence of
a very real lung complete with its white octopus-like cancer
for all to see.
"If you believe that the cigarette smoking habit is easily
broken, you had better take another guess. Was it Sir Winston
Churchill who said willpower is the quality that every man or
woman possesses until the day he or she decides to give up
smoking? Doctor Plumb pointed out the singularity in the mole
cules of morphine and nicotine.
" 'Stop, Think and Choose to Quit' was the topic of the lec
ture, and it does make one stop and think. As a chain smoker
I should know how hard it is to quit. Like the 30 other smokers
present I am a chain smoker and smoke two packs of cigarettes
p. day under ordinary circumstances, and under stress usually
more. One point made in this program was that you were not
made to feel like a criminal it you continued to smoke. You
chose to attend the meetings. You chose to quit smoking, for
after all it was your habit and no one else could do anything
about it but you.
"Some of the advice offered included this: during the time
you are trying to stop smoking, stay away from coffee, tea,
alcohol and spices. All smokers know just how a cigarette and
a cup of coffee go together like ham and eggs.
"One little book passed out was "Smoke Signals," in which
many questions were answered about why the true facts con
cerning the connection between lung cancer and cigarettes are
being withheld. One such reason, according to the booklet, was
that 17,000 per day is a lot of taxes to turn down.
"The films shown at the clinic are free to anyone, and PTA
groups have priority on them. Further information may be ob
tained by contacting the Oregon Conference SDA, 605 SE 39th
Ave., Portland 14, Oregon."
Our solution to the problem mentioned in the next to the last
paragraph above is simple. Repeal cigarette taxes, and tax life
savers and chewing gum instead. We used large quantities of
them for about a month one time in San Francisco during early
1959 when we grappled with the habit, after six years of it, sur
vived the withdrawal symptoms and won.
But if you conclude that we are opposed to cigarette smok
ing, guess again. We still enjoy the tobacco aroma. We've gotten
along without a smoke for almost five years now, however, and
haven't come across any good ro:,0r, to do otherwise.

Regional News
ing last October, and no major
layoffs occurred during tho
month.
A shift of workers from saw
mill to plywood employment
over the last ten years, said
Slifflcr, has significantly con
tributed to the apparent stabil
ization of local employment.
Since 1953, employment in the
local plywood industry has
climbed from 340 workers to
1,125 workers, he said. Over
the same period local sawmill
workors decreased from about
1,200 down to 550.
"Ten years ago smaller saw
mills were often forced to shut
down during adverse weather or
due to poor market conditions,
and employment fluctuated from
season to season," said Stiffler.
"Now the bulk of our employ
ment is with larger employers
who do not shut down as readily.
Therefore, local employment
has become more stable. This,
of course, affects employment
with the area's supportive in
dustries also."
Stiffler said unemployment
claims during the week ending
October 24 represented 5.9 per
cent of Josephine County's em
ployment, compared with 8.7
per cent for the corresponding
period last year. Nearly half the
present claims load, he said, is
attributable to claimants from
out of state.
