Sale of Timber on
Revested O. K.
Lands Reported
I W. H. Horping, chief forester
for the genera.1 land office of the
Department of the Interior, re
ports that 39,015,000 board feet
of .timber oh tho revested Oregon
and California railroad grant
lands was sold at the regular
monthly sale hold on April 11.
The timber was on thirteen wide
ly distributed areas, located In
various counties In western .Ore-
con. The total ,salo .price was
$130,786.50. "V
- The total sales of Q. & C. , tim
ber since July 1, 1P43, amount to
304,107,000 board feet and sold
lor $1,016,022.33.
', Timber sold from O. & ,C. lands
has contributed substantially to
the log supply so necessary to the
sawmills and plywood plants In
this area in filling the needs ot
our armed forces ior lumber and
other wood products. Most of the
timber cut from government
lands In western Oregon Is ob
lalned from the O. and C. lands.
The timber on the O. & C.
lands is cut according to the re
quirements of sustained yield'
management. The total supply
of.: timber available on these
lands is ample to permit the per
petual harvesting of 500.000,000!
board feet annually. 'Managevj
mem practices are in cuccr.
which accomplish prompct refor
estation of lands alter ripe tim
ber is cut. In general, this is done
hy leaving numerous trees for
the natural reseedlng of ull such
areas. In places, fire has taken
euch a heavy toll of the green
limber that reforestation by such
natural methods is Impractical.,
Where that Is the case, the dam
aged areas are reforested by the
planting of nursery-grown seed
lings. This season the foresters of
tho O. & C. administration are
planting 1,000,000 trees on such
n area which was devastated by
fire In the "disastrous 'Tillamook
hum of 1933. While contributing
heavily to .the needs of war, the
management of these lands looks
to the future and prepares lo sup
ply .the endless needs of peace
i'(tqr the war.
LETTERS
to the Editor
LEXICOGRAPHERS GIVEN
BRU8H OFF IN "ROMANIA"
To the Editor:
It appears that Ihe press asso
rlatlqns have usurped the author
ity of the lexicographers In the
matter of geographical spelling.
A. few weeks ago, without warn
ing, came the dictum from the
newspaper people that "Human
la" should henceforth .be spelled
"Romania." And "Homania" it
became overnight, editors, proof
readers, and linotype operators
linrl to take It and .like it.
Why .the change was made no
body knows. The name of that
explosive Balkan country has lit
tle or nothing to do with Rome.
It was one of the last acquisi
tions. of the .Roman empire, and
wbb soon lost. Rloanwhlle It had
become populated by a mixture
of Slavonic peoples who were the
progenitors of the modern Ro
manians. All .that was left to
Identify the country with Rome

YOJP ON TH2 SCHOOL
MEASURE
. By CharUs
VOTERS in the Roseburg school district will be called upon
next Wednesday ;to determine whether there shall -fee
created a fujid to ihe used in
Most localities are at york on postwar planning, but Jlose
burg cannot wait until the post war period. The need is
here now and promises to become increasingly critical. , , , i
The difficult part of 'the problem is that no one can defi
nitely foresee the future. It is known that Roseburg and all
of Douglas county will experience a tremendous industrial
growth. Jf we Jyiew just 'how many newcomers ,wUJ njoye
into, the county and the ages of the children who will seek
entrance in our schools, it w.ould not .be .difficult ,to jfffiie
mine .exactly how our facilities should be enlarged.
We are fujly aware that
enlarged school accommodations. Whether .the heavy de
mand will be on elementary
not De lorecast attue, present, time.
Also to ,b,e .considered is tjlie
the pay-as-y.qu-go method, We naye had experience .with
bond issues. We know that for every JiOO.OQO we issue (in
bonds, .we usually pay almost as much in debt service. In
fact, the City of Roseburg paid three times .the .cost of its
city nan in interest beiore it
the bonds.
Wo .believe it is generally
for .emergency purposes, are (economically .usoutid yien jv;e
can operatje.pn a pay-as-you-go ibasis and tjtus save intejret
cnarges. , i
The .directors of the Roseburg schqol district, we believe,
have .offered a .very sound proposal.
l;hey are placing before the
if approved, tlevy a tax of not
for a .definite perioti ;of ;iyo
t,nis yoma ytod approximately
ijhat sum ,or money could
in need of increased facilities in our .elementary school
systeni. We .perhaps can struggle along .with the existing
high school arrangement fyr a few more years. JBut at
leat ,pne .elementary .school cannot ,be delayed. It should
be n prqcess.vtf .construction immediately. Ilpw.ever, it can
not be -built for at least pn.e year, even if the special levy
meets apprpval, and by that tinie it .will he imperative. !
l-ho plan .preposed to the
advantage pf ilexibility, in that it provides money to mee.t
qonilitip'n8 ;br,pught about by ohaiiging circumstances. Money
aim -bo accumulted f pr major construction, .which .will -be
definitely necessitated if population increases fpllow.tlie cur
rent trend. At tne same time,
utilized 100 per cent for
will be. diyorted to meet debt
fcvery eligible .voter should
high school between 2 and 7 p. m. Wednesday and cast a
l)nlloUipon ,this proposition.' 1 jit is not necessary to, urge tne
opposition to vote. Those who do not favor the measure will
bo out in force. -But 'those 'who approve and who desire to
qqe ,pur school system maintained on an .efficient and jpro-:
gressive basis are apt, experience proves, to neglect giving
thoir endorsement by ballot. "
I1T spite of the inroads .mad,e into our .govcrmnental sys-'
cm, this is still a democracy and majority rule should pre
vail, 'llnis the vpte on the school issue should be a repre
sentative vpte and should include an expression from every
eligible citizen. ' ' :
was a tradition and a forin of
Latin speech. For centuries un
der the dominion of Turkey, it
oceanic an Independent .kingdom
In 1881.
As late as 1938 standard dic
tionaries spelled it "Ro'umania."
Then the dictionary people de
cided to drop tho '"o" and It be
came "Rumania." Now .the press
associations, casually brushing
the lexicographers aside, .have
changed the "u" to "o," wlt,h the
result above noted. ' What will
happen to this form of spelling
In the future may Just as woll be
set aside as one ot the postwar

First a quick reminder that
this is Double or Nothing night.
The time is 6:30 and the broad
cast, which marks the anniver
sary of Mark Twain's death,
comes to you from Philadelphia.
For those of us who are Mark
Twain fans (and they' are le
gion), this should be interesting
and lots of fun. Likewise this is
the night for Name That. Song.
We're sorry we cant give you any
advance dope on this show: part
of the ,fun of listening to this is
ithe element of surprise that's al
ways present, and it's so, good
there's really no need to tempt us
;lo .listen with advance appetizers.
Just remember the time is ,8:30.
Now on to Saturday: Don't over
look the good Scrvlcemens shows
in.the p. m. Navy Bulletin Board
at' 2, American Eagles in Britain
at 4 and Flying High at 4:30.
-This week's Chicago Theatre ot
the Air at 6 d'clock brings you
opera In the grand style. It's
"Tales -of Hoffman," with Mar
Ion Clailre and " Gilbert ' Russell
singing the leads and Bruce
Footo and Ruth Slater appearing
In the supporting roles. We freely
admit that we're not qualified to
criticize, but If la Claire would
sir(g as "purty as she .looks we'd
like it better. "Downbeat Derby"
come 8 o'clock is more our speed.
Jo Stafford will guest this week
and her recording of "Long Ago
and Far Away" will be one of the
tunes played. Remember you can
now send your votes directly to
Al Jarvis at KHJ, Hollywood 38,
California; .you don't have to get
an official ballot any more. Na
turally the sponsors like lots of
ballots but we'll be perfectly hap
py if they'll just keep on playing
all .that good music every Satur
day evening.

"The war Stories I like best, JikIsc, pie
the ones by the special writers overseas

"I agree with you, Sam. I never miss one
of those stories in the Kipcrs or magazines.
And there's one thing those writers seem to
agree on no matter where they arc stationed
with our men... ami that is that the men
