ting In will be a mark of PRES
TIGE. Those who make the grade
will be able to say to their friends
with elaborate and carefully re
hearsed nonchulance: "Ob, I Just
happened to bo in Washington at
the time, and so-and-so asked mc
If I wouldn't like to go."
; ' If well done, that will be very
effective, conveying In a restrain
ed and modest sort of way the
idea that the speaker Is a per
son of really worthwhile im
portance who Just mustn't be
overlooked when matters of this
sort aro ufoot. '
. Hence the pressure this morn
ing on everyone who ipifiht con
ceivably be able to wangle an ad
mission especially . members of
congress. (It Is rumored around
that several senators and repre
sentatives, knowing that they had
constituents in town and foresee
ing what would happen, took to
ihe brush and haven't been heard
from since.)
4 T minor affairs of state that
f occur within the sacred pre
cincts of the Capitol building, It
isn't too difficult to beat the
game. A congressman, for ex
ample, will tuke a constituent In
tow, stroll up to the door and
when the sergeant-at-arms is
looking the other way will drift
casually past as if, with his mind
engaged with the larger interests
of the nation, he had forgotten
entirely to pause for Identifica
tion. Or the constituent may be
given a hasty and mumbled in- j
traduction as Mr. Whosls, "a for
mer member who is entitled to
the privilege of Ihe house."
After all, sergeant-at-arms and
other.' attendants arc not un
aware of the terrific heat of the
spots that members of congress
are placed on by visiting con
stituents, and besides they owe
their jobs to them. So, on ordin
ary occasions, they nre not averse
to letting senators and represen
tatives get away with minor
murder of this sort.
But this Is no ordinary occa
on. It is a SUPEft-DUPKR occa
sion, packed with possible drama,
and it is generally understood
that everybody who gets past the
iloors this noon will have to have
gilt-edged credentials and must
be prepared to identify himself
by all the accepted methods, In
cluding examination of his dental
work.
It isn't too hard to understand
why any senator or repivsenta
live you may happen to glimpse
around here this morning will
prolably be wearing a harried
and hunted expression and will
take to Ills heels If he sees you
fii-sl. ''
TO visiting meniliers of the
Fourth Estate, there comes
' naturally the thought of the press
gallery. Isn't that what pifss
galleries are for?
Well, not this time. Here aro
the statistics:
The press gallery of the house
of representatives has seating
accommodations for a little short
of 100 persons, and it might be
that as many as two or three
dozen might on o .-casion be
crowded Into the remaining stand-
ing room. But there are iiomfr

FORD TO BU3LD NEW MILL
" By Charles
Kenneth Ford has been granted priorities to construct a
new sawmill at Dillard, and is preparing to set up a plant
which will have a daily capacity of 75,000 board feet He
already has made a start toward placing" the mill in opera
tion, as the site has been graded and a log pond partially
constructed. Buildings will be erected and machinery in
stalled within the, next 60 to 90 days, according to present
plans, thus forging another link in Douglas county's rapidly
lengthening cHain of industrial expansion.
Ken Ford is entitled to a
has played in the county's, development. His Roseburg
Lumber company mill was the first large-scale enterprise
of its kind in the Roseburg area. During depression days
the mill's payroll was an important factor in keeping a
large number of people from acute suffering. Ford some
how managed to keep struggling along, and, when times
improved, added to his plant and increased production.
Since the start bf the war he has made an excellent record
in supplying lumber for war needs.
- But, in spite of the great amount of time he is required
to give to his business, he nevertheless, takes an active part
in civic affairs. It was largely through his efforts that
the civic center and swimming pool fund campaign was
recently initiated, raising approximately $20,000 to be
set aside for postwar use. The campaign is planned as a
continuing affair. It is proposed to increase the fund by
many thousands of dollars during the current year, and
to continue additions from year to year, through private
subscriptions, until enough money is on hand to construct
an adequate swimming pool, public auditorium and other
civic center and recreational facilities.
Ken Ford is not only accomplishing an excellent work
by developing his own business, with resultant benefit to
the community, but is showing good citizenship in his work
as a member pf a civic club and as a chamber of commerce
director, working for the general welfare of the entire area
City Carriers Setting Good Record
Considering the number of papers the News-Review de
livers each night by city carriers, and the relatively small
number of "kicks" received, the News-Review is very proud
of the record being made by its carrier boys. Many of
these youngsters afe so small that their joads weigh almost
as much as they do when they start out on their routes, but,
rain or shine, they make their rounds, night after night,
and miss relatively few front porches.
These youngsters are confronted daily with numerous
changes in address, new subscribers, stops, etc., so that
their respective deliveries are seldom the same two days in
a row. Because of the paper
mitted nuiiiy "extras'' and,,
mjstukes. : . ;
Since the war started it has
younger carriers than in normal times. The younger boys
are more susceptible to the usual childhood diseases, thus
requiring greater use of "substitutes." i
But all-in-all these conscientious youngsters are doing
a swell job in our opinion.
Occasionally a subscriber fails to receive his paper. The
News-Review has provided for this contingency by supply
ing a "kick" boy. Instructions for calling this boy arc
printed nearly every day, but we find that the News-Review
disappears quickly from most homos, so subscribers often
fail to have on hand a back issue with which to locate the
telephone number to be called.
We also find that many subscribers fail to note the instruc
tions to call the "kick" boy between the hours of t? :-15 and
7 p. m. It is necessary that we maintain the 7 p. m. limit
for otherwise he would be receiving calls at all times of
night and would have no free time for himself. He is
active ih Scouting, athletics and school activities, so we must
arrange his deliveries to permit him to participate in tlje
various organizations to which he belongs.
So, should you be one of the few subscribers who may
be missed by a regular or substitute carrier, please give us
your cooperation by calling the "kick" boy within the speci
fied time. And it might bo well if you would clip tho direc
tions out of the paper and paste them in some handy spot
for future reference.
