that the engineering on projected postwar highway im

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.

clear statement:
Estimated deficits (gap be

push the national debt to 198

258 billions a year later. He esti

THIS Is the situation we will

PHILADELPHIA, Jan. 15.
(AP) In the face of a health
ol fleer's warning that uncollect

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

union leader asked if they would
accept the city's offer of a four

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. ArtiMrr (t r'rv)oiii lnlr

Travelers Can Aid
In Easing Task of
Transportation
Civilians who must travel dur

hints today by J. A. Harding,
Roseburg, public relations com-
..!....., tho Ampricah
I umaI accntinHnn and manapinE
owner of the Umpqua hotel, Rose
burg. "No matter when victory
comes," stated Mr. Harding, "it
is logical to assume that travel
and, to a great extent, hotel fa
cilities in this country will con
tinue to be taxed to the utmost for
a least one or two years after the
axis Dowers have been crushed
"To help essential travelers
solve their transportation proo
lern, I suggest they follow these
sueeestions: 1. Travel on less
crowded trains, at less crowded
hours, and on less crowded days;
2, have hotel reservations con
firmed in advance; 3,, cancel your
reservations and hotel the min
ute your plans are changed; 4,
double-up with friends on Pull
man and hotel accommodations;
5, travel light, with minimum lug
gage and with bags well mark
ed for quick identification."

and his entire cast, including the
camel, will make the trip. Cleve

evening marks the last appear
ance of Eric Leinsdorf as conduc

will be filled by four guest con
ductors, all ready chosen tmt no
announcement as to when they
will take over.
Robert Ripley, of Believe It Or
Not fame, was to make his first
appearance on the 6:15 spot on
Monday, but Instead of Ripley
you'll get a big War Loan show,
being released over all four net
works for a full hour between six
and seven. "Let's All Back the
Attack" is the title. The array of
guest stars is imposing such as
Henry Morgenthau, Captain Ron
ald Reagan, Bing Crosby, Judy'
Garland, Captain Glen Miller and
the Armed Service band, David
Brookmun and his orchestra and
a group of governors. Be sure to
remember this one. Not dnly will
you get some very elegant enter

mood to dig down for that impor
tant extra War Bond when the
program is over.
