BALDOCK reports that the engineering on projected postwar highway im provements in Oregon can be completed within six months. This riieans the commission has prepared a program and has developed extensive and detailed plans, and is now in a posi tion to afford employment to space of time, if emergencies The highway commission postwar planning in a most effective arid efficient manner. It will be recalled that the commission members, accompanied by representatives bf the budget bureau, postwar planning committee arid other departments, recently made st tour covering every section bf the counties. The meeting at Roseburg was attended by the county court, officers from the municipalities and by representatives of the chamber of corhmeree and By securing first-hand information in every section of the state, not only by actual inspection but also through consul tation with the residents, the commission was able to gain a very complete picture of the The commission did hot form its opinions by looking at a map; it went out and travelled the roads. It went to the people affected to pick up all available information concerning each proposed improvement. It gathered pertinent data. The study was Very thorough and complete. Such act should furnish a pattern to some of the federal bureaus and agen cies trying to control the entire country from Washington, tVC. : Mr. Baldock reports the state is now in readiness to han dle road projects amounting tc Of particular interest to the improvement of the Pacific highway is the first item on the commission's postwar agenda. We have long struggled under a terrific transportation handicap. We have been kept road company, which has discouraged industrial develop ment. We have had no suitable passenger service by rail. Approximately one-third of the entire Pacific highway is in Douglus county and within that stretch is to be found Some 'of the most crooked roads iri the country. We have been bot tled in, both north and south, by twisting harrow roads which have retarded industrial transportation as well as diverting tourist travel. ' Medford residents, for instance, at prewar speeds, can travel farther over the Crater lake, The-Dalles-California arid Willamette highways and save 30 minutes of time into Eugene, as compared with the lapse of time over the Pacific highway. , Reconstruction of the Pacific highway and the Columbia river highway are two projects of the greatest importance to the entire state of Oregon The Pacific Northwest in the postwar era will very probaUly become the most active and important section of the nation. Trade with the South Pa cific, China and Russia undoubtedly will radiate principally from the ports bf the Pacific northwest. The abundance of hydroelectric . power will moith increased industrialization. Ample transportation routes are vital to industrial develop ment and the Pacific highway is beyond all question the most vital route with the Columbia river highway a close second. The commission's plan to provide $21,000,0()() for primary highways aiid $6,850,000 for secondary roads, indicates it recognizes not only the need to provide the materials to match the anticipated industrial expansion, but is considering as well the feeder roads through which the raw materials will flow into the consuming and manufacturing centers. to understand, hut he makes this clear statement: Estimated deficits (gap be tween Income arid outgo) will push the national debt to 198 BILLIONS by next June and to 258 billions a year later. He esti mates thai such a debt will re quire INTEREST payments of 5 billions a year which is more than our entire extravagant na tional government was costing a Tew years ago. THIS Is the situation we will face when the war ends: We will be BROKE. Our debt will roughly approach the cur rent cash value of our assets. Hut don't let that scare you. Many a good man has been broke and has pulled out of it In a surprisingly short time, wind ing up better off than he was be fore. . By HARD WORK and careful spending. THA T'S how we can pull out and It's about the only way. The thing for us to do is to realize now that when the war ends SANTA CLAUS WILL BE DEAD and we'll linn to work for what we get. If we'll do that, we can pull out O. K. Rope, Twine Makers Face Iridicrment on Prices SEATTLE. Jan. 15.

(AP) In the face of a health ol fleer's warning that uncollect ed rubbish may cause "another epidemic of Influcnzn," 3.000 pub lic works employees carried their strike Into ils 10th day today, etter booing a suggeslion that they repudiate their union lead ers and go back to work. The Philadelphia Record in a front page editorial urged Mayor Bernard Samuel to "call upon the federal government to send troops into Phlldelphia to end the health menace created by the strike," which was called to en force the union's demand for a 10 cents an hour wage Increase. Dr. Hubley R. Owen, director of medical services for the board of education, issued the health warning. Mole than 1,000 of the strike ers shouted "no" when, at the first general membership meet ing since the walkout began, a union leader asked if they would accept the city's offer of a four cent iinrcase with the dif'-pivnc? to be submitted to arbitration.

U - Success of Paper Drive Credited to Schoolchildren Douglas county's waste paper salvage drive Is beginning to roll in high gear, according to M. C. Peterson, local salvage dealer. "It takes the kids to really get a scrap drive going," Peterson said, commenting on the work now under way. Boy Scouts, lie reported, have collected around five tons of waste paper in the past few days, while the children of St. Joseph's par ish school are engaged in a con test which promises to equal if not Surpass the collections made by the Scouts. Several rural schools also have made large collections, Peterson reports. Sufficient waste . paper has been collected to load one car and a good start has been made on a second carload, the dealer stated. Collections to date amount to around 35 tons. It is expected that the total for the current drive will amount to about three car loads.
