Retiring Druggist Honored DUNSMUIR - F. T. "Beany" King, a Dunsmuir di-uggist for the past 37 years, is being feted this week in celebration of his retire ment. Tlie Dunsmuir Chamber of Com merce is hosting a dinner (or King and his wife, Nellie, who has been a working partner in tlie Moss brae Pharmacy, a landmark on Dunsmuir's main street. This event is Thursday night at the Travelers Hotel, with Gary Gird ler in charge of dinner arrange ments. King is a charter member of Epps Post, American Legion, and Mrs. King has served as auxiliary president for many years. Their Legion friends gave a breakfast for them at the Legion clubroom on Sunday morning, and mem bers of the Lutheran Church host ed a reception at the House of Glass Restaurant in North Duns muir on Sunday afternoon. King, who is 74, became a reg istered pharmacist by passing the slate examinations in 1936. He purchased the Mossbrae Pharma cy in 1926 and ran it with the help of a partner and employes. Prior to that time, he worked in the engineering department of the Southern Pacific Company and spent nearly two years overseas with Company F, 18th Railway Engineers Battalion. A baseball fan and avid duck hunter. King plans to enjoy these pursuits while maintaining his home in Dunsmuir. He has sold his prescription business to the Dunsmuir Pharmacy across the street from his location. "I'm not through by a long shot," King commented on Friday, his last working day. "It will take a month to fill out all the neces sary forms on withholding tax. sales tax, employment tax, nar cotics, and restricted drugs plus notices to wholesalers and a lot of other details. NEW MOTOR HOME A revolutionary new way to live on the move, the Dodge Mo tor Home, is being brought to Klamath Falls for a special showing at Thomas Dodge on Thursday, Friday and Saturday, Sept. 12-14, it was announced by Jack Thomas. It's a rolling home that sleeps eight, and is as self-contained as any home can be. The motor home rolls along at passenger-car speed and is equipped with bathroom, running water, refrigerator, and other appliances. Small City Air Services Require New Model Of DC3 WASHINGTON (UPD Forty years ago the nation was told that what it needed was a good five cent cigar. Today, its being told it needs a f.ood $500,000 airliner. The need is not academic. On its fullfillment depends quite a few million of dollars in taxpay er funds the money the federal government shells out to the local service airlines for serving un profitable communities with planes that couldn't make money anyway.' This is the basic problem: The Civil Aeronautics Board 'CAB i this year is paying 13 lo cal service carriers more than $80 million to bring air service In smaller communities which do not provide sufficient traffic to be profitable. And one of the ways the CAB believes it could cut this vibsidy bill is to have those air lines operate a transport that would be cheaper to buy and cheaper to fly. The so-called "airlines of main street" serve the small-city mar ket with three basic types of equipment, each inherently unsat isfactory for the job. They fly modern prop-jet K27's. postwar twin-engine Convairs and Mar t ns. or the beloved but obsolete IC3. The trouble with tlie F27's, Cm vairs and Martins is that they are too big for many of the cities they serve. It makes little economic tease to operate a 52 passenger Convair or a 40-passen-cer F27 or Martin into a com munity that is lucky to board five passengers daily. I-arce Plane I'nneedrd A recent CAB study of more than 88.000 local service flight de partures showed that the small rmmunities seldom need a plane callable nf carrying more than 24 nMsensers. One statistic was naitling: 76 per cent of the de partures had 18 or fewer passen gers. The trouble with the smaller IX i Lbm! fw.it-Mi''; iVnn'niMfm jj 1M1 RETIREMENT FETED F. T. I Beany) King's retirement from the Dunsmuir druq business has prompted his many associates to honor him with a round of parties. King, 74, has operated the Mossbrae Pharmacy for 37 years, although ha did not become a registered pharmacist until passing the state examinations in I936. SI AC Rate Shows Drop Interim Committee Plans SALEM (Special I The rate of insured unemployment in Oregon for tlie week ending Aug. 29 was the lowest rale for the last week in August since 1959, David H. Cameron, commissioner, Oregon Department of Employment re ported here. There were 9,855 weeks of un employment insurance benefits claimed last week, a late of 2.4 per cent, compared to 3.6 four weeks earlier, down 33 per cent and 2 6 a vear earlier, down 3.3 per cent. In 1959, the rate was 2.0 during the last week of August Highest rate of insured unem ployment 8.1 remained at Hood River where fruit harvesting and DC3 is simply its age. It costs 71 Cents a mile to fly. Maintenance and spare parts for a plane de igned in 1935 are expensive, just as they would be for an "orphan" automobile no longer being manu factured. What the local service airlines would like is a modern plane about the size of a DC3. selling for around a half million dollars. The Association of Local Trans port Airlines (ALTAI even had a ri'ccial committee draw up speci fications for a DC3 replacement. The committee called for a plane that could carry 18 passen gers and baggage plus 1,000 pounds of cargo, operate on a 3,-500-foot runway, fly 500 miles non- top or through three stops with a full payload without refueling, have an approach speed of only 60 miles an hour, cruise at least 300 m p h. and cost only 40 cents mile to fly. Not a single U. S. manufac turer has such an airliner on the drawing board although the mar ket potential is enormous. The French have a smaller airliner w ith many of the charac teristics cited in the ALTA "dream plane" the Nord 262. But it also has a direct opera ting cost of 60 cents a mile which ones not meet a prime requisite of both ALTA ai tie CA: A transport f ipwiv to fly th?t it could kreok wen or mrin a little mosey .wi le-lrf-(ic communities. CA1 CortTgm41V The CAB itlf ' con status swing, NEW YORK iUPD - Air-con ditioned cars are fast becoming a status symbol among traveling salesmen, says George A. Culp. vice president of C. I. T. Serv-M-e Leasing Corporation. He says 2J per cent of the cars his firm leases in fleets to business firms are air-conditioned, compared with 20 per rent only year aan m Buna - processing is between seasons lowest rate 1.2 was at Ontario where a high peak of harvesting and food processing is in prog ress. Other rates in the larger areasi compared to four weeks earlier1 showed: Corvallis at 1.5 down 11.6 per cent; Eugene at 2.2, down 58.4 per cent; Klamath Falls at 3.7 down 56.6 per cent; Pendleton and Milton-Frcewater at 2.8, upi 0.9 per cent; Portland at 2.1, down 14.4 per cent and Salem at 2.1, down 40.6 per cent. Insured unemployment rate for the U.S., during the week ending Aug. 10 was 3.5 per cent; in Ore gon. 2.9 per cent. ducting serious studies of the DC3 replacement problem. But from all these studies the CAB got the sad news: Taking into considera tion all factors under a manufac turer's control such as develop ment costs, fuel consumption, maintenance and overhaul inter vals, the price of parts and depre ciation, there is no present way to build an 18-24 passenger air liner that would sell for less than J.-00.000 and still have direct op erating costs even as good as the DC3 s 71 cents a mile. The lowest figure given the CAB was 93 cents and the highest $1.36. The CAB frankly concedes that it may be necessary for the fed eral government to underwrite part of the development costs for a jet-age DC3, just as its doing for the supersonic transport. A lot of aviation experts would rather we the $750 million federal invest ment in a supersonic airliner go ing instead toward an aircraft for v hich there is an obvious crying need. aw- FINISHES COURSE Joseph Williams (left) of 5144 Avalon graduated Aug. 23 from the Western School of Heavy Equipment Operation at Weiser, Idaho.

It Pension Totals Listed For State PORTLAND More than $35, million in assets were held in I960! by private welfare and pension! plans having their principal of fices in Oregon, according to fig ures released by the U.S. Labor Department's Office of Welfare and Pension Plans. In the same year, over $42 million were con tributed by employers and em ployes, and more than $30 mil linn were paid out in benefits. These figures are based upon re ports filed with the Department of Labor in accordance w ith the Wei fare and Pension Plans Disclosure Act. For the nation as a whole, assets held in 1960 amounted to over $33 billion, while more than $7 billion were paid in benefits. Contributions ran over $8 billion from employers and over $2 bil lon from employes. In addition about $19 billion was held by in surance companies as reserves for insured pension plans. Many of these plans cover work ers or provide benefits to pcrsonsl located outside of Oregon. Passed in lftas. the law was strengthened by amendments last year. Its purpose is to protect the interests of more than 85 mil lion men, women, and children who are depending on these ben efit plans in the event of sickness Home Sale Tips Given Adding paint and removing children can help sell your house. Paint will make it attractive and absent children can't call atten tion to defects. So advises Russ Moi ison, a New England real es tate agent, in a September Read er's Digest article, "My Business Is Selling Dreams. "When you put your house on the market," he writes, "it pays to paint the back steps, fix the leaky faucets, nail down that loose floorboard, but you can't expect to get a return on your major improvements. "It's a good idea for you to be out when the prospect comes through. And please take your animals and children with you I once had a prospect who was allergic to cats, and I lost my sale because the seller's cat rubbed up against her. "last year a homeowner's 4 year-old daughter informed my prospects, 'That's w here the roof leaked'; 'It's always cold up on this floor.' If you are present and passionately show "off the good points of the house, the buyer's reaction usually is, What's wrong with it?" The chances are that after you sell your house and go out to buy another, you won't under stand why houses are so high "They're high," says Morison, "because the American's dream house is always beyond his means. . . . The marvelous thing is that so often his means seem able to stretch. Business By Floyd Kalis. Ore. Sunday, which further ascent was possi ble, was almost a secondary con sideration. At least overnight, the community which deals in dollar signs could feel that it had accomplished something.

Retired Workers Prove Valuable Asset To Firm NEW YORK (UPD The re tired worker represents an in vestment, and one which can pay dividends, John J. (Jack) Smith believes. He believes in the idea strongly enough that he has built a mag azine around it, and put it into the hands of about 150.000 men and women, retired or approach ing retirement age, Ihrough the companies which employed them. A company with even a mini mum pension, he said, ordinari ly has at least $18,000 tied up through its own plan in any retired person. And this does not take Social Security into consideration, although the company has paid nut at least $12,000 for each em ploye reaching retirement age. The total is more than the average company may spend per capita on nlant and eouinmenl fluring the employe's working life time. "When I started the magazine Harvest Years, this was the way mat i approached companies which I thought should be inter ested. "Their retired workers are not merely 'off the payroll." If they have a device through which they can adjust themselves suc cessfully lo retirement and many persons are not ready for it when it comes they can remain as as sets tn the company which em ployed them. "They can help in recruiting new workers, if they believe that they still can be useful to their former employers. They are nat ural salesmen for the company's products and services: in com munily affairs, provided they find how to participate, they can he of benefit to the concern for which they once worked."

SJiP can back up with breakdowns by groupings that it represents 86 per cent ol the mar ket value of all common stocks listed on the New YoiSt Stock Ex change. Heavy trading fur three days almost of the bandwagon type in the last half-hour Thursday, had helped put these indexes at their new levels. It was the kind of trading relished by tlie "bulls, or those who wish to see a rising market: it was heavy trading on the upside. Swanson Given Top Club Honor Martin Swanson of 1431 Siskiyou Street, has qualified as a mem ber of the 1963 Top Club of New lork Life Insurance Company, ac cording to Curtis S. Church, gen eral manager of the company's Eugene general office. Membership in the Top Club is based on 1962-63 sales records and is composed of outstanding agents of New York Life, which has a field force of 7.500 full time agents in 256 offices through out the United States and Can ada. As a member of (he Top Club, Swanson recently attended an edu cational conference in Banff, Can ada. solely lo the interests of retired persons is a tangible evidence. Smith believes, of its interest in the retired worker, and the read er of the magazine cannot help but feel a sense of satisfaction. Smith, a former Marine who once was a magazine salesman, is only 36 years old. His idea for the magazine evolved from many conversations with, persons ap proaching retirement; he found that most of them were appre hensive, fretful at t h e prospect of lack of daily occupation, and at the problems involved in liv ing on a reduced income. 'I believe that most persons in retirement do not want govern ment handouts." he said. "Thev want to make their own way. But lot of Ihcm just don't know how. and many are loo nroud to ask for help. 'In the magazine, we try to avoid a 'do this' or 'don't do this' approach. It is built around the idea nf 'do it yourself.' We try to present every side ol every question which may be raised in the life of a person retirement travel, investment, lood, medical care, all of them.
