the plain that leads to Austria,

By Charles V. Stanton
WE Americans are a peculiar people. We do things in a
peculiar way. Witness our War Loan campaigns.
In other countries, even those with which we are allied,
stern measures of compulsion mark government financing.
But here in the United States we have, in every previous
bond campaign, subscribed more money than was requested,
but hiid to be coaxed, persuaded, inspired, entertained and
excited.
We hl-e not lacking in patriotism. We are seriously con
cerned with the progress of the war effort; we could not be
otherwise with our boys on the firing line. We realize the
investment value of war bonds. We buy freely and gen
erously when we get around to it. But we demand a cer
tain amount of stimulation.
One of the strongest stimulating agencies is the motion
picture industry. The motion picture theater, as an Ameri
can institution, plays a great part in our daily lives, for
education and entertainment. It has been particularly ag
gressive in promotion of war bond sales.
The bond premiere at the Indian theater in Roseburg to
night is an example of what is being done throughout the
land.
The theater management is donating its facilities, spend
ing a large slim of money to bring one of the season's out
standing screen hits for a preview, and is admitting, free
of charge, persons who have bought bonds through outright
sales or through payroll deductions. In addition, the Rose
burg theater management is sponsoring a matinee for kid
dies, Dec. 18, and recently presented free shows for bond
buyers at both theaters.
Few people realize the extent of the sacrifice by riiotion
picture exhibitors in sponsoring these shows. There is a
heavy Operating, or overhead, cost in the movie business.
The tost of the film is high particularly on the film being
shown in Roseburg. This means that 1,500 or more people
who see the show at the preview tonight will not pay regular
admission prices should the film be returned at a later date
On regular booking.
But the motion picture industry, from top to bottom, has
been far from niggardly in Its contribution to the war ef
fort. Actors have given freely of their time, at personal
financial loss, to tour the country on behalf of war bond
sales and have visited battle areas throughout the world to
entertain personnel in combat zones. Several have sacri
ficed ;i,their, Hyea, through accident or illness while giving
cooperation in- fields of war bond sales or overseas enter
tainment. Producers and exhibitors alike have utilized their re
sources and facilities in all-out aid to war activities.
Their flair for showmanship, unbounded energy and
box office sacrifice have been put to use as major contri
butions for stimulation both at home and abroad.
But the movie industry is not alone in this program of
.public-proddng. Equal contribution is being made by the
radio industry' and its personnel. ' '
Newspapers, too, have been a powerful factor in every j
phase of the war effort.
Advertising art has reached a high peak of perfection in
support of war bond sales.
Millions of dollars worth of advertising has appeared in
magazines and newspapers throughout the nation, urging
public buying of war bonds. These advertisements have
been paid for by firms and individuals. They have cost the
government nothing. Roseburg business firms combined
very early in the war to cooperate with the government in
all phases of war activity in which advertising could aid,
and their Victory Council, in identical or similar form, is
now generally followed in nearly every major city ami town
where newspapers are published.
Through the motion picture and radio industries, news
papers and magazines, and through advertising appeal at
its highest peak ol efficiency, the American public is re
ceiving the coaxing, entertainment and inspiration it tra
ditionally associates with a campaign of this kind.
It may seem' peculiar, when we stop to ponder, that we
should require till this stimulation to do the thing we all
realize is essential, but it's a darned sight better to do it
this way than to tolerate compulsory savings which beyond

State's Higher
Schools Need
re
Enrollment Growth tjp
Be Heavy, Speaker Says;
Legislative Aid Asked
Requests to the stale legisla
ture for funds with which to con
struct buildings needed by. the
state's institutions of higher ed
ucation are considered very rea
sonable when future needs are
studied. Dr. Earl Wells, head of
the public speech department of
Oregon State college, said in
Roseburg Tuesday, speaking at a
pUb'lc meeting sponsored by the
Kiwanis club.
The program was arranged by
a committee which included Mrs.
Gooico Houck, representing Ore
gon State college; Kenneth
Barneburg, Southern Oregon
Normal school; Verna Carruth
ers, Oregon College of Education,
Monmouth, and W. H. Gerrctsen,
University of Oregdn.
The State Board of Higher Ed
ucation Is asking the legislature
to appropriate 52,237,000 to fl
nonce new buildings during the
coming hlennluin, Dr. Wells stat
ed, and a 10-year program, call
ing tor expenditures amounting
to slightly more than $5,000,000,
has been outlined. The amount
requested, however, is 40 per cent
less than estimates furnished by
individual Units of the state edu
cational system.
Heavy Growth Foreseen
In 1939, when the state, had a
population of 1,003,000, schools
ot higher education had a peak
enrollment of 11,509 students. An
ticipated normal growth will re
sult In population of 1,301,000
and an enrollment In colleges and
universities ol 15.800 by 1950, he
predicted, while by 1900, there
will bo a population of 1,775,000
with enrollment of 21,500. The
speaker emphasized that these
calculations are based upon a nor
mal rate of increase. It, as is
generally predicted, the state ex
periences a great Industrial boom,
both population and school enroll
ment figures will be Increased
proportionately.
During I he past 15 years, Dr.
Wells reported, the legislature
has provided only $100,000 , for
buildings in the higher education
system, or less money than was
appropriated In any other of the
western stales. Including Idaho.
Nevada and Wyoming.
At the present time, he said,
only 52 per cent of the total phy
sical plant of the state system re
sulted from state appropriations,
the balance having been financed
through gifts, federal grants, stu
dent fees and other sources. In
the past 10 years 15 buildings,
worth $3,000,000 have been built
from non-state funds.
A large number of visitors met
with the Kiwanis club to hear
Dr. Wells' address.
Klwnnians were advised thai
the club will hold its regular
noon luncheon Tuesday, Dec. 12,
and on that same evening will
hold the annual Christmas par
ties for members, their ladies and
invited guests at the Country
club, starting at 8:30 o'clock.

Editor News-Review:
In the Dec. 3rd issue of the
Sunday Oregonian, a story was
printed on page 12 under caption,
"Scientist Says 1882 Comet
Brightest in Past 150 Years."
It was a very interesting ar
ticle, for as a boy just past 10
years of age, I distinctly remem
ber that comjt of 1882.
My parents lived on a farm
one and a half miles N. W. of
Norfolk. Madison county, Nebras
ka, and I recall the delight with
which my parents, sisters and
brother viewed that wonderful
and, to us, awesome sight.
The comet appeared to us In
the eastern sky some distance
above the horizon, and extended
from a point in the northeastern
sky to a point in the southwest
ern sky, and was very bright and
distinct.
We wore able to see it for sev-

It's a good thing that Wednes
day night's programs aren't on
during the hours when we're sup
posed to be working because we
wouldn't get a thing done. We
love Cisco and Main Line is one
of our favorite shows of the w cek
likewise Bulldog Drummond
and Denny, with their fascinatin'
accents, are favorites of ours.
Wings Over the West Coast is
music to our ears just the kind
we like best -so, you can see we
wouldn't get much c'.onc it they
were on daytime hours. In our
very plush new home, we have
the opportunity of listening or
not, just as we like, since each of
fiee has its own speaker and
there are some programs we nev-
,er miss.
However, the big news, natur
ally, is the Bond Jamboree tomor
row night. We'll start at 8 and go
a full hour until the 9 o'clock,
news comes on. Then we're off
