CONFUSION
.EDITORIAL.
By Charles V. Stanton
IliVI MESS, president of the Roseburg chamber of commerce,
produced n classic statement at the recent farm labor con
ference called by Governor Snell at Salem, where representa
tives from all sections of the state met to discuss methods of
securing seasonal farm labor.
dealing with phases of agriculture, were represented, and after
these agency delegates had submitted various theories and con
flicting ideas, Mess was called upon to speak and, being some
what irritated by the intervention of the federal bureaus, an
nounced: "Let Washington supply the confusion; we'll grow
the food.'
The Roseburg chamber of commerce president is showing a
lot of good common sense in his approach to the agricultural
situation. Given the cooperation of the farmer and the city
resident, he will go a long way in helping to meet labor and
marketing problems.

definite to serve as a guide for the furmer.
We have a suggestion to make to the army. We do not

excuse for another agency, but

Scouting Gain Is
Cited in Planned
Drive for Funds
Next Wednesday morning will
bring the launching of the 1943
Boy Scout campaign for lunds in
Roreburg, according to Dick Coen,
campaign chairman for this
year. "As a part of the Walla
met area Boy Scout council the
people of Roseburg will be called
upon to assume their share of
the costs of maintaining scout
ing in this area," said Coen. Rose
burg is one of the largest dis
tricts of the council, which con
sists of Douglas, Lane, Benton,
Lincoln, Coos and Curry counties.
The headquarters ot the council
is located in Eugene, but every
district is served regularly by the
employed scout executive and his
assistant.
Scouting in the Douglas district
has shown a remarkable gain in
the past six months, according to
local scout officials. The num
ber of troops and packs has in
creased from six lo ten and two
more are now in the process of
organization.
The funds needed for scouting
pay for personal services, train
ing and help made available to
the volunteer leaders of scouting.
In this area council last year
2,529 boys and men belonged to
the movement and through the
means of the local council, the
program of the Boy Scouts of
America was made available to
them, The campaign planned
for Roseburg will in large part
be a one-clay intensive drive with
over fifty men helping to do the
fob. The executive committee of
the campaign is now at work to
make certain that the general
campaign has a head start for
next Wednesday.

The word vision as used In w)
tne cripiuics, may ue inter
preted to mean the ability to
see and appreciate the values
which are unseen by the physi
cal eyes, where that ability is
lacking, the individual and
the nation perish. This kind
of vision enables us to see our
selves In the true light. It Is
strange, Indeed, that one lives
so close to himself that he
cannot see his own faults and
sins, which are so obvious to
others. The ability to see our
selves comes from God. This
vision enables one to discern
between right and wrong. One
of the tragedies of our day is
that so many do not have this
vision. Their conscience Is dull
and moral issues are no longer
clear. There is much blind op-
timism and dark pessimism
abroad in the world. This
spiritual vision is essential if
we are to see the needs of the
world as it ought to be and as I
it can become under the lead
ership of God's spirit and
through consecrated lives. I
"Where there is no vision the j
people perish. We are the light
of the world." Let your light
so shine before men that they
may see and glorify your Fath
er which is in heaven." Amen.
Sparks of Oakland, Fred Goff,
Bill Harris and Jim Mess. And
we'd be glad to know j-our re
action to the program also sug
gestions as to topics for discus
sion are very welcome. Anyway,

entertainment.
