CHAMBER
OMMENTS
by GEORGE T. CALLISON

KLAMATH COUNTY CHAMBER OF COMMERCE
It was announced at Wednes
day's luncheon meeting of the
board of directors of the cham
ber that the long-range inten
' tion of the directors of the
Winnemucca - to - the Sea
Highway Association is to turn
over to Hie various chambers of
commerce along the route the
job of promoting travel on the
highway now that a paved, all
weather road exists between
the cast and west terminals.
When the association was
formed a little over three years
ago at a meeting in Grants
Pass, it was decided that dur
ing the construction phase of
the highway development, the
governing body should be made
up of members of the county
courts from the seven Califor
nia, Oregon and Nevada coun
ties which tlie highway tra
verses. When representatives of the
Tourist & Convention commit
tees involved do take over the
administration of tlie associa
tion, they will have a pretty
high mark to shoot at if they
hope to match the achievement
of the present board of the as
sociation. For, w hile chambers
; of commerce and governmental
bodies along the route have
been promoting the construe-
tion of a Winnemucca to - the
' Sea Highway for some eight
years, the association, in tlie
'. three years since its creation,
' has seen the completed high
way come into being.
Actually, of course, there are
acinic areas along the route
which still need improvement.
And, in our own county, motor
ists presently travel over Ore
gon rVi between Ashland and
Klamath Falls, and will con-
tinue to do so until the McAllis
ter Springs segment of the
route is completed, probably
late next summer.

posed by the Dunsmuir Water
Company. She will also write to
the Pubiic Utilities Commission
asking that a public hearing on
the matter be held in Duns
muir. John U. Petty, superintendent
of public works, was instructed
to determine the cost of strings
of colored lights for downtown
holiday decoration. These fig
ures and installation problems
w ill be discussed at the Nov. 4
council meeting.
Mayor David Anderson term
ed last year's Christmas dec
orations a disgrace and at the
suggestion of Carl Clement,
Dunsmuir publisher, the council
agreed to make this a city prob
lem in the interests of the com
munity as a whole.
A pay rate of $2 an hour for
special duty was approved for
auxiliary police. The Dunsmuir
High School will hereafter do
nate a portion of gate receipts
to the auxiliary police when a
request is made for police pa
trolling of sports events, the
council learned.
Herbert Miles, Redding, dis
trict engineer for the state divi
sion of highways, stated a pro
posed interchange north of
Dunsmuir was not included in
current construction plans. He
promised the stale would work
with the city in developing ac
cess to the Dunsmuir Airport in
accordance with a master air
port development plan now be
ing devised by the city. The in
terchange will be called Duns
muir Airport Road, Miles said.
Miles also suggested that the
name of Florence Avenue, Duns
muir's main street, be desig
nated South Dunsmuir Avenue,
south of the city limits, to en
able the highway officials to in
stall better directional signs on
the Highway 99 freeway that by
passes the city.
A revised Master Plan of
Dunsmuir, as adopted on the
recommendation of the planning
derisively of the average daily
traffic count in 19fi2 of 70 ve
hicles a day at Blizzard Gap.
But that's 70 times the amount
of traffic at Dcnio, for exam
ple, just two years earlier, and
if traffic were to continue to
expand even seven times each
year, the volume would soon be
tremendous.
Future promotion o the Win
nemucca - to the Sea High
way as a tourist route should
take into account that if offers
motorists coming west from the
eastern or middle western Unit
ed States a fabulous loop tour
taking in much of the spectac
ular scenery and outstanding
attractions of Northern Califor
nia and Southern Oregon.
Driving west on U.S. to, a
motorist could continue through
Winnemucca to Reno, Lake Ta
hoe, Sacramento and the great
interior valley of California to
San Francisco. The return trip
could be made up tlie coast,
through the Redwood Empire,
the beautiful Rogue River Val
1 c y, the spectacular Cascade
Range, the great Klamath Ba
sin and Oregon's eastern des
sert country back to Winnemuc
ca and U.S. -to. Tlie entire cir
cle could, nf course, be made
in the reverse of this routing.
To those of us who live in
the west and have traveled most
or all of this giant loop tour,
it may sound commonplace.
But to the easterner or mid
westerner, this tour would in
deed be tlie sight-seeing trip of
tlie west beyond comparison.
When the day comes that this
tour is well-publicized and well
used, the chambers of com
merce charged with promoting
tourist use of the W innemucca-to-the-Sca
Highway will have
matched t h e achievement of
the present association board
vhich, in three sliort years,
saw the highway come into being.

In Politics
NEW YORK (UPU Robert
Welch, founder of the John
Birch Society, said Thursday
night the society will keep out
of politics during the 1964 presi
dential campaign.
Interviewed on a television
show, Welch was asked if he
backed Sen. Barry Goldwater of
Arizona for the Republican pres
idential nomination.
"Since the society was found
ed and began to have any na
tional importance, we have
been unable to take and do not
take any position in politics
whatsoever," Welch said.
"Consequently," he added,
". . .1 personally have not been
able to express any opinion in
politics. . ."
Welch reiterated charges that
former President Dwight D. Ei
senhower is a traitor and that
the late John Foster Dulles was
a Communist.
The accusations were first
aired in Welch's controversial
"Blue Book." the bible of the
Birch Society, and in a private
letter which has since become
public.

Tax Researcher Claims
Sales Tax No 'Cure-All
PORTLAND (UPD - A sales
tax is no "cure-all" for Ore
gon's money problems, the Leg
islative Interim Tax Committee
was told Saturday.
Former State Rep. George
Annala, manager of Oregon Tax
Research, said a three per cent
sales tax with food exempt, ap
plied under terms of a bill pro
posed by the Senate this year,
still would have left the state
with a $20 million deficit in
meeting a $404 million budget.
The Senate bill would have
applied half the money from a
sales tax to property lax relief,
one fourth to income tax reduc
tion and put the rest in the
general fund.
Annala said (he calculations
on I he $20 million deficit were
based on an estimate of $76 mil
lion per year from the sales tax.
He also said an examination

of the history of states in which
the sales tax was devoted to a

which there was a limitation on
property taxes, the property lax

Nursing Home Will
LAKEVIEW Hie announce
ment was made last week by
Mr. and Mrs. Wilbur Mautz
that they cannot comply with
plans outlined in a letter from
the state fire marshal and will
have to close the Mautz Nurs
ing Home. They have operat
ed the home for the past 15
years and have invested approx
imately $50,000 in bringing it up
to standards ordered by state
agencies.
Negotiations to keep the home
open were started after April,
19H2, when the slate marshal's
office informed the owners that
to qualify for their board of
health license, they would have
to install a sprinkling system.
The deadline on this action
was October and was later ex
tended to February, 1963, but
Mr. and Mrs. Mautz stated the
installation would be too expen
sive for their operation. In July
they received an order from the
stale board of health to close
immediately.
