Edwards, ol Rose AN AMBITIOUS PROGRAM ' By Charles V. Stanfot THE Roseburg, chamber, of, commerce, which has been .struggling along on a. budget pared to the bone in depres sion days and increased to only a limited degree in later years, is novy.eiigaged in. an effort. to increase its revenue through larger , membership payments. A voluntary, in crease in the rate of -financial support is being asked of every menjbetv to provid thCj funds with, which to carry on an active iincl needed program, i . i During the depression' years, the chamber of commerce budget was ciit to a point where it covered only the salaries and a very jneagrp. amount for publicity purposes. Larger membership has since provided slightly increased revenue, but many memberships are still unchanged in rate from former year. The directors have voted to appeal to the membership to voluntarily raise payments, and the officers have taken the lead by adding substantially to their own duqs. : There is a wide disparity in the amounts paid by mem bers.. The chamber in past years has fixed no standard schedule, placing membership largely on a voluntary contri bution basis.. It ;is not planned at the present time to im pose any enforced demands, but a committee has been work ing on, revisions which would classify businesses, firms and individuals and would establish a suggested rate of -payment in each: classification. Thus, when notification, is given members of the budget plan, there will be contained a suggested rate of membership duos for the. firm, business or individual solicited, which would bring the member into line. with others in the same relative position., ,The current industrial expansion of Douglas county makes the work of, the, chamber of commerce more vital to commu nity welfare than ever before. ! Our development of timber resources to date affects only the raw material. Following the war, there will be wide- spread expansion- in the field of plastics, fabrics, alcohol j and other uses for. wood waste. We can either attract these j by-product. plants to Douglas county by a determined pub-: licity. campaign, or we can permit them to locate elsewhere, wlule we remain. in a colonial economy,, furnishing the raw I materials for some other locality to process into manufac- j turod goods. j The Roseburg chamber of commerce is fully aware of. i the. publicity needs, but will require a greatly increased bud-1 got if it is to have the money to prosecute an effective pro- j grain., At the same., time the, directors have mapped out a, number of, projects, considered of great importance, all call-j ing for promotional funds. - ' ' j ' Road and highway improvements,, lower railroad freight I rates, increased hospital, facilities, supervised ' recreation, timber conservation and reforestation of logged off lands,, highway bcautification and public parks, are among some of the projects on which. definite progress already has been niiulVr ... i. . , , , , : ( ) . - The -chamber is planning a large:scalo publicity and. adver tising program to attract tourist trado following the war and will need a large appropriation for printing booklets and statistical material. Work is in progress to obtain better bus and air trans portation facilities, while conservation and propagation of fish and game, municipal swimming pool, and civic center building are among other subjects receiving attention. At the same time, the chamber of commerce is endeavor ing to give full cooperation to the county court, city adminis tration and, board of school directors, and is not confining its efforts to tho City of Roseburg alone, but is endeavoring to make- its support county-wide. If we are to measure up to the opportunities which are knocking at the door of the county, a wide-awake and ener getic chaniber of commerce is essential. We have an or ganization at tho present time which has accomplished a great deal of very valuable work with limited financial sup-Ijort- Tho responsibility now rests with-tho membership whether sufficient funds will be provided to make the opera tions in the future more effective. burg, according to an announce ment made today. The commence ment, will be held at the school house Thursday evening, May 25, al 8 o'clock. PRESIDENT HORIZONTAL 1,7 Pictured former U.

Large Alluvial Diamond Found by Horseshoe Pitcher RICHMOND, Va., May 10 (AP) The "lucky" horseshoe tang as It struck the earth and Hie horseshoe pitcher noticed a bright object partly uncovered. It was the "Punch" Jones dia monddescribed as the largest alluvial diamond ever found in the United States, the largest of any kind found in eastern United States and the second largest of any kind ever found in North America. R. J. Holdcn, professor of geol ogy at Virginia Polytechnic in stitute, speaking today before the annual meeting of Ihe Virginia Academy of Science, told of the finding of tho diamond at Peters town, VV. Va., a few hundred yards from the Virginia line. William P. "Punch" Jones, who with his parents, Mr, and Mrs. I Grover C. Jones,, and fourteen brothers visited the world's fair in New York In 1910, was pitch ing horseshoes with his father. That was about 12 years ago. But in spite of n boyish exclama tion of "see, I have found a dia mond." the stone was not sub mitted for study until recently. The younger Jones kept the ob ject as a curio but did not offer It for expert inspection until many years later "because I did not care to face ridicule for my wild suspicion." Prof. Holdcn, chairman of the geological section of the acad emy, identified the stone as a dia mond. He told the academy that the diamond, now loaned by fa ther and son to the national mu st um in Washington, is of 34.46 metric carats, is white with a slightly greenish tinge, and has no visible impurities except one black spot. The diamond, lie added, is larg er than the Dewey diamond of 23.75 carats which was found in 1S55 near lilchmand and was for many years the largest diamond by far found in the United States.
