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.

Civilians Assured
Of Eggs Increase
WASHINGTON, July 20 (AP)
If the little red hen stays on
the job, the average American
civilian can eat a few more eggs
In the next 12 months than he
did In the last.
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."

County to Utilize
Gravel Deposit of
Opening of a gravel pit, appar
ently left contrlcs ago by the
meanderings of the Calapoola
river, will; soon1 be undertaken by
the Douglas county court, which
has received' delivery of a rock
cr usher, which is to be set up east
of Sutherlin.
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.
