WHEN the signal is given there is no unseomlngly rush al though, of course, no One over : looks un opportunity to get In the Iront row. The beautiful oval room ; .fills Quickly. Someone hack at the door says: "Everyone In, sir." FDR is seated at his gadget-littered desk, which Is -familiar to every American through the , medium of pictures. He wears a Jlght-gruy suit, Willi a blue bow die. He is smoking. There are various aides In the room, some of them standing behind liim, and others, Including several of Ills secretaries, circulate through , the crowd, greeting acquaint ances. The group pushes clear up to the edge of the desk. At the announcement that everybody is ip, silence falls like ' a velvet curtain. If you had a pin and had room to .drop It, you could hear It hit the floor. The silence continues for per haps a second. Then the question ing begins. IT Is obvious immediately that this is no great occasion, when momentous news is to be given out. The questions are more or less routine. Some one Is Interested In the Italian fleet, and how It is to he divided among us, the British and the Russians. The President par ries the Inquiries, giving smiling answers Hint reveal no military Information. Someone else wants to know about the military situation In southeast Asia. Again the smiling, non-revealing nnswers, given in n friendly tone, with all the char acteristics of speech so familiar to radio listeners. S1 "TILL, no holds are barred. Someone wants to know If the President cares to comment on the recent New York election to fill a congressional vacancy tin which a Republican very nearly scraped in In a tradition ally Democratic district 1. FDR grins and replies thai he knows no more about it than he has read In the papers. The crowd laughs. Then comes the ONE dramatic moment. A voice says: "Mr. President, have you seen Senator Uarklcy since the . . . ." The sentence Isn't finished. There is no need lor it to be. Every one knows what is meant. The President replies shortly "NO!" Gone from his voice Is the ban tering note that has been there so far. His tone is almost sharp. There Is a laugh, hut not a loud j one. It ,is obvious that this Hark Joy business is slill no Joking mat ter. ANOTHER routine question or so, answered smilingly and equably, and the brief conference ends. The regulars break for the door, their assignment ended. Newcomers In the group are in- ENCOURAGING ' By Charlei V. Stanton THE Roseburg liitfh school Indians have completed their basketball season. From the standpoint of games von and lost the season was not too successful, although the squad staged a wonderful comeback in the finale, coming within two points of a tie with the team which won the district championship. But we have peen wondering if thp team might not have had a better record had it been given the public support to which it was entitled. ; f i ; We have contact, naturally, with a great many sports fans. We have given car this crabbing because the team, bilities, was not winning more games. We never listen to such complaints without an overwhelming desire to ask: "What are you doing to help the team win games?" We usually are able to refrain from such blunt questions, but the1 unspoken thought remains. Attendance of adult fans at this year's home basketball games was unusually light. It is a peculiar fact that spec tators go to games to see the home team win. As long as the team wins, the galleries will bo filled, but when the home team loses a few games in a row, the attendance slumps. This condition is no more in evidence in Rose burg than elsewhere. , The number of fans who attend sports contests for the sake of the game alone are few indeed. The vast majority are present to and a few defeats quickly dampen the ardor of the spectators. Yet latin should realize that the team cannot give of its best, particularly when high team, unless it has the right kind of support. When a team is playing to a large and partisan gallery;.' ui-odticjiig vocal support and pulling for a far more determined effort 11, on the other hand, the fans intercut in the welfare of the criticism of themselves and their coaches, they can hardly be expected to enter into competition with a spirit to win to avoid disappointing their backers. The Roseburg high school which lell Jar short of its capabilities. We believe a large part of the blame rests with the fans who failed to give the team the right kind of encouragement. There are, of course, some extenuating circumstances. Persons who normally are regular spectators at games hjive been unusually busy. A great many ol the younger male fans are in military service. But we believe everyone will agree that had the Learn lon a consistent winner, the attendance would have been much greater. If you feel as we do about this matter, we hope you will resolve with us to give the school better support in its future activities. And if you arc willing to make such a resolution rnday night of this week will be a good time to put it to a Springfield and Marshfiold will meet on the Roseburg court for an elimination contest which is extremely vital to both teams. The winner will go to the state championship tournament. We have no particular interest in the game aside from witnessing an exciting spectacle. Yet, we can perform a service to both teams by our attendance We tan show encouragement to a worthwhile activity simplv" by taking our places in the hall. We will be assured our money s worth in entertainment. Roseburg is ideally suited for tournaments and neutral floor games, but when such contests have been hold here in the past attendance has been so disappointing that there ... e been few repeals.

Hut there is no lingering. The room is cleared In a matter of minutes -almost ot moments -and the business of slate Is re sumed. T HE President was not in n ovial mood t Hits morning ns, the ilil-tlmers say he often Is at these conferences.

EDWARDS When Martin Luther was at tVartburg Castle, where he was virtually a prisoner, he would open his window every morning, look up at the sky and cherrily sing, "God is our refuge and strength." John Ruskin also knew the value of 1 glad outlook and he would awaken his guests at Brant wood, calling "Are you looking out?" When they looked a scene of beauty met their eyes. Few things so determine the soul's welfare as does its out look. If our spiritual frontage Is toward the shadows all things are wrapped In glom, If oward the sunlight all things are bright. Hence the primary question is "What isthe out look?" Thomas Carlyle wrot, "From a small window one may see the infinite." Daniel when cautioned opened his windows toward Jerusalem and kneeled upon his knees three times a day and prayed. If we keep the windows of out soul open toward Jerusalem1, God has promised to open the windows of heaven and pour us out a blessing that there; shall not be room enough tq receive it. There shall be showers of blessings. Oh that today they might fall Now as to God we're confess-' ing, Now as on Jesus we call. 9:15 Rex Miller, Wlldroot. . 9:30 Fulton Lewis, Jr., Hunt t Bros.
