RECENTLY the subject of community service work en gaged In by all too few, so Jar as this community Is concerned, was being discussed with a man who has done somewhat more than his share-and is wearied of it. "I "do not regret the time and effort I have put in," he said, '"but I have Just about decided that so far as my own personal fortunes are concerned it is not only time but sometimes money wasted." The reasons for his conclusion were Interesting. They can best be put in his own words: "Some little lime ago we had two school houses in Roseburg Ihut were badly lighted, old fire traps. A bond Issue was put up for a vote. I went out and worked many days, and long hours, calling upon people, ex plaining the matter and selling them on the urgency of the pro- nosed construction. "Then came the day of voting, i As I went up the walk toward j the doors of the poling place 1 saw two or throe small groups i of men talking. The discussion! apparently was heated. As I passed I hoard one man say, em-, phasizing his words with a shake of his list: 'yean, mis is j" another thing they arc ramming j down the throats of us taxpay-1 crs.' " i "That set me to thinking. I must be one ot the ones that fel low meant. I did not know any ot the men 1 saw there al the pulls. 1 had never, to my know ledge, seen them before. They were some of the people for whom 1 thought 1 was rendering a service when 1 worked lor lhe new buildings, and lliey wen calling it ramming it down their throats." a The loregoing discussion was most disturbing. What, we thought, It our friend Is rigid V We Ixiost for civic Improvements in the news ami editorial col umn of this newspaper. We want to see the city and the school district bettered and addi tions and Improvements made as needed and as we may reason ably afford them. To our way of looking at it. that reflects the normal American spirit of pro gress. If we do not keep up, we drop behind. If we do not pro gress, we sink backward. Most people, we are certain, feel 1he same way about it. There are always the grouches and the kickers. Those same people will probably find a lot of fault even with Heaven, if they ever gel there. What this community needs is more workers like the man quot ed abuve (and who really ditl not mean what he said about giv ing up I. We need more energy, more ambition and more ihtsoii ii 1 Initiative every community needs that. Why? Well, simply because we are Americans. Our forefath ers founded this nation because they thought (hey could Improve their conditions. Ours Is u herit age ol progress and Improve ment. We cannot, we must not, slop, lor to do so will be to stag nate and die. To quote a trite but appropriate axiom: . "Decay begins with self-satis faction." Editorials on News (Continued from ;igo 1.)

Martha surveys the wreckage of her friendship with Paul, realizes the torture he has undergone. But she is determined to stop seeing him, to make him understand their friendship is ended. SOS TO BILL MARSHALL CHAPTER VTII At S o'clock that day, Martha Marshall was still enmeshed In the coils of her inner problem. How could she indicate to Paul Elliott, without hurting mm, anu vet without letting him know the real reason, that she prefer red not to go out with him any more? There was a pile of unfinished reports on her desk. There were letters she should have answer ed; and the article for the en gineering periodical which the Chief had asked her .to type. Never before had she been so slow, so inefficient. She opened the desk drawer wearily. She'd catch up tomor row. She took her compact out of her handbag. Her eyes In the tiny mirror startled her. So wide and dark, so brilliant with mis ery, as if she had a fever! Paul opened the door to his office, and Martha ' seized her powder puff hastily. "Ready to leave, Martha?" he called. "Wait a minute, I'll be right with you." She steeled herself. She looked up at him. "Don't bother about me, Paul," she managed to say. "I I don't feel awfully well. 1 want to go right home and get in bed." He was all concern, immcdi- ately. She wanted to kick her- self. She should have told him some story of being expected somewhere . . . catching a store before it closed ... anything. "I'm all right," she repeated tonelessly. "Just a headache." The phone in his office rang. "There's your phone." She got up and slipped out while he was still talking. ... The next morning she avoided his eyes, was thankful when he had to go down to the production department to straighten out a tangle. It might take all day. Production was a hectic mess, most of the time. But at quitting time, he was back in the office. "Feel like some chow mcin?" "No. I I'm going home and cook Butch some hamburger.'l'-Ve got a lot to do. I'm awfully tired." T-Iie fnco fell "T W.1S looking for.va..d to it.

"No, Paul, Th-thanks, anvway." "But why not?" ' "No!" This time, her voice was sham. Paul stared at her, 'us thick dark eyebrows a straigU linp over his brown eyes. She walked home. A long walk, with her head high and I chin up. She hoped there'd be a ! letter from Bill waiting in tin ! box. But there wasn t. ! she fried the meat for ' even while she walked While Butch, behind 1 - ., u..)rise,i Pvps his s(l '""' BU,pr,beu y ' "Mys Kd t,H. cll..inina wo. ,,, ., .,. ho,. , ,;. hall when she and Butch re- turned.

"I. gotta pay at the drugstore for preset ip- tions. "Oh, that's all right. I'm sorry he's sick." Martha said, disliking lo tell her now, hut knowing it had to be lone, "I've -been meaning to tell you, about the cleaning. 'There isn't as much lo do as there used to be, and "Oh. yes there is!" cut in the oltl woman- argumentativcly.

Husband's friend or no husband's friend, it don't do when a man pays too much attention to a pretty woman all by herself." "I think we'd better get back to discussing the cleaning!" "Yes'm," Mrs. Kelly said, de flated. "I'd like you to come once a day, Just to let the dog out, and feed him." "I'd have to charge by the hcur." Long after Mrs. Kelly had gone, Martha stood there in the foyer, motionless. Everybody, everybody had the same idea! How stupid she had been! liow blind! But as long as it wasn't true as long as she wouldn't go out alone with Paul againit didn't matter. Bill was the only one who counted. He had never dreamed of such a thing. That Bill had trusted her, that he'd trusted Paul. He knew them both more intimately and with more under standing than anyone else on earth. She seemed to hear again his voice as he raid at the sta tion, "Take .care of her, Paul." Suddenly she wanted to hear hiF voice again. She went to the phone. "Operator, I'd liko to speak to Mr. William Marshall et Ciimp McAllister, please. No, no one else will do." seemed to take an awfully time to get him. Perhaps Ion, they had to look all over the ramp. She wondered what, the men did, evenings. Bill had made a light reference to a poker game In one of his letters. At long last, his voice came, w "Bill!" she cried. "Oh, Bill, is it really you?" "Martha? Darling, what's the matter, why did you call, is any thing wrong?" How stupid! to you "I'm dear his voice was! I just wanted to No, talk How are you?" fine, sweet.- How are you?" "Why didn't you call me when I asked you to?" Almost, she could see the sheepish grin as he said, "Tel you the truth, I just didn't hava the money." "You could have reversed the charges, nut." "You've got loo many bills to pay now." "Oh, darling,' it's so good to hoar you! Tell me, do you likci being in the army?" " "It isn't bad. My feet hurt all the time. The chow's good. Tell me about you. Missing me?" "Terribly. . Always. Oh, dar ling . . ." She mustn't cry. "I miss you, too. How's Paul?" "F-fine." Is he doing all rigid looking ; after you?" j She said, carefully, "Suzanne every night, the first two week 1 1 " ' '"o you, remember? But I ian(l 'Jaul were with me almost I I'm not seeing much of either of them, any more. You know how it is, everybody has their own lives. Anyway, Butch and I are doing swell." She was talking very rapidly. I even took the cleaning off Mrs. Kelly's hands. She just comes in lo iced Butch and le:y him out." Then she raced on.' "Bill, I'd like to drive up to camp this weekend. Is it all right? Are you allowed visitors yet? "Sure, we're allowed visitors. ' Every Sunday the camp's over run with them. Bui it's an aw fully long drive.
