We used tho astonishing ae- By Charles V. Stanton THE practice of "locking the barn door after the horse is stolen" is widely disparaged but too generally observed. In the case of Roseburg's fire department, the old saw is particu larly applicable. The city council has been trying for nearly three years to augment the equipment of its fire department. Disagreement between councilmen, insisting upon the purchase of a new fire engine, and A. J. Young, then serving as mayor, who was endeavoring to secure civilian defense mutual aid pumpers, caused the mayor to resign his office. But despite applications, communications and all other efforts to obtain priorities, or assignment of defense equipment to meet the city's need for increased fire protection, it was found im possible to stir the controlling federal agencies into favorable action. On the date of June 24 the city suffered the most disas trous business dislrict fire in its history. Almost immediately a priority came through for the purchase of the fire engine con tracted more than n year ago and for which money had been provided in two city budgets. This was followed by the offer of assignment of two civilian defense fire fighting units, equip ment which the city had been trying to get for two years and which, if approved earlier, would have prevented the upset in city administration. Mad the equipment now forthcoming been available on June 24, the fire loss probably could have been greatly reduced and the city s trade facilities would not have been so radically disturbed. . It is regrettable that it took a major catastrophe to secure action on the city's applications for needed fire apparatus. But it is pleasant to know that there will soon be more adequate protection. Industrial plants springing up around the city increase fire hazards and make increasingly important the acquisition of more facilities for fighting fire. Any fire in these limes is a far great er loss than in normal periods, for all facilities are essential to production for war or civilian purposes or for necessary services. OUT OUR WAY 8 J, R.

But he'll probably want still more. The. war food administration said today that increased egg pro duction is expected "to provide for the needs of our armed forces and our allies and still leave more than the usual supply for civilian use." WFA said that this should give civilians about 338 eggs a piece during the 12-month period which started July 1 about 18 eggs more than the average during the calendar year 1942. , The prediction was contained in a report announcing egg al locations for all civilian and war time uses during (he next 12 months bul it added that civil ian demand lias grown so much that even "the increased supply of eggs may not be adequate."

The pit Was discovered and ex plored by the county several years ago, and a tract of eight acres was purchased. More than 100,000' cubic yards of gravel, j Ideal for road surfacing, is known j to be obtainable from the site, County Roadmaster Floyd Frear reports. It Is probable, he states, that the quantity will be more than double the amount already disclosed by test holes. It is believed that the gravel deposit was formed by the Cala poola centuries ago at a time when It apparently passed through Oakland: The creek has cut a gorge more than 100 feet deep around the deposit, leaving the gravel of easy access during the' winter season. It is neces sary, Frear stales, to clear away only a shallow lop coating of soil to reach the clean gravel, which ranges in size from pea gravel to boulders a foot or more in diameter. The rock Is of a quality which makes the finest type of road surface, he reports. The crusher is to be set up at the pit immediately and will be used in surfacing the Calapooia road to make the route available for log hauling during the wet season. Whether tho surfacing is to bo done by the county or by private contractor will be deter mined by the action of the fed eral government, which has alot tcd access road money to the route. County Judge D. N. Bu sonbark states. In tho event tho improvement is made on private contract, the county plans to make tho rock crusher available to the contractor if needed to speed tho road surfacing. Keedof Increased Forest Fire Vigil By Public Stressed "We're figuring on giving Ju piter Pluvius a 720-hour honor badge for the thirty days extra he worked for Keep Oregon Green this summer," said Jack Farris, Douglas county chairman ot the publicly sponsored forest fire prevention organization o Keep Oregon Green in comment ing on the very favorable fire weather for Oregon this summer. "A great many Oregonians now imagine their job has been pretty well done for them," the KOG county chairman observed, "just because the rains have been very liberally and unusually spread out through all of June and July. The fact is that the public's job on fire prevention the balance of the summer will be more difficult than ever. The extra heavy rainfall has creat ed lush grass and fern growth throughout the state, and when the hot winds of late July and August dry them up, the fuel for fire will be heavy and plentiful. The next 70 days will be crit ical ones on the forest fire front, State Forester Nelson Rogers pointed out in a statement call ing upon the people of the state to keep man-caused fires at the tokeep man-caused fires at the very minimum the rest of the summer. The very splendid of fers of support to Keep Oregon Green from every county in Ore gon Indicate the desire and Inten tion of the public to maintain the excellent record made in the past two years since inception of the state-wide Keep Oregon Green movment, Forester Rogers contin ued. "The best way for you to slap a Jap is to make sure your match, cigarette and campflre are not allowed to go out unescorted," the county chairman concluded. 5) KRNR Mutual Broadcasting System, 1490 Kilocycles.
