63rd Annual Portland Rose Festival
Official Souvenir Program
June 4-13,1971
Price $1
Less than three inches wide, it takes up very little room on a nightstand, on a counter top, on a wall.
A Trimline" phone makes life just a little easier. Pick it up and the dial comes to you, with an instant recall button right under it. Not a big thing, to be sure.
But it does mean you can make call after call without hanging up. Just a press of the recall button and you’re disconnected from the last call and ready to dial again.
There are a couple of other good things about a Trimline phone—a lighted dial, a longer cord. Just little things. But very nice.
A Trimline phone can say a little something about you. About your taste. Your sense of style.
Start with a small home improvement.
Call our business office now or ask any telephone man for your Trimline phone.

As each Rose Festival comes and goes, year by year, I personally look forward to them more and more. The coming of the Festival gives us a season to pause for enjoyment, to take time to appreciate our beautiful city
and each other. As life becomes more hurried, as problems become more puzzling, this pause for enjoyment becomes more and more welcome. We are fortunate in our beautiful city. We still have green grass and tall trees and smiling citizens. We are still changeable and manageable. We can still preserve the worthwhile and we are still able to move forward. For that, let t us be thankful at this Rose Festival time and let us resolve to carry forward our ideas and ideals to the Festivals in the years ahead.
In all its 63-year history, this Rose Festival may be the most significant of any. This year the Festival has put itself into harmony with our changing times, yet we have managed to do this without detracting from the traditional
have given the Festival its greatness.
This year there are entertainment shows for every taste. There are events which are modern and fast-paced, such as the sports car races and the AAU track meet. There are events of tradition, such as the queen's coronation.
Above all, we want a Festival that is fun. There is a time to be grim and purposeful, but there is also a time to be carefree. This is a carefree time. We need to be lighthearted. It will refresh us and we can return, with renewed strength, to the consideration of the more serious matters of our world today.
Webb Harrington President,
Portland Rose Festival Assn.

* Merrykhana Parade,
Saturday, June 5, 8 p.m., downtown
First of the three great RoseFest parades, the Merrykhana starts this year from a new formation area in the northwest Park Blocks, moving past Northwest Broadway and Flanders down Broadway and into the heart of downtown Portland.
This parade was one of the early Rose Festival features, was dropped for many years, then revived again in 1958. It is dedicated to the spirit of fun.
A Miss Raindrop and her court are chosen to reign over the parade and there is a King of Fun, whose identity is kept secret until parade day. The King generally rides in some outlandish vehicle, such as a giant scoop shovel.
Prizes are awarded to bands, drill teams, drum and bugle corps and floats. Originality and spirit are important. As dusk descends, the entire line of march becomes illuminated. It is a noisy, funny procession, a relaxing event for participants and spectators alike.
Country - Western
Spectacular Starring
Minnie Pearl with Special Guest Star Ferlin Husky and Mary Taylor, Saturday,
June 5, 8 p.m.,
Memorial Coliseum
Minnie Pearl
The Rose Festival breaks new ground in its entertainment policy this year, scheduling three different entertainment shows for different tastes.
First of the three is this Country-Western Spectacular.
This is a show with
emphasis on the light-hearted. Minnie Pearl (real name Ophelia Cannon) plays a gentle spoof on the simple warm country girl, a characterization she made famous on Grand Ol' Opry.
Ferlin Husky is another landmark talent in country-western, star in eight movies, numerous TV appearances on Hee Haw, Ed Sullivan, Tonight Show and others. Ferlin also adds the comic touch with his Simon Crum, epitome of the country bumpkin.
Singer Mary Taylor came from Kansas and migrated to Nashville via Los Angeles. She has recorded for Capitol and is currently under contract to Dot.

83rd Annual Portland Rose Show, Thursday and Friday,
June 10 and 11, Masonic Temple
Oldest event in the entire RoseFest is the Portland Rose Society's show, dating back to 1889 without missing a single year. The Queen cuts the ribbon opening the show at 12:45 p.m. Thursday and the show continues to 9 p.m. both days.
This is the oldest and largest show of its kind in the United States and each year grows even larger. More than 20,000 blooms are expected this year, some coming from as far away as Japan.
Any amateur gardener may enter his blooms and there is a special novice section for those who have never won a ribbon before. There is also a junior section for youngsters 18 and under and one year the sweepstakes award was taken by a junior exhibitor.
U.S. & Canadian Navy, West Side Seawall Near Morrison Bridge
Portland's unique location on a deep channel river makes possible one of the Festival's most elegant traditions—the visitation of the fleets.
This year three seagoing services are represented, the U.S. Navy, U.S. Coast Guard and Canadian Navy. Arrival of the vessels Wednesday, June 9, and Thursday, June 10, is a spec-tacular event. The big ships move gracefully through the city's open bridge draws while thousands watch from shoreside.
U. S. Navy vessels are under the flag of Vice Admiral Raymond E. Peet, commander First Fleet. Cmdr. C. T. Shuckburg is commodore of the Canadian flotilla.
Most ships schedule visiting hours and the streets are dotted with the blue and white of sailors on shore leave. For many of them it is the first leave after months of sea duty.

Junior Rose Festival Parade
Friday, June 11, 1:30 p.m. Hollywood District, starting at N.E. 52nd and Sandy
More than 10,000 costumed youngsters take to the streets, riding bikes, carrying or leading pets, riding in home made floats, riding unicycles, twirling batons and tootling flutes.
The Junior Queen and her Princesses ride in midget majesty and every district of the city is represented by floats and marchers. Many bands and drill teams come from faraway places to take part.
The Junior Parade had its beginnings in 1918 when six children held a parade on 44th between Hancock and Tillamook. The children elected a queen and her procession consisted of a tiny express wagon followed by two bikes and a tricycle.
Mothers encouraged the children to continue and the parade grew. The Rose City Herald published the first newspaper account in 1922. By 1923 the Queen selection became organized, by 1935 the parade had gained national recognition and it became an official Rose Festival event beginning in 1936.
BREAD' IN CONCERT
- The Sounds of Young Show, Thursday, June 10,
8 p.m., Memorial Coliseum
The Rose Festival breaks new ground again with the Sounds of Young Show, a salute to youth featuring Bread, fast-rising soft rock group high in the national hit lists.
The youth-oriented show was developed by the Festival as another move to fit the changing times, to present something of interest to every taste. It is being produced by EJD Enter-** , prises.
Bread is one of the newest and most promising young k groups with three current albums on Elektra. Three of their
tunes have run high on local and national lists, "It Don't Mat-«* " ter To Me," "Let Your Love Go" and "If."

AAU Track and Field Meet, Saturday, June 12,
Madison High School, 2:30 p.m.
One of the smash success stories of the 1970 Rose Festival was the AAU Track and Field meet and this year shows every sign of being bigger and better.
Chi Cheng, Top Woman Athlete of the World for 1970, set two records here and has declared publicly she will be back to break them.
Again this year, the meet will be nationally televised. The sell-out crowd of 1970 has inspired enlargement of seating this year. World champions and Olympic record holders are in the field and for months athletes have been calling and telegraphing across the Atlantic, asking to be included.

The King Family Show,
Saturday, June 12, 8 p.m.. Memorial Coliseum
The celebrated show business family takes time out from TV appearances to bring this one-night all-family entertainment show to Portland. This season the family has gained new accolades for a series of television specials built around picturesque and romantic cities and places in America.
This show business family tradition dates back to the King Sisters singers, an act which featured in threes and fours all six of the sisters.
One of them, Luise, married the quartet's boss of the
swing band days, Alvino Rey, and in 1953 the sisters made a comeback with Rey's orchestra. (They had taken a few years out to bear and rear children.)
By 1954 the act had grown to the King Sisters and their Daughters and now they are so numerous they could be booked in bunches! More than 20 of the family will perform here—including daughters, sons, husbands, wives and grandchildren.
Rose Cup Sports Car Races, Saturday and Sunday, June 12 and 13, West Delta Park, 11 a.m. - 5 p.m.
This year's Rose Cup Races will be the most exciting ever. The city, using funds loaned by the Rose Festival, has just opened its completely redesigned road raceway, with more turns, smoother surface for higher speeds, and much-improved spectator convenience.
Sports Car Races will have their own special program to list last minute entries and events. As always, top drivers of the region and nation will compete for National Championship Points under sanction of the Sports Car Club of America.
Competing will be Formula Cars, production models, sedans, and sport racers. Auto races have been important events in Rose Festivals dating back to 1908. The Rose Cup races have been an official event under Rose Festival management since 1966.

The Mystic Realm of
ROSARIA
From A Trolley - Car Parade to an
International Spectacular
The Portland Rose Festival, world's largest celebration dedicated to the rose, grew out of the annual rose show sponsored by the Portland Rose Society, oldest and largest rose society in the United States. The first Portland Rose Festival was staged in 1907. Previously, in 1904, the Portland Rose Society Fiesta was presented, highlighted by a parade and other entertainment features to augment the Rose Show, which had been held annually since 1889.
In 1905 and 1906 the Fiesta was repeated. The following year the Rose Festival came into being, and has been held every year since then with the exception of 1918 and 1926. The name was taken from a speech by Mayor Harry Lane of Portland, who suggested at the Lewis and Clark Exposition in Portland in 1905 that the city needed a festival of roses.
The first Rose Festival was a pageant staged by George L. Hutchin, highlighted by 20 illuminated floats on flatcars carried over Portland's electric trolley system. Since then, the parade has developed in grandeur and beauty, with no floats now permitted unless they are completely covered with natural flowers. Carrie Lee (Chamberlain) Wood ruled as the first "Queen Flora.'' At last report, she was still living in southern California.
In 1908, the Portland Rose Festival Association, a non-profit civic enterprise devoted to staging and financing the annual Rose Festival, was created in cooperation with the Portland Rose Society. Also in 1908, the Festival was presided over by a King—Rex Oregon us—whose identity was kept secret until the Queen's Ball, when his huge beard was removed. In 1914 this type of ruler was overthrown and a Festival Queen again ruled the realm of Rosaria. It was in 1932 that the present plan for choosing the Queen and her princesses from Portland's high schools was adopted.

Royal Rosarians Knighting Ceremony,
Friday, June 11, 10 a.m.,
Washington Park Garden Theater
The Royal Rosarians, white-suited official greeters of the City of Portland, were organized in 1912 to promote the best interests of the city and particularly the Rose Festival.
Membership is invitational. Rosarians may not commercialize the name of their organization. All service they render must be without pay. A Rosarian may not say "no" to a request if he is able to say "yes."
Royal Rosarians serve the city year-round as greeters and as ambassadors of good will to other communities. During the Rose Festival, they assist the Festival organization as parade marshals, escorts to the Royal Court and in many other ways.
During the Festival, the Rosarians also schedule events of their own. Foremost of these is the knighting ceremony in verdant Washington Park, where the Queen of Rosaria bestows honorary knighthood on visiting notables and local persons of distinction. The public is cordially invited.
Royal Rosarians are headed by a Prime Minister who serves one year. This year's Prime Minister is Richard A. Atiyeh.

Rose Festival Drag Races, Sunday, June 6, West Delta Park
First event on the city's vastly rebuilt drag strip and road racing facility at West Delta Park is the drag racing program.
These will be the third annual official RoseFest drag races, produced by the Oregon Racing Federation. Double A fuel dragsters, wheelstanding cars, funny cars, handicap races, latest electronic timing equipment, add up to hours of moment-to-moment suspense and excitement.
The previous drag strip was 1/8 mile in length. Now the dragsters have a full quarter-mile to let the tires smoke. Complete redesign of the racing plant was made possible by a loan from the Rose Festival to the city.
